Oh. My. God. Can we PLEASE close this topic with a link to the "Flag Locks" topic RIGHT below this post?

I'm so confused. He was camping his crystal at base but in the lane at the same time? How..?

You guys know you can be healed from the crystal thats in your main base while your in the adjacent lane right? thats what he's talking about they need to move the crystal a little bit away.

Yeah thats waht i'm mad about. Nothing about their stat the fact that they held me back when i had outleveled them by about 3 levels as erebus. The person on their team with the lowest health was a regulus with 4.4k. Their rook had 8k their computer oak had 5k or so and the other regulus had 5.6k. And since the crystal heals you fully in 10 seconds they each had over 300+ health per second. When they needed health they just camped that. They all were using it except the rook who would just teleport away. Became frustrating because it probally cost us the game. That and the 2nd best player on our team crashed... DOH!

No of course they didn't camp it the whole game but when we pushed them back we couldn't touch them. As an auto-attack reg with all hp items the crystal healed them fast enough that even 2 erebus's and a regulus couldn't damage him.

My suggestion is

1) Move the crystal back. Healing in the middle lane is so stupid.

2) Make it so if you are under attack the healing crystal still heals but at a decreased rate. So you can't just camp the side crystals on exile too. So you can't just camp the crystals.

Yes i know thats part of the strategy but when the strategy becomes unbeatable it's annoying.

Yes a 5.6k reg to be exact. On my erebus he was hitting 140's and was breaking my regen by about 40 a shot but becoming invincible while healing it didn't matter he had all the time in the world.

And it's the base crystal can heal you in the middle lane. I don't think that was intended.

I know this was said I'm mostly lending mysupport to it. Exile becomes so much less tactical with this. Sorry for the referance.

Hmm, I didn't know you can do this. Definitely an exploit that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. I hardly play Exile anymore, anyways.

Iunno.

I never really considered it an exploit.  Frankly, if your pushing a team so hard that all they can do is camp right there, you've probably already rocked their warscore world and are closing in on their base.  I had 2 Regs do that to me once, and my team just ignored them, cleared towers, retreated to heal, pushed back forward, until we got tired of em and decided to kill em.  Once you hit level 7ish, 3 players should be able to take down someone camping a crystal.  You just burst with spikes, and keep sustained on to reduce regeneration.  Usually only takes 2 or 3 skill cycles.  On a 6k Reg, it might have taken 5 or so.

Camping crystals is just something players do when they are damaged an an enemy is going to fight them in it.  Why not get free heals. 

The only issue with this one is that bad level design allows it to heal over a gap, and it does allow them to attempt to hold off a push.  But since that map is so focused on healing crystals, this lil tactic has never really bothered me.  In fact, I commonly stick to that side to push off people, then retreat to that spot to heal, and move back forward.

Touche and to tell you theres more like 8 who play exile.

And then let him continue to fire on me. The only way I was even taking his damage was with constant bite on him and since he is regulus and all the towers were up I couldn't go far without being hit with towers too which would have totally killed me because regulus was negating my regen.

Mainly I'm just asking for a fix to this.

It would be nice though if healing at a crystal was at least REDUCED when you have taken damage within the last 5 seconds or something.

Considering that Exile still comes up in Pantheon, I'm guessing there are more than 8 people who play it.

But then again, I've gotten it all of once in Pantheon, so maybe he IS right.  Still, this is kinda dumb.  I think moving the crystal is the best option.

I'm sure the designers did not intend for this to happen. Hence it's a pretty obvious exploit, imo.

This exploit truely is lame. We were 4 vs 1 on an erebus that was camped there and couldn't do anything because of his bite/mist/priest/health crystal. We still won after pushing the other lane and "walking around" him.

Well...you WERE exploiting...

1) Sorry I offended you. No I am not angry at you for doing it. I accidentally did it one game and successfully double killed because of it.

2) Sorry I rage quited. YES I DID DO IT AND APOLIGIES TO EVERYONE WHO IS GOING TO SNIPE ME. Even though it was an issue I didn't need too. (Truthfully I had to quit to do something in 5 minutes anyway woops... and that isn't an excuse)

3) You weren't the only one using it. There was 2 others on your team who used it. The erebus and other regulus used it after they saw you. Not trying to cause offense to anyone I just want it moved.

Ahh but I did move to the other side. Then the double regulus's just pushed my allies back and started sniping our towers. Before long we were back all the way to our convergence point and I had just switched sides. Sure we had pushed them back but not as efficienctly as 2 regulus's with sniper scope and mines did to our towers and creeps.
