I've been involved in lots of comeback wins, and had a few against me. If you're losing and your enemy goes artifacts instead of creeps you can sometimes sneak in cats before them, buy ports and locks, and start locking away at their base. Once you start the pattern it is hard for them to stop unless they just want to sit at their base guarding the portholes which is basically giving you the advantage anyway. On cateract this is really easy to do, I think I have several scre

I hear what you are saying Z, and it makes some sense. However I think there is something to be said for managing your own mana so you can use it when you need it as well. Ring of fire in this build helps you creep and control flags, potentially better than fireballing non stop. Don't get me wrong, when I am above 50% mana I'm launching off fireballs at enemies and towers, but there comes a point when you need to have some available so you don't have to run back to your base

It would be nice, I had to write the names of a few people on a little piece of paper so I could remember not to play with them. That's pretty lame IMO, but totally nessisary. Just last night one them tried to get in a game of mine, luckily I remembered their name. I asked them in chat to leave or join the other team, they ignored my request. So I kicked em. Luckily someone else got in the game and we had a great match.

I like your Ideas Meta. Pantheon is supposed to be a test of your skill with random teamates and random opponetns at the moment (or should be). They definately should add 2v2 ladder 3v3 ladder, but they didn't. So it should be random teamates and opponents period. The connection screen was a nice option when we weren't sure we were connecting and what was going on, now that connections are better they should do away with it, or even better mask the names.

I need to add something here just because I don't want to start a new post. I was in a game last night pantheon where i got paired with 2 ai against 3 players. I'm not sure how the heck that matchup would start that way but it was lame to say the least. Now normally the ai are bad feeders this I know, but what they did in this game was unexplicable. I don't know what kind of programming makes the ai do this but here was what it did: 1. ran up to 10 yards from a

Reg - So you get anklet and boots of speed and don't feel hurt enough in other areas like health and damage boost? What kind of build do you use? Are you buying boots and wand too? What kind of purchase order do you use? To all I was really curious on the poison dagger proccing off shoulder arrows myself, if it does then its definately worth considering as the favor item since anytime the arrows are raining down (and no creeps around) you're going to have a good chan

Hmm I like your frost build, looks fun to try. I wish I could do a fire TB one but the no auto attack while chasing in fire is too much to take. I think its best probably to get some health items so you're not toally dead but good ideas for certain.

Ahh very interesting, thanks for that note Z. I use it for other nice things such as instant clearing my lane so the creeps are damageing my enemy and getting kill shots/assists on running demigods. Your post will probably change the way I play a little bit, if my teamate has a lane I probably will refrain from blowing them up now, thanks! There are plenty of times none of my team are on a wave tho, in those cases I will shoot away.

[/quote] Hey Z this is really interesting and I hope you come back to elaborate. I recently played a game with a friend that swears he got no xp when I used heavens on a pile of creeps near him. I was under the impression allied teamates within range of the creeps would get xp when they died just like when towers kill them, is this not correct?

Very good information here so far. I thought about the anklet, but for a rook build due to such low base speed I thought that would be a waste and never really be able to be up to speed enough to keep on someone. Other demis might do better with anklet. Poison dagger seemed good but like infinate says how much in game will this proc when i want to kill someone, I wonder if it will be enough to be worth it. Looks like no one recomends the damage and speed boosting favor

For fun, I wanted to try to experiment with some auto attack based builds for TB, Rook, Queen. Problem is I'm having a hard time determining which favor item would be best for actually allowing all that auto attack damage to work in your favor. The way I see it you need to A: be able to do a lot of auto attack damage and B: be able to keep the enemy in auto attack range. Here are my thoughts on the items, I'd appreciate any imput from others: Mards hammer - Obviously

Forgive me if this is posted before but this is really a number one thing for allowing me to play with friends. The in game chat box and double clicking to send them a tell is terrible, not reliable, and never gets us connected. We end up having to use our phones and text messages just to say something simple like join channel whatever when your game is over. A simple ability to send a message to friends while in game to say "how long you have left" or "join channel blank wh

I think you should be able to choose whichever Demi's you want, if something combined together is too powerful (say reg snipe for instance) then maybe a balance change could be made to restrict the number of snipes on an enemy demi so that they could only get hit once per 5 seconds or whatever would be balanced. Both my good friend IRL and me like to play TB, we both play him completly differently and by both choosing him we in now way over power our team. We have some strengths

OK well thanks so much for making this anyway, it is very cool and hopefully will be something that the devs can look at to see what players would want in the game.

Did anyone mention whether this can be used in random customs or only where everyone uses the mismatch option? Its a little confusing from the original post, is this just for friends who are all coordinated and have the proper switchs or donwloaded this already, or would it work in a random game?

I'll second this one, this happens to me too. Now when I host I almost never kick anyone, I ask them to leave and if they don't the whole game is screwed. Last 3 times I've tried my game freezes and I have to kill the task, I haven't tried again in quite a while because of this. Not the highest on my priorty list but the host kick feature definately should work and is needed in some cases (certainly would help get a game going faster).
