This is an idea I've been kicking around for a while and just kind of want to gauge intrest.
The idea is, of course, to have a little mini-tournament ( probably just the full set of maps in one sitting ) for Hero Team Death Match.
Now, I know what you're thinking, HTDM is lame. This is true. However, the mode itself isn't lame, it's what the people have turned it into. In Battlefront 2, it was my favorite mode, but the characters were balanced better so you could be anyone against anyone and have a chance ( and Star Wars is better than LOTR, but either way ). Anyway, my idea invovles promoting teamwork and keeping it from turning into Archers vs Scouts or 8 Gandalfs vs 8 Sarumenses with two simple rules:
-No more than two of each hero class can be used on a team.
-Every hero available must be used in your teams setup.
Since there's only ( I think ) six heroes on either side in a map, for a full game you'd have to allow doubles. Also, on most maps, evil has two mages, so I guess you'd want to keep it fair there, too. Either way, it would be up to the teams what two characters they want to double up on.
I guess it's really just a way to prove the mode doesn't have to be awful, that the warrior heroes don't have to be useless, and stuff like that. Like I said, it would just be a few rounds to keep things from suffering the Tourney Syndrome of falling apart after a few games. It's nothing formal, and can be as simple as everyone together in a chat one night saying "hey, let's try this."
Just curious if anyone would give it a shot.
