So, I'm sorry, what are you trying to argue again? I said "TB has a reasonably strong early game, 20 hp/s is too ridiculous an early game buff, and doesn't do much to counter TB's late game weaknesses" You said "Screw you dirty hippie TB sucks! I know because I play pantheon" I'm not really seeing anything here.
I would submit that you don't really find good players in pantheon as a general rule.
[quote]So please I've played enough games to know TB is not competitive[/quote] I love how you try to use stats to justify your argument, and don't bother looking up mine. You know I've played many more games as TB than you have, right? What you've done is lost plenty of games as TB, which means that you're playing him at a very low level. Do you want games to be balanced from the perspective of very low level play?
The point is not that TB does not need help. The point is that those particular buffs are batshit insane. 20 hp/s is a ridiculous early game buff. Nay, not ridiculous, regoddamncockulous. It would buff TB's early game into the stratosphere, while not addressing any of his actual flaws. Also, I don't actually play 1v1's on prison, but, as mentioned, TB does very very well against the melee generals in the very early game, and TB c
Erebus can't touch a properly played TB until level 5, and even then it will cost said Erebus prohibitive amounts of mana to reach you and deal any reasonable damage. If you expect to tank another demigod with TB, I think I can see why you might be having problems.
I just have to say that those aura changes are a trip straight up to crazy town. TB already has a pretty strong early game. Giving him permanent +20 hp/s would basically turn him into jesus.
[quote]The point where mistakes are made up utnil it becomes unwinnable is oftentimes the only informative part[/quote] I think this is the heart of what you're trying to say, you should probably expand on it more. Like most games of its type, demigod suffers badly from the snowball effect, once you make one too many mistakes, you fall behind enough that nothing you do even matters at that point. Once you've reached the point of no return, t
[quote]They have the same kill messages in some of the WCIII custom games Irahi. That's where I first heard them.[/quote] Sure they do, with sound files lifted directly from UT. Know your history sonny! And get off my lawn.
[quote]if you pick all of the squishy dg's then ppl will stay e.g. reg qot sedna and da....[/quote] This is, sadly, not true. Not for the reasons you may think though, the opposing team will happily stay when they realize that you're not playing any of the holy trinity. Trying to fill that third slot when you've got regulus+Torchbearer selected though? That's a nightmare. Icenine and I will try to play together and select some co
[quote]Exile just kind of devolves into a locking orgy at the crystals.[/quote] Besides, you get to stare at a naked guy playing with his enormous snake for the entire match. What could possibly be better?
Win percentage for Generals in the current pantheon epoch are bloated to hell. There's a reason for this. Can you guess what the reason is?
[quote]I have been running the Core i7 920 socket 1366 for about a year now and love it, but i also am running a Core i7 860 socket 1156, and this thing is quite spectacular, I have found that the core i7 860 handles overclocking better than the 920, but thats me i would buy the core 17 860 1156 before i bought the i7 920[/quote] This argument has a false premise. Fabrication techniques improve over time for any given factory, so a core i7 920 found in store
[quote]Typically irek and I would go into a game, we would take the worst player there (maybe 30-50% of the time they would have less than 20 games or so).[/quote] I find that joining a 3v3/4v4 game with one friend, and then taking the most awful player to join the room as our third is the most reliable way to get entertaining games. Sometimes you get smashed because your beast feeds 14 kills in approximately a quarter of a second, but for the most part it's fun t

Rank 2 RoI can be cast on every creep wave with just the first mana hat. Rank 3 is a bit more expensive, but at that point you can grab a vlemish, or make the call to not use it every creep wave.
[quote]I totally disagree with that grimunk. If you're squishy you need strength, if you're slow you need speed. (if you want kills you want speed as well) A squishy like regulus or the torchbearer should never take swift anklet, it's unnecessary speed. Regulus could take heaven's wrath to help with sniping and to creep (because he can't hold a lane and creep normally). Likewise, he could take staff of renewal to spam snipe and / or mark of the betrayer. The torchbearer should take blad
[quote] However, instead of trying to purchase everything in the one go, I'll pick up the case, HDD's, ROM's, sound and graphics cards along the way. That way it'll just be the CPU, RAM and mobo when the time comes/I've saved enough.[/quote] This really is not a good way to buy a computer. Prices on everything for computer components trend downward over time. If you pick up a graphics card (say, a GTX 260) right now, but pick up the rest of your
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3641&p=2 These benchmarks should tell you pretty much all you need to know. In the absolute best case for the Core 2 possible, the 3 GHZ version of the quad runs about even with the i7 860. In the worst situation (basically anything involving floating point calculations, like 3D effects) the Core 2 falls behind by up to 25%,
Regulus' best and most important use is cross-lane sniping. Lots of it. With a staff of renewal, that's a large chunk of damage every 12 seconds on the opposing lane. Assuming the contest in the lane you're sniping is even remotely even, that will be an unrecoverable amount of pressure to deal with, winning you a lane you're not even in.
[quote]Seriously, talk do something. Whats the point of online co-op if no one will talk.[/quote] Woah there, this kind of sentiment is getting dangerously close to playing with friends in demigod.
[quote]Btw, how do you prevent a good general from just waltzing your tower down with minions and then (maybe) kill you?[/quote] Without a doubt, you're going to lose ground in the midgame. That situation is prevented early game (before batswarm) by putting loads of pressure on the general and forcing them to run or die. Once level 4 comes about, RoI rank 2 plus a little splash from towers prevents the majority of tower damage, at least long enough to delay
Depends on the player, I've been stalemated by extremely cautious HoB generals, but if they leave the safety of their tower early game, it's usually a death for them. an erebus with HoB and idols has what, 1600 hp? It takes very little autoattack to drive them out of a lane, and clever use of creeps allows a TB to push past a tower for a few seconds at a time. I do usually take more damage from a minion focused build than I do an assassin style build before things go south t
No problem Lethstang, I just find it hilarious that we've basically gimped ourselves as much as you can possibly gimp yourself in this game, and yet it's still impossible to play any real games because of the bias the community has against playing with friends. [quote]Play better is a partially useful suggestion. [/quote] Indeed! Don't suck and stop dying! /win at advice. I have issues in a few scenarios: 1) If opponents are faster than I am,
Two things: First, if you want to counter what I'm doing, you have to be less predictable. The reason I can usually bully generals around early game is because I know almost precisely when you're going to stop and give up the chase (within 1-2 demigod lengths of tower firing range.) Because of how bad latency is in most demigod games, I have to issue the command to turn around and start firing way before I actually see your demigod turn around. If you stop chasing later than usual, yo
I played against Systemscrash just fine last night. No crashes, no lag, and it was even a pretty good game. YMMV, but he seemed alright to me.
