not during this weekend, thanks to all you steady stance and hexway noobs that lack the skill to play balanced for a good challenge.

ruin the game some more, go, make TA as bad as HA with your gimmicks, i know you can do it.

/whineover

yes, it used to be, not anymore, too many farming noobs, and playing one balanced simply CANNOT spec vs all TA gimmicks atm.

As glad 4 im gonna disagree to gimmick builds ruining it so far this weekend, ive found many fun ways to counter the lot of them and still get glads.

Just take time to think up a build on your own. Dont just take a look at the skills you consider to be "good", look at all of them. The current TA meta can be crushed.

we do think off builds whythankyou.

you can obviously go against gimmicks, but as i said, NOT EVERY SINGLE BUILD. i'll be keen to see your build against every single hexway, ritspike, steady stance, zergway, paraway and balanced builds at the same time.

also most TA pats just favor shit like steady (jade map anyone?).

and don't get me started on the glad rank please, i know a lot more higher ranked players that have the same problem so stop boosting ego kthx.

or maybe you ain't european and american is way more original in builds (as i was told so often by now).

and besides, the ping of 1k+ TOTALLY helps when playing a build that requires SKILL to beat BUTTONSMASHERS.

and sure, you can win, but i've never found those games to be fun, especially as many can take ages, and if you face the same build or team the map after, you just don't want to play anymore.

TA has ALWAYS been 3x more fun than HA. HA was more popular only, and only because you got an emoticon. It's a farming arena. I won HoH once and... really, winning 10 games in a row in RA has been more fun for me. It's not that i didnt give HA a chance.. i got to what, r4? And even at r0 it was boring.

TA can be fun for a little bit, but in the end the lack of reward becomes tiresome. Even when you put a decent build together with some good players and start winning, it gets boring quickly. Maybe I have a short attention span, but after 20-30 wins I'm usually falling asleep. As crappy as HA is, the hoh chest and fame are far more amusing than glad points.

Rewards dont make the game fun for me. Playing experience does. Rewards are just numbers poping up on the screen, you can play Excel sheet then, it's more rewarding.

I definitely like TA more then HA, there's much more different stuff people play. Ofc. people play gimmicks too but if you compare it to HA, hell, I've given up playing warrior there because ppl always want to run zerg . In TA I can use my warrior to do warrior-like stuff . People tend to take it less seriously then HA too (don't know why cos it can be &^*&!!! hard), so playing is often much more relaxed.

TA is more fun, but it's slowly becoming like HA as people start farming it.

Bad thing is that it's lame stuff thats easy to play with relatively good results, good thing is that builds like that are predictable as hell, if you can exploit that you're made.
