Alright so the 'banning guns' thread gave me an idea and I'd like to make a separate thread outlinining my thoughts and see if it's something the competitive community would be interested in pursuing.
Current System
A setup can only be comped once every 3 rounds
Variants are at mod discretion on a case-by-case basis
Proposed Changes
A setup can only be comped once every 5 rounds
Established variants kept on a running list (that will be public); new variants looked at by mods on a case-by-case basis
Goals
Improve diversity: This would mean that you'd only see certain setups at minimum every 50 days or 2 months or so (assuming ~10 day rounds). At minimum, you would see 30 different setups before seeing the same one comped again, allowing for a greater variety of setups to get exposure and giving people an opportunity to run on setups they like that may be less popular.
Tighten up what constitutes as a variant: makes things more objective and less on what the current admin/mod team thinks. This way there won't be as much debate over what is a variant or not the day of the round, it'll be pre-established and known, so people will know what they can and cannot comp
Please discuss. I'd also like to hear what the current mods think of this since they're the ones who will be enforcing this.
has keri thirsted after peter yet because if not i'm gonna write her some instructions, such as going into sandbox and telling people you're suicidal so he thinks he has plausible cover for when he hits on you incessantly
but yeah anyway re: topic at hand, you've gotta realize that the crowd who wants new and interesting setups is a vast vocal minority to the people that just want to play things they're comfortable with. the best way to bridge that gap isn't to force the majority to play setups they're uncomfortable with, it's to make them comfortable with more setups. think about how many times you've played, like, red heart LOBL, and at least 2 of the people that showed up complained about the setup being too hard because the guide was so vague
