DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

There is a suggestion regarding the ban – ban not from 9 towns, but from 18.

That is, you do not ban a town in principle, but you ban a town either for yourself or for your opponent.

The ban scheme: 1-1-1-2-2-2-2-2-2-1.

Goal:

1) To diversify the ban. Currently, there are minimal options, especially if you even slightly know the player's style. For example, recently we were banning with Dubrovin in the Degustation final, we banned for both colors at once. So, after his first two bans for blue (Necro and Conflux), I understood not only the result of the first game's ban (Stronghold-Tower), but also immediately the second one (Dungeon-Swamp). It's depressing...

2) To allow the possibility of playing with the same towns.

3) To put the squeeze on those who don't know how to play a certain town. Because they will have to ban that town not only for themselves, but also for their opponent.
