On a side note- most ardan players built a lot of health, so get aftershock ASAP to accompany your reflex block. He won't be able to trap you & you'll reduce the effectiveness of his high health with aftershock

What's wrong with what- the matchmaking system? Player rants about the system? Lmao not sure what you're referring to, but yes, those skill tiers are generally for the best :)

This comment was a little hard to understand. Are you trying to refute my original post, or are you stressing another point that I didn't mention?? Because I completely agree that bad teammates are the bane of any match, and that good players will frequently lose if given bad teammates. I'm not completely sure what you mean by above average players not making it. But anyways, I do agree with you, and thanks for the input :)

Buy a reflex block & use it whenever you want to run out of his ring. It'll completely solve the problem :)

Longdongkim, thanks for reading & for the constructive criticism! First off, I wasn't trying to rant; I want people to consider some things before they spend time complaining about them. My post is a lot different from some of the matchmaking system complaints on here. I don't have a problem with players complaining, I have a problem with an issue constantly being mentioned in unhelpful ways. Many of the players who rant on either the matchmaking system or bad teammates choose to bash...

Yeah, I definitely know what you're saying. The forums could be used in awesome ways but a lot of players come on here to complain. Which is understandable, complaints make everybody aware of things... But it would really be nice to see other types of posts like you say.

Alternating current is generally best on characters that use a lot of basic attacks & have lots of crystal power (adagio). Aftershock is best used on characters who use a couple basic attacks but mostly rely on their crystal abilities (like koshka). Celeste doesn't really rely on her basic attacks & I find that, in most fights, she only gets a few in. So aftershock would probably be best- hitting a player with a basic right after using her first ability. It would give a bigher...

Yes haha, I knew this. Did I put somewhere that it did influence the system...?

Thanks for the support hydraxis!! Glad to hear from you. Yeah, unfortunately it is a long post, I wish I could shorten it but I had a lot to say lol. I agree on how adaptable we have to be in the solo queue; it's actually why I only play in the solo queue. Good luck playing!! May many wins come your way :-)

Since I'm seeing a ton of rants on the matchmaking system, I figure I'll post this. Please note that I am not denying that the matchmaking system could have issues, however, I'd like people to consider some things before posting their doctoral thesis on why they hate Vain Glory due to getting bad teammates. 1. You can't really complain about bad teammates if you're in any skill tier below the hotness. Don't get me wrong, there are some great players down there, but overall, anything...
