you'd need more stats than they could count. I mean heals auras partial kill. upgrades some of that stuff could actually be bad so how could u judge. I mean more units could mean yay more units to overwhelm them or more feed for them. How would u interpret them. Their is no one best player.

Also, some quick thoughts on last hitting:

Last hitting evolved the gameplay of DotA. This is not yet profitable in Demigod. In the case of Demigod However, an incentive must also be made to actually kill the creeps on the opposing side. If I don't get gold from killing creeps, why bother killing them? The whole reasoning behind last hitting was a duality : First was to get the gold from the creep from the "last hit" as gold was awarded in that fashion. Secondly, last hitting reduced your influence on the creep wave's push, thusly delaying the game's end and allowing you to gain more gold in a more safe gold farming environment in between the first towers of each lane. After all, the towers freaken decimated those creeps, which meant that more creeps from the opposing side would survive for you to last hit. What I'm getting at by saying this is that last hitting wasn't simply a means to an end, but also served as an evolution of gameplay, where delaying the actual win would ensure your ability to win the game through a higher level and more items gained by last hitting creeps for gold and denying your opponent of experience. On top of that, the towers would make it an allied competition over creep kills, where if the computer wins, you lose.

-and this is only the first 5-20 minutes of the game.

Ganking is something absent from Demigod as well. The lack of ambush points makes everything a head-on conflict. A disadvantaged character has few ways of winning a battle. In the case of DotA, skilled players could utilize juking, powerup runes, hiding allies outside of sight range, and alternate ambush points to gain an actual fighting or escaping advantage against the enemy despite health loss, debuffage, outnumbering, etc.

As it is now, people take turns breaking each other's dicks off aiming skills at each other. Since there's only going to be 8 demigods in this next release, there will only be 8 dicks on which to break. And few ways of customizing your dick. Only to make it longer and blacker. In which response is to fight their longer, blacker dick with your longer, blacker dick. Eventually someone's going to get spooged in the eye.

I see where you're coming from for the disadvantages of last hitting. From an outsider's perspective, it seems as though this intra-competition and game delaying would be bad. However, any attempt to "end the game" puts your character's future on the line. i.e. if you fail that push, you've just set your team back. being dead means you can't farm, defend, support, etc. Delaying the game's end , defending pushes, then choosing the most optimal time to push (this could be early or late, not just *whenever* or *constantly*, the point was directing gameflow) was a gameplay must in higher-level competitive DotA. However, this is not something that's needed in Demi, just made aware of. In fact, I would rather not see last hitting involved in DG gameplay. However, there does need to be something to evolve DG's gameplay in the future. Or else it is just an attempt at a game rather than a game in itself. Drawing parallels to DotA gives us a guideline, some strengths and some weaknesses. And something to be aware of. Perhaps we'll see that more and more as different kinds of people from all different kinds of other games transpose their strategies onto this one.

Stat tracking, if you want any at all (which is debateable) should be done as in World in Conflict, which is almost identical in terms of team structure and dependancy.

You're choosing the completely wrong game to gripe about system requirement woes there. WiC was one of the most efficient games of the current generation - it looked far better, and needed far lower specs than what should have been possible. Extremely good LoDing and efficient use of FX.

I understand that a standard ladder maybe shouldn't be the only thing that determines matchmaking but saying that it will make unbalanced teams just isn't true.  Unless the player pool is really small there should be a variety of players so it isn't like they are going to pair bad players with awesome players unless it works in the opposite direction.  I mean I like the idea of stat tracking but isn't all your effort for naught if you lose.  I mean I don't think it should be black and white but you can't speculate that magically one guy will always end up with bad players so he will keep losing and then they will still magically pair him with worse players.  It just doesn't make sense.  Also the points about last hitting are right and tactics are right.  I mean I know there are going to be a lot of items and spells but I would just like to see positioning of your demigod play more of a role in how well you do instead of face to face combat maybe some way to ambush more because it is possible now but hard.

I agree.  I should be able to play the biggest, slowest demigod and still be able to ambush, please.   

Fire-Ice.........what?

In every build, all of the mine's Regulus planted were always invisible to the enemy. The only reason why the mines were visible in the screenshot is because that Regulus planted them. You can see what you plant, but no one else can.

Yah regulus seems like now he can do some quick damage. Using his creeps to protect him.

I don't actually mean use but more of have creeps that he can't control.
