Ladder Melee Rules

[Duel] A winner will be decided by a best of three series. A series is a first to five duels where victory is decided by a margin of two duels
[Start] Both duelers must have "go" over head before walking towards one another to duel
[Running] Point awarded to opponent
[Miss-Click] Continue fighting
[Draw] If neither player survives the walk back to town then neither player is awarded a point
[Strength Glitch] Automatic disqualification is a body cannot be picked up
[Inventory] No items may be used in inventory other then charms
[Token] Automatic disqualification if a token is used mid duel
[Holyshield] May not be used prior to changing gear. Holyshield must wear off or the user may ask to be killed off to remove the casted skill before changing gear
[Chilling Armor] - May be carried over from one duel to the next by non-Zeal classes dueling a Zeal class and any mirror class duels (example: Fury class versus Fury class)
[Inner Sight] - May be cast by Jab classes versus Conc and Zeal classes. Inner Sight is not permitted versus Fury and Wolfbarb classes
[Werewolf] - May be re-cast by Fury and Wolfbarb classes versus all classes except for Conc class

Challenge System

Want to be added to the ladder? Post your JSP account name / Diablo account name / Character name - Class
You may challenge up to two ranks ahead of yourself until you've become top three. You must then challenge one at a time
As the challenger, you must private message the challenged and then post the challenge in this thread
If you cancel your match then you must wait 12 hours until you can challenge someone else
If you lose your challenge then you must wait 48 hours to re-challenge the same person
The duel must be completed within five days and if not then your challenge will be nulled
If you cannot complete your challenge on time then it is the responsibility of the challenged to post why it wasn't completed
If none of you post why it wasn't completed then both parties will receive a dodge
You will be removed from the ladder if you accumulate two consecutive dodges

>> Our intention is to update the ladder's rules as new imbalances are identified. This is a community ladder and we will go with what the majority want. <<

The Fam Ladder

Feel free to join at any time. We will be using the next 3 days to allow initial registration and will post the first update with the inaugural standings on 08/18/2020.

The inaugural standings will be randomly generated. Any characters registered after 08/18/20 will be ranked based on when they posted to register their character - first come first serve.

Why allow Phoenix and Prudence?

We tried banning Phoenix+Prudence in the previous season’s melee ladder.
With no Prudence or Phoenix there were very few options to counter Fortitude and almost all of the zealers ended up using the same Fortitude setup with a different visionary helmet.
The hope is by allowing an array of different setups from the start we will be able to identify what works for this ladder and adjust accordingly.

====================================================================================================================

Class Champions

Top Conc Vacant
Top Fury Vacant
Top Jab Vacant
Top Wolfbarb Vacant
Top Zeal Vacant

These are the top characters of each respective class actively on the ladder

Present and Pending Duels
