Melee and BvB are two very different leagues. I understand and appreciate his effort on running the ladder.
But that doesn't mean he can change the rules ignoring many barbs who were presented at 'barb vs barb' 90% of the time.
We are complaining since those voters (including Tier1) almost never shows up in the 'barb vs barb' room and decided to change the rules.
Initiating the vote acknowledging many bvb barbs are not in the discord channel just seems to be very ignorant act.
Joining discord shouldn't be mandatory. If you want to initiate the vote, why wouldn't you do it on jsp?
I understand your perspective. My rebuttal is that you and Garen and the other barbs have been invited to the Discord multiple times.
I invited you to this Discord on Discord. Which means I know you have Discord and just don't want to join the server that hosts the community you are actively dueling in. I personally don't understand the reasoning for this, as it leads to situations like this where there are decisions being made and you are purposefully excluding yourself from having a voice in those decisions. Meanwhile, Garen told us that he is too "casual" of a player to join discord, and I'm not going to get into this because I don't think he is just a "casual" gamer.
My other rebuttal is that I've heard that some of the bvb players that are adamantly against the cold unban are just as inactive as Tier is.
While it's been acknowledged that many bvb players aren't in the discord to vote, it's because they're refusing to come in, not because they are being excluded on purpose.
You cannot initiate a vote on jsp, we tried this before with a different gm melee matter and the vote was sabotaged because anyone who has the link can vote. Discord is the most effective and convenient place to settle these matters - you can control who votes and who doesnt (this is why Discord is the most actively used platform for gaming communities).
Adding: to my knowledge, there is
one BVB player who has a cold damage weapon & its on ladder so it cannot be used yet. I know of no others who are trying to sell or planning to sell barb weapons with cold damage on it.
