We uh, might be announcing something with Proving Grounds in place of the Smite tournament. Stay tuned!Twodavez wrote: I think an All Random All Mid using the new Proving Grounds Map would be fun.

What's the average level that people get to before the game is over?
I just wanna know what to anticipate as i've never really played anything less than 3v3...

Hate to be that guy, but both sides of opinions are needed here. I feel first tower/first death is especially rough, as there is no room for comebacks.

On that, I could see Anivia being super OP at this, pushing poking walling farming and not losing an inch of ground. And even when attacked, she won't die the first time. Would you handle her egg as a death, or rely upon the in-game statement of death to determine it? Or just ban her?

Leonresevil2 wrote: As with the official ARAM tourney, the general concept is definitely aimed for fun, as it's just not competitively balanced. The TF2 case was the simplest case I could think of for a competitive game that is designed with innate roles and counters. Another analogy would be would be to have a starcraft tournament but say you could only bring one combat unit to the midfield and first to die loses. At least there you wouldn't have a loading screen telling you what the enemy will be using, but still it's inconsistent. The main reason the early game meta fell off was because teams could work to push games late and just hold out.

I could see it being random fun bouts, but I guess that's the main issue of mine, calling it a tournament instills the ideas of LoL streams and matches either side could win. I feel this wouldn't have the same odds, but it can be fun as long as it's not taken butthurt-seriously.
I'll add I feel this could be more fun with SMITE, as it's different and a change of pace.

Sorry if someone mentioned that, just my 2cents
Twodavez wrote: It's goign to be a blind pick right? It's 1v1, so even if a counter is picked, they're going to have to play them the right way.
I wanna play some regular 3v3 or 5v5 ARAM also if anyone else is interested. I think that woudl honestly make for a more fun tourney than a 5v5 especially since they have the map designed for it (the proving grounds). It's quicker than a normal 5v5 and really pushes some players like myself who mainly focus on a few champs to be good (i say that very lightyly) with.
There is no jungle to farm, just epic battles in the middle that require death to go back and heal/buy which can be a good thing...

I'll need a few warm up games with the free champs that i don't own. I kinda wish it would just give you the champs you own instead of all that are available.. I only own ones that i i've played and at least have an idea of what i'm doing.

But not knowing what you are doing is half the fun of ARAM.
