I will still do my best to update daily, was just saying that because I wanted to feel out this new college semester before possibly letting everyone down b/c of my busy schedule.
After a lengthy discussion with several esteemed Ghostly participants, I have decided that this ladder requires an overhaul... Anyone who was a part of our last ladder recalls a time when all forms of WWsin variants were allowed. In an effort to keep the entire purpose of such a ladder (ie: mirror-matches) true to traditional "Ghost" values, I hastily banned such items (Fort, Bramble, Nats, etc.) I now see that instead of outlawing these builds, they should be wholeheartedly included in our GvG roster. This weekend, myself and a few others will set aside some time to develop three separate divisions to encourage use of all possible builds and dueling strategies, so that we may refresh the true purpose of a mirror-match.
What you can expect?... The plan, in its infancy is going to look something like this:
Division 1: All WWsin vs WWsin. I foresee this basically as being a BvB ladder for Assassins. Naturally, traps must be level 1 base, but shield builds as well as just about any armor variant may be allowed. I am considering outlawing Teleport completely as well to make things even more interesting.
Division 2: Speed based builds. This division will be intended for Ghosts who prefer employing speed and bleed tactics to win duels. The only new requirement will be no less than 65% FCR allowed. Budget friendly to encourage new participants, due to the overwhelming success in utilizing a simple 102% FCR setup with Chaos of Fury.
Division 3: Power based builds. True to what most ghosts currently employ, the participants of this division will focus on brute force combined with the traditional Enigma based GvG match-ups. The only new requirement will be no more than 64% FCR allowed. Yes, you read that correctly, 64% MAXIMUM. To all those GvGers who want to test the power of their top-tier fool/cruel claw builds, this is the division for you.
*Note* Anyone may participate in any of the divisions, so long as they follow the rules..
For the time being, this thread will continue as normal (update probably tonight), and will also be open to feedback on this new concept. Questions, comments, concerns are appreciated. Lets make this ladder enjoyable for everyone. Uh oh, ULTRAwwDEATHRAY has been summoned
