first FFA with my new LLD

Spendt a fortune on it, felt really confident, strong build and everything... now i know for next time i just get a few cast on death gems since there is no respawn time/death punishment.. SERIOUSLY???? the little things guys, the little things.

hahaha, how obvious was this one. A simple way to shutdown cast on death wouldbe that no kills are awarded after your death. Simple fix.

That's obviously not gonna stop people for trolling but hey at least they won't win.

Don't let FFAs be the basis of your LLD experience, try the horrendously long but otherwise ok swiss or the even better blitz.

COD isn't only broken in FFA. It's also broken in 1v1. If you die to a COD you get a round draw. By definition it makes no sense, but...

It is important to not completely destroy builds. CoD needs to continue to work after death because otherwise it will hurt build variety in 3v3s (in the future).

The real solution is: Add a respawn timer of 20 sec on suicides. Alternatively a respawn timer of 3 secs for everyone would be good too because it would boost players who get multiple kills while alive.

I think it'd be a hard argument to make that there's a place for COD in PVP, at any level. As in D2, the fact that you can die and kill opponents on trigger is an asinine aspect of the current system; especially in 1v1, where a COD negates their death resulting in a draw. bad pvp

Respawn timers are boring, and that hurts everyone. Just make kills that you get AFTER DYING (lol) not count! Then people can still have fun being trolls with CoD, but not win the event with it.

Drawing 1v1 matches with CoD is obviously bullshit too. I don't even understand how the game can decide to call this a draw, but it shouldn't.

last time I fought a cod build I got the point every time because I killed him first and died second. Does this result in a draw if he uses arc only?

You can make hybrid caster/lightning bow, CoD characters as well, which is a legit strategy I think for 3v3/CTF. Use CoD as a secondary skill to take out your opponent(s), if they are not careful enough.

It adds a different meta. It makes the matches more strategic, so opponents can't just barrel through and kill willy nilly.

My opinion on how to fix CoD for pvp;

1. If an opponent dies from CoD, the CoD'er always dies second, leaving no draws. This is how it used to be before patch 1.3.

2. In FFA events a; kills - killed scoring system is used instead of total kills. If this isn't a strong enough measure then...

3. All kills after a CoD event results in no kills awarded.

I don't think the solution is to just nerf CoD damage. It would basically make CoD useless in all instances of the game.
