Board Thread:Debate of The Week/@comment-39067078-20190810031449

I'm not talking about regular contests where you just do a role in a certain category such as just Mafias or whatever.

I looked at the OverwatchHeroConcept subreddit and the way they do it is quite interesting.

Instead of basing it on something like "name must be" or "alignment must be", they do things like: "Must utilize (mechanic)" "Harnesses nature"

The main reason I'm putting it on debate is that there are quite a lot of problems.

Some of them, like "must be a sniper", "damage that heals", "builds to heal" don't work very well because they don't translate well. Role categories can't be mixed like in Overwatch so easily, and a killing that heals isn't very common to see.

The secondary problems: Who will be judges? Who will monitor this?

I mean personally RDN seems like a prime subject for this.

Tertiary problems: Do we even have enough competing people? The off topic has taken most of the space here. I don't see many roles being posted anymore... at least until september.
