Forum games: EU server #3b

This is another try for the forum games:

  1. Friday 11 March 2022
  2. between 6.30pm and 8.30pm UTC (please beware of the time and you can check what this means for you with any time converter such as A random time converter on webpage or an application on smartphone);
  3. Maps list: Towers of Doom, Cursed Hallow, Tomb of the Spider Queen, Dragon Shire, Infernal Shrines and Volskaya Foundry.

Some remarks:

  1. the aim is to have fun between forumers. There is no need to be “good” at the game to play!
  2. EU server means that the games will be held on the EU server and the time is more tailored to EU players. But anyone can join;
  3. You can add player who do not usually post on the forum. But it is then of your responsability to see that they are on time for the games.

During the games:

  1. there is a/several special observer whose purpose is to look for balance for the upcoming games and propose team compositions. Players can also make suggestions for the next game. I have the last word on team compositions;
  2. during the lobby, the lobby channel is used only for organization. For everything else, that will be on another channel (forumies for instance);
  3. during the games, the all chat can be used freely;
  4. Platinum 2 and above are not allowed to draft their mains. I will not go look at people profiles, so I’ll trust people to not draft their mains. Platinum 3 and below are allowed to play whatever they want;
  5. between each game, we take a 5 minutes break (after people are invited back to the lobby though) because I need to.

Before the games:

  • For players: please add your rank and prefered roles (and for Platinum 2 and above players, provide your preferred roles considering that you are not supposed to draft your main heroes). Initial teams are set with the given information. The person(s) that does this initial team compositions can ask for in game statistics and up to 3 games to be uploaded / or played with the player if they want to have more information than just the MMR. Note the “can”, this is not compulsory. But if a player is asked to, the player should do as asked;
  • For viewers: just tell if you are willing to propose team compositions;
  • For everyone:
    • this post will be updated with people who are interested in playing or viewing. So if you don't find your name here, it means that I forgot to add you. Just reply to the thread again then;
    • I only know how to invite people in a custom game from my friendlist so I'll add to my friendlist any player (or viewer) and you can delete me from your friendlist afterwards. If you are going to use another account than the one you used to reply in this thread, I need your Battle tag to send a friend request. You can also join a custom game if you have someone in your friendlist that is already in the custom game: this is an other way to join if you don't want to give your Battle tag.

Playing:

  1. Karabars: ranged; Master
  2. Trips: ranged / healer; no rank (low silver)
  3. Aphandra: flex with limitations (but will play Murky perfectly XD); high silver
  4. rcw: support/ healer, ranged; gold 4 (1 time placement)

Maybe:

  1. FaceQuad4: Flex (best role tank/bruiser weakest heal); Mid silver (usually mid to high gold but on a slide atm)

Make me immortal a joined one.

Me is join. Rank: I guess silver according to previous thread’s logic
Role preference: RA or healer (I know like one bruiser and one tank but I don’t consider myself a flex)

Sign me up as Silver flex with limitations.

I’ll play whatever my team asks me to. I trust they’ll check me out and decide appropriately (I understand I should practice Murky :wink: ).

Updated.

I set myself as viewing at the moment but I will play if needed.

I should be available then, so count me in. Same as before only placement i ever got was Gold 4, preferred roled are healer/support (Medivh or Zarya) and ranged assassin.

Same people as last time XD. Hopes there are others this time.

Friday next week. Still not enough players.

Well, it´s still a bit of time. Hopefully some more forum users get interested, it´s quite fun.

I´m playing him exclusively in solo-queue QM and sometimes ARAM, this would probably be an experience for everyone involved :open_mouth:

The main purpose was to bump the thread XD

I wouldn’t mind just forming a party of 5 and joining QM or even UD. I assume we wouldn’t be too coordinated, and with the big spread of players, it wouldn’t be massively imbalanced either (like when I was in Havi’s team, suffering playing against high Diamond).

The way it looks now we’d get something like a Gold match.

It’s kinda weird, we have plenty of activity and most of the time people just rave about forming friendships and parties. I wish some more would chime in why they stay away. Feeling excluded disliked maybe? Not seeing the thread?

Updated. /20 characters

please let someone with a more professional knowledge, balance the teams, based on performance.

Id be up for playing a few qms if we don’t get enough people, which seems likely tbh.

The date and time could be an issue for some people maybe?

@CHFern: what do you mean? The purpose of me deciding is mainly to be the responsible if something goes wrong on the balance (and it will at some point). Also, if you have someone with a professional knowledge for balancing the team, I am all OK to listening to his balance suggestions.

@Trips: does your friend still wants to play?

@FaceQuad4: last time, I asked if the day and hour were OK. I had one answer to that question if I remember correctly.

Doesn’t seem like there is enough interest which is a shame because it looks interesting.

I’ll check back on fri and like I said I’d be up for a few qms or sl if we are similar rank.

If the tourney fails (sad), then we can play my game, the Nexus Raid.

Unfortunately no, he’s swamped with class work lately.

wha?
