This makes it fun as people will often wait to fight select toons but might get beaten to the punch and vice versa. I would want to fix the number of toons to either 2 or 3 but 2 might be too less and 3 might be too hard/boring to deck out. Option 2 looks like more fun. I dont think I have the capacity, patience or know how to run such a thing( if people are interested ) so I am just stating my opinions on ATs and powersets allowed. No stalkers. No same powersets ( although that should be allowed just because someone will be really stupid to put in work for a duplicate) No similar powersets( 2 different blasters is fine but I would want to avoid something like someone using an elec/therm, a sonic/therm and then an ill/therm). Constructive advice and suggestions only please along with nods for approval. If there is good interest someone make a ladder thread where people can announce there lineups and such. |
You might disagree with me but Dueling is not competitive at all it's more a rock paper scissors scenario in this issue, then again it's always been that but now it's honestly a huge joke.

Agreed. Not in all cases. Its usually decently fun when faced against the same AT. Its also a whole lot easier to get going as compared to teams so yes .. mixed bag.

didn't ownage and peril have like 6 toons in the top 10 of the old ladder (at the same time?).
3 toons for ladder: psi/em, mind fire, elec therm. I win. /sarcasm_off
Honestly though, pre i13 i would be for it, now duels are just dmg spam with button smashing. Besides i don't think most "cool kids" here would do duels anyway.
Sry Musey :/

Duels are best between friends and to test builds, unless you are limited to same/very similar ATs the rock/paper/scissors factor kicks in big time.
Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit
