Coliseum Idea

[Lady_Baloo_XL]

Hi!

I don’t know if anyone else agrees, but I think the Coliseum battles should be set up more like the war battles. Instead of instantly being booted when one team loses, all 3 teams should get to battle their opponents. Best 2 out of 3 wins.

It’s illogical to me that you have 3 teams picked only to have one or two actually battle because one loses. I just don’t understand how the previous team effects the following team since they’re all different characters.

I’d love to see this change and would make Coliseum far more appealing to me.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

When going against a tough opponent, winning all 3 may be difficult, but if you put time into countering their lineups and win, it feels much more rewarding.

I wouldn’t mind seeing how all 3 battles go. However winning 2/3 wouldn’t be nearly as fun.

When coli was first introduced as a game mode in DS, that was actually how it worked. It was soon changed to the current setting, mostly for 2 similar reasons -

• it made setting defence pretty tricky, as you had to consider that one of your teams would essentially be pointless. For weaker players it made it a lot harder because they had to spread out their power, not just stack 1 strong team.

• it made attacking relatively easy, because you could essentially completely ignore one of the defending lines (ie. the strongest) and go all-out on the other two lines.

Basically, it sucked even more for weaker players. The 3 win format was pretty much universally considered to be better when it was introduced.

That said, I do think Coli needs a revamp - the power divide / chasm / something-measurable-in-light-years - makes it really too difficult to win even a single battle for anyone not competing at the very top. Most guilds have resorted to having 1 high powered person get into a high challenger position, then lowering their defence for whoever else in the guild can take advantage. Not much good for those outside challenger, though
