yea, waht they fail to realise is this, simple is good!
i know it might look cool and everyone loves a stacked hero... so true... but an ordinary map that runs off of no heros would be so much more interesting...
and more challenging, i mean with all the items you can get your hero can dominate and then a lucky click and a unlucky misclick could get all that flushed down the toliet and suddenly that player who has died is all pissed now and leaves.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
