**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event
**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

Timeouts in BGs should give ZERO points for remaining health

That should fix, at least, the "pause" trick

    And I say that because I don't think that pausing the game is cheating, but it is truly annoying to realize that you lost a match because other people didn't risk losing more health than you

    Idk its a tough problem to solve cus if I die in my fight and get my defender down to 25% go and my opponent lives and gets their opponent to 30% hp do I really deserve to win the round?

    Ok... I can see your point... than they could take away points of the remaining health based on the time of your fight... if you only played 20 sec... you lose a % based on the 100 that the game was paused

    Yeah, just use DOT champs or ability accuracy modification champs. Human torch, crossbones, galan, AA, tigra, QS, etc.
    I can list off a bunch more champs if you'd like
    Crossbones is useless.

    Who tf would say xbones is useless. People who haven't played GC this week think you can't win matches without specials and it shows

    Ok so I get NF down to his LMD he regens back to 100. I get him BACK down to 1% health just as the timer ticks down to zero.
    I am still above 20% health myself. You died but got my defender to 15% health in 60 seconds. According to you since I went to 0:00 I should lose?

    Instead introduce pause duration. You pause the game your scores goes less

    No because they are talking about timing out via pause button

    Why it doesn't cut HP in half, like literally every other mode with a timer, makes no sense to me.

    No galan could work. Harvest then sp2 for 9 incinerates. It does actually deal a decent chunk to those defenders and somehow I knew you all would come at me for having a reasonable argument.

    Say, does the harvest deal a nice burst of damage?

    pauses are sometimes necessary. I can't tell you how many times my cat just jumped on me, and I needed a few seconds to reset.

    That said, the pause trick isn't great for the integrity of the mode / there should be something like a 10 second countdown / reconnect to the game / limit of 1-2 pauses.

    that said... its a "feature" of the game mode, and until something changes... its something I expect my opponent and therefore myself to take advantage of / is fair game.

    Also... until the scoring doesn't make pausing a strategy, I would rather make the strategy better for both players.
    Bringing back the "quit button" in the fight... at least until this is resolved. Player A pauses... and I don't feel bad that they have to wait it out... but their opponent also now has to wait unnecessarily. Why not add a quit button to keep things moving along / retain the same score as if you just "paused it out"?

    lmao this guy. Are you still in VT?
    No I'm in glad circuit but I didn't do many matches of this meta so I don't lose points. And my b on the galan I forgot about polka dot power.
    But regardless why is it so hard to score more than 15k points? Even without a good counter just doing basic hits you'll do more than a quarter of their health
    You're going to be criting causing rage and unblockable. This means one slip up and you're dead. It's unforgiving. And consider that many specials are multi hit which if not perfectly evaded , is death. I'm not a jerk but you were putting down others for not getting 15k which is very easy to in this meta

    since you havent played a "lot" of matches, let me school you. The meta includes many hard to dodge specials, or many aura effects that one shot you when your opponent gets 5 rage stacks.
    people take the easy way out and timeout instead.

    5-10 basic hits from Galan and the defender will be unblockable with 5 furies and most likely at their SP1

    No cause rage, I know some things jerk
    Just to drive the point, modders only get 45k -40k points instead of the usual 55k-50k because they know even with perfect play your score will be very low.

    My solution: Deduct points from total for every second paused.
