This is fantastic news!Posted on 06 March 2017 - 02:22 PM
imo the option of 3 kits from different type of ladder (Three kits available every two weeks: BuildUHC, a potion/soup ladder, and a non potion/soup ladder.) would be good and each top #1 gets a prize. Also if these ladders were randomized so it wasn't the same 3 every week i think that would also keep people actively playing.Posted on 06 March 2017 - 02:25 PM
It seems to me wrong that those who have mac can not enjoy the badlion premiun …Please tell badlion date premiun on mac

You guys need to note that the non potion and potion/soup ladders rotate every two weeks, so one week it might be nondebuff and archer, then the next week is debuff and diamond.Posted on 06 March 2017 - 05:26 PM

I love the idea; queuing just takes more than forever.Posted on 06 March 2017 - 06:18 PM
bow ladder, pot ladder, sg/builduhcDon't think anybody will complain about you swapping off sg and build weekly, and it'd get people playing sg again, which iirc once upon a time was the most popular ladder for the same reason build uhc is today

As much as I know you want people to play, give people variety and on Open people will venture out into different kits and it won't just be Build and NoDebuff that get queued. Hivlik knows this too, season 12's variety was so good in the sense that people PLAYED kits like Vanilla and Horse.

I have direct statistics saying you are wrong. Having any ladders besides these three:
BuildUHC
NoDebuff
SG
is going to piss off more people then people are thankful for.

This makes a lot of sense because they're the two rod ladders, but like this what about kits like Diamond and Soup? Would Soup take a pot slot since it has speed? And Diamond? I personally think it would be better for the actual ladder, but I don't think build is permanent for the sake of being competitive so it may be pointless to try and dethrone the kit.

unfortunately we don't have access to these stats and unfortunately nobody is willing to try other kits. I do support the 3-kit idea though

Looks good but maybe change Build to include SG too (and IronBuild if its coming back) so it would look like this:Rod (Build, SG, maybe IronBuild), Sword (Debuff, NoDebuff, Gapple, Vanilla, Soup and Diamond) and Archer (UHC, Iron, Archer, Horse)
Idk just an idea. I guess you could put diamond in with the rod kits if there are too many sword kits.

Diamond isn't really a bow kit

Yeah? I mean, people don't really have anything to complain about. "Oh no, the same people don't get to win $50 again this session?? How dare those stupid Badlion owners do this!" Build is so popular now not because people care about the competitiveness of arena, but because they find it the best way to practice for real UHCs, among other things. Arena has always been split between practice and raw competition, but this 1v1 league is not, or rather should not be. As far as I can see, this league should be built to be competitive, and not practice as 1v1s have arguably been in the past, and having the same kit over and over for no good reason doesn't make sense to me. Indeed, BuildUHC utilizes a good many talents that you don't see in the other kits, but SG is not too far removed. In fact, and correct me if I'm wrong, I believe SG was the most popular ladder before Build came around. It would appeal to the same playerbase that would take the Build league competitively, while those that use Build for practice still have ample access to Build in duels and on Open.
