I've realized how I wish they had fixed Skaarf, not by giving him crystal pierce but rather by making the current crystal pierce weapon more useful for when you are not losing a fight. Far too often fights end too quickly for the extra piercing to make much difference. Ardan is much more difficult than others. He suffers like Catherine in terms of farming, doesn't appear to have as high damage output as others, and his ultimate does 0 damage unless the opponent walks into it.

My bad, thanks wolf_hands for the correction.

It also increases the amount of gold a player earns if they get the kill, thus being a fine strategy for a Saw at the start. Also really solid for certain players such as Catherine who take a lot of hits, due to the extra gold from that and the small amount of regeneration.

Vs. a Saw this makes a lot of sense, since otherwise the turret has to defend itself and the petal can't help there either. This is due to Saw being able to counter Petal's minions with suppression fire, netting extra gold & xp in the process.

I was thinking that to farm Ardan effectively you will want to lower his cooldown, and the energy is converted to extra crystal power (useful with his blood for blood) allowing you to bash more often. Honestly, not really sure though since I didn't like my run through with him and so let others enjoy him while I played some favorites (Saw & Ringo) that I don't normally get to play on a balanced team (I generally play randoms).

Archibear, I believe it was announced for awhile but now it is not. If you look at your teammates names there is a green light for them being active and red for offline. I think I spotted it on the scores, otherwise not sure.

I've had it happen a few times, kept thinking that like the extra stacks of various things that this is something easily spotted and likely fixed soon enough.

InfuriatedBrute, I'm not sure that the TC was asking for 5v5 at all. I personally would love a new map for a change in visuals, and possible a change in strategies. DoudJr, I hope that they eventually implement a random hero option. On occasion I find a teammate (I mainly play randoms) who just skims through all the heroes over and over until settling on one and making that go a little faster would be nice.

A new for me peeve, players who build all armor (usually Catherine). When they are on my team I've found the best option is to force our team to concede sooner than later, since eventually everyone levels enough that the defensive player no longer deals meaningful damage. It happens often that I find an all-armor player on my team. And I have yet in my 400+ wins to notice my team managed a win with such a player.

I would guess it's going to be like glaive, where skills have a passive (healing & damage increase) that can be released for benefits (mass stun with weak damage?). A possible ability would be a built in flare. Maybe upon activation of a skill it reveals all enemies (shorter duration)? Another would be an ability to block stuns for nearby allies. I imagine it would need to passively grant something like increased damage and activation would wear off the buff and instead work like...
