This is how you kill a community which still, as you said exists and is small, pot pvp players don't have a small community at all and the community was here from years ago, would be a shame to just get rid of potion pvp so you sweats can have your build uhc where you shoot all 64 arrows because its fun to bowspam and play like your life is on the line
You obviously didn't bother to check my profile ratings from past seasons when I played on this account as an alt for fun (main is 69ms), I've hit 2.1k in no debuff in a past season averaging 2k on other seasons too, I was talking about the big picture for the server from the eyes of the people who actually run it.

We know that nobody really plays Badlion potion seriously nowadays, that's my point, i'm asking what caused people to stop playing…

I`m sorry, but I see a lot of people saying that "Omg pot community was always full of cheaters". It wasn`t and the reason 40k plus players got banned on practice was because it was so terrible. There is countless of videos where people get banned on purpose.( idc tho if badlion premium turns out good I`ll be happy xd. go archy and gberry! *cringe* )

Going back to my original point is because the potion pvp community on Badlion is now a minority compared to the uhc and build community, there at one point was a massive increase (my guess when the build uhc ladder was introduced) in casual players and in turn when giving different ladders a try, they found that when they joined potion ladders ranked or unranked, they would often get destroyed by more experienced pot players, (not to mention the speed II making it more challenging to land shots) but when trying out ladders like build or specifically ladders that are straightforward and easier to play because of no speed involved making it easier to play.
Because of the difference in skill required to begin playing these ladders it would feel almost more welcoming to anyone to try the easier ladder with more casual players too at their skill rating they just decided to keep playing it more and more getting attached to the ladder because it is the only thing they feel they having potential add with added bit of luck, bowspamming and maybe a lucky combo and how easier it is to kill and be killed they found ladders like these just more fun overall and don't get me wrong the same type of shit happens in pots but to a much lesser degree hence the reason I find it was easier to get a rating of 2k+ elo in build uhc than it is in pot ladders going back to my original point.
Just thought of this on the spot but I think it's a fair guess/answer even though I know there is probably flaws with what I just said though.

That actually adds up and is the only type of post on this thread that I was looking for, thank you.
