Way too easy with Mitev

That moment when balance is 89% - 11% and the only death I had happened cause I dived at T4 towers for kills like a greedy fuck.

Shoutout to kashatura1(Magnus) and vuhvel (Treant) for their outstanding supporting throughout the game. Was a pleasure to play with them.

[Happy..]

Ah, the old "pasting the 50-50 balance message into chat so the people won't leave during the countdown" trick.

And this isn't even TooShade's final form!

Yes he abuses CoMMoN's and mine copyrighted trick that much, so people are calling ME TooShade when i do this eventually

And i get various flame (towards tooshade) whispers just from random people who are not even in game
Very fun !

What a stupid way to get banned..

[Jimmy]

This is a good place as any then. Also  very public , good.

When you stack a game severely in your favor so you can rape noobs and get 1PSR, but instead you end up being humiliated and destroyed on mid, flamed by your own stacked team, losing the game and 5PSR, while furthermore being publically backlashed on the forum and getting warned for abusing bot announcements.

ok this got my attention. Why would someone be warned/banned for using "FAKE BALANCE (!)" when a host is not obliged to do balance or do any other mode while saying its ap or whatever?

If this is the reason "faking official bot announcements is not allowed." Its not a valid reason either, a player cannot fake bot or even a mod unless he has some access (for mod case). Anyone who plays in this server is aware of bots color or any kind of elements so he can understand what is going on and its really obvious unless hes not paying attention. As mentioned previously, a host is not obliged to use !balance ingame

I'm guessing it's a ban-able offense cause it has malicious / misleading nature. I think of it kind of like that old "press Alt + QQ to see something special" spam. Sure, 99% of the population will not fall for something so obvious, but there's always gonna be at least that one random dude or an unknowing kid who's actually gonna try and do it just to see what happens.

It also reminds me of the "Red bull, gives you wings!" advertisements that had to be withdrawn cause of lawsuits claiming that the commercials imply you can actually gain wings if you drink red bull. The bullshit coming out of it can be "abused" from both ends. In short, it's misleading, exploitable, potentially harmful, and frankly speaking - a dick move. Looking at it like that, it probably should be a ban-able offense.

If this is the reason of that ban, I still think its not valid or rather, other rules should be implemented by this logic

[AntlermanXXL]

Most of rules are made for comfortable and fluent game/forum experience

I myself, who created most of these tricks in order to get a game as 5 deers squad, agree that it is not friendly move and probably must be sanctioned, as it violates 'comfortable and fluent game/forum experience' idea

p.s.: in our case, we are not tryharding, so not really a 'dick' move here, we tend to let enemies win and get fun for ourselves

I still dont agree on this. if in this case shade or whoever use this so called "trick" is getting warned or bananed I say that there are plenty of things which should be treated same way. Since they are not treated same way, this one shouldnt be also
