Sunday Community Skirmish: New optional blind pick mode
GurasOguras:
So that means we rarely see them today. Basically I fell like they don't even exist. Maybe it's my countering experience but i never really felt too bad about opponents ships. Im glad it ended up like this. Current model is fine.

If you feel like they don't exist, then they don't do anything positive for SCS, correct? On the other hand, they do have a negative aspect of bloating the ruleset, as well as potentially turning teams away from SCS. If this rule is really used so rarely that you can feel like it doesn't exist, why should it stay as a part of SCS? The Blind Pick aspect of SCS is really rather unnecessary, just get rid of it; simplify the ruleset and avoid turning people away from SCS.

I could see myself bringing a full Hydra team back to scs, but we hate the dance and we hate countering, so having blind picks off the bat would be a draw for me.

Counterpicking is incredibly annoying. Any lobby that I've been a part of is worse for it. I'd prefer blind picks off the bat. Not sure how much my vote counts, as I've never SCSed, but I hate that aspect of the game.

I also hate that aspect of the game where a significantly worse team outplays you in blindpicks rather than the actual game. Blindpicks arent just a anti counterpick measure, it's also a "lets make this interesting by making it unfair for teams" card. And in my honest opinion, not related to my competitive presence- Teams come first. SCS was made to allow teams a reliable place to scrim in and to act as a filler between big tournaments, it wasnt meant to be a chicken fight for the community, and Id rather have the game ruined for watchers and players every once a while by counters than blindpick every 2 rounds and ruin it for the teams.
