My longest matches were always against Warlock/Resto Druid as a Rogue/Dreamstate Druid. Half an hour and longer, they were fun though I have to say. :) Double dps teams tend to have much shorter matches.
Good to see that they're preventing exploits as well with the system.
45-minute Time Limit Added to Arenas
Have you ever had an Arena fight last longer than 45 minutes? Well, that won't be happening anymore.
In order to prevent players from attempting to reach a no decision in Arenas, and to ensure that all Arena matches are completed in a reasonable time frame, a 45 minute time limit has been added to Arena matches. At the end of this time limit if no team has achieved victory, both teams will lose 16 arena rating points. Please be aware that this loss in rating is not currently displaying properly and will instead show as a draw for both teams. This display issue will be addressed in a future update.
So how many of you have had battles extend past 45 minutes? Also, do you feel the loss of rating points is a fair penalty for not completing the fight by the time limit? Feel free to discuss it in this thread in our general forum.
