Think I got most of you guys in [TGM] now, draquish and tolosegt left I think ^_^

@Lumpy: Why didnt you join the clan game u nab =@


EDIT: Cant wait for 1.5! MATCHMAKING MUDDA .....! STATS RESET W00T!

"There will also be two new heroes called Vindicator and Rampage. These are
speculated to be direct ports of Silencer and Spirit Breaker from DotA, but are not totally confirmed as of yet.
Image

The other updates in the new patch will be things such as Matchmaking, New Game Mode, Stats Reset and PSR Scaling and even more Hero and Item Balance Tweaks.

Matchmaking:
The new Matchmaking system will allow solo players to queue for Ranked games, putting 10 players of similar skill together and then starting the game. More additions to this mode will be made to include full or partial teams at a later date.

New Game Mode:
The new game mode will be similar to the –cm (captains mode) in DotA. This will open up the playing field for more competitive games as it will allow players to pick in the format of 1-2-2-2-2-1 as well as allowing teams to ban heroes in a 1-1-1-1-1-1 fashion.

Stats Reset and PSR Scaling:
The new patch will also feature a revised PSR scaling technique which compensates for the latest changes to the PSR system. Unfortunately, all player stats will also be reset to zero.

Hero and Item Balance Tweaks:
In addition to all these fantastic new addons and features, there will also be hero and item balances in order to even the game out so that everyone competes at a level playing field."

No, PSR is going to be re-scaled(dont really know what they mean by that),only Stats are gonna be reset.
So basically your gonna have "2 numbers" now,your PSR(Public) and your Matchmaking(MSR I guess)

1.5 PATCH IS OUT! 2 New Heroes,Balances etc. Sadly they coudnt manage to get Matchmaking for this patch :( WOHOOO SCALED PSR AND STATS RESET :love:

VINDICATOR/SILENCER!

Its like the Captain Mode from DotA :) There a captain for each team(pink blue),they both get to ban 2 Heroes(so a total of 4 heroes banned),then the rest is the usual way

+Infinity

If the other team knows what they're doing all they need to do is stun him as he teleports in for an easy kill.

5on1 isnt the best situation to be in, even if you are a tank.

Yeah, but not far enough to actually make a difference, better to go with andromeda so you actually do something for the team.

Hell yeahh, I'm so going to be pro with that archer, I'm guessing she will be ranged/agility with a badass bow/crossbow?

Can't wait, I was going to apply for a hero like that :3
