When playing with a full minion DG

Short Rant

from Demigod Forums

I am far from pro. But if you are playing against a team with no area of effect and your teammate tells you he's going full minion, there are two basic things you need to do. Do not die. And cap and lock flags. The second includes protecting the portal and gold flags with locks if necessary. And if you can succeed in this, then the minion player can win the game in 17 minutes and 46 seconds. If you fail at either of these issues, then you can cause a loss.

Your minion player will not be buying citadel upgrades, he will be striving for forest band, gloves of fel dur and for seige demolishers. Once this is achieved, the game is basically over, so long as giants aren't storming your own citadel.

 

Rant over.

Another note; DON'T BITCH WHEN THE MINION PLAYER IS GOING MINION AND THEY LET YOU KNOW THEY ARE GOING MINION, BUT YOU EXPECT THEM TO JUMP HEAD FIRST INTO A WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY SUICIDAL SITUATION FOR THEM.

^^ Yes, this is the type of thing driving me nuts right now. You won't believe how many times people will say: "Oak! Move up! Oak, be more aggressive!" To which I reply, "I only have shield level 1 and I have less than 3000 hit points." And then I get called a noob.

 

Minion builds are very effective when even mildly supported.

I get that alot when I play minion qot. I'm like "Open your damn eyes! there are priest, siege, shamblers and effing berserkers hitting them to; I am not about to attack UB with 2500 (just an estimate seeing how it has been a while) hp .  You better take advantage of what you have and the shields I give.

No but what I love is when my opponents/teammates think I'm a noob because I don't jump in to help; then wonder how the hell their hpgot so low so fast, start to run away. Get to their portal and then die; I'm all the way on the other side of the map and they are like "How the hell did you kill me? You were no where near me!" "Or "Wtf, how is he even in that, I was the only person attaking!" I mean come on minions arn't only good for suiciding towers. All I say is "The demigods work in mysterious ways." or "Queen beats pawn fool!"

Here is a replay where my regulus teammate actually rages out and calls me noob as my I am spirit attacking the CITADEL!!! When he leaves, they lock our portals and giants ravage our citadel. We lose. I am welcoming critiques of my game as well.

Fun thing about this I lost a 1 on 1 yesterday and it was minion queen vs tower rook on cataract. All we were doing was racing to destroy each others towers.
