Consider changing polymorphic medal requirements


Concise description:
  • Consider changing polymorphic medal requirements since you are only able to play one person per game unlike other game types where several players can be involved making it several times easier to achieve medals in these other areas.

Specifics/Details:
  • Consider changing polymorphic medal requirements since you are only able to play one person per game unlike other game types where several players can be involved making it several times easier to achieve medals in these other areas.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • It would make the medal achievement of this medal less lopsided.

Exactly. They are ALL 1v1.

So instead of the ability to add 7+ player wins EACH game, you have one game, one kill. And it seems that you have not won a SINGLE polymorphic game, your comment hardly even qualifies as subjective. Seriously.

Maybe it will change when they get multiplayer poly games implemented? :D

You've missed one important point in Doubles, Triples and Quadruples games, you face multiple opponents on the other team/teams, all of which count towards your Team Game medals should you win. Imagine playing 1v1 to earn all your medals. Standard, Terminator or Assassin with Fog, Nuclear, Random or Trench. It would take forever.

Polymorphic is 1v1 with almost no neutrals in non-conquest maps(which is great btw), so unless they allow for multiplayer polymorphic games where 3 or more players can fight each other obtaining the Polymorphic medal will be just as annoying to get as the Bot medal.

A few things...

Why I think this can't really be implemented:

People need something to strive for. Once some people get platinum, they may stop playing the setting. And we don't want it to die out.

It's already set in stone. Almost All of our other medals are based off of the same numbering system. Why change it? (Bots don't count, they are almost a guaranteed win)

Easier ways to get the medal:

Callous
Poly Tournaments
A ton of games- a TON
Alternative routes:

Did you listen to aramondolas? He pointed to his suggestion, which would easily fix your problem here. I would consider it to benefit the site more to add the ability to do polymorphic multiplayer games (Can you imagine doubles polymorphic? That would be sweet!) over changing the reward. And when CC added the medal, it was meant to be a challenge- there are people here who have been decked out in platinum for a long time, it's time to give them a challenge!

I play a lot of poly games (about to get my Silver medal) and will continue to play them after I get my Platinum. The thing that honks me off is when a person joins three of my poly games. Even if I win all three, I just get 1 point towards the medal. I would just rather see every poly game count, even if you have beaten that player before.

That's how it is with all the medals. Not gonna change. Otherwise you could just play the exact same player over and over again.
