Its a different story when regular c/t is just the upper left and right corners. When you've practiced it enough to do it from every corner. Then yes it is a problem. Yes it henders me from countering. Can i counter? Yes. But you find it so entertaining to do it from all corners AND use decoy thatit forces me to a: be defensive and let you come to me or b: i force myself upon you, where yet again you spam that decoy and c/t. I love to dance, if you dont know what that is, this ladder isnt for you. Everyone here can back me up on that. This field of dueling is the hardest of all ladders. And using cheap exploits which you claim are tactics, to win rids everyone of all their hard work from practice.
Cusston is by far the best dueler on this ladder. And when you walts up in here, knock him off first try!? There is so.mething wrong and it is now quite obvious
The above bolded is exactly the problem
A: Player 1 is being incredibly defensive, setting up Decoys and waiting for opportune moments to use C/T (being very careful to not engage unless this situation is primed properly)
Which in turn causes Player 2 or forces Player 2 rather, to also play extremely defensively in the exact same maner, which in turn = stalemate
This turns in to ~>
B: One of the players eventually realizes how ridiculous it is that a single round is taking 20+ minutes to complete and decides to launch an offense
9 out of 10 times, this is the player that will lose the ZvZ match up, which is unfortunate seeing as how this is usually the more experienced player who is trying to keep things on a reasonable time frame ^^
The intentions of a competative ladder such as this, is to be rewarded rank through skill and avarice, not (because you have more time on your hands for over defensing)
C/T doesn't need to be banned, it's not bad to deal with without the Decoy
It's Decoy that needs to be banned
C/Ting while hiding behind the Decoy just plain discourages all offensive strategies from both parties, which = 60+ minute ft5 matches (if both players are really trying to win)
It just needs to stop,
Decoy needs to be bannedAbout Valks: They can't be exploited like Decoys due to recast timer and they don't stand directly in front of you 100% of the time
I have no beef with valks at all
