Arena Ladder Changes

As some of you are already aware, a bit of a debate came up after an arena match last night. What it boils down to is the fact that changing spawn positions via hopping into and out of observer mode is legal, but unexpectedly effective on one particular Arena map (Minerva). On that map, there is a back invo with a spawn point that, if secured, offers a sizable advantage.

To make sure that switching spawns is equally easy for both teams, I've amended the rules so that each participating player on a team must have admin prior to a match starting.

Finally, Minerva continues to be in the rotation. However, I can see why people might want it removed. This will be put to a vote in the near future, so if you have any other rotation changes you would like to be voted on at the same time (map additions/removals), please propose them here.

Edit: Whether or not scripts/console commands will be allowed to switch teams will be determined by vote in the near future. Upon further discussion, this may have a sizable impact upon the Arena gametype. For the present it's legal, as long as it doesn't lag the server.

heh

Another attempt by Celios to destroy the sanctity of this game. Keep it up champ, love watching you suck the life out of comp.

I am destroying !baby.

shrine arena needs to be removed. That map takes a minimum of 1 hour every time it comes up. Last time 2.5 hours.

It's just broken. One side has no chance to get to nexus on equal ground so it becomes a super defensive map.

DS would do anything to keep every angle of this game in his favor lol, truly pathetic! Go do something with your free time besides memorizing TWL rules, trolling forums, and pushing admins for maps that cater to your liking/unliking.

I think Jewels is trying out for a spot on the angry player power rankings.

lol u mad?

Remove all indoor maps.
Obs hopping should not be allowed once the map starts. (Don't know when this rule got overturned)
Only allow symmetrical arena maps.
Implement a camping timer, otherwise arena maps will go on forever. None of this will happen, so there will always be an advantage due to exploitation. ;-0
Is shrine 2 in the map rotation?

put woodymyrk in the map rotation

it's my fav map d:-)

I wonder if being #1 on both ladders has anything to do with that.
