Two Reasons Why I am Against Adding Ranked Combo.
Reason A - It defeats the purpose of badlion and unbalances global ELO

The combo ladder uses a modified gapple kit. This kit contains a sharpness sword and unbreaking armor. Both of these make it so the durability is highly randomized. Now you may be thinking this is an attack on the gapple kit but I will explain exactly what makes combo different and less skill based. In combo, all hit delay is removed so a single long combo can change the whole fight. A single combo which is initiated mostly based on who can attack first, which is mostly determined by ping and click speed. Of course aim does play a factor but you don't have to hold the aim for nearly as long as you do in other ladders to get multiple times the effect. Adding ranked combo will unbalance global ELO from skill to more of luck. Badlion is supposed to be a server that is based upon ranking the skill of players and this will utterly defeat it.


Reason B - GCheat is partially disabled: Leaderboard of Cheaters

Now even if you were able to completely dismiss the reasons above as ad hoc or inapplicable to this situation. The whole concept is still plagued with the issue of GCheat being partially disabled in the ladder. This means that ghost client users will be able to climb insanely high on the LBs without getting banned. Yes the obvious hackers will but the ghost client users will never be caught. Do we really want a leaderboard full of cheaters?

I don't like it because combo is so reliant on cps. You can make the argument that NDB, GApple, and Kohi rely on cps as well, but nowhere to the same affect. I can get decent elo in pot ladders, but I am 100% sure that I will be an 1100 on combo, because I only get 3 cps.

That's why I like kits that are with a lot of actual healing item cuz even if you fucked up once , you could recover rather easily.

I agree autoclickers would definitely be used most of the time, +1

Finally somebody who understands. http://strawpoll.me/6711911/r so far yes is winning probably because of all the people going "oh it's a fun kit " and they don't think about the practicality of it being ranked.
