Gurubashi arena NEEDS to be an actual playable arena.

Org arena is already retarded enough, adding an even more open arena would not only make the game way more annoying due to raise of zerg comps, it would also remove even more of the tactics and positioning you once needed to succeed.

Are you serious? it's like Ring of failure only it's worse!.Pillars were always considered a huge factor in arena and correct pillar humping is very often the only way to survive certain comps (beast cleave comes to mind).No to retarded open arenas.

This idea just sounds so stupid. Brainless zergteams would benefit so much from an arena like this and so would doubble healer (3v3) with priest. Imagine a team like Arms warrior + disc priest + resto druid: priest spams mana burn on you and druid spam cyclones on you and there's no way for you to LoS it, and no way you can get away and drink behind a pillar.

Gurubashi arena is arguably the only TRUE arena. Its not plagues with pillars or ramps or anything. Its just straight up your team versus the other team. if you are a healer, and play mainly with LoS, tough luck, this is the DPS's turn to have the LoS advantage, which is no LoS at all. This is the arena were it is actually FAIR. Let the best man win!

No, it's not fair. The closest map to GA is Ring of Valor and even with Pillars, every facerolling comp (TSG, Beastcleave, etc.) will win almost every time on this map because there's nowhere to really hide while they just train you all game. Pillars and elevation provide very little help against these teams, but that can still mean a win or a loss.
