Im afraid I have to agree with the OP.

I usually play UB, and have played probably about 50 matches and usually score best for our side. I consider myself a pretty good player. Yet against someone who plays erebus well, I have no chance against someone 3 levels below me with less gold (ie loss items).

You can argue I dont know how to play well, but I dont buy that. You can argue its not about 1 vs 1, but 80% of the time it is. Maybe theres some trick I should be using but Im damned if I know what it is.

Pretty sad when you get steamrolled in a 2v2 citadel, only to see the score sheet, and see that both of your side was a couple of levels higher with a bit more gold. Fortunately we were able to kill his teammate a decent amount.

err.... the trick is called hit and run.

spit on him, get away. then respit and melee him.

you can also buy several usable items that inflict direct damage. use scrolls to remove debuffs you get.

Do not engage when he is running around with an entourage of like 10 nightwalkers....

Mommy, the kids at school are bullying me again! *sniff*

He is not over powered in fact last night I played aginst Oak and he killed me Nerf Oak ,also QoT killed me Nerf her to, thats all...oh wait TB,UB,Rook,Sedina,and Reg killed me to so nerf them...Bleh!

lol

nooo im going to be nerfed ahhh

the reason they killed u is proberly because u dont know how to use him  but he defiently anit op  late games he seems to die more

I agree 100%. I've lost a few matches because some of my team8s were obsessed by FPS-style streetfigting against enemy DGs.

I was even insulted once, on the team chat, by an ally who taunted me because I had not killed one single DG in the very first minutes of the game. (It was not a slaughter match, and I was an Ice TB.) His "strategy" for killing enemy DGs was taking too many tactical risks : for each 1 kill he got, as a Regulus, he was himself killed 3 times!)

Self-centered streetfigting tactics do not represent the long-range strategy required to achieve victory objectives as a team.

The crucial problem, at the moment, unless you're playing with friends, is having the random luck of winding up in a competent team. It's almost impossible to detect mature, cooperative team8s in the game-setup lobby.

And so how the game finished? Who win? Wich map? Sedna + rook I think you should have dominated early in the game but need extra infos. Build of the rook and your sedna?

...For a minute I thought you were my opponent, but you played the rook/sedna.

My team just got out of an ESL match 2v2 against double erebus. Same exact setup as you. We won, tripling their damage, quadrupling total kills. They were good, and played my rook perfectly, but I supported the sedna to get all of the kills. I think its a fact of incompetence over demigod choice.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I don't think balance can even be judged for a long time. Not until a competitive scene develops where actual good players fight eachother in an organized manner. The majority of these people crying for balance changes are most likely pub heroes who got spanked, and are ignorant of their own class.

Wahh...I get spanked by erebus...

;_;

I am a little surprised about the speed reduction TBH, it would still be a good ability without that.

Considering he does have bat swarm, it's not like he has much trouble chasing people down.

You play dota? I'm sorry for stepping on your toes.

They mean the same thing.

heres a hint:

kill the healers for the generals FIRST. they heal like 600+ a pop, and with 2 priests its 1200 hp recoverd regulary for the general. Erebus is squishy no matter the eqipment and he can't take the damage of 2 other demigods at the same time without his priests. He can mist or bat away but performing hit and run like that will eat his mana faster than he can recover. i he went for mana reg items, he will be even squishier.

key is to look at all items in the store. theres one to remove debuffs, one to buff your health by 50% temporaily...
