Every high level team seems to have a skaarf now. He can control the lane better than any other character with his distanced damage, his Area of effect damage with his first & third abilities is huge, and he consistently dominates in team fights all game. I could go on, but the point is made. I've basically given up on laning, as I don't have current access to skaarf & I can't keep up against him using any other lane character. Kind of frustrating to know that it'll be like this till...

Mkayyyy I see haha. Well, if you want some comfort, you should be able to move up to the hotness pretty soon with your game knowledge (which is a ton for your skill tier), & the players get a lot better up there. Add me @ Bootylicious if you need somebody good to team up with!

Nice rant... Lol. Lot of text in there that most players won't read, but those are all some valid points. What skill tier are you in?

Ummm.... If that's true, that's pretty bad dude... You should work on being less compulsive. It's not a problem that you can solve with less vainglory, it's more of a personal issue

Minion mines should not be taken until the late game, typically past the 15 minute mark when teams stop heavily relying on the turrets. The problem with taking minion mines early is that your minions will kill the other team's minions faster. This forces you to go further out into the lane to get minion kills, thus overextending and getting killed. It's best to not secure the minion mines until lane play is at a minimum; that way your lane player can stay as close to the turret as possible...

I support the concept of new heroes. I don't want a huge amount of them- I like a small pool- but another 6-10 would be QUITE nice. Preferably two for every type of hero (tank, warrior, assassin, sniper, & mage). I would never want a chat system; it would really encourage trolling & negative behavior. The current signals do their job completely. If a player can't understand the signals after a dozen games, they don't need to be playing. The chat system would simply be a crutch for...

The balancing is somewhat complicated... Before the updates, Krul & skaarf were underpowered & only used every so often, & petal was way too overpowered. To nerf or buff them would send them back to their original, still unbalanced positions. Personally I'm fine where they're at. I'm still seeing effective petal players that use breaking point and sorrow blade. She definitely isn't on the same level as ringo like she used to be, but I'm fine where she is at. Krul &...

I could see how this would be useful, but most good players just save their ults for whenever they need them most. Also, ult's are situational. As a ringo, I'd never use mine in the middle of a team fight or in the initiation of a gank. Compare that to taka, who always uses his & has a tiny cool down, or adagio, who only used his in team fight situations. Ult's are very situational depending on the player so I don't really see the need for this. Good suggestion though :)

Map sense... I like that term... Lmao. It happens. Once you get to the hotness gold you'll see way less of this (and you should be there soon, you sound like a good player). Your best option is to wait for them; to go stand near them while the enemy bunches. Never go head on into the enemy without your teammates. Hopefully your teammate will catch a clue and follow you. If they don't, you'll at least have some extra help when the enemy team comes rolling through. Most of the players...

I've noticed a lot of teams struggling when one player picks ardan. Ardan has a very small damage output, so when fights break out, the team with ardan is always limited. Just lost a match that I could've easily won if my fellow jungler had gone for a character that could deal more damage instead of ardan. I also know that a lot of upper tier teams have an ardan on them (ringo, ardan, koshka combos seem to be killing it), so I'm a little confused on the situation. Have I just been having...
