If they removed idol minions from the game, and made point bought minions more viable, I believe the games balance would come closer to what it should be. As it stands now idol minions and swarms of erebi/oak minions are uncounterable with equal level assassin builds. Thats the opinion I hold, and to a certain point it is true. You can stack health and overcome minions... but in reality you have to nerf yourself just to counter a minion build that isn't fun to play as or against in the first

It is actually unbeatable when put into comparison to other now considered "viable" demigod builds. Even erubus with a horn of battle could not compare to the strength of this build.

I have played me and 2 friends (3v3) premade with 3 regs. I have to say it is broken at level 1, and only applifies into the late game. Essentially your opponents cannot lose any hp in there lane for fear of being triple sniped, which is 900 - 1500 damage every 15 seconds. When your in a room with each other it's very easy to do. If 1 opponent doesn't stack health out of the gate (like an erubus doing minion build, or sedna / oak taking monks) you can literally ping them with a few au

Yet another post describing why playing with noobs sucks. I still don't get why people have such a hard time learning this game. The whole "everyone was a noob once" arguement isn't really valid. I played this game for a week single player mode and read the forums that same week. When I got into the online play I actually was better than 80% of the people I met. If I can pick up this game and figure it out, anyone can. Yet day after day I get into online play with playe

The logic behind your 'script' design is flawed. Any hard coded method of analyzing data, then crunching numbers against it in an analytical way to create a false reality of whether people are premades are not will fail. Your functionality should be more like: When X players leave a game there stats are recorded. When players join a new game, there most recent games with length GREATER than 5 min (this time can be changed) are brought up. The script checks name

Minion build sedna is viable as long as your first 5 levels you go healing sedna. Getting yeti's from 6 - 10 and full gear for minions is a viable strat. The reason it can work is, you can take the +10 minion damage favor item, instead of the +200 hps minion item that erubus needs to take to have viable minions. You have half as many summonable minions as erubus and oak, but they all do +10 more damage and are summonable on command. They also get AoE at level 15. You can still get IDO

Rarely does a game progress past level 15. The winner is determined by level 10, and the next 5 levels just 'happen' as the game is sealing up. This is unless your team does not get creeps and the opponents don't defend properly. If you screw up the game can be forced to level 20. I don't have actual statistics but we can agree that 50% of games are determined before level 10, won at 15. Of the remaining 50%, 35% are won really really early (pro vs noob games) and 15% of games are act

Really? I don't. I would just like to be able to join a game without being on a team with a bunch of players that have NO IDEA how to play the game. That would make the game better, not having to endure 15 minutes of feeding only to be stomped by superiour HP. The other 'problems' with this game are endurable. However players lack of skill when entering a fight is just pathetic. They see 2 DG and walk right in the middle of them and type "kill me now please, I have no idea how broken

You get platemail, 1 teleport scroll, and a flag capture lock out of the gate. Save the rest. Your favor is Blood of the Fallen. Choose a lane, it's your lane. Get to it and sit on the flag. Level 1 you take tower of power 1. Set your towers up on or near the flag. Push your enemy out of your lane, do not recast towers unless you need to (you have literally no mana). Follow this skill build, and stay in the lane untill you can no longer maintain towers / the lane due to over pressure.
