Is it time to nerf the Zounds?

Post by McLovin »

They were cool and a novelty in the beginning, but now they are getting F'n annoying. Especially when someone goes on an endless stream at the end of the game. I believe spectators can only hear spectator zounds and players can only hear player zounds, plus there is a timeout after 2 zounds in a row. I'd suggest limiting zounds to 2 per player per game. Use them wisely. Come up with an original thought if you want to blabber the public with your wit.

They are used almost exclusively at the end of the match. What's the big deal? If you don't like them you can turn them off in the zound menu. I think pooty has already done a good job limiting how much they can be spammed.

Limit them more? Possibly, but it doesn't seem like an issue to me anymore. I do think some of them are much too long, but that's another matter.

2 is too few IMO, we don't get them much in game, mostly at the end or in the in between.

If there's any that are particularly annoying/offensive, we can remove them (we've removed a few already)

Plus as Snarf said you can turn them off if you don't like them.
