Hello guys,
A few know it from our server and allot do not know,
At the 12th of june a new gladiator set will be added (13th of june for europe) So just a tip save your arena points! the season 1 gladiator will be worse than season 2 gladiator!
Also the rating->points will be nerfed, for 5vs5 only sample:
2500 rating=1700 arena points
new patch:
2500 rating=1300 arena points
So this will cause less arena points,
Arena point gain is intentionally different, and this is in-fact not a bug. A typical team will see a small change in their points, but players with very high or very low ratings will see a much larger change. Below is the new formula.
If rating<=1500 then
Points=0.38*rating-194
(note: this calculation can go negative, but will be floored at 0)
If rating>1500 then
Points=1426.79/(1+918.836*Power(2.71828, -0.00386405*rating))
So ... What does it mean ? High-rating Arena teams will loose points, a lot of points And you can check how many here:
