No, he said something that wasn't true, assuming that I don't have favor items, which is a big point people make when trying to argue against me, which is wrong, and a logical fallacy as far as the argument goes.

[quote who="VyperXXX" reply="20" id="2213135"] Quoting fixmyfavor, reply 14 Favor items are supposed to be POWERFUL achievements, that's what the back of the box says. That is why they are fun. Your suggestion to nerf them just because you are too lazy to earn them for yourself would make the game unfun if it was implemented. Favor items should never, ever be nerfed. [/quote] So you quo
[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="12" id="2212229"]Perhaps all favor items could start out weaker and gain bonuses as your war rank goes up? Example: Swift Anklet = 10% ms bonus + 1% per war rank This mitigates the early game problem as well as giving more flexibility to favor item power (some could be better early game and some could have big bonuses unlock late game) This could also fix the weakness in many favor items
[quote who="TheGuildfordStrangler" reply="16" id="2212608"] Quoting line0042, reply 10 Look at favor items like powerful artifacts, which they basically are. You can't play with them at the start of the game, because it would be silly and unbalanced. Imagine if somone on the other team started with mage slayer, or ashkandor, before you had any chance to buy a similar weapon. Would you have fun? No. What's really funny is that none of the favour items are even compara

[quote who="Fhoeng" reply="9" id="2211259"]Give rental favor items for a cheap favor price; players will have to buy it again next time. That way, people who didn't farm/grind favor points can still just jump in and play at a fair level. They will also be allowed to test a particular favor item without donating a kidney.

I agree. Something that would be great would be a Left 4 Dead style radial command tree. For those not familiar: You press a button like z x or c, or whatever and a circle of commands apprears in the middle of the screen, you move your mouse in the appropriate direction, and release the key, and it says command. This would be fantastic, "go left", "right" need help here", etc, etc. Typing does take far too long in this fast paced game.

My patience is at a razor's edge for this thread. So I'm going to just throw this out to the slobbering masses of retards commenting here. Despite the fact that the statistics aren't prefect, they even out. Everyone is getting poorly recorded wins/losses, not just erebus. People CLEARLY don't understand how statistics work. Everything evens out with errors. Fucking duh.

So, I've hear lots of irrelavavent whining, which doesn't surprise me. I'm going to sum up my suggestion. Support Award: At the end of the round the demigod who healed/negated the most damage dealt to allies recevies the support award and the corresponding favor bonus. No one in their right mind should complain about this. I've broken down the attacks on it in the preceding pages. To sum up the attacks: Sedna has an advantage! WHIIIIIIIN

Ther nerf was done soley because of whining forum crawlers. If you read my thread "Why the erebus nerf was foolish" you will see the exact reasons why. Nothing besides the pantheon statistics are relavent. He is mid range. He does not need a nerf.
Ok, bursdude I understand that you clearly don't understand much from your post in my other thread, but that's OK. I'm here to slowly explain things. I never said she could not get awards. I said she's more poorly suited to it. Which is a fact. There should be a healing reward for a number of reasons: 1. Sednas who focus on healing should get a reward. If you focus much of your energy (both mana and cognitive energy) on healing, it will be at the expense of most of the
