Pbox camping solution?

Yeah and the one reason why it's dying without ever ending up dead is people hang on to the general concept they like of Speed Ball or whatever, hoping one day the game will be great.

This won't help? Why? See if you mark one guy, and another goes into the pbox. If you use your method 60*2/2, you will have only 60 dmg on the attacker.

The attacker will just tell everyone to rush, you can't die easily, creates more people in the pbox for more spam.

One idea I would like to add is maybe an addition to health taken off for attackers on the enemy side. May it be like 15 health damage for each hit. I'm sure the health will go up and somewhat lower rate, but you shouldn't die quickly with this idea.

2 things

1. wont work. pbox camping is all about shake shot, not gib...gib is just a plus

2. only way you can get rid of pbox camping is to reduce the catch radius of all people in it, other than the keeper. pbox camping is all about shake shot, or int/deflect. Not gib.

Messy...nice formula...but what about...

D = 120x/y

D=Damage done in a single hit
x=No. of attackers in p-box
y=No. of Defenders in p-box

Therefore it only makes a difference if the d's outnumber the o's

what davidm tried to say is

there is no pbox camping PROBLEM.

as i can see pbox camping is only really a problem on public servers and its not even a problem. it can only have harsh effects if a good team is playing a bad team and goes with lame tactics.

but i don't see any really close games going on. its still average of 10 goals. in 30 mins of play. thats pretty good i think.

They shudnt O_o
It's far more effective to continuously pressure and just use one or two defenders to do that final perfectly coordinated blow that will render the attack useless (shake, kill, intercept, whatever).

Boxing out is good =\ A proper attack can just wait untill the enemy makes a cock-up and then shoot the ball nicely top corner, or quickly volley it in with a cross-volley (lmb/rmb, whatever)

Pbox camping effectiveness is way overrated -.-
