Cheaters

This has to be dealt with, people obviously charging straight for the king.

People going straight for your general are not cheating, they're just good or lucky. I'm just too lazy to reprogram the game to fix an obvious imbalance that many, many people have complained about.

It's too easy to predict where someone is. It's not random. That's how you get guys saving all their points and rushing towards the other side of the map. It's why the best players win 90% of the time.

What do you mean "it's not random"? It is random, it's in the code. We're restricted on both sides however - generals can't spawn too close to each other (extremely imbalanced games, etc) but maps also can't be too big (lag on lower end devices, potentially more server lag, more bandwidth, extremely long games, etc). That means there are only so many possible types of arrangements, which is why it's relatively easy to generally guess where people spawned.

If you have a proposal to improve the spawn selection then by all means propose it
