TB is my favorite and very powerful IMO. I have 2 guides the sticky section of the strategy forums on him. You were just with bad players. For me the bad players are almost always: 1.Rook - he is very hard for players to play well because hes slow as hell 2.Regulus - everyone thinks they will just own with him, lots dont get any life then they die fast Those are the worst for me that I normally see.

Just make it so host disconnects, host gets a loss. If host cares anything about his own record, he'll try and fix up his disconect issues. Maybe make everyone else get a NA, it would be a waste of time, but better than getting a loss for everyone for your efforts. That, and/or the report your own stats idea that others have had, even with that, disconect should equal a loss, I'm not sure how it ever would be reported as a win, thats flat out wrong.

[quote who="cwsault" reply="7" id="2284391"] Quoting InfiniteVengeance, reply 25 Yes this means you could end up with 6 winners and 0 losers potentially but each person WON THE GAME THAT THEY PLAYED. They earned the win. It's better than handing out random and nonsensical losses for things completely out of your control, especially if you did indeed win the game. Agreed that's the only way that really makes sense -- just have all player
I play 9pm PST time, so a few hours after you wicked. However if I see you online when I jump on I will "attempt" to use the lame in games friends system to contact you, we'll see if we can get in a game :-)

Its a pointless argument whether the person was exploiting or not, frustrating for all parties for sure though. Bottom line is stats are still broke and it seems they should be so much easier to keep track of. If someone discs they should get a loss and the game should go on. I'm not sure why that isn't possible but its pretty retarded that it isn't. I've had games where the host did not drop completely dissapear from the game list and not show anything. This g
I completely agree and I've posted similar to what you wrote in other peoples premade rants. Annoying to see people drop out of games just because I'm in the game with a friend. And honestly, we're not that good AND we don't use vent. I can understand the people who don't want to play against premade teams with vent when their PUG doesn't have it, but that's not use. We type to talk, are slightly above average players, and I play with new people and friends new to the
Oh and I forgot to add to the OP, minions being insanely overpowered and UB being underpowered is pretty funny. If anything priests are a little too powerful, and the exclusively being able to buy minions for generals doesn't seem warranted. Then again favor items being seperated doesn't seem necessary either. And UB is in no way underpowered, he's probably the easiest demi of all to actually do well with even if you aren't a good player.
[quote who="AnnihilatorX" reply="3" id="2279851"]The stats doesn't count if 1) Host leave the game before final score screen 2) All members of any team leave the game before final score screen (likely to be the losing team) I have had a great game yet the SoB host decided to leave just before the score screen to save his winning streak. [/quote] I'd also love to see Annhilator explain his post a little more if available. If host rage quits, or if all oppon
Yeah QoT uproot needs a buff or other classes abilities a nerf against towers most likely. Or maybe towers should have a slightly higher base to begin with like setting them to strong. There is a lot that could be changed, hard to say exactly what should be changed though. Here is what I think would be some good ideas to start with: --Range of towers increased by 1, so that regulus must get 2 ranks of range to take down towers without getting hit. --QoT Uproo
I like Pouls original idea, Demigod level * 100 seems pretty fair with no buffer. So in early game level 1-3 its only about 100-300 gold for the killer. That's not game breaking, you also of course get the benefit of them off the field not gaining xp and you getting the flags. Then when everyone gets a head of steam by levels 5-10 you are up into the 500-1000 range. Alternatively if they want to roll this out more slowly to watch the changes to the game it makes
T-Man I greatly appreciate your response to my thread and Stardocks posts in general. The player in reference was my friend RussWild. Even now if you check his rank you will see he is 4-5, if you check the rankings page some of the players around him are 5-1, 4-2, 6-3, 1-0, and none have a losing record. When I made the original post he was way higher up, I'm not sure what happened but it appears to have been somewhat reconciled (though I still have no explanation for him ha

Yes its a pretty big problem, the stats keeping in this game is totally messed up and it sucks.
Oh and another thing, I thought they were balancing Pantheon, that same night I got matched up me +2AI versus 3 players. This is the second time in a row that it has happened, how am I supposed to play the pantheon tournament when it continues to give unbalanced games that are no fun? Side note: my ai teamates in that game were as horrible as ever, I don't pretend to know how hard it is to code it but seriously. The UB on my team sat in the base for minutes on end, and whe
Am I missing some patch note where spit got changed, or are you saying its fine at the power level it currently is at?
@pod my 1-4 friend is not a very good player and is brand new to the game, I know what you are saying but I assure you that isn't the case. @Simbul yes our game did not show up, it was a nice hard fought win against good players and I believe Purge was the host. We got no credit for that win, the host did not leave the game. @Annihilator, what? The game does not count at all if one opponent rage quits? Then the other two concede nomally? If thats the ca
So until 1.1 I didn't care about stats, I knew the system was messed up, everybody did. Then with 1.1 supposedly the stat resets were going to happen because everything was fixed. However, thats still not the case and its hard to understand. I played a few games last night, for some reason one of the good games I played in where I won doesn't exist on my games played section nor stats. I have a print screen of the final result of that game, it was a good fought game ti
Thanks Shadow, edited now.
[quote who="Sean0883" reply="15" id="2277544"] I got the PM inbetween games and, well, I forgot . I'll put them up now. [/quote] No worries, thanks Sean :-)
@Shadow - Yeah the auto attack broken on Fire TB is a huge issue, thats why I don't focus nor count on it. I'll tell you on pursuit though I definately have much greater success getting into range myself then hitting fireball. If you queue it up and let the computer do it you will often times get caught on corners of the map if your enemy is not running in a strait line. But yeah, you can do it that way just I think it sometimes doesnt work so I don't take the chance. <
Very interesting thread. I like your last pack of numbers Somaz, but would like to add I'm not certain those are basis for nerf/buff crys yet. I like to play TB the most and even tho maybe tons of players are not good with him I think he is pretty balanced and strong. I'd like a buff no doubt, but I can't say for certain that he needs one just because many players pick him and lose with him more than others. Also some demis are easier to play well (UB for sure) so he h
Hi Sean, I sent you my two Torch Bearer Guides in a PM, they are different then the ones you have listed so it would be cool if you can add them. They are brand new and just made this past week. Thanks!
when i play a "premade" its usually only 1 other guy i know. So that means we still have 1-2 random players on our team. More often than not these "pick up players" will in fact work together with us and or suggest things to do. I work with random players all the time coordinateing upgrades and locks. Also I'm always communicating in chat, not via voice. --shopping --getting gold 1 --Can someone get tower regen 1? --2 demis incoming "xpl
Yeah what T said :-) Thats why when I play a full fire or full frost I like to just double switch to give me both buffs. Timing the Fire-Ice is nice tho for hitting demis with auto attacks or towers.
I play customs with my friends a lot, mostly we are just average to above average players, and sometimes not even that. If someone looked up my stats and saw that I played with them and didn't want to play, well thats their decision, I'm not teaming up with pro players in customs to stomp noobs or whatever, I'm teaming up with friends in real life so we can enjoy the game further and then talk about funny/cool things that happened in our games, including comebacks, wins, losses, and str
@Mab I used to only go with Poison Dagger too, then I tried swift anklet and I was surprised at how many more kills I was able to get. Poison dagger doesn't go off as often as I would like it to (not 20% since TB is ranged) and doesn't go off on key times I really could need it. When it does go off its powerful, but think of it this way, 25% slow every once in a while and not on demand OR 15% speed for you always, which also helps you run away when you need to. Latel
