20s Arena War Game Discord [EU]

[Ivo]

Hello everyone!

A few guys from the EU arena community made an arena server with a similar goal as the US one https://xpoff.com/threads/20s-arena-discord.96764/ . Everyone who wants to play is welcome regardless of skill level. We have all kinds of players ranging from absolute noobs to multi glad players. Both 2s and 3s.

Our goal is to have regular war games and a place for people interested in 20s arena to find matches.
Both Alliance and Horde are welcome.

We also have a few rules to make games balanced and comps diverse.

1. No hunters - obviously
2. Only one of these is allowed per team: Disc, Arcane, Arms, Destro (not final). Reason: more diverse comps, giving chance to other healing specs and overall fun games rather than playing the same disc/mage comp every game.
3. https://www.wowhead.com/item=11808?ilvl=26 on-use effect is banned. You can still equipt it. Reason for that is mana should be a win condition and should be perserved.
   
4. No items above ilvl 28
   
5. No grandfathered items and abilities
6. No https://www.wowhead.com/item=647/destiny?ilvl=28, https://www.wowhead.com/item=9394?ilvl=25
7. No sader-swapping
8. Warrior talent https://www.wowhead.com/spell=29725/sudden-death is also banned. Reason for that is no one likes 2.5k crits out of nowhere

Newbies can play anything they want. Reason for that is we don't want to discourage people who want to see what arena games look like but only have hunter or don't have items to swap out GF'd ones etc.

You can find more info on discord: https://discord.gg/AaJb8ZXsNM
Share with your friends and let's make 20s arenas popular on EU as well.

If i may suggest. I like the bans you made, however i think circle of flame is good for competitive games. If you play against classes that have a ms debuff, games will last 1 min without circle. Its also a mecanics that needs to be learn. When can you drink when can you not. Also damaged yourself so you can be a swap target. Anyway just proposing that youd consider it i think its good to have.

After tala nerf if its not banned its a pretty meme decision.

Hey, Im one of the main guys driving arenas on EU. Just like at 60 drinking is an important aspect of the game, thats why we are still allowing people to use mana drinks. We found that circle reduced the risk of going for a drink and the reward of it vs mana drinks was much higher than we wanted.

Another reason we want to use drinks over circle is to stop drinks you just have to get them in combat, Circle you have to use CC to do so.

Most games last 1-2minutes anyway and thats purely down to damage and not mana. Very rarely do we find that mana becomes an issue. Obviously, the tier list we are using is changing up the meta quite drastically and that might change the impact of mana and if so we will review the use of circle but for now we're quite happy to keep it banned. ty for the suggestion tho
