Making Squad Tournaments Interesting and Fun
It seems the consensus on the forums is that tournaments are a boring slog, at best. Saying we don't like them, however, has not generated a response (aside from overloading us with more and more tournaments).
For other things, the forums were pretty much in agreement that AAT took too long, Boba Fett and other characters are underpowered, and tournament refreshes costing crystals was ridiculous. All of these things were addressed, within about a month.
What's the difference? Specifics. Ideas about how to make something better. So, without further ado, here are my ideas for making the Squad Tournaments better:
1. Make the defensive squad matter.
Examples:
Defenders gain points for each defensive win.
Institute a separate ranking with separate rewards for defensive rank.
2. Create restrictions in squad building that break up the monotony
Examples:
Defensive squad toons cannot be used in offense.
Offensive toons must be rebels, while defensive toons must be empire. (or scoundrels/empire, or jedi/separatist, or jawa/droid, etc)
3. Throw in extra rules to break up the monotony
Examples:
All units, except the squad leader, start the match stealthed.
All units start the match with a 4 turn, non-dispellable thermal detonator debuff.
Taunt buffs are replaced by offense up buffs.
Etc.
What are your thoughts?
