What is LIHL?

ENT's Legion TD Mega In-House League (LIHL) is a vouch-based Legion TD Mega league for skilled players who want to play competitive in-house games with a fair set of rules.

Auto-balanced games are hosted after enough players (8 , 6 or 4, depending on the desired game size) sign for a game. Meeting point is the Warcraft 3 channel "Clan LIHL" on Azeroth/USEast, so you must have an USEast account to be able to play in LIHL.


How to start a game?

Pre-Game:

  1. Join the ENT LIHL clan channel on useast.battle.net (Azeroth) by searching the channel or typing /j clan lihl at any wc3 channel..
  2. The first player types: !start
  3. The others type: !sign (to join the game).

Once enough players have signed and all slots are taken, teams will be auto-balanced based on ELO and the game name will be announced in the channel and hosted immediately.


Lobby:

  • The game owner, selected as the highest ELO player, can be identified via the brackets in the signed player list.
  • The highest ELO users are also automatically placed as Red (Team 1) and Yellow (Team 2).
  • To start the game, the game owner has to type: !start


Miscellaneous:

  • Observer slots are enabled by default. Any unsigned user will automatically placed as an observer.
  • After each game, stats will be updated within five minutes. Bot's vouched player list is also updated once every five minutes.
  • Stats will reset at the end of every season/cycle.
  • The 1st place season ranked player will be awarded $20 and an ingame spoof.


Miscellaneous


Rules

The general EntGaming:Rules apply to the LIHL, unless abrogated by the specific rules below. For the forum, the general EntGaming:ForumRules are to be followed.

Note

Violating any rule can result in disciplinary actions including verbal warnings, temporary & permanent bans from LIHL games and/or ENT games.


Game Modes

  • The default game mode is -hpgmcb with prophet builder.
  • Other game modes can be chosen if all players have agreed to play the mode.
  • If red (slot 1) fails to choose a mode (where the default mode is -ap), then all must choose the prophet builder or !draw the game.


Dodging

  • You may only play official lihl games with a !signed and vouched account.
  • If you are !signed to a game, you must join it and must not go afk for extensive periods of time.
  • Once a game has been hosted, all players are required to play the game out until one of the kings dies.
  • Unsigning during player drafting is forbidden.


Build Provisions

  • All players must solo build: build only on own lane and cannot build a tower that will attack and pull a creep from the opposite lane.
  • You are only allowed to build 1 tower space into the dark green area, no further.
  • If a player pulls creeps while not building at dark green area, whether to be punished or not will depend on a moderator's per case judgement. If pulling continuously happens due to a tower, it should be sold immediately.
  • Do not build over 120 value of delay towers.
  • Do not intentionally split towers to delay leaking on a level you have sent.


Drawing

  • If a player disconnects prior to ending of level 20, it is mandatory to !draw the game, unless every player agrees to play on.
  • If a player disconnects after level 20, then !draw is optional.


Leave and Disconnection

  • Dropping player(s) is not permitted.
  • If a player leaves or disconnects during a game, a "Leave and DC penalty" will be enforced. The player who left will be penalized with -18 elo if have gproxy or -21 elo if does not have gproxy, whereas the remaining players will gain +3 elo for their playing time.
  • Leave and DC penalty will only be applied if the game was successfully drawn, reported within 24 hours on the forum by one who played the game, and once approved by a moderator.
  • Do not leave the game before the King has died since leaving shortly earlier can result in bugged stats.


No Heals and Double-Healing

  • Do not refuse to heal or attempt to double heal intentionally to teamkill.
  • Even if one "thinks" the game is over, players should always heal, unless the game was clearly over on the same level the heal was needed.


Pause/Afk

  • When pausing, a player should always inform everyone why he is doing so and for how long. The game can always be paused upon a moderator's request to do a screenshot test.
  • Do not unpause unless every player is ready.
  • After a player has been away from the keyboard longer than 5 minutes (use !afk to check), he can be kicked without question.
  • The use of pause is not allowed to discuss strategies.
  • Do not pause the game in an attempt to hinder the gameplay. For example, to prevent someone from healing the king or to prevent the opposing team from sending.


Anti-Stuck / Bugs & Glitches

  • All anti-stuck usage is prohibited, unless creeps are actually stuck.
  • Any exploitation of game mechanics which results in a glitch or bug is forbidden.


King Juggling

Every form of juggling exploiting king's attack mechanics to gain more time and resources is banned (attacks should generally be smooth and not intentionally interrupted).

  • Do not juggle the king preventing him from attacking or killing units.
  • Do not change the king's target to delay killing, except to multi-kill with king skill after or to kill higher priority targets such as sent units or low hp units.
  • Do not re-select target(s) to cancel king's attack animation and repeat.
  • Do not toggle king's autocast on and off.


Swapping

  • All players must be in the game before any swaps are made.
  • All players must agree to the swap.
  • Any flaming/abuse/'convincing' with regards to getting a player to agree will not be tolerated.
  • Players have the right to disagree at any time, meaning that if a player agrees in the channel, then he does not need to agree in the lobby.
  • Trial players can never be swapped, so they all end up on the same team.


Observers

  • One veto is enough to reject a player from observing a game, however, the observer spot may not be denied to moderators or players who were not yet vouched before.
  • If the observer refuses to leave the lobby despite being vetoed, votekick him or draw and rehost the game.
  • Observers are prohibited from voting, commenting on strategies, and ghosting.
  • Observers may not ping under any circumstances.
  • If a player wishes, he may pause the game without hindering gameplay and request the game owner to !mute the observer(s) at any time.


Commands

  • The use of !start force is forbidden to prevent bugged stats.
  • Do not abuse !owner commands (!mute, !swap, etc.)
  • Do not !ignore more than 1 teammate. Doing so will mean that you refuse to communicate and teamwork.
