Hey, so I've been here for a while, and I realize that if I wanted to bring up a point or two about something that seems unfair, or even tentatively unbalanced, doing it on the forums is the way to go. That being said, I have come to the conclusion that the scramble system is unfair, as well as the conclusion that certain rules and guidelines regarding the scramble system only make it more so. Now, this isn't going to all be about the inequity proposed by the scramble system and it's flaws. With all of this, I'm coming to accept the fact that team scrambles are better than nothing, and it's as good as it's going to get possibly for a long time coming. This is more so in regards to the rules and restrictions on scrambles (Being when they can happen, how they happen etc). If you've been around a while, you know that scrambles happen, and that they, more or less, manage to at least do nothing or something positive for the long-run of the match. The flaws are obvious too, however, the largest one being that scrambles aren't allowed to happen for the finale of the game, nor are they allowed to happen in the middle of the game as well. Both of these restrictions put heavy consequences on the ability for the player to have fun. The rule regarding scrambles not being allowed on the finale of a map is very confusing. I understand that the point it is that the game is almost over, and that by the time a finale comes around, no scramble really seems like it would give the other team a chance at winning. But this is irrelevant. In a match that is heavily-one sided, the finale is just a barrier to getting onto the next map, and hopefully, a more fair gaming experience. Why waste the players' time then? Why have a group of players just sit around and wait for the finale to end so they can get on with more entertaining means of playing the game? I understand very well that if they don't like it, there is always the other server to go to, but that just puts the people who are staying at even more of a disadvantage. If there is a chance that in a match, we could promote entertainment and fun, shouldn't we be doing that? Should we realize that it would be more advantageous for the happiness of the players to give them a finale that won't bore them to death, but actually make it so they won't want to just leave? Regarding mid-match scrambles, it's just unreasonable that these aren't allowed to happen. If a game is very obviously stacked, and the scores are very close together still, wouldn't it be logical to scramble right then in order to make the future of the game a more equal one? I'm just a little dumbfounded by the fact that this isn't a used practice, and instead, admins simply wait for the round to end, letting the scores drift farther and farther apart from each other. Despite reasoning given to me for this, none of it makes any sense at all to me. Why let the game get more unfair than it needs to be? I'm still looking for answers to these questions, and as of yet, all that people have been able to get to me has been a load of crap that simply explains it off as "That's just how the server works." Thank you for reading this if you did. And I'd like to hear about what you think, or about any over-sight or under-sight that you think I have in regards to the issue.
