Best deathmatch settings

[Heru]

After 30+ hours of playing spelunky deathmatch at school and at home with 3 friends, i've found the most fair settings to be:

Settings:
4 ropes
32 health
4 bombs

Turn off ghosts and those lazer things.
Remove krysknife from drops

0 stages are banned. (custom stages are encouraged)


Explanations:

Ropes can be used to deal damage to people directly above you, or to close the distance to other people. I reccomend 4 because any more makes them spamable, while any less encourage camping in the top right or left corner.

Bombs & Health need to be balanced together. if you throw all 4 bombs at someone instantly they will take inbetween 11-22 damage if mashed. Any slower and you risk the opponent whiping their way out or being blown across the map. The health needs to be about 1.5x the amount of damage (or more) to maintain skillfull usage and not bomb spam.

Ghosts are random and encourage teaming on some poor soul.

Lazers stop alot of problems in the game, such as camping, but allows the whip to be more deadly by zapping people to death who are whiplocked.

Therefor they are both banned.

Items:
Weapons i reccomend banning:
Krysknife, which allows you to kill everyone in one swipe, and you can hold a weapon too!

Weapons that are really good, but i don't reccomend banning:
Machete: hit em once, and they die but it is really slow and people have many chances to stop your bloodspill

Mattock: same as machete but does 1/2 the damage

Shotgun: controlls alot of space and kills anyone who gets hit once due to stun lock, but is hard countered by shield which can reflect its bullets and the shotgun loses vertical battles.

Bomb box: Honestly REALLY good, but certain maps might spawn with barriers inbetween players, breaking the speed of the game while you wait for a mattock. This fixes that problem.

Why do i not remove webgun? 2 reasons: first it counters the 2nd best weapon in the game (bomb box) 2nd it isn't exactly broken, so why remove it?
