Oracle is the one streak that scares me every time I hear it; if only because the Ground Jammer is loving useless against it, and requires a two point perk that's good for nothing else.

Killzone did cloaking right (at least KZ2). If you activated it, you would remain invisible if you moved slowly. If you ran the camo would kind of stutter, and it dropped completely once you fired your weapon and went on cooldown which lasted a few seconds. You could still spot a fully-cloaked sniper if you knew what to look for. That would work since most pubbies are actually terrible shots and would spend more time out of cloak than in it.

It would also make hushing goddamn hilarious.

I don't think Sledgehammer is going to mess up implementing a cloaking system in MP. They've been talking a lot about supporting the competitive scene and an OP cloaking ability would go against that sentiment.

They can always do the current approach of banning/removing all the fun stuff for "balancing" purposes.

I kind of wonder what's the point of competitive tourneys if you're going to ban half the games perks and skills off the bat.

No poo poo. If I ran a competitive league, I would explicitly make sure that nothing was banned.
Even if the game was Modern Warfare 2.

EA would be an official partner, just so our motto could be, "It's in the game!"

The other slogan would, of course; be :dealwithit:

Pretty much everyone I see who defends competitive play defends it with the "football rules" thing. Like, they say banning all that stuff is so they can take out as many random elements as possible and to keep it on as even a playing field as they can.

That makes no sense, because pretty much all of these games by definition are closed systems with no random elements.
Everything is a known quantity (Halo Warthog collisions and C4 launching boats in BF4 notwithstanding).

This is stupid. Stupid poo poo like league or dots don't ban half of their poo poo for being gimmicky. People adjust based on what the other team is doing and use a number of variable heroes/items. "Competitive" COD is 12 people running the same layout on the same 2 maps and it's boring as gently caress.

I don't think you understand.

The Riot shield/C4 combo was OP as gently caress and impossible to counter in Ghosts. Black Ops 2 didn't fair too well with the patch that gave an extra 0.2ms increase in the time it takes a sniper rifle to scope which then rendered sniper rifles unusable and prompted multiple death threats to David Vonderhaar on Twitter.

You want to win money, learn how to play that way. Dance, for my amusement.

It shouldn't be the league's job to balance the game for the devs.

That's because there wasn't enough content though.
