I think this ridiculous statement deserves a bump
If they don't complain specifically about it, they do what Vanquish has been doing here instead. Which is come up with reasons to complain about the new system that prevents it.

A reminder to all that this is NOT an RnF thread.

At least it's not intended to be.

I personally believe a standard countdown is most fair. Of the top 5 best racers from the last 2 years.... one of them plays from Asia. And another from Europe. I think it's pretty much agreed that a 300 ping puts you at more of a disadvantage than having an average or lower reaction time.

I don't think more quakes is a bad thing for the server. In fact a weekly quake may be a great thing for it. It's nice to see.

I also believe that it would be possible to start the race in a way that it would take more time/ be more risky to edit parameters vs just paying attention to start running. What if we all joined a discord and an admin just said GO randomly once ready?

This is actually an interesting point I hadn't really thought about. I believe Kelzaraz is pretty widely considered the best racer in this games history, or at least in the conversation, and he had a consistent 140-150 ping. So he had a handicap larger than what Stunningly supposedly gains by scripting.

Lmao I love how vanquish has slowly shifted from denial to “yeah we cheated but it really didn’t give us that big an advantage!”

I don't speak for Vanquish whatsoever. I'm a casual player who quit in late 2016 and have played casually on and off since.

I associate myself much more with Inglourious Basterds, Rampage, and Awakened.

If anything, people would probably expect me to side against Vanquish, since it's basically full of Aftermath/AG people. You know, my rival guild for years.

I have never cheated, I haven't gotten an FTE since years before you started this game. I don't mean that as an insult or anything, just some perspective. I do not believe Stunningly cheats because the evidence provided is not compelling. The reductive way you guys turn a 90,000ms fight into a 50-100ms jump advantage is, to those of us who have raced Statue a lot, humorous. That race is won on the mechanics. The two snowpiles. The sharp turns. Near 100% strafe time. Not choking at the end (DA Vindi, click the door and target statue macro, click off DA).

When a guy consistently beats your guild by 2000-5000ms, and you're focusing on the 100ms jump, I think you may be a bit misguided. But that's just my opinion. I've seen videos where he could've given you guys two full seconds head start and still won comfortably. Sorry, i don't really have a dog in this fight (I've played since beta & 2016 Awakened was the best guild in this game, and it's not close) but I think there may be bigger issues at play.

“My guild”? I’m not in riot or a raiding guild lol. I don’t need to be in a raiding guild to realize that your guild cheats. Especially when a vanquish member had multiple YouTube videos up ABOUT HOW TO SCRIPT RACES lol that were immediately taken down when Vanquish outed themselves by accident by posting the videos without realizing Riot was running a sting operation

Disable variance. Make the start times between 3-9pm EST. Everyone joins the discord channel once ready. Define racers, ready up, admin calls go whenever they see fit.

Are you asking for a guild remove?
