I gotta say that they've recently started playing more matches against good opponents. Just compare the opponents' stats of matches of 1 week ago vs. recent matches and you'll see what I mean. Sometimes there are still very new or quite bad new players in their opposing teams, but if they keep the trend up they will also be "top players" in my book.
How does very low enemy PuG experience (and the resulting insane win % ) indicate that they are very good players ? If you defend them and their playstyle, please do not ignore logic. But I guess I have to give up. If not even objective statistics can make you see my point of view, it makes no sense to try anymore. Therefore
Sorian writes about the creation of the two new Demigods in his blog . If you're gonna leave a comment there be sure to keep it civil, as he's been a modder before his job at GPG and has already done a lot of bugfixing that noone else would have done at GPG.
The design is really awkward. Why not use his tail as the catapult, like the catapultasauri?
[quote]Cosmoe - you have a bunch of players in this thread saying this is not a stomp team, maybe you should let it go?[/quote] Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they're not doing it intentionally . The facts (insane win %; very low enemy PuG experience) are still there though.
The problem is not being premade, the problem are PuG stompers (who often also are premades). Nevertheless there's a big difference ! Whoever thought of releasing such a competitive game without proper matchmaking or ingame viewable stats? I for one am sorry for all the poor newbies who got bashed again and again and left without having fought one fair game. Altough sometimes
[quote]From what I've een seeing was people stright putting QoT down without any hint of how she can be useful, yes it's there but it's situational.[/quote] Your stats: Games Won: 1 Games Lost: 25 Sorry, but do you have
Frogboy stated that a request has been sent to GPG to buff QoT but I do not believe that this buff will arrive soon. Whereas Stardock work really hard to make things better (connections, stats overlay), I fear that GPG management has lost most of its interest in improving Demigod. Which is the right decision from an economic point of view, but it will also taint my opinion of GPG quite a lot. Sorian, you're of course not the one to bla
Point taken. [quote]Its the over generalization that premades get that annoy the shite out of me.[/quote] By my definition the opposite team in the OP was not a premade (no VO, third guy does not usually play with them). But they are most definitively PuG stompers. Big difference .
Okay... I try to play fair games as much as possible , not because I'm such a nice guy but because I simply do not enjoy stomping the other team! I always ask for fair teams, but Demigod always crashes when alt-tabbing so the games I played are sometimes not really balanced when noone else does look at the stats. These are a few boring games that I'm not particularly proud of and the overlays will make this a lot better for me. Also I
On topic: I think her "games played" numbers are higher than I personally perceive because AI games also count. Lately I average about 1 in 50 games against another QoT.
Today an Oak one-hitted my Shamblers after I bought Hauberk and Sigil. Just wanted to share my frustration here. After that game I played Oak for the first time, and it was quite awkward. He also has strange autoattack behaviour. I usually do not have the Shambler attack problems at enemy towers, maybe because I click like a madman. My problem is that quickly getting Shamblers between the soldiers and archers to Mulch has been quite annoying since 1.19. With the decreased turn-speed
[quote]But here is the thing, how do you get fair matches when you are in the top 2% of the community?[/quote] But here is the thing, they are not as untouchable as they might seem. Look through their game histories: When they rarely fight a match against another experienced team, they also lose. This very replay is evidence for my point here. It's just that the majority of matches they play are very, very unbalanced. Which, in my opinion, has quite negative effects on the com
[quote]They host games asking for "good players only" and do not stomp random noobs.[/quote] [quote]Yes, these guys are definitely not PUG stompers.[/quote] [quote]I played with and vs IamKira many times and teams where always fair.[/quote] ...... I stand by my point: From experiences in my own matches I can only conclude that win percentage only gives you one information: How much the player enjoys PuG
I hereby volunteer to do the voiceover for Oculus: "Where is everybody?" "I can smell you, Unlcean Beast." "BLASTOFF!!" "MOOOOOOOOO!!" "Come to Old Sparky!" "Somebody please point me at the enemy."
Nice writeup of the game Sarmis! I died quite a lot due to unexpected burst damage of Bite+Pentinence+Oak AA+NightcrawlerAA, clearly not my best "work" here... Here's a better example of my QoT style . Best watched from my perspective to see coordinated Mulch area damage and team investments (Curr1 + Curr2 + Giants). Also, notice the Cloak Jump Shield Save at 17:50 and the sneaky Mulch kill at 23:05. ;) <
[quote]Queen got really a lot uses. a really lot uses.. The thing most of people tend to do wrong with her is tanking and fighting in front. Thats not her use.[/quote] I respectfully disagree. Imho that is exactly the one role she's best at. It's just that almost nobody plays her this style (closed mode only; Shield&Mulch) because it's micromanagement intensive and "not fun".
[quote]They host games asking for "good players only"[/quote] Sad but true: Often players with barely 20 games (and far less than 40% win rate) join such games. That's why I usually name my games "100 games min" and ask players on both teams with really bad stats (win rate
Wow. :O Kitty0007, your post belongs to the HALL OF HONOR .
I picked up _Attila_ and xDennisx in their game lobby and asked them if they wanted to play a game against iamKira and his team as both teams were waiting for a match. I hate the waiting game. Team 1 (PuG, never played together): _Atilla: 197/81 xDennisx: 159/109 CosMoe: 189/99 <p style="text-align
Queen of Thorns closed/open mode bug : QoT has a slightly decreased attack speed in closed mode. When going from closed to open mode the decreased attack speed stays (until level up). You would "kill two birds with one stone" if you would simply remove this effect because it would be a very small buff for QoT who really need
Demigod could have really used new stuff (at least a few new items, or at the very least making some already existing items worth buying/taking) every 2 months or so. Mods could revive the game, but we'll see when the patch actually arrives.
[quote]How so? What aspect of the map do you feel needs to be replicated?[/quote] The playability for 3v3. Which is basically the size, and perhaps also a "safe" tower near the flags in the beginning. 60% of all custom games are played on this map, thus a bit of more chance for diversity would be nice.
Off topic: I wonder how hard it would be to use the existing maps for making "building blocks" and simply stick them together in another form. There is a need for a map similar to Cataract, but there is no need for a new "style" (textures, background, ornaments). On topic: In contrast to most people here I really like Crucible, maybe because I'm a Cloak of Night (ab)user. ;) My worst map (t
