Concerns over Arena Round timer after next stat addition

Druss

Hi Guys,

Anyone else concerned about how the addition of fortitude and the expected reduction in one shot kills will result in longer matches and draws as a result in Arena matches.

I suppose it's a case of wait and see and then figure out the meta of course, but was just wanting to see what other people thought.

Apologies if already raised - I did search

a good thing, it may become possible to actually defend.

A maginally related question: Is there an actual effective difference between a loss and a draw? You attack someone above you. If you win, you switch places. If you lose, nothing changes. If it is a draw, what happens?

You keep your position.

So in effect it is the same as a loss... That is dumb.

Yeah, at least you should get a medal and a donut for participating?

@Druss, right now it's possible to win in a minute. We get 5 minutes. I suggest we wait and see.

Actually, if we lose to someone lower, we should swap. That would make sniping/ holding redundant, at the least, a little risker. I'm fine with the present system but if there was to be a change, I'd go with this one.
