Handicap Feature

With the handicap feature being introduced: http://blog.haxball.com/post/29459206373/update-handicap-feature-and-tuned-netcode#disqus_thread

Do the admins have any plans to write something into the rules about this? It could make this league more friendly to our foreign players/UK players with naff connections.

I don't like the idea tbh.

It is a UK based league, I don't wanna have to bump up my ping to 200 and not be able to play well/have fun because a team has signed some mexican with shit net

no offense intended to anyone.

No .. you want better ping, get better internet or move house. Others shouldn't have to suffer just because a couple of players have tesco internet or are from Zimbabwe.

Seems to me like the handicap feature is meant to be for 1v1 play only, to utilize it for a 4v4 match so EVERYONE has the exact same ping would be rather difficult, if not impossible.

it'd be cool the hoster put /handicap 100 at least if he's playing...

Seems like a legitimate option.

^^

if u put on a 100/90 or less u make everyone else lag less while u urself do not lag.

well yeah, if you arn't using a neutral host, and the host is playing then depending on the average ping in the room handicap 70-80 or something..

It's not always the case of them having shit net, it's probably there shit computer with a bad processor or some shit
