From what I have seen (the first stream and parts of the youtube), aru simply wasted too much time in the early game, he even returned to his town after defeating the gatekeepers, something that slowed
him down quite a bit. Time is precious in this game, but on this map its even more precious, as the middle is the area where all the goodies are and Frogo had them all while aru didn't even get there.

I know he didn't get the skills he prayed for, but leveling up heroes and dealing with the early creeps with poor skills is a skill of itself, and his level ups were very messy.

Perhaps I should challenge him now, as both of us lost to Frogo (I lost many times to Frogo). Even though we have very different play styles. So perhaps it would be even. I hope he streams that one as well. It should be fun.

I actually told him i d love to see that match up aswell


And these two dont linger around for to long.
Next up we have:

Bulya vs aruarian on Deadly environment  (heroes will follow, they didnt decide yet)

I dont think anyone is doubting aruarians abilites, but he still has to prove his metal. And for this he goes up straight against Bulya, who still sits on top of the Hall of Fame!

And most importantly:
aruarian will once more stream it!
>>Saturday at ~7 PM CEST<<
@  https://www.twitch.tv/aruariantv

I m hyped for this one!
So call your mom and tell her you cant make it to her 50th birthday-party or tell your gf you need some space. Just do what has to be done to get saturday eve free. Make yourself a nice tea, some popcorn and chill out on aru's stream while these two battle it out

EDIT:
and they ve made up their minds.
aru stays loyal to his undead friends while Bulya will fight for the living:
Bulya(Irina) vs aruarian(Lucretia)

And we have our next match on the way

There is 2 gladiators currently having a streak and one thing is sure:
After this match, it will only be one left (actually.. if aru vs bulya finishes first, then maybe not).
Either way, the next fight is:

Bandaro (Dougal) vs frogo (Sheltem) on Let's Fight!


Also ppl: dont forget aru vs Bulya tomorrow on arus stream

**SPOILER for whoever wants to watch Arus vids on youtube**

Aruarian vs Bulya on DeadlyEnvironment. The crowed in the arena has never been bigger! Latest stream sadly had some internet probs, but some hardcore viewers watched it anyway
A fight of dead vs living comes to and end. And in the end, everything is dead:

aruarian(Lucretia) defeats Bulya(Irina) on deadly Environment.

Aru surprises Bulya (should ve bought that map ) and his necropolis army comes out on top!
Two (IMO) equally strong gladiators,
but only one can be victorious and an amazing performance throughout the whole game eventually gets rewarded.

With that, we have our first Ladder game completetd aswell and a new gladiator rises into the Hall of Fame!

HALL OF FAME:
Bulya [streak: 2 used: Duncan, Yrwanna]
frogo [streak: 2 (ongoing) used: Isabel, Kaspar]
Bandaro [streak:1 (ongoing) used: Duncan]
aruarian [streak:1 (ongoing ) used: Lucretia]

Part 1 and 2 can already be found on arus youtube, part 3 will follow soon:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiKyXF60C9PFaJWWpHV6VVw

And the best news: These two arent done yet!

They will fight it out once more, details will follow. I m certainly ready for round 2 with these two

Fellow gladiators and viewers,
today i present to you some intresting stats about the heroes that have fought in the arena so far.
Obviously, given the amount of heroes existing in 5.5
and the sheer amount of factors that come together to create these results,
i am aware that this is far from being significant data.
Its just a fun little overview that i plan to update over the course of the Arena (+ Ladder games will also be included).
For now, we look at the following results:


Heroes picked:

Hero        times picked          winrate

Yrwanna      2+2                   50% counting 2 games
Duncan         2                  100% counting 2 games
Lucretia       2                  100% counting 2 game
Isabel         1                  100% counting 1 game
Kasper         1                  100% counting 1 game
Grok           1                    0% counting 1 game
Gorshak        1                    0% counting 1 game
Ossir          1                    0% counting 1 game
Findan         1                    0% counting 1 game
Vidomina       1                    0% counting 1 game
Irina          1                    0% counting 1 game
Dougal         1                    ?% counting 0 games
Sheltem        1                    ?% counting 0 games
           ______
             18


divided in might/balanced/magic (winrate only against heroes of diffrent focus):

might         16                  100% counting 2 games
balanced       1                    0% counting 1 game
magic          1                    0% counting 1 game


divided into factions (winrates only against other factions)

Haven          5                    75% counting 4 games
Necro          4                   100% counting 2 games
Dungeon      2+2                    50% counting 2 games
Inferno        2                     0% counting 1 game
Sylvan         2                     0% counting 1 game
Stronghold     1                     0% counting 1 game
Fortress       0                     -
Academy        0                     -


I have also included heroes that were picked,
but have not finished their games yet (right now thats Sheltem vs Dougal). Yrwanna was picked (2+2) times because one time it was a yrwanna mirror where players had to repick.


________________________________________________________

The one thing standing out here is the absolute domination of might in what heroes are picked. My personal opinion on that subject:
Magic is underrated currently (well, kinda hypocritical statement, given i aswell only picked might as of yet ). I think the stun nerf will make ppl look more into magic and see its strength

@Galaand thanks, that helps a lot


Also, today once again two gladiators met in the arena!
Frogo and Bandaro fought it out on Let's Fight this time.
Bandaro once more put his trust into Haven, but this time it didnt work out for him.

Frogo (Sheltem) defeats Bandaro (Dougal) on Let's Fight!

Both heroes had their bedut in the arena.

This also sets a new record in the Hall of Fame:


HALL OF FAME:

frogo      [streak: 3   (ongoing) used: Isabel, Kaspar, Sheltem]
Bulya      [streak: 2             used: Duncan, Yrwanna]
Bandaro    [streak: 1             used: Duncan]
aruarian   [streak: 1   (ongoing) used: Lucretia]



You want replays?
Well, i m not the streamer - aruarian is So dont forget,
he will very likley be streaming another Gladiator match of his on friday 8CEST!

Every fight in the arena tells its own unique story, even if not always a pleasant one. Our latest match was unique in many ways, even though in certain aspects we would ve probably preferred it to be more standard. After groundhog day 7 and very tough luck for Bulya, he eventually feels forced to throw the towel.

aruarian (Vinrael) defeats Bulya (Irina) on DeadlyEnvironment!

It may not necesarrily be a match to remember, but it still sets 2 records:
First game to end without player interaction and first game that was not won by a might hero.

And now some good news:

Aru extends his streak and clims up in the Hall of Fame:


HALL OF FAME:

frogo      [streak: 3   (ongoing) used: Isabel, Kaspar, Sheltem]
Bulya      [streak: 2             used: Duncan, Yrwanna]
aruarian   [streak: 2   (ongoing) used: Lucretia, Vinrael]
Bandaro    [streak: 1             used: Duncan]


And some even better news:
Lately there has been some tech-trouble with Arus stream.
It seems like everything is figured out by now (small dip in vid-quality, but i personally dont mind).
So we are in for some less rocky quality commentary and heroes gameplay by Aru it seems, most likely starting this eve

More great things are to come!

sure thing

And Gendbend doesnt stay in the waiting room for to long either!
Some of you might've even seen it on his stream already:

Gendbend (Lucreatia) goes up against Bulya(Godric) on DeadlyEnvironment!

So this means we may get some streams from a 2nd streamer!
https://www.twitch.tv/gendbend  


Also coming up:

aruarian vs frogo (details not decided on yet)
Im definitley hyped to play some myself again, allthough that means i miss arus stream .

In order to grow, we need leave our comfort zone and experiment with things. Surely, this does not always work out, as it was the case for Bulya. Godric was a bold pick which he ended up struggeling with.

Gendbend(Lucretia) defeats Bulya(Godric) on DeadlyEnvironment!

With this victory, Gendbend goes straight into the Hall of Fame right after entering the arena!

Great news people!

Thanks to Bulya, the gladiator arena now has its own page.
This will help a lot with keeping things organised.
Everything (challenging players, picking maps/heroes, viewing standings/Hall of Fame) can be easily done on the new page

The site is connected to the MMH5.5 discord server, so people will receive a discord message when they were challenged.

For any gladiator, signing up is mandatory, as everything will be managed over this site.

Gladiator Arena

Well done Bulya

With Bulyas site being up and running now, i ll probably not post here as frequently anymore, as most things can be seen on the site

I ll still surely give an update now and then, like now

With aru being on a good run lately, he challenged frogo, but sadly run out of luck in that game.
As last time when frogo and aru met, its a mirror, this time a dungeon mirror:

frogo(Kastore) defeats aruarian(Yrwanna) on DeadlyEnvironment!

We also had another match going on, between Bulya and Gendbend.
The two were on an even pace throughout the whole game, but in the final fight Gends superior artis and !80SP! dark magic casts made Gend come out on top.

Gendbend(Raven) defeats Bulya(Rutger) on DeadlyEnvironment

Both games had an effect on the Hall of Fame:


HALL OF FAME:

frogo      [streak: 4   (ongoing) used: Isabel, Kaspar, Sheltem, Kastore]
Bulya      [streak: 2             used: Duncan, Yrwanna]
aruarian   [streak: 2   (ongoing) used: Lucretia, Vinrael]
Gendbend   [streak: 2   (ongoing) used: Lucretia, Raven]
Bandaro    [streak: 1             used: Duncan]


Also we welcome Helmut for signing up (via Bulyas page) to the Gladiator Arena !

A lot is happening in the arena and so its about time i give you guys an update

First, I d like to welcome our latest 2 gladiators:
iancudorinmarian and Stats4Life joined the arena!

For those of you who followed arus and gends stream will know:
Bulya hasnt been on a good run lately.
But he didnt let that pull him down and is fighting his way back up:

First, Bulya met one of our newer gladiators, Helmut.

Bulya (Irina) defeats Helmut (Laszlo) on DeadlyEnvironment!

Its been a rather convincing victory for Bulya, but this shouldnt get to Helmut at all! DE is a difficult map to play on and Bulya is a strong opponent. The fight is only over when you dont get back up Also, this has been a debut for Laszlo in the arena.

iancudorinmarian aswell didnt wait long until jumping into a match and challenged Bulya:

Bulya (Sheltem) defeats iancudorinmarian (Dougal) on ARMG jebus!

Once more, Bulya comes out on top, but this one was a very close call. Bulya survived the final fight with only 10 imps left!
Surely iancudorinmarian will leave his mark in the arena

Bulya now stands strong at a streak of 2, equaling his own personal record.

Aand there is more:
Gendbend and frogo aswell made their way onto the battlefield, both having a streak on the line:

frogo (Xerxon) defeats Gendbend (Zehir) on DeadlyEnvironment!

Gendbend streamed this game:
Gendbend twitch
(VODs are deleted automatically after 2 weeks)

I had a lot of fun in that game, having 5k hypnotized skeltons one-shot 81 black knights is something i havent seen before

This has been a debut for both Zehir and Xerxon.
Also, this game effects the Hall of Fame:

HALL OF FAME:

frogo      [streak: 5   (ongoing) used: Isabel, Kaspar, Sheltem, Kastore, Xerxon]
Bulya      [streak: 2   (ongoing) used: Duncan, Yrwanna]
aruarian   [streak: 2             used: Lucretia, Vinrael]
Gendbend   [streak: 2             used: Lucretia, Raven]
Bandaro    [streak: 1             used: Duncan]


Gendbend and iancudorinmarian jump straight into the next match:
Gendbend (Raven) vs iancudorinmarian (Maahir) on DeadlyEnvironment!

I love both hero picks. Especially Maahir is one i had on my list of heroes i wanted to test, so i wont miss gends stream to see how he does

Also, we have:
frogo (Zehir) vs Bulya (Kastore) on DeadlyEnvironment!
A match that is bound to have an effect on the Hall of Fame.


The maps have been updated slightly:

DeadlyEnvironment
Changes:

-Creature banks are now stronger
-Widened the small passage next to the t1 dwelling to prevent blocking yourself.
-Mixed dungeon army next to the T7 guards (starting area) has been replaced by a random T6 creep (previous creep was to simular to the town guard).
- Underground cartographer has been replaced by a hut/eyes of magi.

Let's Fight
Changes:

- added redwood outpost
- Now there are 2 random T7 guards (only 1 has to be killed to break out)

These changes are a result of the discussion we had starting on page 2.

The new versions can be downloaded at
heroes55ladder


More to come:
The goal is to eventually have 5 maps in the map-pool and i m confident to say it cant take super long anymore for 2 more maps to join the pool

Update

Before we come to the update, lets see what has happened since my last post

Starting of with:

Stats4Life (Maahir) defeated iancudorinmarian (Dougal) on ARMG Jebus.

A rather unfortunate result of iancudorinmarian forgetting to enable autosafes in the settings.. things happen.



Luckily Stats4Life played another game to compensate for the last:

Stats4Life (Lucretia) defeated Helmut (Telsek) on map Let's Fight.

Stats4Life guides Lucretia to yet another win.
This was the first time Telsek showed up in the GA.



Next up we have a game with ongoing streaks on the line for both players:

Frogo (Zehir) defeated Bulya (Kastore) on Deadly Environment.

A close game till the end, but in the final fight frogo managed to decide the game in his favor.
Also for once i didnt forget to safe the final fight, so if you want it, ask me on discord



also we had:

Gendbend (Raven) defeated iancudorinmarian (Maahir) on map Deadly Environment

Game was streamed but ended in creeping stage, so there is better games to watch on gends stream



Talking about better games to watch on gends stream:

Gendbend (Lucretia) defeated Bulya (Kastore) on map Deadly Environment

Gendbend Twitch
Yet another victory for Lucretia.
Overall a close game, but the final fight was convincingly won by Gend due to a few mistakes on Bulyas side.
I m sure he wont do those again



and at last:

Frogo (Irina) defeated Stats4Life (Sheltem) on Deadly Environment

This game and the game of frogo vs Bulya had an effect on the hall of fame:

HALL OF FAME:

frogo      [streak: 7   (ongoing) used: Isabel, Kaspar, Sheltem, Kastore, Xerxon, Zehir, Irina]
Bulya      [streak: 2             used: Duncan, Yrwanna]
aruarian   [streak: 2             used: Lucretia, Vinrael]
Gendbend   [streak: 2   (ongoing) used: Lucretia, Raven]
Stats4Life [streak: 2             used: Lucretia, Maahir]
Bandaro    [streak: 1             used: Duncan]


With Gend's latest 2 victories, he is once again on the brink of breaking the 2 win streak barrier.



And now finally: the U P D A T E

Its been promised for a long time now and we eventually made it:
2 new maps were added to the map pool!

The new maps are:

CrossingRivers

This is a smaller map (somewhere between Lets Fight and DeadlyEnvironment) with simular starting postions and there are 2 towns per player.

GreenEye

This will be our new biggest map in the map-pool.
Starting positions are simular and there are 3 towns per player.

Both these maps are pretty difficult to creep on and will probably be a challenge even for the more experienced players.
Please also note that both these maps are still somewhat in a testing phase. If you encounter anything weird, please let me know.

For more information or to download the maps, visit
heroes55ladder -> "Map Pool"


EDIT:
I complelty forgot to mention:

We welcome our newest gladiators
Kefirtroll, Gloomy, cosmik and OTHER
to the Arena!

also, with the release of rc13, obviously the GA moves to this version aswell and any upcoming game will be played on rc13.
