Just won a match against a Vox, however, the guy built aftershock first... And I was ringo... Enough said. He's definitely powerful. I don't know about OP, but I'd say he's quite similar to Ringo- just faster with slightly better abilities & that whole resonance thing. If he is OP, remember that SEMC has a number of things they can nerf- his high run speed, his high shield & armor, & his high attack speed. They should be able to adjust him accordingly

Yes, there are some bad players, especially in the lower skill tiers, which I'm assuming you're in. 1. Players who are shooters are best for the lane. I think everybody can agree that Vox is a lane player who is somewhat overpowered. His high damage capabilities mean that he should be in the lane farming as much as possible. 2. You should not be providing help in the lane unless you are trying to take out the enemy laner or your ally is obviously in need of help. If you do run to the...

Win a lot. Don't abandon matches. The more you win, the higher you go, the more you lose, the lower you fall. My advice would be to find 2 characters- preferably one melee & one ranged- & get very good at them. Spend a lot of time reading the guides on those two characters. Watch the live stream/YouTube videos to learn from the pro's. Try to understand the in's & out's of the game to have an upper hand on your opponents!

Yeah, I definitely agree. Had no clue that adagio, petal, & skaarf were seeing nerfs, or that krul was getting a buff. Thanks for the info!!

Lol I'm aware of how to counter her, & saw is pretty unsuccessful at higher skills tiers (unless he's crystal). Almost no heroes can handle a 1v2, especially late game. She has an easy time escaping 1v2 situations after dishing some burst damage. What skill tier are you in??

I'm interested to see everybody's thoughts on koshka. I'm finding tanky koshka builds prevalent and EXTREMELY successful in most matches. Typically they go for multiple reflex blocks then aftershock... So they have great burst damage, great sustainability, great clearing/farming abilities, and great speed. This is understandable; I find koshka too weak without some early defense. & I'm not saying she needs a nerf; I feel as if a nerf would make her too vulnerable. But, I do find her a...

45? Dayum I've gotten in the 30's before on low skill tiers but never the 40's. What skill tier was your friend in when he played the match with the 45 kill ringo?

Unfortunately Pretty Good is for novice players & you should expect some trashy teammates down there. It's not too hard to rise out of that skill tier regardless of your location, provided you actually have the skills to be successful down there. I know it's frustrating- I have a practice account down there- but if you want to be half decent in any of the above skill tiers you'll have to learn how to carry a team in Pretty Good or decent-ish.

There's also formulas for shred & pierce damage but I'm not gonna get into those cause... Idk, I've done too much math in one day. Here's the link to everything you could possibly need to know. Check it out!! http://www.vaingloryfire.com/vainglory/guide/complete-guide-to-vainglorys-hidden-stats-and-calculations-by-an-engineer-4311

I'm just gonna provide you with the formulas & a situation to help it make some sense. Basic attack damage= (weapon damage+weapon power)/(1+armor/100) Ability damage= (Base power+ modifiers)/(1+shield/100) Okay, so say you have 2 ringo's with 100 weapon damage and 150 weapon power from a sorrow blade. Say they have 70 armor each. Base damage= (100+150)/(1.7)= 147. They would each deal 147 damage to each other. Alright, so 1 adds a metal jacket (155 armor) & another adds...
