Hero Battle Scrimmage Suggestion

I have an idea that I beleive is worth considering. I suggest that a 1v1 scrimmage option is set to Hero Battles, (ie, one where you choose your opponent). I have told many of my friends about this, and they think it's a fantastic idea because it gives you a change to play with your friends and test new builds, something which may exite the metagame which is getting all too samey in current times.

I know from other players that a major turn off to Hero Battles is that you cannot play your friends, but if this was made possible, I think it would attract many more people to the arena, if it's possible to challenge another guild to a GvG, then why not another player in Hero Battles. Sure, you could always build test in the guild hall, however this does not allow you to try out your build in a realistic environment, one with shrine capping and tactics. 4v4 in the guild hall simply becomes a literall 4v4 frenzy with the build that does the most damage coming out on top.

So a-net, I propose that you consider adding this update to hero battles to greatly increase interest in pvp, and to spend more quality time fighting against your friends and the community.

Awesome idea, and realistic too!
I hope that Anet would seriously consider this!

Nothing more to add, imo.

(Get to work dev team! )

Sounds good. I'm not a massive HB fan, but I can imagine people would like this :>

I think that it good idea /signed

gl & hf ;]

/signed. i totally agree and hope to see this soon.

a-net plz, this isnt a hard request

/signed
Will dramatically change the meta, people will run more experimental builds. Nothing more to add. Really hope Anet will implement this.

definately /signed from me, great idea

/signed
I rly dunno why it wasnt implemented from the beginning

That's what unrated should be. /signed

/signed, but too bad this will never be read by anyone who has influence over the game's developement.

quote for truth.

/signed

Good idea. /signed from me.

great idea for testing out new spit characters and wont take forever to find opponent like unrated does atm /signed

awesome idea, /signed

Yes this is indeed an awesome idea =) An option to play an unrated hero battle against someone you choose is just logical and essential in my opinion. Therefor, /signed

signed also, might help the meta out. shouldn't be too hard to implement either, can just copy it from the gvg one. o:

/signed think this would be good fun i love playing my friends in any kind of pvp so think this would be really nice

/signed, anything that encourages trying new builds is a welcome addition to the format.

/signed, I would definitely like this for testing and just playing for fun
