Rules English

Match Settings:

Game Mode: Time Limit Duel.

Map Duration: 10 minutes.

Frag Limit: None (or set to 100). The player with the most kills in 10 minutes wins.

Overtime (Sudden Death): If the score is tied after 10 minutes, the game continues until the first frag.

Champion Selection Format (Pick/Ban)

Before each map, players engage in a character ban and pick phase:
Each player selects one primary champion for the entire map.

The Champion Lock rule applies: if one player has picked a specific champion, the other player cannot use it on that map (mirror matches are prohibited).

In a match series (e.g., BO3 or BO5), a global lock rule typically applies: a champion a player has already won a map with cannot be picked in subsequent games of the series.

Discipline and Technical Rules

Prohibited Software: The use of any third-party programs for graphics modification, macros, or strafe-jump scripts is strictly punishable by disqualification.

Pauses: Technical pauses (via the in-game menu) are only permitted with the judge’s consent or in the event of an official disconnection.

Rules Russian

Основные настройки матча

Режим игры: Time Limit Duel (Дуэль с ограничением по времени).
Длительность карты: 10 минут.
Лимит фрагов: отсутствует (или выставлен на 100). Побеждает игрок, набравший большее количество убийств за 10 минут.
Овертайм (Sudden Death): если по истечении 10 минут зафиксирована ничья, игра продолжается до первого фрага.

Формат выбора чемпионов (Pick/Ban)
Перед стартом каждой карты игроки проводят стадию банов и пиков персонажей:

Каждый игрок выбирает одного основного чемпиона на всю карту.
Применяется правило запрета на повторение (Champion Lock): если один игрок выбрал конкретного чемпиона, второй игрок использовать его на этой карте уже не может (зеркальные матчи запрещены).
В серии матчей (например, BO3 или BO5) действует правило глобального лока: чемпиона, на котором игрок уже выиграл карту, нельзя брать в последующих играх серии.

Дисциплина и технические правила

Запрещенный софт: использование любых сторонних программ для изменения графики, макросов или скриптов на распрыжку (strafe-jump) строго карается дисквалификацией.
Паузы: техническая пауза (через внутриигровое меню) допускается только при согласии судьи или в случае официального дисконнекта.

They are not cheaters, the game just allows you to do such things after the latest update.

The hit registration was improved but the already broken lg wasn't accordingly adjusted to compensate for it even then, as a result anyone with trained aim and steady 40-50% lg accuracy just demolishes enemy stacks in under a second and nothing can counter that. If you abuse the lg you win, it's that simple and it works effectively in every single game mode.

I remember how pleasant and fair QC gaming experience used to be and how all weapons felt viable on their right place and fights were determined more by positioning, timing and decision making rather than just raw lg tracking to instantly melt your opponent.

It all started with the autumn 2024 patch, when some genius came to conclusion that breaking weapon balance by ramping the lg's dps up to 140 (from 120 it had comfortably sat at for several years being perfectly fine) would somehow be an appropriate and healthy change for QC.

And now this lg nonsense combined with the improved hitreg has reached its absolute peak to the point where every ranked duel and even regular tdms feel like everyone is cheating. 😆

This is not right and this is not how it is supposed to be.

Anything above 120 lg dps is out of common sense range at this point, because past this threshold lg is no longer balanced and starts being completely oppressive leaving practically no room for any counter play

I know, I know, yet another bitching l2p scrub thread, but hear me out.

I returned to QC half a year ago and mainly play TDM. Until last couple of weeks, all was good. I was frequently meeting the same people, I recognized them and had a pretty good idea of what each is capable of.

Some are excellent players, some not so much, but it was fun as hell and I never had "what the f**k?" crossing my mind, especially that I've played Q3A for thousands of hours and I know how absolutely devastating and dominating some players can be.

Games were pretty consistent, most games I knew exactly where I could improve and where I was lacking.

Last couple of weeks though? Games feel like complete face rolls that are either 75 to 30 or 30 to 75 with a random guy absolutely dominating and shitting on everyone. "What the f**k?" is my constant thought at this point.

There's a pattern in most games I play, where there is some guy I've never seen before just sitting on LG and Rail spawns all day and DESTROYING anything he is able to see in 2 seconds and prefiring uncommon angles. At the same time his movement and positioning feels very off.

It's not the same guy ofcourse, but I can't help but notice this happening VERY often right now. Ofcourse one can be salty after losing, but now it's not about that. Currently I'm either carried with the rest of the team by some random, or get face rolled with no room for play.

me tocó jugar contra él en un duel ranked y noté una LG muy contundente y un movimiento medio básico, tiene 1955 de elo así que no se, que opinan esta lockeado o no?
