[quote who="MABManZ" reply="23" id="2291295"]The real solution here is adding voice chat in-game. Now EVERYONE is a premade! Unless they don't have a mic, of course. [/quote] Yeah, play some HL mods and you can see how quickly that will be degraded. Voicechat doesn't make people work together. People deciding to play as a team is what does.
[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="22" id="2291293"]Part of this "playing as a team" comes from knowing how the people on your team play. Of which you are at an advtange because you have both played with these people before and know that they are goin to have your back. Not usually possible with random people. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it is a significant factor during play. [/quote] Trust me, you NEVER know if they have your back ;p
Lol no one cycles through teams like you believe. If you do, clearly you are the problem as you think there is a onefix all solution for a particular matchup. Theres multiple setups, sooner or later, one of your teams will stop acting childish cycling through teams ;p. The great part about dota was you choose your heros IN game.

[quote who="JuareZz" reply="20" id="2289804"]Mines should have a lower range. You ahve no chance to escape them, or lets say, I played TB and i made my rain of ice onto them and nothing happended. At least this should be fixed. So that if you see that he throws the miens to somwhere that you can aoe them... [/quote] Is there anything in this game that isn't TB that isn't overpowered?
Except the fundamental point of this thread is counter productive if thats the case. Those who don't care who they play against are going to do whatever they can to get the game going. Those who are in it to steam roll, thrive on other people's reactions to what they do, making it more "fun" for them. This thread is just throwing fuel on that desire of theirs. I seriously doubt anyone who reads this post is going to go oh...... maybe I should be nice now.
[quote]STAT TRACKING IS BROKEN.[/quote] Yes, stats are. Not who you played with.. wow.. need some pills there buddy? LOL [quote]You learn by losing in a fair match. You don't lose by being dominated. Maybe you're just trying to justify easy wins?[/quote] Says who? You can learn ALOT by being dominated. What evidence do you have to the contrary besides your opinion? I have vivid examples of those who do EXCEL under pressure like that. [quote]Exactly. Their time
Ice TB gives me the most problems as a beast. I get less kills against them than ANY other demigod when they have support. OmgzZ he wants to 1v1 you in a team game! so proZ.
If i'm ever on, you can feel free to play with me and char4561 as long as you're willing to listen and learn. Goodluck, I hope you enjoy the game.
[quote who="JagerJack" reply="13" id="2290990"] Quoting ItchyDustbin, reply 9 But my time is wasted when people don't label their game "not a pre-made", and I spend 20-40 mins beating them with randoms because they had a bad random player. In a PUG vs PUG, the chances of one of the teams being dominated because they had a game-breakingly bad player is lower than the PUG team being dominated in a Premade vs PUG. Also, in a PUG vs PUG both
[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="10" id="2290982"]I'd say smashing noobs in an easy and unchallenging manner is a waste of my time, but to each his own. [/quote] Because you think premades lineup for premade games? People just want to play the damn game half the time. We don't have all day to sit around waiting. As somone who declares himself as playing with random people all the time, you're not a valid source of information on this subject. We have premades
[quote]Yes, because the broken stats are such an accurate way to show anything. [/quote] I mean, theres not many ways I can argue with stupidity like this. It SHOWS who he played with, how is that NOT an accurate way to show if he plays with friends on this game? He certainly doesn't play with them very often if he does at all. [quote]So now their time is wasted getting dominated for 20-40 minutes because you didn't want others to know you had an advan
[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="5" id="2290940"] How about Stardock just get team automatch working? How about both? [/quote] See above. My time > random people whining about not having friends.
[quote] Get some friends. [/quote] [quote]I have friends I play with too [/quote] Apparently not if you look at his games.
[quote]In the mean time, games take forever to fill when you name them "premade" OR they fill with noobs anyways who don't read the title.[/quote] ^ all that really needs to be said. Unless you consistently host, you don't know REALLY how much of a PITA it is to even get a game going these days. Btw, theres nothing about a premade that goes "against the competitive spirit of this game". Get over it, or yell at stardock to fix its crappy matchmaking.
1) I always host, games take about 1 min~15mins to get going. Depending on your stats/title/lamers/etc. 2) No idea 3) ~15-45 mins, depending if you walk the floor with your oponents or not. It's very rare a game will get over 30 mins with good players. 4) There is alot of diversity if you choose to play that way. I'm one of those people that go on "kicks" with heros, with 30+ matches of the same setup so I can master that one and move on. However, me and my partner alm
I'm going to let this stupid thread die now as we are severly off topic (meaning, I wont be posting, even if I have to correct somone else). I think we're all in agreeance stats are so situtionally based on who you play and the game glitching. I don't really think the word "premade" comes into that as nicely as, how you decide to choose your oponents. I do believe that stats can be utilitized to see a fair amount of detail into the depths of somones ability, but the amount of effor
Alright ill spell it out for you since you obviously just don't get it. Theres a typo for the SECOND time saying this, in that sentence. I've said it 4 times elsewhere in the opposite direction but you focus on that one for some reason. [quote] I said yes, stats aren't pointless, and I agreed[/quote] It is supposed to be, [quote] I said yes, stats ARE pointless, and I agreed[with the OP].[/quote] Does that clarify it for you?

[quote who="Jomungur" reply="16" id="2285405"] Quoting Melric, reply 11 I'm confused, voice communication makes you better at all that. I time my stuns with my partner. He grasps, after that comes off I stun, after that comes off he grasps again. I chase when I know that my partner is going to support me and the same with tower pushing. Hell, we even choose complimentery favor items. A premade will always be better th
Poul, you obviously didn't read anythign I posted as I said no one should respect me for my winning rate. The rate was posted to give validity to the claim that stat's really don't matter, from somone who DOES have good standings. Do they have somthing in your country for that kind of stupidity? This whole mentality that premades don't join games is absurd. I don't go out of my way looking for them no, because it already takes 10+ minutes to start a game 90% of the time. However, even

[quote] That's just a ridiculous statement. How often do premades hop into your lobby? 10% of the time, maybe? Take a look at your last 20 games, I don't see many premades against you guys.[/quote] My last loss was a premade. [quote]Have you played any Pantheon games? If you had, you'd know that Pantheon is broken beyond reason - mostly because of premades playing it. It will currently match up two top 100 rated players against a 20K rated player 2
Yes, I made a typo on the second time, congratulations for pointing it out. I think stats are pointless. You can have a cookie. Oh, and regarding the milkshakse, it's a refrence to my DOTA games. But that's alright, you got the inside joke apparently. Yes there are people from my old DOTA games that recognize the title. Sorry for keeping things consistent across games ;). You should look for more typos to feed your ego though. [e digicons]O:)[/e] [quote]Out
If this is what our arguement has been reduced to, this will be my last statement. We're now debating what companys should or not have in their policys based on opinion. I still believe I am the majority opinion, but I'll leave it at that.
[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="25" id="2284470"]Maybe it's you who erroneously think you are the majority because "everyone you know" uses vent? The reliable way would be to take a poll of the people actually playing the game to see how many are using external VoIP applications while playing Demigod. The results would be informative, at the least. [/quote] It's possible. But when I give people my vent info and they hop on immedietly, it makes me think im in the
