Slaughter... What do you think?

[Atreus]

I think people aren't grasping the full scope of 72 Slaughter, honestly.

The Alpha (a) bots on the 3 exterior Bases are worth 15 Points Each Plus a Team Wide damage buff. Technically, you could abandon mid entirely after the first add (y) and rack up 45 kills worth of points by taking all 3 of the side objectives. iirc the center one is worth about 30 plus a hp/mp buff, so you actually make out better overall prioritizing the side objectives and attempting to take 2.

The problem is co-coordinating your team to do this and the center winds up being a clustered mess of feeding kills to CC/Cometeror combos.

It's actually that lack of cohesive teamwork that makes 24 man slaughter feel so much better as it's there is a lot easier time working with 7 others, than 23 others to work together. Slaughter is objective based. It's just that players do not value the objectives as much as they should. It's a new mode though so it might catch after people become more accustomed to it.

You're right. It's just the "objectives" themselves aren't valuable enough to put value on them, if that makes sense. Yes you can win matches with them, yes they can help, but so does dominion of the top and waiting for the other teams to come back up their pads and crushing them. Death = you lose the buffs they give you anyway. I've seen plenty of matches we won where we didn't get a single one of those alpha nodes. Should the alpha nodes be worth more? Maybe. Should those alpha nodes be up from the beginning of the match to get teams splitting initially? Absolutely.

Go ahead and name-call. You're the one backpedaling out of your own bloody statements lol. Why use Hyrist as a resource? It's second-priority because it IS second priority, doesn't mean they aren't making adjustments based on feedback. Didn't you say we're moving along?
