Beta Shop Menu Balance Released

[brett friggin favre]

why? a single player joining can immediately swing games, even when they're that far "behind". say spasm, or wolf join that losing team. no. people that join should start at 0 discount, and work their way up depending on their performance.

Well not everyone's spasm or wolf. Those guys will win 3-4 rounds (keep in mind they only start with $800) and the discount will go away because of individual wins, but the vast majority of the players will join, be on a losing team, and continue to lose and again, starting with $800, will need all the help they can get to try to turn it around.

also, this isn't league of legends or NS2. an early lead can't snowball as much as you seem to be thinking. after about 2-3 rounds, money will be fairly even if the losing team is at all smart with their buys.
