Quote:Pieguy posted a similar topic at the NG a while back. I think the consensus that was eventually reached was that any mechanic in the game has the right to be exploited. Personally, I don't really think it adds a whole lot...
Yeah, I remember, but back then (before CCLP3 came out) I didn't have an opinion on the matter. Here I wanted to gather some information on how players tend to use the mouse, if we revisit the topic before the next CCLP comes out. Overall it seems to me that if we could lower the learning curve even a bit for newer competitive players, we might have more people interested in playing competitively. Allowing the mouse basically creates artificial difficulty in competitive play, and optimizing levels is quite the task even without the mouse! Besides LFS (which isn't allowed to be exploited) we also are trying to weed out other weird behavior from future levels through better design, like avoiding the C/B glitch.
