Same question. Is there enough regular playing NA players to make a TA guild? If so, I would consider it...
I have enough glory/ice to make the TA guild. Just please reply if you want one, and if you will play. #
Cool. Are you on NA? What rank are you? I was SA Silver before the reset but I am PG Gold now. I had just joined Team Decentish before the update but they have like 200 members on Band so it may take a while to get me in the in-game guild. I would rather have a TA guild of 20-50 players. If you make one, invite me. IGN is same as here.
I'm in NA and would be interested in joining a TA guild! In-game name (with the underscore): Adams_Immersive I try to play 1 to 3 games daily as often as I can (I miss a few days) sometime between 8pm and 1am US Eastern. I peaked at Tier 5, plummeted like a dead condor down to Tier 3 when they split Ranked and Casual, and now 1.9 has adjusted me to Tier 4. So... I don't know what tier I should be! Somewhere in the middle? I'm not hard core and never will be, but I know the basics and keep improving. I know how IGC works, I don't steal last-hits, and I don't give up in terror when I see a Kraken, and I know my lane from my jungle Best with Koshka, 2nd best with Celeste or Ringo. (Android has free Takas now, which Celeste cannot counter, so I foresee dark days for my favorite laner Celeste.)
Finding the new season irritating so far, I do well and get decent team mates for a few games and win mostly. But then I suddenly get paired with two morons or even just 1 that completely drags the team down makes it hard to do well with your rank when you seem to be paired with people of lower skill levels. Edit: anyone active on EU? I've started playing Ardan a lot more now as I often find if I play a support role I firstly enjoy it more but also it helps to make poor people a little better. I never really use to use Ardan though it was always Krul, Adagio, skarrf, celeste, ringo and taka mostly but I do like to switch around. So far in finding the new hero weak, I've had a few great games with him but overall I prefer Ardan and adagio as support.
Hey I'm kinda a noob but if there's still space in the NA guild, I'd love to join. IGN is TA_FRnchFRy
I am willing to spend the ICE/Glory if I know we will have the support on an NA guild. We should have 10+ people willing to commit and I see maybe 4. :-/
I'm on EU, UK time zone for me but I work nights so my hours playing differ from normal UK times a little. But hey to everyone else I've been away a while but I thought if you make a team you can only play vs other teams? Not make a team of 3 then go play against ranked players with a random squad. I had a game the other day where it was me and 2 ransoms on ranked vs a team of 3 all from the same guild and were probably team speaking or something from the looks of it. Seems unfair. Although if you can do that I need more friends that are good as when I get a decent laner and great damage dealer in the jungle I win most of the time using Arran to support. Getting so tired of people picking two jungle or two lane though forcing me to take whatever the other role is and have no support and lose most of the time because they pick selfishly. Although played Ardan as damage a few times because of this and he's pretty awsome at that even and I love not worrying about energy.
Unfortunately solo queue players do get matched with parties. A frustrating result of the player base still being too small to have separate queues? How much does it cost? I didn't see the price in-game.
That sucks : ( did they change something with karma too? I've never ever left a game rather than a rare DC with I get back into the game anyway but lately my karma seems to fluctuate instead of being great all the time.
They changed Karma for Sept. and it was almost impossible to get, and very easy to lose. For Oct., it's still almost impossible to get, but now it's slightly easier to keep. It's heavily based on your skill now, not on "good behavior." But not skill determined by wins/losses/Elo, but simply by strangers' opinions: people thumbs-upping you. You need a lot of thumbs-ups, including from enemies, and no thumbs down, to earn/keep Great Karma. I don't think it's a very good system. We already have better ways to reward skill; it made more sense when Karma rewarded good behavior instead. (It does still punish bad behavior. But it's all stick and no carrot! Very little Glory reward for Karma anymore.)
So I made a guild called 'Arcade' for all of us EU players. Please join the guild is open, or I can send you an invite (just write here your username) Looking forward to play with all of you!
I have the same problems, but a good EU guild with helpful members should solve that problem. So come and join 'Arcade' guild #
Ouch, the old system I'm use to was much better. It seems silly doing it on the thumbs up or down considering how many times I'm paired with morons and that fact that most people don't give thumbs up to you when you dominate them anyway. I get it fairly often still playing Ardan but mainly just from my team through helping them. But I'm only up to rank 5 at the minute no idea how far they even go or anything these days? But started off this season at the bottom because I hadn't played in so long.
The old system flat out didn't work. It was too lenient on AFKers and toxic players. The new one works MUCH better to ban those kind of players. I have already seen it happen. Unfortunately Great Karma (with the 20% glory bonus) is challenging to get. If you never AFK, and are never toxic, and be a decent player, you will eventaully achieve it for a few games at least... P.S. I also hate that teams and solo queue players are in the same place. They do try to match teams together but it doesn't work if there aren't enough in the queue. Hopefully soon they will split it completely.
I have had two messages since I've been back saying someone I rated down has been banned now. The teams and solo really do need to be sperate, they use to be didn't they? Yes keeping great karma is impossible as I imagine I'm getting rated down sometimes for some reason as it never stays at great, although really what's 20% of a whole 30 or so you get for winning. I hate it when you have players spamming all the time who don't know what they are doing and people running though the jungle doing nothing while player fights are happening or turrets going down, they should lose rating for down votes. But then it's too trusting on other players. How hard is it to get these skins now! Nowhere near even getting one yet. Also what am I suppose to do with epic and legendary cards? Will I need those for t2 and t3 ones? If I ever even get t1
