you just have to suffer through it. After a while they've spent a few thousand gold on items that work once whereas you can save up for an ashkandor and rape them and their families anyways. (True story)

Unless it's a dominate map, in which case, the game's about over.  Especially that one map with only one flag.

30sec cooldown for Flag Cap

30sec cooldown for Teleport Scroll

On top of that, each costs 250 gold.  Now, even if both people did this, that would be two flags capped and held for 30sec after which your team can cap if they tried.  Your team could harrass them off of a flag, or just cap the extra flag (there's always 3) and gang up 2vs1 on a single flag of theirs.

It's a great methode that can easily be rectified by doing the same yourself ang then ganging up against the enemy.  My team did this after the enemy team started blocking off flags with caps.  We won because we got the most kills both in creeps and players so our citadel quickly upgraded and our creeps pushed way back into their territory.

"Best defense is a good offense!"

well, you make it sound as if this is an exploit. this is the way demigod is played. No matter what game type your playing locking flags can be advantageous simply to put the other team behind in war score.

Seems to me that they'll have a better warscore, but much less mula to spend on upgrades...

I think I would only be worried if the opponent also got a QoT or UB in the team. Due to their capability of taking down towers at low level (no, not with uproot).

Meh, don't really know for sure because I haven't fight anyone who use cap right yet in 2v2.

He didn't say it was an exploit, he said it ruins the game for him. I tend to agree. It's effective, but it's not even remotely fun.

For some reason I keep thinking that you can use a flag lock to undo another flag lock... anyone able to confirm this?

And what's wrong about this strategy?

They are spending to do that, it's not free

Maybe there could be a bit of balance on prices, but you can't say it's a lame strategy..

Pretty much what everyone else said. Use your experience advantage to pound them. Use your income towards cit. upgrades. You'd be suprised how much of a difference they can make. They'll waste their money on disposables while you have better creeps/items and are higher level.

As the others said, when you see locks coming out you know you are in for a fight as the other team knows what they are doing. Be prepared for a tough and fun game!

In the game I mentioned, it was terrible because I played rook so I couldn't really make it across the map very fast, also favor items were enabled and my favor was glitched so i had no favor items to work with. We were already at a disadvantage. Yeah you guys were right about waiting it out and farming creeps the whole time. I was trying to out maneuver them, which failed horribly. It got to the point where they had flag locked both our portal flags(this was on cataract) and there was really no way to stop them.

I also think we were ahead in levels by the end, but we faced erebus and oak, so whenever one person was in trouble oak would pop the 'SAVE ME FROM DYING' shield and they would get away. Also whenever one person was alone 1v1 going against me or my friend, the other person would teleport so all of a sudden it was 2v1. Very frustrating match.

As good as this sounds, it's too simplistic. They would literally flag lock and then run to another flag that we had captured.
