Was excited to come across someone speaking English in voice chat. He died chasing a dude in the enemy jungle for some reason, then spent the whole game screaming n-bombs and telling us to uninstall. Not sure what I expected of voice chat.

I really wish there was better incentive for guild groups vs rando groups - its too easy for me to click the gimme game button rather than dig deeper for a guild run.

Yeah they need better guild goals or maybe individual rewards for teaming up with guild mates. I mean you get more guild points but it doesn’t seem good enough to make a huge difference.

I think you get a +Gold/+XP bonus for teaming with friends? There's also some sort of friendship level which you can build up with your friends, not sure what the point of it is though.

I think the key to winning games in the initial low ELO / ranks you get thrown in is just disregarding your team, not filling, and just playing a character that can carry the game. As soon as I adopted a "gently caress these guys, I'm playing a hard carry" instead of "Well, I guess we need a tank instead of a second ADC, I'll play that," my win rates started going way up. You basically need to look at AoV as a 9v1 game where four of the nine enemies are people who can't attack you. Playing support/tank in games with teams who are just totally loving clueless is unbelievably frustrating.

So I just kicked mad rear end and got mvp with Veera, then I go to read about her and she is D tier. Is that the magic of this game, or should I be trying to learn a different mage?

Edit: or just know I’ll get my rear end kicked my people who know what they are doing?

MarcusSA

Imo if you are good with and enjoy the character stick with it. If you are good enough you’ll kick rear end like 99% of the time.

Yeah I think it’s similar to most MOBAs where tier lists either don’t matter or only matter in upper tiers. Only have a history with dota 2 so I can’t speak for league.

Yeah if you are gonna be competitive then I guess it would definitely matter but for a dumb cellphone game just play what you enjoy and have fun.

Right now I'm doing really well with Ignis but that's primarily because the enemy team in Gold ranks apparently still don't know how to not stand in poo poo and the stuns that his AoE ability does allows even the dumbest of my team mates to go in and do some damage.

She's pretty good. I would not spend gold on any champion though, you need to be spending your gold on T3 Arcana. At 2000g a pop, and no way to convert gems/vouchers into gold they will be your main bottleneck.

(Made it to Gold II last night! Mainly playing Zephys Jungle, and Arthur Top lane)

Why in the hell does my hero keep moving in a direction that I'm not using the virtual dpad to move it in? I'm not being targeted or drawn by another hero power, the loving thing just keeps running in the wrong direction.

I may quit anyway, the reporting system is hosed. In the last 2 days I was reported enough times that my cred went from 100 to 94. I did not play yesterday. I had played 2 casual games today (one of which I was MVP and one I was in the top 2). The game is not fun enough for this kind of fuckery.

I've got several hundred games played and the only hit on my cred is when i disconnect during a match. It only takes me one or two games to get back to 100. What are you doing to get reported(and subsequently penalised, afaik it's not automatic) so much?

The moving you're talking about is probably due to targetting, if you press attack and you're out of range, it'll move you in range. You can fiddle with the targeting options to tune them to your liking.

No idea. Never had an issue before, and I have a lot of games under my belt - level 21. I was using Butterfly to jungle in one game and Yorn in the middle on the other. Annoying at best.

Filthy ragequitter in our team, and we won still.
I like how the system even pushes you to report a player.
AoV is my first MOBA, and like you guys said either you steamroll the opponent or you get wrecked. The Joker is fun in trash casual ranks, I am still learning the ropes after like a dozen games. I am comfortable with the Tablet UI, and 1-3 games 3v3 or 5v5 from the couch are chill and fun.

Question: I did not start ranked play. I could play 3v3 ranked but not 5vs5, the option „find a match“ can’t be used.
Is this only for premade groups?

You need to get to a certain level before 5v5 ranked is unlocked for you.
