Aerie Peak 3v3 Arena Tournament With TCG Prizes

What do you guys also think about whenever a team loses a match, the losing team gets to pick next map?

I nominate this be an official rule.

yes please

I think we should just pick 3 maps randomly and then do them in that order; not random map because then you have the chance of getting the same place twice - but I like the idea of not having control over that facet and leaving it up to chance.

I also definitely think people should be allowed to equip their AGMs, but not use them.

 

[Rokku]

If you guys want to reward players with AGM (equipping or using) and give them a little advantage, that's all good.

Just personally, I would really like trying to try to balance the matches as much as we can

I'd like to eliminate as many variables as possible in order give more validity to the outcomes of the matches.I think it is much more rewarding to earn wins or losses through pure skill, with as little influence from gear as possible.

That's what I meant.

Where do we draw the line as a non-hybrid prot?

IMO good call on not random arena. 3 different arenas sounds like a good idea.
Would also like to say that Blades edge is 10 times better then ogrimar arena because of the rather limited LOS options on ogrimar.

Nagrand and Blades edge + perhaps ruins of lordaron.

We should have the first map be Nagrand because it's the most balanced, and the loser picks the next map.

 

[Deadvulcano]

Do the arena at the real nagrand and someone on a flying mount can record?

Also, PvP in MoP: 3v3 Arena - Forums - World of Warcraft

 

[rsq]

While I agree that Nagrand is the most balanced for all classes, I really like the idea of randomization in the maps - leaves an element of surprise and unpredictability.

 

[coolio]

First map should be random, and then whatever team loses picks the next map and vice versa. Its how real tournaments are done at 85. Setting specific maps is not how it should work at all.

 

[Zatox]

I would consider anything over 1k mana a prot hybrid.

We will later vote for the first map, and the loser will pick game 2, and game 3?

 

[Jdoring]

Rokku do you have AGM? Yeah man don't bother equipping something you put a handful of hours into. Might as well not equip your BoA gear either. (oh wait I'm sure you don't have one do you.)

 

[Riotxo]

I'd like to get in on this. I'd also like to point out that everyone defending using AGM's has one or has someone on their team that has one. Biased much? Lets be honest, getting an AGM on AP did not take effort on your part or time. If you have an AGM on AP with the exception of maybe 3 people it's because you got a bunch of 85s to help you get most of them due to luck, being the right faction or having friends.

Moreover, if you really think AGM doesn't make a huge difference then why not take it off? Oh. Right.

You can use that argument both ways. However, I agree with you AGM should be allowed to equipped, but not used.

 

[Jdoring]

Umm Riot, I got AGM with help from an 85 on like 2/12. Back in like November or something. I'm probably not even going to equip it on my Mage though because I need spell pen anyways! Still believe if you cared enough to have AGM you could have it by now so if you don't have it then you don't care an you shouldn't benefit

 

[Earlwing]

AP has been around for 10 months now. If you REALLY want an AGM, you have one. End of story.

no, the the team that lost picks next map. t1 wins first game, t2 picks next map. t2 wins next game t1 picks next map. not hard to understand
you are also going off the thought that there is always a game 3. to my understanding its best 2/3. A certain team can 2-0 and it will be over with. First map is randomized because by selecting one map to start on you can be giving the advantage to certain teams while crippling others, not really fair at all. whose to say some teams want to start on your selected map? first should be randomized.

 

[Medan]

IMO Nagrand IS, like ppl have said, so balanced, that I think it should be the first.
2. map is choosen by looser
3.rd map (if we go to 3 games) is choosen by looser of 2. match.

Quote Coolio "by selecting one map to start on you can be giving the advantage to certain teams while crippling others"
- For a team, and not over all, this is not so difference then doing random and getting a map that majorly favours a team settup, it actually removes some potentional for bad luck. The only teams that wont like Nagrand as first team, in my mind, is heavy burst teams that pray they get Oggrimar arena.
