Introduction
The Ashenvale Tournament, or TAT, is a small but action-packed arena.
The idea of TAT came from playing regular WC3 games, DOTA games and other arenas.
We concluded that it was time for a arena without loads of items and anime-ripped heroes, a time for intense teamplay without masses of creeps..
A time for the Ashenvale Tournament!
Information
Terrain
The terrain of TAT is small and has alot of cliffs.
This makes it a dangerous place to move around, and due to the fact there are only 2 juking points, it's pretty hard to run from enemy ambushes.
This forces players to move in packs and play as a team.
Heroes
Just like any other arena, TAT uses the 3 attributes of Warcraft 3 to determine the role of each hero.
- Intelligence Heroes will mainly be magical damage dealers, at around level 6 they get the most out of their abilities and stat gains.
- Strength Heroes will mainly be tanks, at around level 12 they get the most out of their abilities and stat gains.
- Agility Heroes will mainly be physical damage dealers, at around level 18 they get the most out of their abilities and stat gains.
Items
TAT has 6 different item shops;
- 4 are located at your starting point (Offensive, Defensive, Magical and Supportive items can be bought here).
- 2 are located at the river in the middle of the map;
- 1 Mercenary Camp which sells strong units with a large cooldown.
- 1 Goblin Merchant which sells strong items with a large cooldown.
The location of the 2 strongest shops, along with the cooldown on the items makes TAT a intense arena with alot of bluffing and area domination.
Walls
At the beginning of each round, there will be 3 walls on the exits of each spawnsite.
These walls will be removed after 1 minute, giving new players some time to setup their heroes.
Goal
A game of TAT is split up into 3 rounds of 30 minutes.
Your goal as a team is to get more kills than your enemy team by the end of each round in order to win this round.
This system makes TAT intense and suitable for competative play.
Etcetera
Current Progress
We're currently reworking some of our older heroes, creating items and calculating cost compared to the gold one has around each level.
We're in need for testers and someone able to host the map on Battle.net in the near future!!
