Slight Change to HA Relic Running

Last time I checked, when teams were assigned to do Relic Running in HA, the team that won in the case of a tie would be the team to most recently deposit a relic. I find this to be a little strange. I believe that it should have been the first team to deposit a relic in that point total to have the victory.

The waiting games that I see some teams play in the last few seconds just seem absurd. This might encourage more aggressive relic running, forcing teams to try and actually get their relics in before the other groups.

I guess so, but wouldn't the blue team win always then?

Hehe, just won my first HoH match (and it was a relic-run) tonight ^^

its probably a throwback to old hoh days when all matches were altar control... i think of it as when you bring a relic to teh altar you are 'winning favor' sort of... so last one to have claimed favor by bringing a relic wins?

that said what you're saying really does make more sense... thats just my $.02 for why i think it is how it is now :P

this is a really good idea and completely makes more sense than the way it is.

How about we just remove relic running from HoH?

First: fix the drop-back lag bug.

Not like I have played in the last 4 months.

make it koth only and 1v1 only to get rid of ganks , but no team holds when match starts just to make it fair.

Do any of you guys even HA at all?

i'm looking at your guild tags and i don't recognize any of them.

The relic running portion of it is just fine because the only "waiting game" played is on the relic run in halls with the very last relic around 20 seconds.


I agree that HA needs to be fixed but the relic running aspect of it is just fine

Why would anyone even bother playing ha anymore at its current state?
All u see is ganks, thats why 1v1 halls would be the better option.

btw, never heard bout ur tag neither, some random dribblers or so? I dunno

Have a great day
