1.8 Deflection/bounce - Yes or No?
Moderators: Jay2k1, DavidM, The_One
I can understand why deflections were implemented. In theory it's helps give more realism to the interaction between the ball and players.
However in practice, I think it introduces an almost random element since nobody is sure where the ball will end up. This in turn leads to even more dead-ball chasing.
In the long run it will spoil the flow of the game, especially if it is left as it is at the moment. Tweaking is definitely required.
I think if the ball does bounce off the player, the player should be given a little control as to where it bounces. I suggest the direction in which the player is facing. Also the bounce power should be very low, eg 20% of the ball speed when it struck the player. This is so that there are no wild bounces that cause lots of ball chasing.

the poll question is poorly worded.
i cannot answer yes because i dislike the IMPLEMENTATION of the feature, nevertheless i would welcome deflection if the implementation was sound.

X_X Like u cant live without that.
Any normal keep has less than a 10% chance for that ball to be deflected or caught by you.
Altho maybe with higher radius for the deflection.. O_o
Shouldnt it be so that the deflection radius is gone for a shot from the keeper, while the ball is in the pzone? (So it cant be deflected, or at least not with the bigger radius, unless it gets out of the pzone within 0.2 secs, which is impossible
).
Also just another thing which is irrelevant but i have to say ^^;
Y doesnt the counter for ball reset because of ballcarrier camping in the pzone, restart after the other team has gained possession?
It's rather stupid if a keeper shoots the ball away just before ball reset, some1 (doesnt matter where on the field) catches the ball and goes for a shot immediately, keeper catches it and the counter immediately continues where it was, resetting the ball immediately O_o
Meh happened on a pub, just thought i'd say :p
edit: it wasnt a naked keeper
maybe that was the problem

This only happens when the other team volleys the ball back to the keeper/penalty area. Never happens when they catch it.
