where are the good players? » Forum Post by ddd888

If you're just starting, you're playing against people that are also just starting. You picked up the learning curve more easily. People have and will catch up to you or you will continue to improve. Either way, you're doing well. Keep it up.

Either that or you're playing against AI's

if its custom games maybe you happen to be lucking out with a good team that can take care of the other team while you push through. Or the other teams haven't been all that good yet. Or if its not custom games it could be that you're getting matched up with AI

He's probably playing Erebus, because Erebus is OP. He's obviously being carried by his own demigod.

lol no ai, i just play custom games to avoid ai so there is no matchmaking at all

and not erebus either since its not my favorite demigod , last games i just tried to pick up the weakest (imo) demigods to give opponents a chance or even try some strange spec but still...

Here have a badge for being 'the best' at a game that is still almost all new players with little idea of what they are doing. How about you try and help the people you are 'dominating' instead of just crushing them. If you help 5 people this way so they get good then you have a nice little 3v3 group to play with

i mean i know i am good but since i didnt play in the beta i dont think im *THAT* good but still... i didnt lose a game in the last days maybe a week and not one of them even close to losing

some games were embarassing i remember today a game i won with war rank 2 and char under lvl 10, killing everything through the turrets fire without any upgrade or item

dunno, i found it strange, its a new game, i understand it but since there is not difference in equip or lvl or anything i cant understand how is possible im dominating that much

Hahahahahahahaha oh man. At you, not with you.

You can usually find higher quality opponents on Gameranger. Something about who takes the effort to learn about Gameranger instead of just mashing the Multiplay button.

i agree with post #1 ive been playin since last thursday and i lost all my games the first 2 days and now i havent lost in a long long time, i know the learning curve isnt that huge but its pretty easy for me to stomp aynone im rly looking forward the new pantheon starting on friday and i hope the new patch will fix alot of the crash because when idont win my game just crash and it pisses me off so bad me and my friend sometime can have a hardtime playing a game for 1 or 2 hours and we just give up, it happens tome on 2 diferent day our game just crashed and it was totally retarded.

Most of us do play on GameRanger or just sporadically the beta testers we basically play against each other since most of you so called self proclaimed good players still have a lot to learn. It is not always fun to destroy every self proclaimed new good player you play so why play?

Successfully updated karma reason!

oh i lost a game yesterday, even though my mate was really noob

still good to finally find some good match

and i played the best game ever too

was a 3 v3 we started really bad and they were always ahead of us, equippign demigod with artifacts, there was an erebus and regulus and some other that reached lvl 20 while we were stuck at 15 16 i think

their regulus was pwning everyone but we managed to defend some more flag and it was really tough, so we got war rank 10 while they were at 8 and we won with giants with a miracle last minute conquest at one of their portals

if any of them is reading i wanna thank for the great game

is gameranger different in any ways?

ok, if you vs a beta player you're probably going to lose, i played with 2 last night (im also a beta player) really really good game, was a 2v2 the other team won because i didnt pick up a 3k hp potion in time =.= so close though, the whole way we were ~ same level, and it was tb+oak vs tb(me)+reg.

if you want to vs good players make a game with the name PROS ONLY.

Successfully updated karma reason!

So doing a quick check on Pantheon your stats say that you always play with the same people.

Considering you're playing with set-up teams and probably voice-comm why don't you go find some set-up teams as well?

Funny how you say *I* am good while not even playing random matches at all...

The whole PROS ONLY in the title doesn't really make much difference. PRO ONLY generally brings in the top say 20% of players who think they are good. When the aim for some players is to tap into that top 1% and have as many competitive matches as possible.

and @ Lethstang, stats don't mean anything imo.

Typical night... At least like 1 in 3 games i get in a game, someone has a simspeed of like 0 or is causing massive lag and I'm not going to play in a game like that, it isn't fun, so I leave. thats 0-1

1 in 3 games ill be playing 2v2 with my friend, the other team will ragequit 10 minutes in, and we don't want to finish the game against bots, it isnt fun, so we leave. thats still 0-1

and say the 3rd game we get a match, no lag, other team handles their defeat well and doesnt leave. 1-1

at this point we are burnt out because it took 2 hours to have 1 decent game against some mediocres.

Problem is with the multiplayer issues, players being split up from each other through various means, and the game-breaking bugs, like skills not working your first try.

Actually he's 61 in the custom game rankings and seems to be playing only custom games. The overall rankings are dominated by people who play minute-long games against no opponents, so they aren't a good indication of anything.

ddd888, try challenging other real teams only. Two strangers have to be extremely good to beat two people communicating via voice and all in all co-operating.

When I see "PROS ONLY!!11!" in the title, I avoid the game at all costs.

well i can even make a game called "only girls with big boobs" but that doesnt mean they are gonna come

unfortunately the game name wont matter so much, i write EU game ALWAYS and in every game 2 3 from US try to join with 300 ping
