Way to remove a touching moment with memories of fear and pain

Match ID: 136175364

Thing is our alch basically jungled during laning. He had no early game(like every alch) and his mid game was non existent because of his start. They just never pushed the issue and we started getting winning trades and their higher xp and gold bearing heroes just let us snowball to victory

I've been playing Tribes again recently after taking a break.
They recently dropped the requirements for new unlocks by half making gear that much less hard to get.

This is an all call for anybody out there who wants to learn an INCREDIBLY different type of shooter.
Tribes Ascend is 100% free on Steam with the option to buy boosts and such microtransactions.
All content is available to unlock with your earned xp points (No content for paying users besides cosmetics)

Any takers?

Eh I don't know about HoN having the ragiest community.

Unfortunately, I think Dota 2 has that title won.

I gotta say something about radiance

I completely hate the item

the right click damage is nice but if I'm gonna drop all my lane farm into an item that scales horribly into the late game
it seems like its just a waste of time

For heros like Phantom Cancer and Spec diffusal just seems like a better option for early fighting
For like alch who uses it as a pseudo-battlefury for farming something like Mjollnir that will let him abuse his BaT from his ult

I just cant see dropping all the farm on one item that actually might be replaced later by another item.

The problem is how radiance scales

Yes as a farming tool it is probably one of the best farming tools
Yes as an extra AoE damage it is great

My problem comes from the fact that any kind of extra magic resist or pipe makes its damage trivial

Early game it is beyond annoying but straight up deadly
Late game unless it leads you to snowball so u have a full inventory it doesn't give the cost/benefit of almost every comparable cost item that a late game carry would probably build

I'm not a NaVi fanboy
I want to make that clear lol

However the recent addition of Funn1k and Kuroky to their roster replacing Ars-Art (who left) and LightOfHeaven (now inactive for 2 months)

Funn1k being known for his clinkz play as well as being a solid off-laner as well as Kuroky who has both hard carry and support experience with support being his primary role now.

After beating 3DMax and NTH in the 2DL as well as playing in other tournements, today NaVi seems to be at the level they were at around their TI1 win and the finish as TI2 runner-up

Can NaVi sustain the new high level of play they are at or will they crumble?

I'm not speaking from experience this is what I've heard second hand from people I play with.

Supposedly they have another announcement tomorrow so we will have to see what that yields. Their current team comp seems solid but one line up I would love to see after today is xboct naix (even though thats ALL he plays nowadays), dendi storm, and get funn1k back on clinkz

That line up is right down NaVi's super aggressive play style

I doubt dendi will be leaving unless its his choice, I doubt that NaVi would EVER let him go out of contract and with the performance they are working with from the past day or two its kinda hard to say the team hasn't improved

steam or you could just pm them the match id

Kinda makes sense now because Ayesee tweeted about how koroky was gonna be picked up by NaVi before NaVi even announced Ars-Art was leaving and Funn1k was coming in

I was wondering why NaVi would be picking up a wisp player/solo laner when they already had one of the best in LoH

Guess them rumors about Koroky going to NaVi were true

Lol at least you have the badger I'm still rocking the O.G. Donkey

I do have the CM Wards tho

Alas tis is true, HiRez is HORRIBLE with the FtP model but their games are good.

That said now that everything is half off the game basically got completely re balanced. You dont have to spend 20 hrs grinding to the 88k xp items. I dont think the game will be changing so much more unfortunately on the gear side as much because they think its "balanced" but thanks to their business decisions not really.

That said having a FPS game based around CTF vs just killing (CoD/Halo) or around objectives(Battlefield) is amazingly creative and its the only reason I keep playing

The lack of a solid roster really doesnt help.

Dota and LoL can afford to have certain char's imbalanced because they have the giant roster to support balance, Smite really doesnt have that luxury

First of all I've never played LoL, I just know about their large "champion" pool

Unfortunately, I think LoL and Dota really have down the MOBA F2P Model down right and in It's attempt to be different HiRez just screwed up the model like with Tribes. Buying chars and having existing balance problems just really shows they arn't doing it right

I just wish that drops would look at the heroes you play/are good at and you got more drops of those heros vs those you NEVER play

ex. I'm like 1/3 with omni (all randoms) and I have i think 2 rares for him. Sure the bling is nice, but I never show it off so whats the point lol

So its just an idea, but I think it would be fun to do a SHOM Tournament/Event

For those who dont know SHOM stands for Single Hero Only Mid
Basically we either choose or randomly pick a hero in the Mid Only game mode and have a 5v5 in the mid lane.

This could be arranged to be on IH Sunday or some other time that would work for the interested people.

Any Thoughts?

Its just kinda stupid fun also helps explore roles a bit more than you might think.

Auras are king

Migglypuff: Yes I realize that I have more experience than the rest of the players and that's why I'm only a sub not a regular participant

It was all free thought on hero selection (little to no strategy)

We came to the realization that pubs weren't the place to start with a new player group, probably will be boting next time around

Also the teams weren't stacked with more experienced players I checked both games and if I recall correctly I was the only player above 100 wins except for maybe Sauce in our second game

I do want to make a suggestion: A group of 4 new players (sub 100 wins) with one seasoned player that play a game or two against bots. Its kinda where it seems to be heading anyways, but I'm just putting it out there now. Pubs do not seem to be the best place for a learning environment. Winning vs Losing seems to take over instead of learning the game.
