Also, nova, what difference does it make how much LP the characters have, as long as they have the same skill levels?

Having some lp would allow more interesting teamwork oriented builds (in 3v3), which is closer to real combat situation and thus real skill then flexing & punching eachother at 1 UC.

Well, the whole discussion is about 1v1. But even for team fights, why do you need 2 friggin million? Do the skill ratios seriously need that level of precision?

Well for 1v1 amount of LP would not matter, indeed. It's just that 1v1 is rather weird and probably rather boring discipline to begin with, for skill measuring.

I still don't see why you'd need that much for team fight. I mean, does it really break all your plans if your ratio is 20UA:10MC rather than 200UA:103MC?

Sure, it doesn't really work for archers at low skills, but then again archers don't really work at the top bracket of PvP. Though you could simulate rbows at low MM with wood bows or even slings if you all use crap armour.

Number is mostly related to MM (assuming that ranged weapons and other gear is allowed).

See edit above.

If people would use crap armor then MM would be effective, yes.

But if they use bronze or even steel, chances are they will get their ass handed to them by people in CCs/leather due to agi difference.

This could get pretty interesting

DUh, obviously everyone would wear the same equipment to the tournament. The goal is to determine who's the best fighter, not what's the best gear.

What do you mean by "same equipment" ?
