Improving Round Diversity

almost 10 years

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.

I could ship this

It's like when you have hiccups and you see something absolutely atrocious and it goes away

do the same thing with setups and admin justrec. EpicMafia's hiccup will go away

It would only be the 15 setups that are comped regularly, and once a new one is comped we judt put it in a tier

What about this: tier the setups. Make a tier list for each type of setup (scumhunting, beginner, guns, troll, etc) and place each setup in a tier. Then say how often each tier is allowed to be comped. For instance: jan could be beginner and beginner setups can be comped every 3 or 4 rounds, while a and d is a gun setup and can only be comped every 5 or 6, as judged by the mods and or community

reminds me, where is the point farm setup for the down time?

Speaking of how bad pointfarming is, shall we farm you to 1.5k, Rondie?

Let's sort 1 million setups.

No thank you.

i think this idea works on paper, but does anyone actually like the off-rounds where no good setups are comped?

This is where mods come in. They decide whether or not the setups of these "off-rounds" are compable and how well they'll fit into the round. After all, the site needs to evolve and new setups is a must imo.

Honestly, giving the mods final say on this sort of stuff never really worked out too well.

Hmm, then perhaps a thread for these "off-rounds" in which a community opinion is displayed would suffice.

not even that. special rounds are doomed to fail.

=[

Every 5 rounds, allow NO setups to be comped, and instead give the trophies to the people who can get the most violations without being banned in 10 days. Extra points for vios with longer expiration dates.

A real test of tactical nous, intelligence, and charisma.

How about point farm setups?
