To summarise it will be east asia, eurasia, and oceania

Right now I think the strengths and weaknesses of the different countries is as follows from my experience:

Americans: rely on builds that depend on heavy team work with specialized set piece characters. Balanced between offensive and defensive.

Koreans: ultra aggressive builds. They rely on self-sufficiency with all their characters having the ability to look after themselves and function as individuals.

Europeans: much more defensive builds and much more mixed. Overall Europeans prefer role-play however.

Japanese: fast at adapting to their environment. Also very good at managing skill combos, energy, HP etc. from their experiences playing traditional Japanese RPGs like Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Magic etc.

Chinese: known for their extremely good calculation skills, all builds are worked out on paper using maths and numbers before they are sent into actual battle. Very efficient and balanced.

The reason I ask is because if this is not the case, it explains why the other countries are beginning to and will continue to dominate HoH. American HoHers tend to be arrogent build fanatics who are hell-bent on having only R3or better players, of certain types only. This limits the number of potentially good players in their ranks, and the developement of a new build by accidental PUG victories. It's a real shame, American practices are our biggest threat. I'm an American saying this, just fyi. I stopped trying to get into HoH teams a while ago, my rank just isn't high enough, and IWAYing is not the answer, no offense to IWAYers.

Translation of the above, if American players make a build, someone can copy it, if someone copies it and improves upon it while the Americans hold to only the original build, the American build loses.

AMEN!! Its called adaptability and if something refuses to change it WILL perish. I would think the more people that were allowed to join in PUG's the more variety of builds there would be. Americans can indeed be the most snobbish A-holes ever.

Hell, just tryed to go into the Tombs the other night and NO one wanted my ele/mes. Told that the only thing that works in the tombs are rangers, monks and necros. sigh And trying to get into the Underworld is just as bad.I am getting quite sick of the elitist attitudes in the upper areas of this game. Im a good player but no one will ever know it cause Im and ele.

Back to the topic. I for one welcome our new Japanese overlords

smack some good sense back into my elite/snobbish American brothers and sisters.

I like the in-game factions idea. No form of racism.

I'll add my vote to eliminating the real life region names. I am quite sick of all this these people are better than those people at such and such as a sterotyped whole. it'd be nice to just judge every match individually so that the most you could say was this particular team was good or this particular team was bad. anyhting beyond that you don't really have evidence for.

Opinions aren't very useful. Facts are.
