So i just realised the way people play this ladder is fucked up. what happened to using the bow like a rod and trying to get combos? All I see is people jump Crit block hitting and getting one hit, how is this fun? the person who can get 1/2 double hits wins. when I get over 1400 ill be leaving the ladder for a whilePosted on 20 March 2016 - 05:30 PM

the bow is the only thing kinda keeping it ok imo. it allows for you to back off when you are low or finish fights

It's based off the OCN diamond kit. On OCN, even with full diamond, people mostly use bows.
Edit: The vanilla thing was just a glitch. I still stand by everyting else I said.

Because people don't know how to use the bow for combos or just can't use a bow in general. However the bow is kind of broken in 1.9 as of right now.Posted on 20 March 2016 - 11:30 PM
My question to you is, what did you want to change in diamond kit?Posted on 21 March 2016 - 12:39 AM
Remove all proj prot because then bow will be worth using and it wont be the shittiest ladderPosted on 21 March 2016 - 03:11 AM

What sucks is that when you win people will run away till they're full health again. The person who cares the most about their elo wins.Posted on 21 March 2016 - 06:11 AM
The whole point of kit diamond is to emulate an OCN situation, where bows are and were used quite frequently. Just because the kit might be played a little differently, it isn't necessarily "bad" or "wrong".What about strategy? Skill in w-tapping? Timing your blockhits? Using your bow to an advantage? There's a lot more to the kit (and any kit for that matter) than you'd expect. I'll admit though, that it can be a frustrating gamemode to grind… :pp
I feel like removing the bow would entirely destroy the point of kit diamond, and would increase the number of jump-critters etc.
Besides, how would you resolve the issue? It isn't like you can force people to play differently.

Im acctually fully in favour of the bow, as i said its the only thing keeping the ladder good.

I don't think many people share my opinion, but I'd be really happy to see the Diamond ladder switched to an all-melee ladder, basically. Kind of like the Legacy kit we had a little while back. I really enjoyed that kit, because it gave me such good practice in just plain sword combat.
