https://www.badlion.net/match/kitpvp/1015628He waits out my buffs by hiting himself with his punch bow and then kills me. I don't see the point of this besides him being a dick and ruining the game for others. In result of this I got a massive elo drop. This has been going on for months and it should have been bannable by now, otherwise why the fuck isn't it.
(Note these are Scolded's words not me, I'm just remaking this because I too, feel this should be bannable or at least kickable from a match).

It's a strategy.If you've a problem with it so often as you guys are making us out to believe, brings a P2 bow with you, too.

EVERYONE has a problem with this, it not only makes your pots wear off but it makes your experience on the server less fun and makes the playerbase look like monkeys. I will not waste an insta health for a bow that I will not even use until I fight one of these annoying people which is a 1 in 100 chance, but when I do my elo will get wasted. (and I know nobody else will).Posted on 18 June 2014 - 04:27 AM

Last season I got to the high 1900's on an alt using this technique to prove a point. It not only takes the fun out of the game, for the opponent and the person running off the buffs, but it also makes badlion look bad to new players. The only logical reason I can see people doing this is to either A) Piss off/lower the elo of specific opponents or B) Achieve a high elo themselves. You need to remember that people just joining badlion only have 10 ranked matches, and if even one of them was wasted due to a camper I wouldn't be interested in playing here any longer. It's a major turn off and shouldn't be allowed. People say "just bring a bow" but when your opponent is running away from you the whole fight, bowing them away doesn't help you, it just makes it harder. If you attempt to bow yourself it just damages your armor and leads to a faster demise. Also, if you consider it a "vanilla" ladder, it is meant to simulate vanilla pvp, that's why the emerald mine is still there. If that is the case, and you are 1v1ing someone in a vanilla pvp situation, no one would bring a bow to do damage, they would bring a bow to keep the opponent away, but if it is a 1v1 you are still there to fight. Running away shouldn't be an option, end of story.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 04:48 AM
This really needs to be taken away. I think that if the playerbase makes a big enough deal, then no one likes it, except for the people who do it. This isn't cool.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 07:06 AM
lol just use /spawn like i do, who gives a rats patootie about elo. Then violently trash talk them within the limits of the chat rules.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 07:07 AM
Then why have an elo system if everyone will /spawn when fighting these people.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 07:56 AM
Please go find me a sever that requires u not to carry a bow on you.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 03:31 PM
I got this account to 1900 camping, how high do I have to get it before camping is bannable? I've already dropped Mycroz/Scolded and several other players with this method. It's not fair. It's not strategy or skill. It's nonsense.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 05:09 PM

This is the exact line from all the admins that annoy me. MasterG, you don't fight campers very often, but when you do your elo gets smacked. So think of this, why would I waste 2 instant health slots on a bow, when they are generally useless in that semi-rare situation. MasterG, some fights matter to the very last 2 pots, so why would I waste them on a bow when you could just take it out because 95% of the non-staff community wants it. The other 5% are campers themselves. I wouldn't even call it a strategy, people only do it to piss off the other opponent or to be elo thirsty. Try to find a non-camping person above 1700s that isn't staff to want camping allowed.

Also MasterGBerry, we aren't asking for bows to be taken out, just make camping disallowed, and if someone does it you can record it and tempban.

Tl;dr aside from the first 2 sentences. Me and Gberry have fought campers in 2v2s previously. The first time we lost. After that we decided to bring a bow, and guess who won?

His point is viprite why sacrifice 2 inv slots when you're only going to use the bow once in a blue moon against a camper. Not the actual effectiveness of the bow in vanquishing the campers.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 07:35 PM

They can actually find a use for the bow.
This mainly only can happen in Vanilla, too. It's part of Vanilla.. I don't like it, but I wouldn't ban for it. Maybe just take out Punch on bows in Vanilla.

this thread is not about bows ffs,i can camp without using a bow,i can just pearl ontop of a cliff and keep knocking my enemy using a knockback 2 sword untill his buffs runs out,if he decides not to repot,ill chase him,then pearl back up after he does repot.Posted on 18 June 2014 - 10:51 PM
^^^^^^^Legit strategy? In the end they will end up with all their buffs, all their insta's, and their armor not broken while you are a broken mess with absolutely nothing and they will beat you so easily it won't even take skill.
