Pyro isn't really cool to play if you've people just killing you while you try to run to the basket.

I think games should be 'Soldiers/Detos vs Soldiers/Detos' and 'Pyros vs Pyros'.

And for Pyros vs Pyros matches, I'd place healboxes everywhere to avoid players from killing eachother, and I'd make pyros automatically drop the ball after 2/3/idk seconds because otherwise they can simply run to the basket, jump and score (even though they need quite a long time to do so because the other pyros slow them by airblasting)

Just a simple question, how else do you get the enemy player to drop the ball besides when they drop it using 'drop intel'? I found killing was both great and annoying, but ultimately it disallowed a player to just walk from on end of the map to the other scoring a point. If you give them 'god mode' then there's going to have to be some code to have the player drop the ball one way or another besides 'drop intel'

Well ye,

I'd make pyros automatically drop the ball after 2/3/idk seconds because otherwise they can simply run to the basket, jump and score

And any other classes? Or is the drop after X number of seconds universal?

I suggested this for 'Pyros vs Pyros' matches only in which killing people just makes the game be boring in my opinion, for detos/soldiers matches, "intel auto-drop" wouldn't be needed because here killing isn't a problem. (so, healboxes aren't needed)


But yea YB's idea seems good if you want games with both detos and pyros.
-Pyros' flames would make players drop the intel while not killing them (fixes the killing problem that ruins matches and it also prevents people from being "god mode")
-HP nerf to 60 or so prevents deto from stickyjumping too many times (twice maximum) which is probably a good thing because with 120 hp (4 stickyjumps) they can literally cross the map and score everytime, pyro can't compete with 120 HP deto.

Here's what I planned

 - HP = 70 for every class
 - if HP = 0,drop ball and force reload (can't shoot until the time you'd need to reload your weapon has passed). No death.
 - if HP < maxHp / 2 , speed reduced (linear scale, down to ~85%)
 - if HP < 15, can't grab the ball (unsure about that one)
 - Burn duration will be considerably reduced, because burning players on 0 hp will not be able to do anything for too long otherwise

We also want medics to dunk.
Planned classlimit rates:
  0.3x    0.1x    0.15x    0.08x
