ban life rep stacking, high life rep incentivizes 20+ minute duels and nothing else.


For TvT only.... Not banning incentivize 1 hour+ duels...

any time someone relies on life rep it involves running around for 20 minutes which is what everyone hates. But I get your point

Just thinking of limitations that equally impact both players with the sole intention of preventing 3 hour long duels

Cta has rep - ban cta


I'm saying stacking it with rings etc is something to look at. CTA by itself isn't enough life rep for people to want to drag a duel out hours.

I think unlimited mana by mods is another thing to consider. Right now optimal strategy is to utilize something like sitting in traps, 200 FCR, or charge with combination of life rep. Cant get hit but you utilize mod mana to keep flying around the map with rep life. If your build requires more than 3 mana belts than maybe its an abusive strategy.

After about 20 minutes both people may start to get low on mana. They would have to start to make decisions / sacrifices which would lead to someone making a mistake. Traps / Shadow master can be expensive over time. The 2-3 belts of pooled mana per person could be your sudden death timer.

Unfortunately banning/reducing life rep and mana pool isnt going to eliminate pride gameplay. The same people will do it either way

I don't agree that people would run around for hours relying on 12 life rep. I would think it is worth testing instead of making the assumption.

Life rep incentivizes dragging duels out longer. If you knew you had more life rep than your opponent then optimal gameplay involves running away.

I offered 1v1 Kick Vs Kick First to 1 instead of trap vs trap but he denied it and prided the moment we said go

I aggro'd him until low life then i rep'd life until i was able to chase again

HE sat in the middle of the map on a small dual box map casted on mana 24/7 and took adv of it as i c/t'd circles around him for over a hour

Again its trap vs trap this is what happenss

Thats why i ask for 1v1 kick only but ya !
