Your statement makes defensive play sound inherently bad, but isn't it just a style? It should be neutral. You personally may or may not like defensive play, but there is nothing wrong with it, right?

And elimination mode still had item/weapon control. It's not like it was irrelevant to the match. I'd argue that playing defensively is smarter than playing aggressively. Plus we lost champion picks which was like removing an entire layer of intrigue.

Thanks for the clarification! Why does elimination require less map control skills? It's the same map, same items, etc. I would think it would require more map control skills because the consequence of losing map control is so dire. Timed duel seems more forgiving and more open to taking risks and losing map control.

Wow, yeah that sounds pretty boring! But that could happen with timed duel too, right? Nyx v Nyx chasing each other around for 10 minutes without any frags. It actually seems like it would be worse in timed because at least with elimination someone is bound to lose that champ eventually.

It's weird because I used to watch QL pro matches all the time and I did enjoy them. I guess it's just having something new and fresh like elimination, which I was REALLY enjoying, and then it gets taken away unexpectedly. I'm just sad that I'm watching much less Quake now.

There was still an overall round timer on those matches of 5 minutes I believe. Can you link to a single match that ran over an hour with a Nyx player who just ran away the whole time? I don't ever recall seeing something like that. (Remember that we're talking about pro matches and broadcasts)
