GIVE US A LIVE DUAL OPTION ALREADY!!!

Please, pretty please?

With so much “trash talk” (all in good fun) out there in global chat. I think it would be crazy to send another online player a dual request (similar to incursion) and slug it out live. Not just from your alliance or friends list or the AI playing on the person behalf, but a dual against an actual online player. I noticed so much “trash talk” (all in good fun) in global chat that I thought this would be awesome to send someone Online a “dual challenge request”. I think you’d see a massive acceptance of this idea. Here’s how I’d like to see it but I’d also use it without reward given. My sons play and they want to to fight me live. But best option I have is incursion with them so this would be cool for that too.

- Player sends dual request to an online player. Can be anyone who is online or was online recently. If player is no longer online when they return a “Live Dual Request” will be in there inbox. Maybe a 24hr window option?

- Both champions would have to be close enough is power by reason. Maybe if the matchup is really one sided the lesser powerful player can have an “I agree option ” if he chooses to use a “questionable champ”.

- The Dual request recipient gets to pick his champion first. NOT THE PERSON SENDING REQUEST.

-Entry for Dual- there should be a entry fee for this. Like 25k gold or something That the winner gets the entry pot.

- “Ante up “ option- this part would be sweet. once agreed to match up players would be allow to choose a “trash talk bet” or “ante up”. This would be optional. Players would be able to pic from a 10 items from their inventory (to start- maybe full inventory list at some point if possible) ie. the dual sending player would be able to send an “ante up” ie. 10 tiles, shards, free gift, iso, catalyst, alphas, really anything. But hard to find options should be included.

“Best 2 of 3” after the first fight. Or at the very beginning of a 1 fight match (sent by the dual sending player)
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE A “PINK SLIP OPTION” Where the winner gets that players Champ. (This would not give winner of a champ a “dupe Benefit” if he has that champ already. But if the player doesn’t have that champ yet. Well.. shouldn’t have been so cocky. Now that’s his champ and you won’t see his in your roster next time… PLEASE MAKE THIS ONE HAPPEN! I understand there may be some cry babies that email and complain. So a wavier or agreement would have to be in place and if possible a age restriction might be beneficial. So Kabaam doesn’t catch too much heat from the cry baby looser.

Even if there is no rewards or options. A live dual is needed. Let’s make this happen

    This would never work with how the game is structured. Think about it, both of you would be stood still blocking because whoever attacks first is even getting hit by a parry or giving them a free intercept. There would be no motive for you to ever risk attacking the other person. Then you have champs like quake where you’d just not be able to hit her without a counter. There are so many other reasons why it wouldn’t work well, the game just isn’t built for that type of thing.

    I think it can be done. Remember the person that send the request isn’t the one to choose the champ. I’m sure something can be figured out. We have satellites around Mars.. I’m sure the game creators can figure it out.

    Great reasoning! Thanks for playing. I’m sure it needs tweaking. But don’t pretend it wouldn’t be amazing to beat a trash talker.

    They have already cleared this in past many times and again in latest dev diary that this game is not for having a real time player vs player fight....

    But you wouldn’t be able to... because nobody can attack. You would literally stand there blocking because whoever makes a move first will lose. Or you’d pick someone with power gain and wait for SP3 and nothing else.

    Sorry, I don’t live online spot checking everything. I did however attempt to find pervious discussion on this with no luck.

    What he said. It might work if our masteries didn’t work during the duel, which would make it fair. Otherwise the winner is determined by whoever doesn’t die out of boredom first.

    I think people are being far too hard on this idea. After he clicks the “I agree button” as the ‘lesser powerful player’ I only see it going uphill from there. Options are endless. We can gift gold, items and even…. Champs. I can think of at least one person who would gift me Warlock for Psylocke right now. We need not determine who ultimately makes out in this deal, it’s none of my concern. Ante up.

    Because the idea doesn't work with the structure of the game, it never will. Also gifting champions is also a terrible idea.

    Wut? That’s not at all what he meant. He is talking about a PvP duel mode. But both are bad ideas anyway.

    The whole thing was sarcastic haha, but that’s how the above ideas could very easily be abused to trade champs. You’d just deliberately lose so the other person gets your champ for free.

    I just reread OP’s post and I realized I missed the part where a player would get the opponent’s champ lol. But seriously OP, what were you thinking when making this post? If an alt gets a doom but your main doesn’t have him, you can purposely lose on your alt to give your main a Doom, as said by the people above.

    It wouldn't work at all. The only way to win would be due to game crashes/bugs/glitches, or mistakes made by players.

    This feels like a hotbed of controversy even as a hypothetical discussion but my main takeaways are as follows...

    •The pink slip option is just begging to be exploited by mercs let alone people who want to power up their second or third accounts. Also nobody in the right mind would ever want to put up their rarest champ in order to prove their superiority. The only people who would really ever even be foolish enough to accept the pink slip challenge are noobs and that alone ensures it's not even remotely a fair fight.

    •As mentioned before there is also a discussion about Mastery setups and whether or not they should even be used in order to ensure the absolute fairness of the fight.

    •Not to mention the reality that we're already having issues with the servers with Alliance events so the amount of data required to activate a live PVP could cause cataclysmic failure if we're not careful.

    Maybe somewhere down the road a version of PVP could exist but you'd have to start off slowly and ensure a fair fight and try to avoid any exploitative aspects otherwise you're going to have a lot of peeved-off people in the community.

    Trash talk in global affects u?.. a duel is a HORRIBLE IDEA... What are both players gonna do? Hold block till u see an opening? Try to parry each other?...

    You only need to ask one question to decide if this will ever happen. Can kabaam monetize this?
