Originally, those characters previously outlined were banned, meaning the joust actually took skill. However, You can't ban all 5 of those gods, meaning he who picks Xbalanque(or anyone else on that list), wins.
To put it in perspective, I recently played 2 matches against a Xbalanque, the person playing him wasn't that good. With this being said his CC immunity and ultimate make it incredibly hard to do anything against this god. For example, at one point in the match (I was playing Ullr) it was tied 2-2. But, his passive allowed him to be 20 physical power ahead of me at all times, meaning that even if we built the same (which we did) I could almost never out box him. That paired with bleeds from Poison Darts and a great escape in Rising Jaguar (+ CC immunity so I could never stun him) allowed the same guy to win, twice in a row (There goes my 70% win rate D:).
I guess I could ban Xbalanque instead of someone but no one really comes to mind.
Suggestions (and possibly a stuffed bear to criiii into)?
Or even better... like I've always suggested, premade ranked.
It's a simple concept. You register as a 5 person ranked team (I'm almost certain League has something similar) and your team has it's own Elo, Division, etc.
C'mon Toast, you get you, me, Seto, Regen, and whoever our adc is and we'd ****ing climb that ranked leaderboard xD
dota has something like that too I believe
And there was a 5 man premade ranked but nobody qued for it.
I totally agreed with this.
I miss ranked Arena :(

1v1 Joust shouldn't be a ranked game mode since the game is not balanced around 1v1.
