going by timestamp
2:20 ) you, necro, and thief went far, engi and ranger went home. no fight on home at all, they just doublecapped #sapphire. the thief pretty much ran the enemy thief off the point, so you and the necro contributed nothing for the first 30 seconds of the game. you also wasted decoy in fear of a thief backstab, but he was at like 1 health when he disengaged, the chances of him coming back round to hit a condi mes with a thief and a neco around is low.
3:00 ) you drop some stuff, necro with low health from being dh’d decides to suicide into the dh for some reason. you and thief res him casually, sip your coffee on the ledge, and then drop some aoes. low health enemy thief decides to try and steal your coffee, gets downed, enemy team pays respects by following. you res your thief, dodge backwards, and decoy from the sheer sight of the enemy teams respects. 3 people on mid now vs a bunch of dead people, nobody leaves until their dead, necro goes far, thief caps, and follows you home.
4:00 ) you go home (with thief behind), where engi and ranger are 2v1ing (now 4v1ing) a cleric ele. you chase after the ele, the thief does as well. mid gets decapped. if only there was some way for a player to move vast distances instantaneously to prevent this. thief downs ele while you return to mid, where the engi is fighting a dh. you skill click f5 to moa him, and like 50% of moas on dh’s, it gets blocked. you walk over his fence to take damage just to spite him, then backwards dodge-decoy into another trap which dazes you. you move off point, use signet of illusions to refresh your shatters (but don’t even use f4 before doing so), use f3 immediently to… clear cripple or something, idk, potato quality. you phase retreat off the node.
5:00 ) you f1 3 clones onto the dead dh from off point to try and kill to save your teammate. you then decide to stomp, and then forget you have f4 and get knocked back. luckily he dies from bleeding out. you move around a bit, and then full health decoy because the thief passed you, only to reveal yourself a second later by shattering.
5:00 ) you decide the blue node is a stupid place to be (it is), and decide to guard the home ledge from the incoming threat. another coffee break, and then a half hearted attempt to save your ranger. you random dodge backwards, decide to go down the valley, and decoy to drop target. 3 of your team go far, so you follow. home gets decapped. ranger tries to get to home to stop the decap, fails. you win your 4v2 (and weaponswap for it finally)
6:50 ) guardian with horseblinders nearly loses his point. you random dodge beside him, f2, then decoy for no reason, interrupt him dropping a trap, then walk into his trap. your thief goes down from trap spam, you revive, engi shows up. far gets decapped, engi returns there. you leave mid, thief caps mid.
7:30 ) worlds most obvious moa everyone. it’s a good thing he lived before he died of embarassment. you win the 2v1 with the ele, in the meanwhile, your team zerged far while leaving mid open to be capped. ranger comes with you to mid, i think the thief’s there too at some point. you moa the guardian 3v1 and win. you move to far, where there’s a downed fight. you start off by confusing the downed thief, while your thief actually goes and kills the dh who is alive and was going to res/stomp. then you drop chaos storm once they’re not actually a threat anymore, and proceed to 3v2 the dead bodies off point.
9:30) you move to mid, which just finished capping red, and then random dodge back to home. thief is capping far. home is a 2v1 right now, ele/dh vs your ranger. you use f3 (to interrupt the celestial avatar skill i guess), but your clones get cleaved down from the trap. you cast shield 5 and rng blesses you on the return position. ele goes down, you cleave while ranger mashes on the dh. dh hits you with true shot, you decide to decoy and shatter instantly for some reason. he dies just as the thief comes to +1 a 2v1.
10:30 ) omega beast goes on a rampage
10:45 ) you blink to get to far faster, you probably could have used two phase retreats to get there just as fast without blowing the cd. thief comes too because why not 10 points to personal score. you decide to play cameraman for a couple seconds, in case enemies come from your own spawn. you then move to mid.
11:20 ) omega beast goes on a rampage with thief support. you shield 5 a dead guy, walk into a fence, and then f3 the dead guy. once your not stunned anymore, you decoy since it’s off cd, and then autoattack/shatter/etc while you 3v1 the dh on point. it goes 3v2 for a moment, but then it’s okay because the necro shows up so it’s 4v2. you leave to go check home, which the ranger is already doing, while your low health thief and engi go down on the point. thief dies, engi dies, necro gets focused, you phase off point, decoy, and use your heal skill for the first time i think? necro dies, you run to your gate and then cut to far.
12:30 ) a dh follows you while you decap it. you fight him while also checking what your skills do. you leave the point just as your engi comes to help you, and he backoffs just as you get to mid. during this time duke nukem won’t shut the kitten up about your lord, which your respawning team manages to deal with. your engi dies on far, while your team capitalizes on the enemy team being dead by taking everything. game over.
build wise, you never use scepter at all really. idk why you even have it. if you want to run it over sword, feel free, but at least switch weapons more than 4 times in a game.
signet of the ether is really really bad here. at least use ether feast, or well of eternity. it does nothing for you. the passive heal is subpar at best, and only seems to work for you because you aren’t in melee range, ever, which is sadly something you have to be if you want to use your shatters well. maybe scepter is allowing you to do that, i don’t really know, but for the most part you’re walking out of fights alive because you weren’t really in them.
just get rid of decoy. you never used it once for the stunbreak, and you spent most of your time using it to drop imaginary targets. the amount of times your team left points to be decapped, you might as well slot in portal, even if you hate it.
i’m too lazy to come up with anything else
