Neat. I've never been able to see her dive to even guess at this. I take it that the pit's just been a nice coincidental landmark then. And I feel bad that I know how to Rot, but not the history behind this then. lol
But why did they flatten the arena then? I can't think of any other AoEs that could've been affected.

And for discussion's sake, wouldn't it be the same difference then if everyone started outside of the pit, and then ran into the pit at the sound? (i.e. still run to her backside, but now she's baited to dive inwards) I would figure there'd be less room for positional error, and maybe higher risk of people running into the wall itself. And it's been a long time since I've been in T5, but I recall misbaited dives knocking me backwards and sideways, into the wall.. Would a failed attempt in this scenario tend to move me away from the wall then?
