Reading the name “Social Arena”, I imagine there will also be an HCS Arena with more competitive settings. I would like that because I believe that a game should not only be hyper-competitive (like Halo 5) or hyper-casual (like Destiny) but it should allow everyone to find their own corner of happiness. Halo Reach for example had a team slayer with various abilities, and playlists as MLG or Hardcore without.
So, imagining an HCS Arena with very few equipments, I also imagined a Social Arena with a lot more gadgets to make the gameplay much more varied and fun. I’m talking about adding powers as well, like in Destiny and other MMORPG, so energy balls, flames, lightning and many others…but without having to work hard to get them. Simply as power-ups on the map.
I wouldn’t be opposed to more abilities and stuff like you were talking about as long as they can be balanced well. Maybe there could be something like a beserker power up like in Doom where you deal more damage and can get single hit melee kills for a short time but you have reduced movement speed. I would love to see something like mines return as equipment and there could be various ones that have those unique element types, like a fire one that has a huge AOE that lingers or an electric one that stuns vehicles and disables shields.

No, please God, no. Leave that Destiny cheesy super/power-up nonsense to just that, Destiny.
