If they are sooo bad, as you say, you shouldn't have trouble.

That's what I am saying. I do skip the match but then you are timed out for 4 minutes+ increasing every time you skip a match. The system incentivizes players to insta-lock their first choice and make the other two pick their 2nd choice, best fit for the team (even though they might suck at it) or be punished with a cool-down.

I hate insta-lockers and generally choose not to play with them. It used only happen on the lower tiers but now its happening on Pretty Good and Hotness. I can't tell you how many times I have Taka or another hero picked and am waiting for others to choose. After several seconds of waiting, bam, someone comes in and Insta-locks my hero I had highlighted and wanted to play. Dude . . . Really?! I used just not pick anyone after that happened because I don't want to play with a selfish...

Yeah but that is true for all heros. I agree some Taka players are selfish but it is kinda the way he needs to be played. On the same hand he needs his teammates or he would be nothing.

True that.

Yeah by no means am I bitching at the Devs. I think they have made an incredible game and listen to the community. It must be incredibly hard to balance characters and teams. Actually as I play more my games are getting a little closer. Still 50% of the time I have an idiot that thinks he can take on the whole team by himself and/or has no teammate skills. I come running in to save his ass for an even two on two and he splits for me to get my ass kicked. Or they get too extended in the lane...

Is it just me or has matchmaking become even more uneven? I feel like since the update teams have been even more unfair ( I know they went for the opposite). I have only played 6 or 7 games but It has been very lopsided (although I haven't played enough to get adequate sample data) . We either win huge and I have K/D of 10-2 or 18-1 or we get wrecked and I go 8-5 or 10-6 while my teammates go 1-8 or 2-9. It kinda pisses me off because I feel like at the high ELO's (Hotness for me) no...

I was a Koshka until I got up to Hotness and couldn't keep up with everyone (before the update). I started a new account, learned Taka, and Saw starting at low ELO. Liked Taka's play style more and got him and my new account (IllusiveNinja) to Hotness in 55 wins (not sure if that is good or not but was experimenting with different builds on the way up). Taka pretty much needs to be left in the jungle and mine until he gets level 5-7. He needs X-retsu to close and inflict enough damage to have...

It's your responsibility to make sure you have enough batteries to play a whole game. You ruin the game for others when you suddenly leave and still should be punished for it in my opinion.
