David Vonderhaar responds to League Play complaints in Black Ops Cold War Call of Duty \/ ActivisionTreyarch game design director David Vonderhaar has responded to the litany of complaints about League Play in Black Ops Cold War, promising a more transparent explanation down the line, too. [jwplayer HTC4QIpT] Call of Duty\u2019s competitive community has been patiently waiting for a ranked playlist since BOCW dropped in November 2020, and it seemed all our prayers had been answered when it was announced League Play would be arriving on February 8. That said, it quickly became apparent that fans weren\u2019t impressed with League Play when it arrived. Slamming the mode as \u201ca massive joke,\u201d players in their droves made complaints about several issues with the competitive playlist. The system itself has been questioned, while the lack of correlation between the playlist and actual CDL rules or pro play has left players on all scales seething. Had a lot of people asking why I don\u2019t stream CoD League Play\u2026 It isn\u2019t a true ranking system. CoD needs to learn from League of Legends, Valorant, and CS. I want to be able to show off my rank, brag about it on my profile, earn exclusive items. I\u2019d love to consult for it. \u2014 Jack \u201cCouRage\u201d Dunlop (@CouRageJD) February 9, 2021 Vonderhaar provides an insight into BOCW League Play With players wanting an explanation from the devs as to the decision-making process behind this iteration of League Play, Vonderhaar has given us something. Though, we should expect a more polished response down the line. Replying to CoD YouTuber SalvationsElite, Vahn tagged community manager Josh \u2018Foxhound\u2019 Torres suggesting that the topic would make a good blog topic or Reddit article. Saying he \u201cdoesn\u2019t have enough characters to do it justice,\u201d Vonderhaar notes the keywords would be \u201cScope. Accessibility. Deadlines. Franchise.\u201d He then adds that the Treyarch team has \u201cgot some work to do to evangelize how it works after we clean up some of the obnoxious bugs.\u201d This might be a good blog topic or Reddit article @FoxhoundFPS. I don’t have enough characters to do it justice. Keywords: Scope. Accessibility. Deadlines. Franchise. We got some work to do IMO to evangelize how it works after we clean up some of the obnoxious bugs. \u2014 Vahn (@DavidVonderhaar) February 9, 2021 What does this actually mean? Of course, we should wait until the actual blog post until we fully judge their response and understand their position.

They wanted to make the mode as accessible as possible, for example, while still delivering the playlist in a timely manner \u2014 perhaps they were told the game couldn\u2019t wait any longer. As for \u201cscope\u201d and \u201cfranchise,\u201d these are a little harder to ascertain exactly what Vonderhaar means. We\u2019ll just have to wait to read their response in full when that becomes available. Custom classes & GAs In a response to one complaint, Vahn says that he \u201chates GAs\u201d and \u201cwants to do fixed classes so it\u2019s not about restrictions\/bans but picking a class that everyone can understand.\u201d This is in response to criticism over certain attachments not being banned that would be in CDL rules, such as suppressors and the SMG Task Force attachment. Day 1. Chill. This will sort itself out. I hate GA’s. I want to do fixed classes so it’s not about restrictions\/bans but picking a class that everyone can understand\/learn that doesn’t have all the things that would be GAd. For League, many others think I am nuts. \u2014 Vahn (@DavidVonderhaar) February 9, 2021 Consulting CoD pros for help? After seeing a tweet from 3-time world champion Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter regarding League Play, Vonderhaar reached out saying he needed to \u201cask some questions.\u201d It\u2019s not exactly clear what he needs to ask, but getting help from Call of Duty pros themselves could be the best way to appease competitive players. Text me. I can’t find your number. Need to ask some questions. \u2014 Vahn (@DavidVonderhaar) February 9, 2021 It\u2019s not clear what exactly the result of all of this will be, but Vonderhaar and the Treyarch team are clearly looking through all of the feedback available to them and willing to adjust accordingly. The question then becomes what changes will be made, and will they be able to turn this negative reaction around?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
