My opinion on this current "New bans debacle"



In order to keep a game fresh and not let it get stale, you need to change things up. Can we all agree to this? Otherwise you're gonna see the same outcomes, and same boring games in terms of viewing because its the same exact thing you've watched for x amount of months. IMO this would speed the game up as well and be way less reliant on nades (since its becoming heavily reliant on them now) Also we can't change maps/game types because those are very limited for competitive play.



Lets take a look at the current rules. http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/77#event_176_game-types-settings-and-restrictions



My opinion:



Restrict:



Lethal +1 -

Tactical +1 - (Smoke & Trophy only) Basically this would be an IW update thing to the esports rules only. Treyarch did the same thing in Black Ops 2. When you selected +1 Tactical it wouldn't apply to smokes. 2x Stun should still remain.



Now to balance this out there is a few options:



Un-Restrict: Danger Close AND Restrict trophies.



OR



Restrict: Blast Shield BUT Leave Trophy systems in, since there is only 1 allowed (assuming +1 Tactical is banned)



////////



I am in favor of restricting blast shield and leaving 1 trophy in instead of bringing back danger close or removing trophies completely. 1 trophy can easily be shot and destroyed so ppl would be less reliant on them. Also, not having Blast or Trophys would make SnD a nightmare. & because nades would then be extremely more useful and tactile (IN ALL GAME MODES including SnD). Danger close is 4 points, and probably wouldn't be used much which means it would be impossible to nade someone off assuming they have Blast Shield.



So recap:



Ban- 2x Lethal, 2x Tactical (Smoke & Trophy only) then either ban Blast shield or Trophy Systems and unban Danger Close.



& Leave everything else as-is!



Regardless, this is just more of an annoyance playing with, and stale in terms of viewing it.



Since it is so late into the game with events coming up very soon, this probably wont happen (even if it was highly favored) til post-Anaheim.



Mightve made a few grammar mistakes or contradictions but I typed quick so don't critique :)



And no, double grenades will not be our demise! (lol)



Let me know what you think! :)
