DA Replay - Shadow Swap I Think I Love You

But I Wanna Know For Sure...

from Demigod Forums

Check it

I would have posted this replay even if we lost horribly and it was all my fault, just for DA's teleport steal at 6:27.  Dark_Satana is porting from HP flag to help Ragarth at Brilliance flag, and instead my DA pops out of nowhere to gank him.

There are a few more good swaps in there, and the best was probably @ 27:50 when Alterschism's UB, under Shield III from Satana's Oak, ports back to his crystal but gets yanked back out again for the gank. 

Also a notable game because QoT/DA/Oak beat UB/LE/Oak, which doesn't happen often.  Late game they could absolutely demolish us if we got caught out, and did a few times including a total wipe, but we kept control of the map, upgraded our grunts, and pressured their portals FTW. 

GG to my excellent teammates and opponents

In meta terms the implication is that you won't be able to use teleport scrolls when a level 5 DA is anywhere close by, unless you want them to end up at your destination and leave you right where you started..and yeah, Shield III no longer gets you out safe

I wish I could NOT have to play General 90% of games because no teammates micro monks so I could rape face and have fun as an Assassin :-/

I'm thinking of hosting all-assassin games, exluding UB and Rook. I think a squishy matchup would be fun.

Excluding Rook and UB:O? DA DA DA pretty much.

DA REG and TB are all pretty much on par imo. Regulus might be the weakest link, but he's not grossly underpowered compared to the others in the list.

I didn't think much monk micro was required - you assign a monk to follow a teammate, and that's that...

Suiciding on towers.

When enemies target the monks first when they notice you are splitting.

I usually assign it to the friendly tower so that it doesn't chase

try using minion hotkeys with split monks.... (yes i know you can rebind but if you have siege and special minions you can't assign them to a key w/o monks) every time you hit m you have to tell the monk to stay where it is

Assign it to the tower and it won't help your ally in combat, nor will it contribute its 40 dps
