and what maps?

picks will be added up on thursday night,
as you saw b4 i just add together the times maps are mentioned and that is what we do. so post up.

time was perfect...better for me at 6pm instead of 3pm.
ima look around at some maps and post ideas alter...

Thanks for making Draft Nights happen nino!!!! <3

Would like to see:

Overwatch
Area 22

avalon

I was Sooo damn close to saying fuck it and quitting right in the middle of picks when people kept leaving there team channel. I don't care if you don't wanna be captain, thats the new rule you have no choice, you don't have to do picks. This makes teams a lot more closely matched.

That person was me Im sorry.

i liked it, except that i have to leave at 10 pm, and it took till 9:47 to get all ready and in server...

ya, and your team was the first one to start, team 1v8 and team 4v5 didn't get started until 10:15 or so. That and, we started doing picks at 9:15pm that took way to long to get done. Might need to go with 8pm, for just in-case something goes wrong. Team 4 made finals and didn't finish until 12:50am. Thats way to late.

I could not play this time because at 9pm is 2am to me and there is no way i can play at that time and play on to 6am.

how does putting some killbox maps sound?

Strange wrote:how does putting some killbox maps sound?

It'd get tallied up like any other map... although i haven't seen any killbox/arena map that would make sense in 4v4 team play.

time wasn't very good for someone that has to wake up early as fuck.

-----

this week: 7pm start
rnd1 - caverns
rnd2 - caverns
rnd3 - caverns

i think 7pm would be best, or at least worth a try, 9pm is too late If we have issues. Sorry SND i have much more West coast players that could play if it's later then Euro players if it's earlier.


talley so far.

say the map name or i don't count it

also, doing 8 lets us finish at 11:50pm if it goes as slow as last time.....

I'd like to do 8, but until i can trust people to do picks faster. I went with 7pm est

15 minutes for 32 players.
15 minutes for picks. (7:30pm)
5 minutes to get in the server and start 7:35pm
45 minutes to get round 1 (8:10pm)
5 to catch up with other teams (8:15pm)
45 minutes for round 2 (9:00pm)
5 to catch up (9:05pm)
45 minutes for finals (9:50pm)

but everything gets dragged out

nino thanks for making this happen...

anyways i can' t make it to the next draft night but now that i understand this a little bit more i think i'll be able to make it in about 4 weeks from the 22nd. going on vacation for a while. so heres how i understand it, correct me if i am wrong....

32 players, 8 teams, 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5. join vent an hour early, games start at what time?? 7pm i believe.

umm also not sure how to make sure you're on the same team with your team mates in game. if anyone has any info/link for this please help with that.

sorry if it seems choppy, i didn't get much sleep last night.

I agree with Nino in making the teams as even as possible.

The time was too late. I work for a living and can't always stay up til 1 am. As it is it usually takes me an hour to get to sleep after leaving the computer (something with the effects of the screen and playing games on your brain).

I will play dm_projects, bakbone, area 22, ld_r3, caverns, avalon amp, warlock, zeta, lv, lv_two and just about any other classic style map you want to name. Backbone in particular would be fun to try.

Will not do a 4v4 on OW (this has been discussed ad nausium...can you say dead horse?). I also won't play on a kb map. Snipe (kb) and smg spray (OW as 4v4) fests just don't appeal.

thxbye

that's about right. the time's subject to change at anytime, as was last time, so remember to check on that.

spartan_eplewis89 wrote:umm also not sure how to make sure you're on the same team with your team mates in game.

check the scoreboard when you come in the server and change your character model if you have to.

mapwise, octagon is some fun shits, and so is backbone

that sig is the strangest, most bizarre and funniest one i have seen! lol

Back to the thread!!

so will it still bve at 8 pm central? im sorry but that whole time change confusing me in so many ways....
but yeah i like the sound of overwatch

no 7pm est / 6pm cst

9pm est/8pm cst was to late as we didn't finish until 12:50am est which is too late for a sunday, we can do 9/8pm cst when everyone helps the draft get done fast, and stops trying to hang out and draw everything out.

Sorry Paradox, but i love Overwatch and don't care how many times YOU discuss it!
Draft Night is supposed to be a fun competition, so why does every map have to loaded with weapons every five feet.

Over watch is the greatest team domination map out there.

"OOOOOOO their whoring the RPG!!!!!! " Really? Take LV, Swamplight, Amplitude, Zeta, and Avalon- which one is NOT a RPG Rape map?

I just think it would be a slamming good time ONCE.

have you every played overwatch in a 4v4?
i have played it... 4 times in a 4v4 for league play
Rpg whoring isn't the problem with it, the problem is 60% of the time you are using the smg
while it is fun to have to hold the building, it is too hard to attack it. Once you get the building in 4v4 the only weapons you can really get are the x-bow 1 smg nade and the ar2+ball

I am not the only one who has discussed this, there have been many many posts and I am in the majority opinion here. There are not enough weapons for 8 people with 1 mag, 1 xbow, 1 shotty, 3 smg nades, 1 ar2 and 2 orbs and a rocket. Your gona spend half your time praying for a weapon to spawn. And yea forget trying to get the mag, one of the few weaps that can counter the rpg. All of the other maps you mention that are used for 4v4 have enough weapons for 8 people. Its not the RPG thats the issue. I didnt say its a bad map, in fact I love trying to kill the guy up on the roof with the RPG. 4v4 on OW would end up being an SMG spray fest which IMHO would SUCK ASS! Its never going to get the votes for it as a 4v4. Its a fine (and fun) as a 1v1 or a 2v2 but thats it. It used to be a CAL map they took it out for a reason. Ever wonder why? Someone who has been around care to enlighten us?
Yes, its your right to keep bringing it up and ours to keep shooting it down.

There are plenty of weapons. They/re called Tables and file cabinets and radiators

Round 1 - Backbone
Round 2 - Lostvillage_two
Round 3
i'll do a poll for these 2
caverns_r1
avalon_b1

Round 1 - Backbone
Round 2 - Lostvillage_two
Round 3 - Caverns_r1

Of course it's too late to pick maps...
I like

Caverns
Lost Village Two
Powerhouse

Also, to comment on the faster team picks... it would help if people in vent used their game name or at least put it in comment. :/ Most do but the ones that don't cause me to hesitate when picking.
