Hi, I am also an old battleforge veteran. Though I played mostly 2v2 back then, and some 1v1's. (But I wasn't really good, probably just average).
I loved playing pure frost, shadow / frost or shadow / shadow.
I didn't really mind the t1 differences back then, well atleast not on my elo. I simply played and when I lost really hard, I would look into the forum, like "How to play as X vs Y".
These t1 changes are surely well-thought and probably needed, but maybe they aren't the best start to get more players to play pvp.
(Though, Maybe green would like an "Ice Barrier", which grants immunity to knock-back.)
BattleForge is a very complexe game, especially about balancing. So, I wanted to share just some (out-of-the-box) Idea's here, which I mind-stormed.
1) Increase the starting energy on some maps. Maybe this could bring more variance and help with certain rushes or defending on early t1.
2) Introduce Tier-2 PvP Maps. Before Queueing, you select a monument color, with which you start on the map, and the next unit you summon decides the t2 color / monument.
Though I don't know how easy / difficult this would be.
// Add PvE Elements to make the transition smoother. PvE -> PvP
3a) Add bandits / twilights (1-3 mobs) to the map on key-points or bigger well / orb fields. Then I can decide, if I want to go for a better positioning or an easier well.
3b) Add friendly spawning camps, where every X Seconds an Archer Unit spawns of my T1 Color. (For Beginner Maps / Beginners)
4) Add an Mixed-PvE-PvP Mode, where I have to clear an PvE Camp first, to get to my first wells and tier2.
Dear regards,
