Am I the only one who feels that the cost of infusions should be scaled according to the progress of the game? The flat cost of 500 gold is nice, but when players start picking up infusions at the late game, it almost seems like a must-have once the game progresses past 20 minutes. What I'm suggesting is to make it more expensive as the game goes on, to the point where you would need to forgo a potential end-game item just for the infusion in a teamfight

Buff damage is similar to Adagio's Gift of Fire perk, and scales with crystal power. To put it simply, this buff damage will not steal last hits when you have the Ironguard, similar to Adagio. You can also buy a Frostburn and slow the enemy just by walking near them.

WP often falls off later in the game once people buy heavy armour and health items. On the other hand, CP becomes a better option late game because of Broken Myth. If you really want to compare damage, a fully BM-stacked CP Ringo can deal over a 1000 damage on his hellfire brew Furthermore, WP Ringo is extremely easy to counter, you probably need more experience in counter-building, and how you play teamfights

As a person who mainly plays laning heroes, I feel that the laner should be the one who is aware of the minimap. I'm not saying the others don't have to, but since most skirmishes occur in the jungle, it SHOULD be the laner's responsibility to rotate downwards whenever a fight is going to happen, or is happening. Alternatively, if you really want to put it in another way, since laners often get more farm than the junglers (and roamers), you can expect them to deal the bulk of the damage...

I have switched to casual almost permanently now, and my rank has dropped to Decent-ish. In fact, I play casual so much that I get matched with POA players in casual, lol.

Honestly, it would be really hard to rank skill through numbers, especially throigh KDA. I know some excellent roamers who have really horrible KDAs, because they sacrifice for their carries. Furthermore, many teams actually work this way where the jungler and roam have bad KDAs and creep score so that their laner can have the farm and kills. Furthermore, there could be some really great players who are just toxic. Rage-pings, not following team flow etc. There are also players who are...

Of course, if they have a bad connection it isn't their fault, but they still aren't contributing to their team compared to someone who has a stable connection. It is quite frustrating to play with someone who can't do anything as well.

Am I the only one below 20? lol

Resident Skaarf main here :3 You probably hit an enemy hero there. Skaarf's Spitfire goes through creeps until it reaches its max range or it collides with an enemy hero. That's how you drew aggro. @uncrudable I actually use that method a lot to pull creeps over. When the graze the enemy hero, their creeps shoot at you, and this pulls the whole wave over to my side, which makes it harder for the enemy laner to farm because I will be zoning him out. It's easier as Skaarf since he has Fan...

Well, you are in Getting There so you can't really complain I guess :c And what Booty said was true, I wouldn't lock in any hero unless my team has decided before me. It was just an unfortunate miscommunication
