    This is a new game mode that would add a ton of new strategy and gameplay.

    I'm pretty sure this hasn't been suggested before, but if it has, I give full credit to the user who submitted the idea.

    The point of the game mode is the same as the basketball game horse.
    At the beginning of each game there is one round where each player tries to get as many points as possible. The player with the highest amount of points becomes the "Leader"

    The leader will attempt to make a shot using any weapon of choice. After their shot, all other opponents must duplicate the shot.

    How Duplicating Works
    The opponents do not have to shoot in exactly the same way as the leader. They must simply use the same weapon and deal damage. They don't have to use the same power, same angle, or deal the same damage.

    however, if the leader uses a portal, bumper, x2, or REBOUND WALL. The opponents must replicate that with the weapon.

    If the Leader misses a shot
    The game will simply switch to the next person up (the person who dealt the second most damage in the pre-game turn.

    If the opponents miss the Leader's shot
    Each opponent that fails to duplicate the Leader's shot will receive a letter. The letters received go
    S-H-O-C-K, and once a player receives all of those letters, they are eliminated.

    Alternative options
    A double health mode is an option. It is "Shellshock" instead. There is also a shorter version called SSL.
    There is also a team based mode where each turn there is a different Leader from the same team until one of the players miss.

    One Weapon makes each person get the same one weapon.

    Level Field only affects the tank stats, not weapons. All players get the same weapons regardless of level field.

    Single shot means each player shoots separately.
    Team shot makes each opponent on a team shoot at the same time after the Leader shoots.
    All shot means that all opponents shoot at the same time after the Leader shoots

    Why this should be added
    This is a very strategic game mode that harnesses skill rather than luck. It tests all of the players skill since players must replicate shots made by the leader.
    Most importantly, this game mode eliminates using a ruler. If a Leader decides to use a portal, bumper, and the rebound wall, it will be a little harder for a person using a ruler to copy that...

    so yeah, everybody spam Kyle
    oh and i also thought of this in like 5 minutes

    Yes.

    This is innovative and would be a great addition to that game in terms of variety.

    Absolutely.

    This is creative and would be a great introduction to the game in regards to diversity.

    Now this is interesting! Coming up with this idea in just a few minutes, that's impressive.

    Finally a game mode that sounds different.
    We need something to replace "Points Mode" that sadly nowadays is pretty much only used for "XP Farms".

    It's going to take quite a number of people interested in it to make it doable, though.

    Best of luck, dude. You deserve it :eek:

    Yes, definitely i hate those XP farms... All lobbys are just these farms, it's so annoying and just for people who can't get XP the normal way :confused:
