Ok I think all the updates are current. If they're not then they will be soon. I know sentry has a team now but either didnt see it yet or hasnt been posted.
Again, getting things updated as soon as I can

@PiP3R

Things are looking good guys!!
6 solid teams is awesome. I hear there's a seventh getting together, but we'll see. So if there's 6 teams, and each teams battles each other two times during the league, then that's 12 weeks of matches; not bad at all. And all these teams look solid and strong. I'm happy to see this.
Remember, kickoff is Sunday Sept. 9th!! So now is prob the time to start setting up some practices. I'll be in contact with some of u guys to set up some sparing matches n stuff. My team will be practicing every tues and thurs night if anyone wants to coordinate something.

Another thing. In the beginning the roster number was limited to help prevent teams from getting to many ppl and help promote more teams to form. Since the teams are pretty solid at this point, I'm going to talk to Kali about allowing an increase of ppl on each team roster. Some teams have already requested this citing it may help to make sure there's enough teammates on match night and what not. Personally, I see a person in free agents that I would like to pick up if allowed.

Thoughts and opinions on this?? Stay tuned for this decision guys.

Again, awesome to see things coming together the way they are!!

Yea Frozen Viper and I were talking the other night about a team captain vote. I understand the points made, which are good points, but still have strong feelings countering those points.
For example. There's the argument that to many incans will generate heals almost impossible to break through. But on the other had to much interface and judgement will bring to much dmg to the table. So I guess the way I saw it was don't they sorta balance each other out on a larger scale? I mean, yes everything would be more extreme, but it would be in both directions. And since there hasn't been a league with anything other than alpha only, we thought it would be a new fun thing to try.
Having said that, if a vote for alpha only brings more participation, then, in the spirit of having a bigger league and making everyone more happy, I wouldn't be opposed to that!!
So we DO have an open mind about how things should go, buts lets discuss a little more and get a few more opinions to weigh in =)

@PiP3R

Where is Obs in all of this?? He had a team for the lvl 5 ladder ealier this year

This is the official team roster and free agent thread:

http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showt...61#post4321161

Here's the official team roster list for The Throwdown! It will be updating as the teams sign up. Also, this is the free agent list. If your looking for a team you can post, and if you see a team forming that you like/know, you can pst them to see if they have a spot available. And if teams need an extra member or two they can look at the free agents.
GLHF!!

GLHF!!

Understood!!

Stalagmites and earth control are good to go.
I was thinking about this...
Since its not broken anymore, but people might still be worried about it,
that would be a good reason to take clarion if they didnt want to take emps or pain doms. And if they did take an emp or pain dom then problem solved; but there's not really a problem now is there?
Viva la incarnates!!

Also, I plan on starting a thread today for official team signups and free agents out there. My team is almost formed, but will be posting it just to reserve a spot and let people know we're out there. I will also be letting other teams that I know are getting together to post so we can get this thing rolling!!
And in case some teams need a few more people, I'm going to make the same thread a free agent thread. I will just keep updating the begining of the post with teams that are signed up.

@PiP3R

KAY HERE'S THE UPDATE!!

I understand the feelings toward a team using 5 incans, but there's some other things to consider. If a team DID take 5 incans, then they would have no protection from end draining (ageless). So if the team wanted to be well rounded, they might not all take incan. The other thing is if incan was banned all together, then poisons would completely knock out a teams heals.
Thoughts?

I also agree with Kali about looking into these broken powers and possibly limiting some of the incarnates. We will discuss this and keep you updated. Thanks again for the info!!

@PiP3R

SUMMER PVP LEAGUE 2012,

THE THROWDOWN!!!



Presented by Kali @Kalibash and Evo @PiP3R
Start getting your teams ready pvpers, the summer league is here! Talks about this have been going on for some time now. There are already teams ready to go, there are teams that just need a few more members, and there are even more teams that will surely come together once hearing of this chance to show their strength. So start spreading the word and let's get this thing going!!!

Getting right down to business; the setup:
This will be a 5v5 PvP League. We feel that at this point, 8 man teams might be asking to much, so in the spirit of having as much participation and teams as possible, we're going with 5's. Also, 5v5's will probably promote more innovative lineups than traditional 8 man teams; which will probably translate to more fun! Travel suppression and heal decay will be turned off (as if that needs mentioning). Small inspirations only.
Incarnates:
All ExceptLores.This is the general feeling of most the community. If something is legitimately broken, like the control hybrid was, then we can discuss and have it possibly ruled out. This setup and these rules will be evolving as the participating community sees fit. But for now, all but lores is the rule. There was some concern that the damage hybrid did more damage than it was supposed to, but I hear that was fixed; as was the control hybrid. Some have suggested alpha only, but most feel that everyone has worked so hard and long on incarnates, that they should be a part of the league; however all agree that lore pets would be too much.

Power and AT limitations:
This will be consistent with the most recent past leagues. No TK. Especially since this is only 5's, TK will just be more ridiculous than normal. Only 2 stalkers per lineup (do we rlly want a team of 5 stalkers?).Only 3 masterminds. More than three mm's will just make targeting ridiculous. If the poison controller hold is still broken, then that will be banned also; not sure if that one was fixed yet. To my understanding, the dark hold has been patched, so that is good to go. Again, this is an evolving setup, so if there are any other powers declared broken out there, we can and will revisit the restriction list.

Roster setup:
Teams will be limited to a roster of 7 members. Since matches will be 5v5's, it’s really unnecessary to have a team with a roster of 15 people. At the same time, in case a member of the team can't show for a match or practice, an extra person or two on the roster will help with that. AND, it should also promote more team formation. If your team ONLY wants five people on the roster, that's fine. I also understand some people have two accounts. So if one person wants to play characters from both accounts, that's fine,Both accounts just can't be played at the same time.

Match times and ranking setup:
Officials will be held on Sundays @ 9 eastern. Teams must be in listed arena event 15 min after start time of their scheduled match. If that same team has still not showed up after 30min have elapsed from the time of the scheduled match then the absent team will be disqualified. If both teams agree to have the match a little later than normal schedule, that's fine. A Print Screen copy of the agreement from the two teams with approve this. Like everything else, this is also up for discussion (the official match times). If most people feel 10 pm eastern is better, that can be adjusted; but it's probably unlikely considering many people have to work Monday morning. Regular practices between teams can be worked out between each other. Our hope is that each team will battle each other two times during the regular season. So if we get seven teams then there will be fourteen weeks of regular season matches. If there are eight teams then sixteen weeks of regular season matches; pretty awesome!! Rankings will be simple. Each two out of the three Sunday night matches won, is one win. Teams with the most wins at the end of the season will get the playoff spots. Playoffs will consist of semi-finals and then the finals.
The rewards for the winning team are TBA. Stay tuned for that one!


TARGET STARTUP DATE IS SEPTEMBER THE 2ND!!!!!!! This should give players enough time to get back and get characters incarnated and slotted. Also, it will allow teams to get practices in and lineups ready for the season.

There will be another thread made for team rosters and adjustments!!
If there any question, feel free to pst @Kalibash or @PiP3R
