I'd say expansion first, that might b ea big enough break from the game's reputation to work.

[quote]Yep, pretty much THE way to play rook and the one I dread facing.

[quote who="ntropy" reply="10" id="2474634"]The problem with Tower rook is if he can block your only pathway and that the towers are very strong in the beginning, so you can only go in with the creeps. You'll need to get priest to be able to solo push through a farm, and even that is likely hard. Usually you'll need 2 or even 3 dgs to push the rook back.

[quote]- It doesnt make lvl 4 shield completely redundant. As it stands now, you only need to invest in the first 3 levels of shield, only because lvl 3 shield is powerful enough to carry out these game breaking capabilities (consistantly chain locking portals).

One can be cast on other players, allows you full use of abilities (actually the only reason why I think anyone has a problem with it is because portals work), and has a significant cooldown. The other has a minor cooldown, does AoE damage, provides passive healing, and can be used to bridge coold

Removing UB's ability to interrupt casts would be a ridiculous nerf, a much better starting point is to give it proper stun immunity the way every single other stun in the game works. I think there's a simple solution for fixing health stacking: Change the HP flag on cat to a debilitating flag. Bam, 15% health item nerf across the board and 10% buff to DPS items. The problem with an outright nerf to HP outside of that kind of change is that in 3v3 and 4v4 players can die in about 5 se

Light vs. dark wouldn't be an improvement. The current setup feels in line with how it's always been. Either they make it like Skirmish or it'll never really work. I appreciate that they tried to do something fun with it this time around, but if they were going to have an imbalanced matchup for fun they should have capped at 100-200k instead of 1 million.
