Which sham deserves more saves in sham battles?

So this is like a chicken or the egg discussion I've come across in room often.

In a theoretical situation, there is a dual shaman map, and both holes have the same amount of effort to get to, one hole belongs to a low leveled newbie, while the other belongs to a high leveled pro, which hole do you go into?

For the people on the lower leveled newbie side, they claim that they need more saves so they can gain levels very quickly so they can get more skills and become a better shaman. In addition, they are new, so they should be treated nicely.

For the people on the higher leveled pro side, they claim that they need more saves because it takes a ridiculous amount of exp just to go up 1 level, so they need as much exp as they can. In addition, people should be respectful to the higher leveled players because they are like the elders of the game.

I personally would go to the higher leveled shaman because I understand what they have to go through with the high amount of exp needed to level up. So what do you guys think?

The lower leveled shaman deserves more saves

I have no preference

The higher leveled shaman deserves more saves

I think the more experienced shaman should get the saves because when you're a level 1 new player, you can get XP quickly by just gathering cheese and taking it back to the hole. When you're a shaman that is level 60+ it takes a lot more than gathering cheese to level up and so becoming the shaman is where you get most of your saves and XP.

Voted for the higher shaman.

Not that I have anything wrong with new players, but they get XP easier than more high level players.

The person who does all the work should get it. It doesn't matter level, but if one shaman does two springs I don't think he should get more saves than the shaman who built an entire bridge.

I would actually go to the low leveled person even if they didn't build. If you want to go to the high leveled person's hole just because 'it takes a lot of time to get to another level for the high leveled players'. Low leveled players are trying to reach high levels too and they will find it harder if people go to the high leveled player's hole.. I would go to the person who built the most but sometimes newbies don't know how to build.

There are a few vanilla maps I know of where no building is required for dual sham maps such as 44, 45, 49, and 53. For those maps that you can solo, which hole would you go to?

Whichever hole is closest, since most people who are attempting to solo are gunning for first and have no time to pick.

The person who knows what they're doing.

I agree with this

I mean no disrespect to the newer shaman, but I'd go in the hole for the more experienced shaman. The players who have been in the game for a long time deserve respect, in my opinion. The newer shaman can get more XP easily and level up quickly, but it'll take a long time for the pro shaman to level up just once.

The one that doesn't act like a dick who cannons the other sham off and/or blocks their hole.

If the new kid is at least trying with a bit of effort che got my save. As "hi level sham" i honestly don't give a damn about saves. I just want to build (that's why i'm probably the only +100 without the spring skill) for my own pleasure

always me

I don't really have a preference. As I'm a level 49 decent shaman, I wouldn't cal myself a really giant noob, But I'm no where near being a pro.

I do agree with the fact that that it takes so god-damn long to level up once you hit the level 40-ish mark.
But I also agree that New players do need to gain higher levels in order to become better overall shamans.

But I also feel like the one that put more effort into getting the mice to the hole should win, Like Haruhi said, I definetly feel like the shaman that took time to build an entire bridge should get more saves then the shaman who puts a couple springs and then just doesn't care what happens.

So overall, I think both shamans should get a bit of love, whether their elders who have been here since 2010, level 100+ and know all the game mechanics, or whether their newbies who just started and need a little help.

I tend to go to the ones with a lower level and the ones who was just cannoned to death.

#14

I usually go to the hole that'll balance the saves.

#15

I go to the shaman who has built the most (usually higher levels) or been the nicest, if both have been pretty good then i just go to whichever i percieve as nothing having gotten as much saves.

Though I might probably go for the lower leveled shaman, but I don't really have a preference because I am a player that just wants to get cheese for myself, which is pretty self centered.
Is only when you talked about this made me know myself more and probably I should think about the shaman feelings next time.

But another thing is that shamans always fight? I would try not to go into the hole of the shaman that 1st placed the cannon, unless both shamans are just as rude. so...

#18

Whoever does the most work because why would I go to a hole who barely does work? You work for saves, right?

#19

If one sham blocks or kills the other sham, then I remove the barrier with balls and go to the sham's hole who died lmao

#20

I give saves to the lower leveled ones because it may be one of the few opportunities they have to get saves in the beginning. I kind of feel they can't compete with the higher level shams (who often have divine mode and skills) so I try to get to their hole before the high level sham can block it.

That said, maybe it's best that low level shams don't get too many saves...with how easy it is to gain experience, they end up relying too much on skills and not being able to build well even by the time they're at level 30-40.
