Ranked Arena

[Caitniss]

Maybe so

But changes to arena is a discussion for another thread and another time

(c wut i did there? )

Sorry for derailing even more.

Lets get back on topic.

Yea, in a way. If we ever even have the hope of getting it changed, then it's a discussion for Reddit I imagine. It's more important to me that the ticket system gets changed in some way than getting it in Ranked anyway. I hate really boring games when neither team will do anything.

edit: Oh yea, back on topic~

Anyway, the second reason I want it in Ranked (other than getting the game mode changed) is so that people might do better in it like people have said happened with Joust. Maybe, just maybe.

Not really? It's still completely derailed, and nothing good came from earlier discussions either.

Go to page 26. begin reading. That was from yesterday. There's still plenty of discussion potential.

Now I'm confused on what exactly we're discussing.

Now I'm confused on what exactly we're discussing.

Ranked arena and why it should/shouldn't be put back in, and what should/shouldn't be changed.

Then maybe help us here? I think we've gone too far off track to know exactly where that was headed.

Get rid of minions, start lvl 30 with 100k gold, with no potions available, first team to 30 kills. Done.

That sounds like a MOTD

That would be over in like 5 minutes.

Arena should still have a point system. Let's go with 500 Points as it is now as the target.
There should be no minions and no jungle monsters. The only way to get back into base is by dying.

There is no Gold Gain in Arena, everyone is able to freely pick 4 Items of their choice at any point of the game and relics are free to upgrade. Also no EXP, everyone starts and remains at level 15.

The first team to reach 500 points wins.

Points can be earned in multiple ways.

Getting player kills.
Getting impressive player kills and/or other feeds (Double Kills, Revenge Kills, Deicides)

A team also gains points for as long as they stand in the centre of the arena, thus in the centre of attraction for the audience. This circle should be a bit bigger than the circle you can have around the four central pillars. Points are gained only for the team that has the advantage number wise over the enemy team and the point gain is as high as the numeral advantage.

Say one team holds the middle circle with all 5 members while two enemy gods are trying to fight them, the first team will earn 3 points at a time interval.


Every 50 to 75 points earned between both teams, something will happen in the arena to get the crowd even more excited.

Something like Monsters and Titans appearing on the Map that attack enemies on both sides in some way, causing chaos on the map but can grant small or even great benefits to whoever exploits them.

Fire Giant
He appears and randomly aggroes all players on the map, using his attacks all over the Map while staying static in the middle of the map. You can exploit the damage he deals to your advantage and pick targets off. The team that slays him gets a nerfed version of his buff. Also a couple of points as a bonus

PaoLao
A PaoLao appears at the centre of the map, pulling in all players withing it's range and dealing damage to them.

Nemean Lion(s)
A horde of lions and Bastet Cats appear from the side lines and attack everyone in their sight. Killing one of those grants points as well.

Basilisks
Appear on the sidelines as well and basicly behave the same, but every now and then, they use an attack that turns players to stone.



Just brainstorming how I would imagine an interesting actually PVP Centric Arena with some very slight PVE elements that actually influence the PVP Situations.
