Deflect

Post by Rino »

Ok... to be honest, i'm fine with 2.0 and i think it's great...
ye it's bugged but they will fix it... yes skins are not so good but they will add many customizable things...
There is only 1 thing i disagree, and i say this against my sweeper position too... Couse with that kind of deflect is much easier to defend...
So the poll is

It's perfect.

Edit: It's perfect outside the box, inside not so much.

deflect gives D 100% advantage and completely screws O right in the ass.
to keep everyone from running around holding down right click all the time, take it out or tone in down.
pretty soon, ppl are just gonna bind asdf to right click so they dont have to worry about holding it down all the time.

The things I hate about current deflect

1. I.e I stop a shot from an attacker (lets just say its 2 vs 1, cause it mostly is). The shots gets blocked, deflected and lands right in the volley radius of the other attacker (yes, it does happen!). He can either: 1. Pick it run, run to goal and shoot (cause im still at other attacker) 2. Volley it (cause im still at other attacker).

That is what annoys me. Also I don't get why people say it gives 100 % advantage to defenders, thats such bullshit. I'd love to catch it imo and make sure I know where it goes instead of that it randomly bounces to any direction. Hell, I've seen people shoot, hit a guy, and the ball deflects in own goal.

I have no current problems with the deflect tho, I take it as it as and will not moan (well, only this one :D)

As for freshfruit, it doesn't screws them in the ass, learn to aim properly as fro said and you won't hit anybody.

Like most additions to long standing games, the new deflect system has been greeted with a lot of hostility. People say that it makes attacking harder, there was never really a problem with people scoring enough goals was there?

I think it's better really, it was stupid being able to mostly shoot right through defenders. It also encourages people to pass more instead of going right for goal if they are blocked. But as Rage said, the ball often deflects into the path of another attacker, so overall the change hasn't impacted the balance of the game.

So; quit complaining and get used to it!

I think the deflect strength might be a little too strong (a deflected pass flying up into the sky and then the ball gets reset), but otherwise I think it's fine. It's certainly not as random as it was when first introduced...

Oh yeah, sometimes it's a bit glitchy - like when the ball is in a group of people and it gets deflected about 5 times even though it's traveling at about 2 CM/s. Other than that, deflect it A-OK!
