To be honest, I solo-ed my way all the way here to SA Gold, and after all the cancer that you have to face to reach here, you kind of achieve a state of zen and enlightenment. You start to rage less, and then games start to become meaningful when you win a game with a sub-optimal composition. The fact is that not locking in is something that will be abused if there isn't a drawback to it, and it sucks if you wait for 2-3 minutes each ready-up, and then everyone just doesn't lock in....

I can confirm that. The Hotness seems to be quite toxic, but after you cross the cancer, things get better up here. :3 Also, I recently played a game where the Ardan on my team never used his gauntlet, and we lost :c

Unfortunately, the game doesn't keep a track record in game, and all this depends on the players in-game to down-vote, or up-vote your teammates/enemies. Toxic behaviour can't be assessed through a technical filter, and that's how it has been for every other MOBA. You can't assess every player based on their previous games too, because there is no way of knowing what they did. With that said, posting it here won't make it better, regardless of how fed up you are, since the advice given by...

Hmm.. maybe you're not used to his mechanics. I have a friend who I party with at SA Gold, and he plays Reim very well, while I support him. What I can say is that Reim does require some initiation, like a stun from Catherine, and then he can hop in with his B and A abilities. I would kind of compare his style with Skaarf, where you need experience to consistently land his A.

Draft Mode only works if both sides are 3-man parties, which is already really hard in ranked. Seems like the only way it will definitely happen is through an organised private match.

Seems okay if you aren't the one dealing the bulk of the damage, but otherwise this is quite lacking in that regard. I get how Aftershock can deal large damage, but your abilities aren't as spammable as any other crystal carry. Also, this build seems like it will take quite some time before it can ramp up, and if you get Clockwork or Aftershock as your first item, you will lose greatly to other crystal laners, like Skaarf, which can literally burn down your defense regardless. I'm a...

Does anyone have the link to the changelog? I can't seem to find it here on VGF

Just finished a Solo Ranked at SA Gold, where the Celeste on my team went Tornado Triggers and Oakhearts, and the Krul on my team went Alternating Currents, and Reflex Blocks. And I was the poor Adagio trying to support them while the enemy team was a Koshka, Fortress and Saw. I was literally that close to ranking up. And I thought this cancer only happened at lower ranks

There was one moment when my team was figthing 3v3 around their crystal. I was Skaarf, and there was an enemy Krul trying to get onto me. So using my Frostburn, I tried to kite away from him, and when I tried to use my Goop, due to how furiously I was tapping, the Goop landed behind me instead of on Krul. That turned into Krul killing everyone eventually, and we lost. :c

If this hero was related to Chinese New Year, it will mean that the update will be out near the first week of February. Which is pretty soon Chinese New Year starts on the 8th of February, so it's coming
