Heat seeker game mode Needs a change!!

[CyberDNA]

I have been enjoying the game mode heat seeker and honestly I think it should be added to the core extra game modes list. its extremely fun. There is one down side to this mode which I think is absolutely annoying. Non-skilled players who cant defend the goal will constantly harass you and ram/destroy you in order to get a easy score. I feel that allowing that in this game mode is defeating the purpose of using defensive skills to win. Can the dev team please add in a half circle goal barrier on each goal with enough space for goal protect from opposing teams entering the goal?? I feel that would make this mode funner to play with less toxic unskilled behavior happening.

Sounds like you’re not skilled enough to dodge a demo n sounds like demos are a viable tactic

You are the type of guy who would find a challenge in brushing his teeth like speedrunning it or doing it with glue. A game is supposed to be fun. Ppl play this game to hit a ball and not to dodge some maniac.

What crap are you talking lol. No, I’m just not a little whining kid who can’t deal with demos. It’s a part of the game, learn to deal with it!! Unfortunately, for some people demoing kids n triggering them is fun. It’s their game they will play as they please. Again, learn to dodge or deal with it, simple.

Im not too worried about the demos but there is another tactic ppl tend to use and that is leaving the servers... which to be honest is way more superior because you end up playing unfair and boring matches if you stay on the server after several players left. You can't really do anything about that but since you don't get a penalty its a viable option to do I guess.

I agree it can be annoying, but to be honest if you get 2 teams that are semi-decent, it'll mostly become volleyball. Fun at first, but tedious when it's just the ball going at max speed for 2 minutes. A demo man forces me to be in the air most of the time, and I kind of like that. But again, after a few seconds of that, you learn how the guy tries to demo and dodge it easy with quick recovery.

I find that the better tactic is when the demo man is good at aerials. A quick redirect in front of the opposing net can be an easy goal or at the very least, a good fake.

I don't really get it why people get so damn mad because of demos. It's a mechanic that has been added to the game to be used. If you can't dodge a demo, maybe you're not that good at defending. Good defense is the best offense, dodge that ramming guy and slam the ball into the net. I switch from defending to demoing all the time because just sitting at the goal is so boring.

Point is, if it works, why not do it? Just learn to play against it and you'll be fine.

you only have to dodge the demo guy like 5 times then he will give up.

1. you jump, he goes below you
2. you jump again, he goes below you
3. demo guy learned that you jump, so 3rd time you stay on ground, he will jump over you
4. demo guy is unsure what he needs to do, so you dodge him with a side roll.
5 demo guy will try once more, thinking you will roll to the other side, so you just jump

demo guy get's pissed because he can't hit you and is going after someone else, and once a while he tries you again so you only have to jump.

Demo's are very effective, had a few times where i needed to choose between dodging or defending, defending would mean i blow up, so i gave him that one. if you can hit the ball then blow up, there is no problem at all, team mate can fill in the gap for the rebounce..

Those points only apply to an aggressive demo guy. Its a lot more effective
If you sit at the back of the opponents net and bump them out whenever they get in position to make a save. Since you're right at the back with ballcam on and you never need to go for the ball. It's easy to dodge anyone that tries to demo you out of their net. Even if they do try you still succeeded in taking them out of play. Note I do this myself only if one of theirs is out demoing people. It's quite effective.

people demo first time OK
2nd time leave

I always demo in heatseeker. Because honestly. How stupid are you to let someone in your net area getting redirects ? And why would you let a camper goalie alive when.both your mates are behind and you can get redirects there too ? If it comes to ranked, expect it to be the real strategy to win :} don't let me time to demo you and I will be forced to pkay differently. This is really simple. I now can blame you for playing heatseeker so passively.

Making it 2v2 and disabling replays would refine it enough for me. I think those 2 changes would be enough to solve most complaints.

Why disable replays? What would it bring to heatseeker that it wouldn't do to other modes?
I hate replays and would love to see them gone, but i just don't see why they should only be disabled in heatseeker.

best thing to do is just leave and requeue, let the brainlets have their playtime with their vroom vrooms or whatever they are doing.

In the majority of games that I play a goal is scored at least every 30 seconds if not sooner, when 1 person dose not hit skip the replays last almost as long as the played match with the time paused... so if a match lasts 3-4 minutes, 1.5-2 of them playtime that is a loss of 50% xp for the same time in any other mode when there is no double xp event.

I've found myself going into other modes to level the rocket pass just for time to xp efficiency as less goals are normally scored.

But still even in 1v1 we have lot more goals and quite often someone who refuse to skip.
Even 2v2 has quite often close to 10 goals and peoplr refuse to skip.

It just would not make any sense to remove it from 1 mode and leave it for all the other modes.

And i am quite sure that 95% of people don't care at all about how many rocket pass levels they get from normal play.

Getting replays out of entire game would be nice. If u wanna watch ur goal again, save the replay.
