Agree with this to an extent. I think the timer brings into your intuition a bit more, and that intuition is strengthened from a long time playing. But I also think it's too short at the low end for Doubles (when it hits like 20-30 seconds per turn.) There should always be 50-60 seconds per turn regardless of the timer circumstances, then you get "rewarded" with more per turn if you go quicker in the earlier turns, it rewards either good intuition or good play early game. I think the balance in my own mind is found with a slight increase in minimum time per turn, but I think it's still an alright concept.lost, gg Zach. May I steal your team? I really like it :3
Idk how other Doubles-players think about this, but we should really think about a longer timer in dubs. It doesn't help anyone if we don't have time thinking about our moves. Remember that there are twice the mons + twice the animations (skip turn doesn't help as you need to read through twice as much battlelog compared to Singles). Like I said, not sure if all Dubs players feel like this, I wasn't able to think about my possibilites this and last week (for exmample, I could've Willo'd + Protect Tran last turn but didn't have the time to figure out if this is the better option or not).
Anyways, always a pleasure to play you, Zach, hope we meet in San Francisco this year :)
Disabling animations really helps, it gives you an extra ~10 seconds per turn of thinking time.lost, gg Zach. May I steal your team? I really like it :3
