[quote who="synnworld" reply="12" id="2502613"]Really out of the last 10 games I made each had a premade that joined and left. Why you ask, because they refuse to seperate and play against each other. If a premade won't play against each other than they don't play together in my game at all.[/quote]Absolutely pathetic. When I was new I played against a number of premades as a complete pugger. Back when there was still a large number of people playing I broke the top 100 as a pugger, when that

Pugs need to get over it. Friends should be allowed to play with friends, period. Yes the system failed, but even high rated players like the GL guys won't play against even a 2 man premade in a 3v3. It's pathetic.

[quote who="McShane87" reply="415" id="2502420"]Lol this exact same thing happened to me. Mith's friend gl-omicron does an equally annoying minion oak build. I played them with a random and mith dropped after omicron had destroyed all of our towers and still he won by just pummeling the citadel with spirits. I'm not sure how to deal with a build like that in 2 vs 2, it would be manageable with other good players in a 3 vs 3 but in 2s it's rough. Anyone else see that re

I'd have to see a replay. My guess is that you were just too aggressive too early or that you didn't have a monk. It's also possible that your partner didn't play correctly, you made a few mistakes and they got too far ahead on gold (an old habit of mine) or that you were just overmatched. Then of course there's just some comps that you can't really handle until certain break points. A frustrating but critical part of playing Rook well is knowing when it's just best to tower up at you

I've got a 30 minute video of SStarkiller intentionally lagging a game, threatening to desync, and just generally bragging about hwo I would not win the game because 5 of my 7 kills were "bullshit" and 'caused by bugs.' He's a cheater and a braggart about it. I'm not the best sport myself when I'm losing so I realize I don't have much room to complain here, but I strongly advise against playing with him. If someone can list a good codec/program to do the conversions, I'll youtube it.<

Also I dobut they're just going to implement mods without inspecting them pretty thoroughly. Implementing a mod that took days to make like the favor mods wouldn't be a 30 minute endeavor, it would take quite a while to work through all the changes. I think you're cheating the idea of the thread here, it's like finding a genie who gives you three wishes and then asking for a full list of wishes you'd written to be granted. That's not how genies work, unless you're talking about his ge

He's good at level 4+ if you're not getting pressured too heavily. If you're the latecome to a fight or if you're doubling up and forcing the other team to dip in and out he's viable, but when you have to actually hold a lane it's problematic.I think he's tier 2 because he lacks versatility, but I do enjoy playing with good DAs on my team. Also, personally, I think most people have poor favor item selection with him. It's rough early game, but I really think BotS is your best bet in t

Let's make a qualifier here first. If you play on prison you can suicide nightwalkers/spirits into structures and tear them down in spite of QoT and shamblers wailing on them. This also works against UB, TB, and pretty much everyone else, btw. Now when it comes to a minion oak or erebus and a shambler QoT (with mulch), QoT can definitely hold her ground against them. QoT can outheal the incoming damage with shields and mulch (and usually just mulch is enough) and shambl

[quote who="Teseer" reply="81" id="2501003"]No, I'm not talking about skill points. Activatable abilities. Oak has to use a ward and Sed/QoT/Oc have one dedicated to summoning them.[/quote]I can understand how that's annoying, but really the best builds tend to only use three abilities anyway, not to mention QoT's abundance of abilities hasn't helped her stay compeitive.

How many targets do shamblers hit on average? In a creep wave or against a minion swarm how likely are they to strike multiple targets inadvertently? Bear in mind creeps do significant damage and eliminating them does give you a meaningful advantage. UB is a pure melee character and is at the top end on DPS. It's not necessarily a good thing to bring everyone else up to those damage levels. Is it good to promote a build which essentially involves nothing be right clicking? Isn

Building towers isn't about reaching a certain quantity of towers, it's about filling the dead time between battles and building a snowballing advantage during combat. I just think people are viewing towers backwards here. They're not a burden, they're a unique utility, rook is the only DG who can really prepare for combat. Every tower is a good 80 DPS against even high armor targets (assuming they're not stacking evasion).[quote]January 6, 2010 7:49:46 PM A max stats Rook
