Selfvolley power reduced to 1500 max in 1.9! Good or Bad?

Surge... truly... that was... the biggest load of bull I've ever heard from you.

tbh i think surge makes a fair point the only thing that needed removing was the boost trick and toning down a little on team boost power!.....

What ever you do David, I'm sure it will be good.

I've been following this topic on and off, so sorry if I've missed something...

Personally I don't wall volley much, I'm actually quite bad at it. (Good at other volleys though - the skillful ones hehe) Hence my game will not suffer if self-volley is nerfed.

Although, when playing 1v1 and 2v2 (two very different, but extremely fun ways to play DeathBall) the self-volley is a useful tool, as often you don't have a teammate. Especially volleys of corners in small maps, and sequenced volleys to build up speed. Please don't ignore this way of DeathBall (1v1 and 2v2)

So, rather than a boolean on or off, it would be best if you set it so that self-volleys get nerfed when a certain number of players are on the server (with the number configurable). So once the set amount of players are on the server (I think 6 would be a good number), self volleys are nerfed, and a msg pops up such as "Self-volley power reduced, teamwork pls n00b's!" or similar with less n00b insulting :p .

Obviously this could be set to 0 to turn nerfing on all the time, and set to 99 to turn nerfing off all the time.

So please give a bit of consideration to those of us who like to play a mix of 1v1, 2v2 up to 5v5 on the same server, where bNerfSelfVolleys=True would destroy the 1v1 and 2v2 game.

Oh, one more thing, will the DBL standard be self-volleys nerfed or normal? I would like to keep the Aussie league as close to DBL standard as possible, but if you put the self-volley nerfing on, I may have to reconsider.

eek, a semi-essay... sorry

Have you been so jaded that you can't take a compliment anymore? ;)

Don't worry, it's not a patch on Surge's literary epics. ^^

Good point and it's one I've thought about with some concern.

I love 2v2 (1v1 can be fun too, with the right person) and lowering selfvolley power would ruin it.
Your idea sounds like a good way of fixing that problem.

For those of you who don't remember, DavidM has Surge on his ignore list. So when he said:

He was saying that if it sparked such reactions as ours, Surge's "literary epic" must have been full of irony.
Just clearing that one up for everyone.
