Bad team compositions, if your fill-in isn't adequate. But you never know if the enemy team could be worse. I've lost to bad team comps, and won with bad team comps, you really never know how the games could turn out. Match dodging is OK by most I'd assume, comparing it to quitting a match mid-game and forcing your teammates ELO to take a dip, I just shrug it off and queue up again. Two top candidates for bad team compositions are Fortress & SAW. SAW(WP) for having terrible mobility,...

I'm sorry to break it to you but that isn't exceptional at T4s - T5b. The game has a good measure of your deserved ELO, create a smurf or two and you'll find out for youself.

There is no schedule as cards can be bought out before the timer runs out.

Any kind of attackspeed items, BP on Ardan most common, used to be extremely situational. With the new SGB it is now favorable more often than not, even on Catherine. I like it's effect for off-meta team comps, if you're in SoloQ and get no Support orientated hero for your team, take up that SGB if your Hero has the fastest basic attack rate. Blackfeather, and Vox work really well with SGB, their abilities allows them to burst out massive damage with it. Even SAW is nice with SGB. The...

You're looking for patterns. Because guild & teams are so easy to make and join, there is very little coordination within most teams & guilds apart from hero composition. Teams and guilds are less likely to get triple jungle or double lane, other than that, there is no increase in difficulty against extra tags.

Koshka is a beast in this patch. Many heroes got nerfed recently while she got a slight buff so the power shift is compounded. Probably the meanest early game jungler right now. The YCF buff + any farm you stole will keep her going strong well into midgame.

Check the date of that first post lol. Skye had just came out, since then Skye has been given some very generous buffs thankfully.

Krul has been doing really well since the latest patch so I wouldn't give up on him entirely, but I would avoid choosing him in SoloQ, you need a good Support to keep you alive for the first 3-5 seconds in a fight, as the lowest HP warrior-type you're susceptible to getting stunned and bursted down before you can get those stacks up.

Thunderstrike WP Joule with high CRIT% is her best build IMO. I would only go for CP when there are easy snipes for BigRedButton or if the other carry went WP. Unlike WP, Joule's CP build is usually situational. But generally you want at least 1 Shatterglass and 50% CD or more. You lose out on that basic attack power so the CD is needed, unfortunately.

you cannot get past middle of Tier4 silver until you reach account level 10. If your hidden ELO from casual games is significantly higher than that Tier4 Silver then you should jump to the end of Tier4 Gold as soon as your account reaches level 10.
