Ok hear me out, does no one else find theres a big problem with this rope racing?
So rope races are about shortest time right?
well anyone who has a vaguely good rank in rope racing does not rope correctly at all. :E
The thing is you can complete the races in faster times if you just take one big swing per turn and take damage than if you rope PROPERLY and use all your time up per turn. So basically the skilled roper finishes the round maybe in 2-3 turns. The other guy will take about 20 turns to finish yet will most likely finish in a faster time.
Now that is not how rope racing should work at all, but thats how it is.
I played the guy whos ranked #1 and this is all he does: 1 swing per turn...
Seriously this isn't roping how its meant to be played and the thing is theres such a simple alteration that could of been made to make it right...
Just make the winner the guy who ropes in the shortest amount of turns because that person is going to have to be more skilled to get through the map without hurting his worm and ending his turn.
If both worms finish on the same turn THEN you can look at the time it took to determine who was the faster worm.
But anyway i hope Team 17 incorporates this into any future releases as its such a simple change and one that would make rope races alot more fun and skillful.
