Arena [Exploit/Bug]

**wickermanz** · 01-23-2008

I'm pretty certain this has not been posted before and this is not that big of a exploit but it can give your enemy a little bit of confusion.

What happens is you join the Arena match (1-2 seconds) from when queue finished also make sure you have at least 1200ms latency.

After that you enter the arena match and the gates are already open but at the top of the screen it will say its 1v2 when actually it is 2v2 and since I play rogue warlock in 2s they seem to think its just 2v1 there vs my warlock and rush us not thinking of a proper strategy meaning you may have a better chance of winning.

I have not tried this on 3v3 5v5 but I assume it would work as well.

note. this does not work all the time you just need to get your timing right hard to do i know.

Looks like it would give you a decent advantage, except for the fact that the other person wouldn't be able to buff or give out healthstones without wasting mana/reagents. Pretty neat though.

seems like this is based totaly on the assumption that they assume they are doign a 2v1 during a 2v2 pvp arena, seems kinda silly.

well I do not think you would win with a 1200 latency also with no healthstone but + rep because this is a nice find.

In a higher rated arena the other team will be able to quickly adapt and know their own strat vs. your team make-up.

But i could see the use in a lower rated area or arena (- the buffs/consum's)

It's not really a decent find. Even if they rush in, in higher brackets you wont be able to get the upper hand. This is only relavant if you are way under 1500 rating and fighting opponents in blue gear. Hell, I doubt you'd be able to 2 man zerg anyone who even has welfare epics.

Abusing latency works best for a rogue. As for your post, your really not getting an upper hand even if you are rushed. You arent even fully able to buff. No offense.

worth a shot I guess

Got tricked by this in arena, this is quite usefull for double dps teams.

I'm rated currently 1944 BG9 , yet i do agree that its not a BIG advantage but you would be surprised how many people wouldn't expect blind etc because of 2v1 and trinket the first fear.

i want my shoulders
