i have around 850 wins (so prob 1200 lost) and have completely switched to casual because draft is so annoying. I would rather race and lose to get my character than play draft. there needs to be a choice for ranked. i love playing support, so what has nothing to do with it, but when you play draft you can't really hone it on being REALLY good at a character, which i do. i don't like to play different people unless I am really bored, otherwise i will play one person for a month or two to...

WHY can ardan not jump over the walls closest to the lane with his 3rd while everyone else can (joule, glave).. twice now in one game it has happened, making me look like a dumbo and losing our kill.

Ardan does use vengeance , but his abilities deal crystal AND weapon power attack at the same time, so getting an item with + crystal power will still help him. You just do not need anything like a battery. I think it's pretty rad and I hope the other two new characters incorporate this as well. Just adds more to think about, so the game will not get monotonous.

It's more of a life-sustainer rather than a life-saver

I find life steal to work, but in a slow even matter. As with Skaarf his burn will slowly heal and actually helps a whole lot. I don't think it's intended to be a burst heal of any sort, cuz as you have said, you have to have a whole bunch a crystal power/attack.

Oh MAN that is the worst for me.. WHY?!?!

Like stated above, he iron guard contract and I would try to get your team mate to help you SERIOUSLY harass and kill the enemies in the jungle, and in between kill their monsters. Just be sure you two HAVE to stick together when you op are on their side of the map, just to keep that edge of 2v1, or at least match with 2v2. If you lane guy is paying attention he should come down when it's a 2v2 to help rid them real quick, then he can go back up and continue on. Also just jump in e lane...

I just lost a game which we shouldn't have because Joule can hop. We had no turrets left, the enemy had two. We just got the kraken, I died and the other two went to out fortress entrance to stop them from coming in. I thought the kraken would take care of their turrets and we were set as long as my two teammates could defend that little entrance. Turns out, joule went somewhere along the wall to the south of them, hopped it with her special, and got the crystal before we had any idea she...

I get the advantages of 2 jungle 1 lane, however me personally I would rather have players who are good at their characters than a good set up. Obviously it may not work out all lane or all jungle, but I feel two lane and 1 jungle whom are stellar with those characters makes more sense than choosing someone you are half as good with just because you like that line up better. That being said, there is really no way of knowing if a player chose the character because they are good with them, or...

Like stated above, the ping for the enemy is no different than a normal ping, just place it on the enemy instead of the ground. But I agree it seems some people are really good at pinging, ,mine end up confusing everyone
