If you are facing a Skaarf/Celeste/Kestrel/Koshka/Skye with serious CP damage and Broken Myth, yes, you need Aegis just to stay in the fight, especially with AoE. If the enemy gets Aftershock you definitely need Aegis. It's a late full build but you need shield when BM comes out. No option. Also, the 1.12 changes to Eve make it almost useless on Catherine now as she cannot ramp up the CP damage to justify its purchase (a real shame as Eve used to be Cath's go-to CP item). Instead a...

3 foes in the lane are targeting your turrets and their revenues. Turrets do not last long at 3:1, and they are worth as much strategically. The jungle is a sideshow to winning. Necessary, but not exclusive. Teammates who stay in the jungle hurt the team. At some point AL players MUST lane. It is not true that at some point ALL players MUST jungle.

That you had no point.

At the current drop and lose rate I am experiencing it will take about 4 hours/day to get 3 wins. Do I want to pay $$$ for that experience?

Another mid-game dropper. Stopped playing except slight moves voiding a surrender option. Avoid this player.

I like Koshka and I think the developer spiel about Koshka being a jungle is not really true as theme has evolved. I get far more money and time in the lane now. Koshka post strike can really move and the lane has a lot of space to attack from different angles. The jungle is really a bunch of small lanes that diminish Kasha's speed advantage.

It cost someone a lot of time and money to develop this game. What it costs YOU is not really the point.

Anonymity on this board but not on the field of play is right on. No contradictions. If we know who there in VG then there is no reason to stay silent here. I do not call for a blacklist, just a warning system about unscrupulous players. As the design now stands there is no disincentive to buy your way in, and then wreck games that do not conform to your script, all at the expense of other players, especially when they are *potentially* paying players. This is where freemium runs...

I completely agree. What tends to happen now is an unresponsive player causes the other to just mill about at home base until the surrender time limit is done.

Where is this policy? It is not in a sticky or in the General Rules & Guidelines. Iv fact, the stated policy "Speak your mind..." It's kind of pointless to not name players who sabotage games. Ther is a reason why this is becoming the biggest topic on the board. Clearly the disincentive not to play through is not working, so publishing names serves that purpose.
