Draws....they suck.

I can only comment on pub matches obviously, but draws are more painful than a loss IMHO.

What are the advantages of a draw over a loss? I'm struggling to find one.

The other team didn't win either.

How would you go about removing draws from the game?

Dunno not countedbn w/L

Cause both sides lose the match. If you cannot get a win by any means, then what better to have your enemy feel your pain. If your talking about the Lemmings capping from both sides (Your team one flank when other team rushes other flank), then I suggest talking the team to split up more decently.

many matches I have had to break the lemmings apart to pull wins, just barely.

How would you solve the stalemate? Yes they suck because all that work for nothing.

Could make it a kill all tanks to win or if both teams are capping the cap timer works like it does in an Encounter battle.

I guess that could work but I really don't like that solution.

I think the system is fine the way it is. Wins are great, losses are annoying/rage inducing and draws hit like a sad movie.

And when It's just one on each team, both sitting in each others cap?



Sometimes, nobody wins. That's life.

Yeah, but I'm still new. No-one listens to new people

Unfortunately, the forums and in-game are two different beasts lol But thanks

For the record; much of this games player base won't listen to people who have been around for 10K+ games, nor with win records better than their own, nor with 13 other people agreeing with someone. Some people won't listen to anyone.

Remove countdown automatic draw no more battles needed. You're a genius.

I would agree with this idea as a new game mode (like total annihilation? where you wipe out every single tank on the battlefield and there is no cap)

However, as a general thing to implement this into the whole game
In some situations this might be a bad idea. Like per say (just an example)

There is a tier 6-10 encounter battle going on and the battle has reached an impass. A tier 10 E-100 at 1/2 hp vsing a tier 7 tiger at 3/4 health.

Obviously if the only Win/Loss idea was implemented then it would seem "almost" hopeless depending on the skills of the people driving those said tanks.But lets assume one guy has very poor skills with driving his tank (and yet he still survived the whole battle ) This leads to the team with the person with poor skills thinking "Damn we lost" before the battle even ends.

Also if you're in a battle and the odds are pretty much against you... would you rather take a draw over a loss? (Im sure I would) I would rather have the other side tasting a Draw than letting them taste Victory.

Its not that your idea is bad...its just that I think it should be implemented as a new game mode as total annihilation

Now I like the sound of that.
