Did you ever ask a black person not to be black every day, diarouga?
Sigh. You're born black, you decide to become a one civ bot, that's the difference. And the issue is that if you don't give a strong enough incentive to play more than one or two civs, people will all play one civ only.
Anyways, i think it would be very interesting to try this option for the next few tourneys
Sure, in week-end tournaments though, you need to play more than 1-2 civs to deserve a seasonal title.
to see if it would come true what you predict
It's a meta thing, and these things take time to change. If we were to host just one tournament without civ rules it wouldn't change much, as top players are used to playing many civs, and they'd still do that. However, after 3-4 tournaments, you'd see almost everybody sticking to their best 3 civs because that's the best thing to do.
It's just like what happened in the mono civ cup, people picked their favourite civ, because they wanted to have fun and be creative, but in a competitive mono civ cup, we'd see the same civs and people would be less creative (because creativity isn't that rewarding actually).
Ofc it may be strong for some players to specialize on 1 civ, but dont forget that you cant counterpick anymore as a one-civ-player.
Ye, but some civs can't really be counter picked, that's the issue, and then you end up playing a fair MU on the paper, except the mono civ player has been tryharding this MU for months, while you haven't practiced it that much.
That's what happened with Irishfaithful actually. He was a very good player for sure, but their reason why he got to 2800 elos is that France was the best civ back then (along with Germany, that was before the nat scout and goon nerfs), so you couldn't counterpick him as a result, and he had much more experience in the Fre MUs than his opponents.
I think it also would be interesting how the one-civ-players compete
And we can see that when they pick their main civ. For instance, we all know that bwinner has insane results with otto compared to what he does with his other civs. Mono civ players can use their civ once or twice, and that's already good for them, no need to push that.
I doubt that many people would change to one-civ-players because they still would want to counterpick their opponent every game like the faggots that they are
Nah, it wouldn't work like that. Many top players used to be 1/2 civ players. Lukas, tabben and kaiser are good examples of that, they could only play 2-3 games when they reached brigadier. The only reason they diversified their civ pool is because they needed to do that in order to perform in tournaments, and the versatile players would switch to a few civs.
Hazza just said previously that he would start playing 90% France and I'd probably start try harding with France and China as well with no civ rules.
