RULES:
-
Game may be played as random or draft. Take garrison and clairvoyance as summoner spells and** DO NOT** use them in the arena.
-
Game must be played on the crystal scar map.
-
The objective of the game is to beat all 5 of the other teams players one at a time 1v1.
-
The dueling ring is the center of the map, a sort of pentagon forms around the Storm Shield crystals. The two bottom bushes are free to enter, however the top two bushes at the top of the ring, and the two on the sides where the teams gather are not allowed. THIS IS AN IMAGE OF THE DUELING RING The highlighted Red pentagon is the dueling area, and the bushes where the teams assemble are marked with stars ** TOP bushes ARE off limits DO NOT use them. http://i.imgur.com/TWQ9qDS.jpg
-
Each team assembles in the bushes directly under the speed buffs near the center of the map where the Storm Shield buffs are located.
-
The teams select one player each for round 1 and send them in at 2:00, after that the winning team sends first, the chosen player must stand in the mid between the two crystals and wait for the losing team to send their champion. *champions that have traps. (nid, teemo, shaco, mao, cait) are not allowed to place ANY traps before the round starts, even if they are waiting for the other team to send.
-
After a champion dies that team selects the next player and sends them out to fight the winner. This repeats until one of the teams has sent and lost all 5 players, and the round ends. *ALL FIGHTS MUST BE 1V1 ONLY. Teammates are not allowed to assist in any way shape or form. *You cannot enter the ring with any allied buff what so ever. Ex. Janna gives Yi her shield buff just before he goes into the ring, this is not allowed.
-
The winning team then caps the top turret ONLY. *if the winning team already owns top, they do nothing. They have 30 seconds to send their champion. *if the winning team does not own top they neutralize it, or cap it depending on the status of the turret.
-
The Storm shield buff is free game ONLY AFTER combat starts at the beginning of the round. *Precapping is when somebody walks into the ring and caps the buff before the other team has a chance to counterpick and send. THIS CAN ONLY HAPPEN at the beginning of the round. *If somebody precaps they must leave the ring and that team must quickly resend another player.
-
If both champions die at the same time and they are both the 5th player from each team, the first kill wins the round. THERE ARE NO TIES IN KOS!!! The game will announce who kills who in the correct order.
-
The game ends when one teams slowly loses all of the health on their nexus.
-
A game may end in teamfights ONLY when a round ends and the winning team has top, and the losing team has less than 75 health left. A round can still be completed in under 80 points. The average being 100 points per round.
13.** Remember do not assist your teammates and DO NOT use the summoner spells in the arena.**
-
When champions like Yorick, Kogmaw, and karthus die, their team may not send a new player until their post death effects are over, UNLESS the other team is trying to cap mid and their opponent cannot stop them. *ex. karthus dies in bot bushes and the mid buff is out of his range, the opposing player starts capping b4 karthus passive ends. Karths team may send a player before his passive is over.
-
The speed shrines are off limits, entering the ring with the speed buff is cheating and will result in the loss of the round for that players team.
-
You can go B at any time to buy as long as its not your turn to go, and you can make it back to the ring in time for your turn. (this is a easy way to give up the Storm Shield to the other team if you B at the wrong time.)
-
ITEM RESTRICTIONS *No aura items, NO EXCEPTIONS. *No Guardian Angel. *Sunfire cape is not an aura. *Consumable items ARE ALLOWED TO BE BOUGHT.
-
If a member of a team goes afk, or DCs, that team sends their first player last. So if player 1 goes first, they also go 5th that round. *The player that goes twice must rotate each round, all 4 players must have gone twice during a round before a player can go twice again.
Draft mode recommended ban list. These champions are selected because they are "anti-fun", and very OP
