New Stat: Score

What if MCBall introduced a new statistic called Score to a player's stats. It would replace K/D since it would be a combination of flag captures and K/D. So the way "Score" is created, is by combining K/D and FC/G. FC/G is Flag Captures to Games ratio.

For example, I have a 1.35 K/D. I have a .32 FC/G ratio. If I add them together, then I get a 1.67 Score. I would be a gold helmet.

I think adding this stat could really get players capturing flags more often, and playing the game. The amount of camping on MCBall is ridiculous, and the reason they are doing it is to get their K/D up, aka rank up their helmet. If this stat was introduced, there wouldn't be much of a need for camping, since FC/G would also rank up your helmet.

P.S. If staff decide to add this to MCBall, I would recommend introducing it at the stat reset, Just so people don't get mad for some reason about the score aka K/D change.

I would like to see it added, but keep K/D. I also don't think the K/D and Flag K/D should be combined for a persons helmet, they should be separate stats. Maybe camping will become more of a problem when there is more people on the server but right now I think most people are playing ctf and capturing, or at least trying to capture the flag. I think only a couple maps promote camping, like Bedroom and maybe Wildwest.

And idea like this was introduced by me and someone else before, but adding them together is new :o I really like this and do think it could work perfectly for MCBall and balance out the game with more flag caps!

Welp I just did mine and my FC/G ratio is 0.20, so 2.13..., newer players would prob have a better score than older players (if they cap)

That's why it would be introduced at the stat reset so you don't have to worry. You can start capturing at the stat reset.

This creates an incentive for people to actually cap the flag, instead of spawn camping for kills. I feel like if the value of flag captures is increased with this, and could get increased more by having ranks, based on who captures the flag the most. So maybe people who aren't the greatest killers, but have great movement mechanics to capture the flag can actually get recognized this way. I think this is a great idea and could work very well since the game is capture the flag.

I feel like teammates would almost be 'fighting' over the flags, for example using magician kit to pig said teammate and therefore, allowing the opposing team to catch up and kill the flag carrier. Also, this may also lead to more spawncamping, if people are just waiting at the base for the flag to be reset. I like the basic idea, but I think there are a couple flaws.

This would be abused so easily by going online when the sever is empty and repeatedly capturing the flag. This is a good idea but how it will be applied needs to be thought out.
This is why there could also be a limit to how many people are on for it to actually register. I'd put a limit that there have to be at least 8 or so people on for it to register, that way people cannot farm it. I know some people do not have the decency to be honest, but if I am the only one on and this 8 person limit rule was not introduced, I would not continuously flag cap cause I know that I am appearing to be at a level that I am not. I would want to see my true skill, not some bs by me capping the flag 3 times every game.

That's why griefing is bannable.

Sorry for the double post, but yeah snat, I agree. Except I would say 4 people instead of 8 since MCBall is still pretty small.
