    Thinking of starting up something along the lines of the title, rewards would probably include expensive pets if there were x-realm winners (as well as bragging rights) or gold on one of my two main servers. There would be either 1v1 arena war-game matches so people could get their scaling on or just old-school /duel matches in somewhere like Dalaran Sewers or on a PvE phased server somewhere to avoid ganking etc. I'd like to hear thoughts on this and some opinions for the rules. So far I'm thinking there would be specs like Feral and brew banned as well as a strict NO HEALERS to maintain a little balance.

    Let me know if you'd like to see something like this in the future and how you'd like to see it play out.

    yes.. I'd love to see it/be apart of it, but if not involved directly by playing in the competition if it happened, then id step up and be apart of the group that form the rules of what goes and whats banned for this.... might need more bans than just those!

    lol maybe even a league of legends style ban-opt(not 6 class obv) since many people have more chars, maybe even make a 2class requirement to do the tourny and then people can ban the direct counter they dont want to have to bother getting ez'd by to get something else. Example: potentially Mages competing landing matchup against a sham banning enhance as a result to not get the auto lose to literally any enh

    edit: high ''right out of the air'' ideas literally pulled out of thin air, i sadly honestly think it would be bad cuz it cuts out people from making it into the tourny who cant have another char, which fucks up a certain # of the playerbase.... but also makes it so theres no fucking class diversity at all because enhances and rets are gonna have simply no chance to lose vs over half the classes, then if that was even taken out then the amount of banned classes is like half of the available classes total smh

    lol 1v1 just to imba to not have bans or organized brackets of not having class matchups being imba which MIGHT work if expounded on and done to perfection in the setup of the 1v1's to be fair class wise..

    MAYBE this is why 1v1 tournies dont work and rarely happened or have been known to anyway XD:D

    So you're thinking each person who enters gets to have 2 characters to potentially switch between and the option to ban one of the opponent's, I would say potentially two specs and not something as broad as two classes with the option of any spec in each class. Of course you could play two specs in the same class though, like arms / fury or enhance / ele.

    I agree and disagree with this because I know personally the only real competition for my ret are enhance shaman and a brewmaster monk, and in certain situations a feral druid. So some more bans might be coming out, but for now I'll say I do like this idea and want to know more people's opinions on it, where's all the replies at guys?
     
    So what you are stating is no healers are allowed, because DPS can't beat healers in duals?
    And then you want to be able to pick the your opponent's weakest spec so you have the best chance of beating them?
    In other words, you all want to stack the deck in your favor as much as possible to ensure yourselves a win, otherwise you probably won't even try it.
    Do we have this correct?
    Because we already have ALL heals banned, BM banned, feral banned, someone complaining about enhanced, and someone questioning the validity of allowing ret Paladins.
    Wouldn't it just be easier to list the classes/specs you want to dual or the ones you think you all can beat?
    Good luck!
    Have a wonderful day.

    /cheers

    WTF is a 3's match without 1 heal, Nocontest, Atkme, and me for thug cleave. Get at us.
     
    3s /2s obv works so much better, 1v1's will have so many stipulations lol, things that will auto win cuz 1v1 is a bad playing field for a bunch of the classes, and easy for some others

    but yes banning seems like the only thing that would go and make shit happen in a good way, specs like lenny said is better than classes altogether but i can tell you already even just with that, theres still a significant # of classes that just cant take a 1v1 win against particular classes

    shaman against mage is an example, any spec shaman can honestly type /lol over and over mid combat while he plays his char and still beat the mage, even the best mage possible lol theres not enough opposing mechanics to handle the ones shaman as any spec brings against a mage
     
    This is about setting up a dueling competition and the rules around it, if you want a 2s / 3s competition this isn't the thread to talk about it. Keep this on topic please.

    Like I said we might end up having to ban ret pally all together because it's pretty much unbeatable 1v1, I have noticed this after playing one for so long in this bracket. Doesn't mean this can't still be fun.
     
    Nothing is set in stone yet guys, so don't get your panties in a knot over your favorite fotm getting banned. Just keep it on topic for once
     
    A new idea popped up, courtesy of a friend, where there could be a tournament for each class to duel their own class. For example a strictly rogue tournament where only rogue's would duel each-other without stealth and a prize for the top contender in each class specific tournament. There would be no weapon enchants like crusader or elemental force allowed to avoid games being won due to RNG. As well as a class specific competition we would have a "Grand Tournament" of sorts for any and all classes to compete with a few spec's banned.

    Let me know what you all think, I'm trying to get something new on the table for people to enjoy so I want as much feedback as possible.

    P.s. afk'ing from duels is not allowed and will result in immediate elimination.

    Sounds fun for an informal event, anything past that and it will be riddled with 100 rules to try to balance the in- balanceable 1v1 scenario. You can't allow healers. Anytime one healer versus another it generally don't end unless one healer is doing literally nothing

    This isn't going to be a TwinkCup event, just something fun with a little incentive to get some activity on something other than forums. I hope we can keep it simple enough to be enjoyable for everyone while still staying competitive.

    If I rigged up some polls that lasted 1 day where people could vote for stuff like, "Should all healer classes be banned?" "Should weapon enchants be allowed?" could I expect enough votes to continue with confidence?
     
    so ret would be likely banned, would i be able to play enhance sham then when ret is banned? Pretty sure ima rape the entire thing w/ ferals&rets out of the question
     
    Going to be doing a series of these straw poll's to see people's opinions on rules / regulations.

    Straw Poll

    Here's the first one on whether ALL healing specs should be banned, if 51% + say yes there will be no further polls about this.
    I'll rig up a few more and post them all at once tomorrow if this one sees results.
