Lopsided Team Games

[timthenavigator]

Concise description:
Instead of normal even team games, have lopsided options.

Specifics:
Have the option to set up a team game of
2 vs 3, or
2 vs 2 vs 3
3 vs 3 vs 2
3 vs 4
1 vs 2
2 vs 4
2 vs 4 vs 2
1 vs 1 vs 2

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
1) Options. People love them. A lot.
2) People talk a good game, why not have them be able to back it up?
3) A different type of strategy for those wanting something beside the normal team games.

Guess that's it. Tear down/build up this idea anyway you want.

Definitely not.

Firstly, you will soon learn that is is pretty much impossible to win that if your opponents half-know what they are doing.
Secondly, go farming! Yeah, now the teams are not only unequal in skill, but also in numbers! that 98% win rate just jumped to 100%

On the face of it, that's not a good idea. But I'm thinking, what if the players on the smaller team had extra territory to compensate? This will be a nightmare to balance out adequately in game initialisation so I think this suggestion will not get far.

It would be a good way to lure farming victims to an "easy win"


although it seeing that happen WOULD be a bit comical..but still

no

Sorry, but things just don't work that way. I might not have played a myriad of team games, but I know that once you kill someone (even if they start with a bonus), you are pretty much set.

The main purpose was to set up a more difficult challenge for players to think outside the box...and if you have 2 on 2 on 3, it might even things out a bit more, or a 2 on 2 on 4

I had not thought about farming though, and the truth in that saddens me.
