Vanilla - allow changing between valid kits mid round

[jolly estuary]

Adapting your play style and kit is a big part of vanilla, so locking our kits for the entire match would give unconventional kits a big advantage

Let's say for example:

I'm fighting khalih, and he really likes using mace, but the kit that I happen to be using has no snowfall or cobwebs

I'm going to lose that fight every single time, but if I can change my kit to one with cobwebs and slowfall I will have a pretty decent chance of winning

I think it would be best to only let people swap between pre-saved kits, since making kits mid match would take too much time

Maybe 5-10 seconds between rounds to change kits?

i like the idea but wont vanilla only be ft1?

[jolly estuary]

I think that part isn't set in stone yet

But you do have a point

Hm

Imo vanilla should be ft3 for all tiers

Actually no

Ahhh

Maybe ft2 for lt5-lt3 and ft3 for mt3+?

idk how long fights in crystal can take so i cant really say much about it but from my experience in cart it can take like up to 40 minutes with two equally skilled players

But drain fights in high tiers can last well over an hour and even if it isn't drain, a 10 minute fight three times in a row would be kinda tiring with the same person

maybe the lower tiers should have more rounds instead

[jolly estuary]

yeah but the thing is that vanilla especially should have more than 1 round because of different kits and playstyles

all other gamemodes have the same kit for everyone

[weak cargo]

true

there was another suggestion where there could be drain maps, so you can choose if you want to play drain or not
