Hi, I'm posting here to inform you that I did NOT forget about the raitings.
I'm nearly done with big categorties (I'm doing that category wise, for every entry so I can compare them better in every single category). I expect that I'm done this weekend (for real, this time -.-').

The reason for the delay was the organic chemistry lab-session I had this semester (yes, I'm studying chemistry^^) and the fact that I was ill right after the end of the holidays cost me some important work time making the already packed plan even more stressful, so I had to concentrate on it, making me only have time for ratings on the weekends.

Enjoy its cool. Better to not rush it.

Also nice career choice. You're gonna be making drugs for the masses :)

This took long. However, I'm getting busy soon too.

People have their shiet. Also its kind of jopi's fault. Said the results are coming and they never did. Either way, when it comes I will upload it and pester the rep givers *cough* admins to distribute rep.

Yes, Berken's score is somehow missing in chaosy's ratings.

Also I DID IT! (finally... -.-'), just sent my scores to sentrywiz.

Shit! I just notice I haven't even judged that entry, the author must be slacking since he hasn't told me.

I will review it before I go to bed.¨

edit: done.
Chaosy's review on Breken, the Vile Fiend

CONCEPT

LORE

PRESENTATION

MECHANICS

COMPLEXITY

BALANCE

IMPLEMENTATION

TOTAL



10 POINTS

Is the hero idea valid with the chosen theme? Is the concept original and/or well modified? 10 POINTS


Personally I don't think this suits the theme. It's a big spider with some extraordinary poision. The keybinds are odd. The language is horriblly written and there are countless grammar failures.
2/10




10 POINTS

Is the lore compatible with the hero? Does the lore paint a clear picture of the hero?
Is the lore specific enough in terms of origin of the hero?
Does the lore fit with the overall map theme lore?


Describes the origin of the character but lacks deph and well.. information. You give a decent base story, but if you want to give your hero/character deph you really need to develop the story with more info. And as said before, it's horribly written, while there aren't spelling mistakes the grammar is very bad and there are missing words at various places.
3/10




15 POINTS

Are the hero stats, attributes, abilities, lore and other shown in a clean, readable user interface (UI)?
Did the author use enough graphic material to represent his or her hero idea to the fullest?


I really like the prentation style here. It's clean and informative. And it's very charmy as well. I truly love the color combination. Full score, no doubt.
15/15




20 POINTS

How does the hero mechanics work with each other? Are the spells synergistic between each other?
How difficult this hero's play style would seem for an average player?


Lacks synergy, but there are multiple skillshots and the ultimate seems really interesting as well since the summoned minions has their own abilities.

15/20




10 POINTS

Are the hero mechanics as complex as necessary?
Does the complexity level of the hero provide fun and interesting gameplay? If yes, why?


I like the ability concept when it comes to ability depth, you take the abilties a step higher and manage to keep it at a simple level. Even though the utlimate can be really hard to controll depending on how you want to design the minions to work. If you want them to be controled manually it could be a little too much. But if there is a pet system or something..
9/10




25 POINTS

Is the hero balanced for the chosen map theme?
Are the abilities, stats or attributes shown break the balance in some way?
Is the hero in a playable state as described or it needs rework?
If yes, what needs to be changed and why?


The hero seems a little weak damage wise, but he brings plenty of cc to make up for that. I'd say he is pretty balanced but leaning towards being among the weaker heroes.
22/25




10 POINTS

Can this hero be created into the chosen map? If yes, what is the complexity required for a playable state?
Approximately how long would an average creator need to create this hero?


There shouldn't be any problems to add this unless you want a AI system for the ultimate. Even though you need above basic knowledge to create skillshots.
9/10



CONCEPT (2/10)
LORE (3/10)
PRESENTATION (15/15)
MECHANICS (15/20)
COMPLEXITY (9/10)
BALANCE (22/25)
IMPLEMENTATION (9/10)

TOTAL (75/100)

Where's the results? :D

I'll do it one of these days cuz I need to throw everything in the results page.
As you know its a big new table with lots of scores.
Also need to apply your formula, which I've forgotten again. -.-
 

sentrywiz

S

sentrywiz

[(Chaosy + jopi)/2] x 0.75 + (poll *0.25)

The formula for the poll is in the contest poll thread.

Right. I'll use that

Also I get an error when editing the thread, apparently the thread is sick of me constantly adding more stuff to it so it finally tells me to go fuck myself and I get this error: The text that you have entered is too long (267459 characters). Please shorten it to 200000 characters long.

In other words, I will have to delete chaosy and jopi's judge scores so that I can make the final table.

EDIT: the culprit is jopi. His / hers judging is WAY too detailed (nothing bad with it) but since its like that I cannot upload it to the thread directly so I will just share a link to the pastebin where the scores are.
 

sentrywiz

S

sentrywiz

How'd it even get past 200k? ;_;

idk. jopi apparently stole another 60k lines of text. gg wp! the thread surrenders

anyway - I've started compiling the results. my head already hurts from nightmare's twisted formula of destruction.
 

sentrywiz

S

sentrywiz

RESULTS ARE OUT!!!


Thanks for your participation.
Hope the IC continues to be better and better.

Mythic and Nolyp - your scores were EXACTLY IDENTICAL so you both get 2nd place.

well, lol....

I've had a feeling thats something like this would happen ..... -.-

If you want (so make the thread complete) I can make a shortened version of my ratings so you can post them. Should one want to get some detail info you still can link to the pastebin (on a side note my review is only 2190 lines, if not shorter .... not 60k XD)

And , Congratularions to the winners and every one else who participated!

I thought Chaosy's scores are changed? A little wrong with the poll calculation. I'll try to compute.

Well chaosy only made a mistake in the balance > implementation. His "new" scores didn't include any new final scores of his own. So I used those that he had previously provided. If I made a critical mistake, do scour and find out.
 

sentrywiz

S

sentrywiz

Okay.

So the total voters is : 12?

and you won't include the self votes?

another, you made a wrong cal to the poll.

I'm almost finish with the final scores. Seems ranking will change.

Oh boy. Well let's see

I'll double post for everybody to be notified. I can't believe, now I do agree with sentrywiz's opinion about reducing the poll from 25% to 20%.

Please recalculate if you wish, if there's any errors please say it.

Please recalculate if you wish, if there's any errors please say it.

That's not the formula you told me about the public votes.

This is the formula I followed:

(((Judge1Score + Judge2Score) / 2) * 0.75 + (NumOfVotes * 0.25))

Plus you count all the self-votes which we agreed that aren't gonna be counted.

Also I see the chaosy scores are changed here and there. This is what I forgot to do and I will do it again.
Nevertheless, the formula you gave me isn't the one you're using here.

EDIT:

I read the poll formula in the poll thread.
I totally missed that one.

Well it seems everything is in order. But to be honest, not to sound like I'm QQ-ing about losing my first place
all of the formulas are obscured as fuck and only you know them. Plus they need sort of revamping, both from
the perspective of a judge/host/participant. So for the next IC, please put them somewhere in the main thread
so that there will be no confusion.

I will use your image instead of the scores I posted. Grats on your first place. I'm okay with not being 1st,
but all this confusion gave me headache. Share all your formulas IN ONE PLACE next time.

I won't be joining next time, I'm out.

Your hacks are on cooldown? XD

Btw you are lacking the names of the contestants in your image.
Here, look at the table I made and add the names to your table.
Then reupload the image so I can link it in the main thread.
