From what we have gathered from the closed premium beta is that the community doesn't like it just being 1 kit every two weeks. Currently it is setup that every 2 weeks, the winner takes home $50 and then the ladder resets and a new kit is chosen. Here we'd like to take some ideas from the community on what to transform it into (we will not make every kit available every two weeks, that's just not feasible with the player base or resetting ranks every 2 weeks.)Here is our current idea, please give us your input:
1. Three kits available every two weeks: BuildUHC, a potion/soup ladder, and a non potion/soup ladder.
2. Either each ladder takes home a smaller prize, or the person who is #1 overall takes home the usual overall prize.
3. Ladders reset after two weeks and the other two ladders get re-randomized.
We do not want the Arena League to be a total replacement for Arena Open, as arena open will have the option for anticheat only matchmaking already if you are premium, nor do we want all competitive players to never mix with open semi-competitive/casual players. Also do note that dueling is coming which allows you to play anyone with any kit. Our goal is to make Arena League a ladder league system that resets every two weeks which will provide consistent, constant, and competitive fighting at the highest level (because players can't achieve a high rating then not play for three months).
Thanks in advance for the input!

When I first saw premium the cycling was something that was of concern, glad to see that its three kits. I think it would be a really good idea if the kits weren't able to be selected, for example you queue up and the system decides what kit out of the 3 you play. Otherwise for example if we had Build UHC, Debuff, and Iron Soup then Iron Soup would get no one, Debuff would get some, and Build would have the overwhelming majority queuing it.Curious as to why build gets in every week though? Aside from popularity it seems rather random, the current system is a good way to encourage players to play more than just one ladder, but with build constant it sort of goes against that. As said arena isn't being replaced and build will still have an overwhelming player base there.

I think every kit should be available but you shouldn't be able to pick it. It would press a queue button and it would queue you a random kit. The problem with not having all the kits is people might not play due to them disliking the ladders on offer. Therefore having all the kits but not being able to pick brings a audience that are more likely to play as they wan to play their favourite kit.Idk this is just my stance

Yeah 3 kits would be a good compromise. All of which should warrant a smaller prize for first placePosted on 06 March 2017 - 06:27 AM
So When it will be able to purchase the badlion premium subscribtionPosted on 06 March 2017 - 06:45 AM
Another question: Is money reward active in beta now? If so you need to look into advertising this prize to act as an incentive, driving people to play the beta. At the moment it seems not many people know about this.Posted on 06 March 2017 - 07:03 AM

BuildUHC is by far the most popular kit on Badlion. It is it's own style of PvP on Badlion and it would be foolish for us to not keep it on a weekly basis since this ladder by itself will always have people wanting to play it. Maybe we would alter between BuildUHC and Iron BuildUHC or something like this.
The idea is to try and promote different ladders but at the same time keep people happy too.

Number 1Posted on 06 March 2017 - 08:32 AM
i would prefer #1 for each ladder with a smaller prize, otherwise all the builduhc players get a global advantage since youre using that every week and i cba to get masters nodebuff 6000 points in 2 weeksPosted on 06 March 2017 - 09:16 AM
Seems hypePosted on 06 March 2017 - 10:04 AM

Having the same three ladders every week would be eventually kinda boring in my opinion and I think that it would be better to freshen up the kits every couple of weeks, so I think that the kit changes would be good. Prizes I am fairly neutral on, but #1 overall would probably edge it for me. 2 weeks seems like a fair timeframe.
