Hello everybody!
Mistazel here coming at ya live with a new update for Badlion's Arena. Check it out and tell us what you think below!

New Features
New GChat system to better handle auto chat moderation - We've made Arena less toxic. The complaints regarding Badlion's "Toxicity," had always been one we felt needed addressed and our spectacular Dev and Administration team found a great way to handle it. Words like "L" and "Rata" or "Noob" will be automatically handled by GCheats new auto-mute system. Watch yourself players ;)

"Shadow Mute Logic" - To top it off, we've added in Shadow mutes. You'll be able to see yourself saying L or all your other insults towards a player of lesser caliber but they won't. No longer do you have to deal with killing a player and expecting that L to pop into chat when they died.

Increased number of BAC matches in Arena - Impending the release of BLC 2.0 we've made it so when you're playing on BLC you'll have an increased number of ranked games to play daily, just for using the client. A little thank you from our team for downloading and playing on it, free of charge. :D (Additional 20 Games)

Added "ELO Decay" - Tired of seeing a player jump into the top 25 and camp there without playing matches? Like the idea of a rotating top 50 player roster? ELO Decay was made for you. After 7 days of not playing ranked matches in Arena, your ELO will decay by a rate of 10 per day. By playing a ranked match you can reset your decay to 1 day per amount of matches played to a maximum of 10. Meaning: If I haven’t played in 7 days and I begin decaying, I can play 3 games and have a 3 day grace period.

Added "Quick Requeue" - You no longer are forced back into the Arena lobby instantly after finishing a game. You now have to option to requeue for another match and can automatically be thrown into matchmaking/the next game. One of our many efforts to make sure that you're in Arena matches more, and in the lobbies less. You can do so by right-clicking the piece of paper in your 9 slot on hotbar.

Rejoin a Match - It is now much easier to rejoin a game after logging. You no longer have to exit and start a new game or worry about a loss of ELO from an accidental disconnect. You start playing a game, accidentally disconnect, and relogg by going to the lobby or fully reconnecting to the network. You'll get a message that says your game is still going and you can click it to rejoin instantly!

Major Changes
Merged CubeCore kits, and FFA Into Arena - These gamemodes felt as though they were close cousins of the Arena genre, and as such we've decided to make them brothers. They are now inside of the Arena lobby. You can still play CubeCore and FFA freely and funnly, you just now have more people who may be interested in playing with you! Bringing life back to the FFA and CC genres one step at a time.

Synced FFA Chat with Global Arena - Talk with everybody now in your FFA games! Ask others to join or just have a good time brawling it out with 20+ other players.

Minor Changes
-Empty bottles are now automatically removed from your inventory upon drinking a potion dry. No more bottles clogging space in Speed2!
-You can no longer accidentally drop your sword in any Arena game-modes. Whoops!
-At the start of any potion based gamemodes, your drinking of the potions is instant. Right click away and get em gone!

Enjoy the update and tell me what you all think. And DON'T WORRY POT PLAYERS. I've heard your concerns, as has the entire team. We're going to be re-addressing the Speed 2 KB and we've already begun testing with members of the Player Council. I'm always listening ;)

Cheers!
-Angelo

Just a question about ELO Decay. Does it work globally or each ladder. For example if I don’t play archer but Iplay build uhc will my archer elo decay or not?

I like this idea as the banned players will gradually disapear from the leaderboards

It works per ladder, so if you play BuildUHC daily but don't play Archer anymore you're Archer will decay but not your BuildUHC. Ofcourse your Global will start decaying as well if one of the 3 global kits is decaying.

Hype! Love the new ELO Decay system we don't have to worry about banned players being reset anymore.

Posted on 03 March 2018 - 05:19 AM

No, the automatic stat reset system for all gamemodes is still something that badlion needs a lot

Posted on 03 March 2018 - 05:45 AM

True it does, but this does help greatly as in the matter of a few weeks most banned players will be gone from arena leaderboards.

Do ALL of your kits decay? Like if you're a 1400 in NoDebuff because you've never played it will it still start decaying? And does this happen for non-global kits too?

Only dislike the automute system it doesn’t take context into account

Will it show how many days you have left until your ELO is decaying ingame?

Can't wait to try this out! It'll make it easier for staff so we don't have to mute for toxicity as much too

I noob? Ajjaja rata… Is not bad word puto gringo. But -1 for that elo decay thing it's insanely dumb. What if the person can't play or is sick? It's unfair. -1

I don’t really think Elo Decay is necessary but hype for everything else!
