Quote:Drysc posted some details on how the arena system is currently planned out. I missed a few days and had heard of the arena system but hadn't seen much on useful details until now.
There are still some questions... Like how is a team defined? But this does clear up a lot. Looks interesting.
And you know it's an important thread if Kalgan gives some input, this is a summary of several posts from Kalgan:
Mention of poisons was also specifically endorsed.
Forgot to link to the thread:

And here is a link to the wikipedia page on ELO, the proposed rating system:

There are blue replies throughout pages 2-5 at least, I've highlighted the important ones. Current page count is 6, but in an hour I'm guessing more like 20-30.
For once, it seems like they thought this through. Minimum consumables/pots means that one does not have to spend hundreds of gold each week just to stay on top. Minimum cooldowns lets people fight more then once per hour. And minimum outside buffs means people will not spend hours leveling up alt warlocks/buffers for slight advantage in the match. Get in, get a good game, get out. Simple and fun. Kudos.
