Yes, I understand DG can be frustrating when you have people on your team who don't know how to play.

However, for all that you "did" you failed to take down any buildings (perhaps you left that to just the creeps) personally. That suggests to me you focused more on hero kills than some of the other objectives in the game.

It reminds me of a 4v4 I was playing on Prison (crazy I know) where we had a mass disconnect so it was just me vs. AI. Just for a kick, I decided to go all out hero kills on the AI. I got 31 hero kills and had Ashkandor, All father's ring and other artifacts. I was literally the baddest man on the planet. However, all I did was run around hero killing just to see how how my body could would go.

As the game ended, I was ready to yell victory and collect my favor points (b/c this all started as a MP match). However, it was I who lost.

In all of my bloodlust, I never bothered to upgrade creeps or get giants. The other side did (AI wins!!!). While I was capping all their heroes, just enough giants were getting by to take my citadel down and I didn't even know it.

Another more relevant circumstance last night was a 4v4 win I had on Leviathan last night. We were totally outmatched in terms of hero kills, damage done and so forth. However, my team was better on getting reinforcement upgrades and portal control. So, even though they owned us on kills we had a better war score and won the game once we got to pults (they went all anti hero and had no effective AOE). Our RI just overwhelmed them.

The point is that even though you may have the best stats, you still can lose if you aren't doing the right things strategically.

Maybe you lost just b/c of noob allies.

Maybe you lost b/c you focused too much on being anti-hero and not enough on being anti-building.

What was the aggravating part?

And what do you mean the assists went to the wrong person? You got the only kills so you logically wouldn't get any assists. Assists go to anyone that assisted you in taking down the enemy DG.

Overall it looked like a pretty even match. Like Eternal_Silence said though the enemy team actually took down buildings and your team didn't except for the most newbiest on your team... hehe. Maybe that's why he died so many times.. kept throwing himself at some tower backed up by tushi2000.

I wasnt spit build and ooze doesnt do damage to buildings, and of the 3 demigods on my team UB was the worst for killing buildings.

I didnt say i should have got assists, Goddess had 6 assists and Sir had 5, Sir was the one with the assists award.

I wasnt only going after demigods, i dumped alot into citadel upgrades, and capped 2nd in flags, and started locking flags towards the end.

Not fishing for complements i died twice...

And of course the enemy has more buildings taken down.. those stats are end game.. the giants do most of the work for you.

Not really....It shows that you will lose if you play with two bad players.

Tassadar same thing happens to me all the time.  At first I was angry my team-mates would lose the game for me.   But it seemed to be happening a lot so if this keeps happening to you maybe look at what YOU may be doing wrong or what YOU can do different to stop this.

 

   Demigod isnt just about killing other demigods thats not what wins the game.  Although this is probably what UB does best.

  The other team had a Sedna/Rook combo which is pretty nasty at marching down lanes and taking down the citadel. 

 You had a rook on your team, if he was a tower build maybe you should have stayed back and defended him some more.   Or maybe if you notice your team isnt that good, go ahead and buy priests/ect especially vs a Sedna and just try to steal thier flags...   

 

  but yea sometimes theres just nothing you can do in random custom games.    

 

 

 

edit:  why is it always the  slow non tower rook player that always wants to charge into the enemy base and attack towers?

Eh it was just one of those games you cant win, no matter what you do. Not a HUGE deal but aggravating none the less.

yea, this is common for beast players. My friend seems to forget about any objectives when playing beast except killing players. I have to nudge him a little to keep getting flags.

This post is an example of why I don't care to play online with strangers and mostly play single player. When I play with my friends or family noone really cares  at the end of the game who won or who was a noob,etc. It's all about having fun together.

 P.S this is probably one reason why MMORPG like WOW are such a success even though I find them extremely  boring; the experienced players are more noob friendly and doesn't mind helping a noob out.

It looks like they drastically outcreeped you lot. And they sacrificed personal items to do that which is probably a big reason you got so many kills. *shrug*

If I get partners who don't speak in the first few minutes, I quit. Not worth the frustration.

Your team got a lot more grunt kills, indicating that they got priests/angels/catapults etc. much earlier.  The Rook also appeared to be heavily focused on destroying your structures, permitting the creeps to attack either the citadel, your DGs or your creeps.

I'm just speculating, but that's usually what happens when grunt kills so heavily emphasize one faction or the other.

Same thing today. Pretty much always 1-2 downsies.. I have a 5 kill rule, sometimes five. If my two teammates 5 times without getting a kill i autoleave. The games over. They have no hope.
