That's not exactly what happens. While I haven't seen the "50% win rate" hint, I believe that. What the matchmaking system tries to do is match players with similar elo. So if you've been on a winning streak (meaning you've gained tons of elo quickly), it'll match you against higher elo players since you now have similar elo ratings. If you can handle it, then you get a huge elo boost; if not, then it only goes down a little. This system does have an intrinsic motivational factor to...

Well thank you! :)) I like to keep things simple and focused on the game. I'll actually be on later tonight (3/5/2015) from about 6-7:30pm. Have to pack for a trip tonight as well or it'd be longer. Follow me on twitter to keep up with my times before I go live (I'm a bit sporadic in my streaming times because my real-life schedule). If you follow me on twitch, you should either get a notification via email or your phone if you have the iOS twitch app.

The enemy could be using halcyon potion, fountain of renewal or have an adagio using gift of fire on them. Counter building is key to staying alive. If they're all wp, go metal jacket, all cp go aegis, all attack speed go atlas pauldron. If you don't remember what an item does while looking at the scoreboard, click on it, a description box should appear. As for doing damage, know which heroes are naturally tanky, when enemies are going tanky, and if you should pick up a piercing spear...

@Nerdjitsu A mage in a MOBA is close to what you would expect to see from most RPGs; they rely on their abilities for the damage over physical attacks. celeste has a great auto-attack, but only because it scales with cp, but if you didn't use your abilities you're missing out on a ton of damage. As for "...celeste doesn't benefit from ", skipper587 is saying that you'll be wasting your money on defensive items, you'll still get that +200 hp, but if you're targeted you'll still...

The devs felt the red X for AVOID had too much of a negative connotation. They've changed it to a yellow CAUTION. Should give the same sound, it will just look different. Trolls, or trolling, just means people who purposfully throw a game. Sometimes it's hard to tell if they are trolling or just bad players, but if someone continually runs at the turrets and dies, or buys 5 ironguard contracts then there's probably a good chance they're trolling.

A reflex block is almost mandatory, as is at least one protector. Only thing I would like to see changed is her attack range. Right now it's at 5; skaarf at least has 5.5 for range. Granted, once you enter late game her auto-attacks are almost a fourth ability if you have shatterglass/alternating current combo, so a smaller range balances out.

@Archibear xD "weeeeee!!!!!" That was great. If you play just enough to get your first and third win of the day, you should be able to save up for most heroes fairly quickly. The price tags on each hero may seem high, but you have to realize this is a PC level game running on your iPad or iPhone. That must have taken them a long time to develop and with it being a free-to-play game, not everyone will be willing to even give them a cent for their hard work. I will admit, I...

Celeste is super awesome! I think she's my new main. I've always had trouble with finding a lane hero I could excel with and I finally found it in Celeste. :) Here's three of my good matches with Celeste posted on tumblr: 10-4-5, 10-2-7, and 11-4-12 are pretty decent scores from The Hotness I'd say :P One of the funnier moments with Celeste for me, was when someone else insta-locked her. I was Glaive and our third teammate was Adagio. Adagio stayed in lane with Celeste and she wasn't...

I'd just like to say, I've actually soloed the kraken with celeste :P My teammates wouldn't push the lane with me during an Ace, so I was like, let's see if this works! Didn't use this build, but just letting you know it's possible.

@nporaMep For a lot of players, VainGlory is their first moba. There's a large learning curve, and because it's such an accessible game (seeing as it's on iOS) there's going to be a huge age range as well. For veteran moba players, they probably will reach the higher tiers quicker, but there's no need to put other players down. Also, sometimes matches are going to be nearly impossible to win. I was lane with 2 junglers. We aced the other team several times, had 10 more points then they...
