My teammates kept pushing and i backed off and ported and went back to our tower. They pushed with me single on it with their minions and killed me and got our tower and it was too long on their timers so that is when they got our phoenix. My team came back and chased them off, and then decided they wanted to go for fire giant. Because i have seen it so many times before where the enemy team just bypasses while no phoenix for an easy titan kill i stayed right there for defense where the phoenix spawns, and one of them died and one of them was trying to escape and i went to support but died and then he died. I really didn't want to go but even though i felt they were being dumb i wanted to at least try to help him back to base but he died too and we lost.
One of my team was all ticked off saying it was my fault, but i felt they pressed too much when they both died and that is when i got steamrolled and they got our tower and phoenix. Without any mana I would have died with them when they had no mana and were lower on health, so I feel like we really lost the match when they did that, but also if I had not tried to save my teammate i could have kept the other team back from the titan with enough time for them to get back. Wasn't looking good, but I didn't really have many options after they died at that point. the reason I am typing this is I wanted to see what the general consensus on this situation would be so I could make sure I had my thinking right and also for any suggestions anyone might have.
I also found out something new for myself the hard way as well that match. I had tested out mage's blessing just to see how the mana regen was with the chalice of health and pots because i was getting sick of not having mana so much and i didn't know you couldn't switch to another starter mid match and ended up being at 4 regular build items without the benefit of the starter anymore.
As Bran mentioned, your use of "they" is a bit confusing because there's no context for most of the instances: are you talking about your teammates or the enemy team? You should only use pronouns when it's readily apparent to your audience who you're talking about (e.g. "The enemy team killed mine and then they started pushing the Phoenix and Titan").
didn;t really loose because of it because I didn;t die as fast anymore so I could keep
I obviously get the gist though, so here's some feedback.
Firstly, I'm assuming it's this match. Your teammates were Switch players, and low level at that (7 for the
Considering that, and their records, and their builds...(Chang'e with
However, here's a question for you. Although you had no mana, you did have enough health to divert focus and/or tank some damage. You have 2 options here that would be potentially good, but it's hard to make a call just by your description.
- Even without mana, you can still tank. If you trust your teammates to listen to you (or you're willing to try), you VGS them to retreat (VRR), while you try to distract/hold back the enemies to allow them to retreat. You should also let them know you're out of mana (VVM) so they know not to expect much from you.
- Do the same VGS (retreat, out of mana) to let them know the situation, but don't tank, and just retreat. This is probably the better option cuz I'm going to say they were unlikely to listen. Don't sacrifice yourself for stupid.
In all, I'd say this was probably a lost cause in the beginning, so I wouldn't stress too much on it. But if you aren't, you really should be communicating more with your teammates.VRR: Retreat
VVM: Out of Mana
VBB: Be right back
etc.

I didn't realize that the match was on the myangel0901.
I edited and fixed my post. I have only had a few hours sleep but I think I got the points i needed to make clearer. Sorry to have you wade through it as it was and thanks for your feed back. I have been trying to communicate more but it is a work in progress. the vbb is one i have been using, i need to work on the mana and retreat one. I didn't use the vbb one though because I was focused on getting the heck out of there because i usually get blown up when i don't have mana to do anything and was just really puzzled they had stayed and forgot to. I am working on communication though.
