Maybe not too much but I'd say you're asking for the wrong adjustment (assuming one is needed at all).

I'm not going to pretend to be a pro here but if all else has failed (taking advantage of available speed boosts, potions, stuns/silences of your own, etc.) and there really is absolutely no way to get away from the UB, then I'd say it's the UB that needs a fix.  I really don't think teleport scrolls should be a flawless "get out of jail (practically) free" card.

ahahaha.  Yeah you're asking way too much.  This would break so much.  Teleportion scrolls are perfect right now.

teleportation scrolls are fine as-is IMO.  speed items, snares, stuns, potions (quick ones) or help from a team member are some options when forced to run from a UB (he's tough on quite a few DGs early on).  exta HP from a chestplate wouldn't hurt either.

Hehe, did you actually read the responses? I see plenty of possibilities in there anyways. 

If you ask the question "am I asking to much?", people can actually give an answer you do not have to like..  

Which demigod did you with play anyways?

Indeed. Teleportation is fine.

Why is it that any post I read from you, you flame the community while claiming they all flame you? So far the majority seem to think the TP works fine. When offering you alternative strategies you accuse the whole community of hostility. I think I smell a bit of troll.

If you are not trolling then step back and realize that just because people do not agree with you doesn't mean that they are flaming you or being hostile. Maybe they just disagree with your opinion.

My opinion is in line with most of the posters here. I believe TP is ok. It can be annoying being on the other end of the equation and losing a kill as your intended victim is wisked from your grasp before you can deliver your killing blow. Just offering a perspective from the other side as food for thought.

is this topic a joke? if you were stun immune with portal scrolls people would use them, then abort the cast after people waste there nukes. imo the length of the cast is fine.

Calm down man. You are obviously quite frustrated which is a natural response to beating your head against a problem like this but I think you need to walk away for a moment and come back with a clear head.

Gabbelgak and wordtaint have already made a valid suggestion that you have overlooked because you were a bit worked up over things. In fact you yourself have even mentioned that pro players would advise you to run away. Running away does not necessarily mean loading up on teleportation scrolls.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that that you tried simply running away and found out that players tend to take advantage of UB's speed and swiftly overtake you. Items that grant temporary speed boosts are effective in counteracting this kind of speed advantage - enough to let you escape.

Furthermore running away is not just a simple matter of running in one direction - think about where you are running to. Retreating back towards towers is very effective against the UB because it doesnt have the staying power to absorb the damage. Another good idea would be to stick close to or retreat towards your teammates. Again the UB can not stand up to being focus fired on and will be forced to run away or die.

You can also plan ahead and stay close to your towers/teamates when you know a UB is around. You could even try working on some strategies to trap him, like drawing him onto some of Regulus' mines or a multi DG ambush.

Now, as for getting effective help from the forums.

It really helps not to be passive aggressive in your posts or to type in caps. Nor is it wise to belittle the entire forum. I'm patient enough (or maybe you just caught me on a good night) to recognise a lot of what you have written here comes from frustration - a lot of people will not have that patience for whatever reason and simply not bother to help you or worse.

In future if you feel this kind of frustration again - take 5 and come back to it later when you are thinking straight. This isn't just some useful for gaming its a life skill. Also if the widespread advice for a situation is to do 'x' don't discount the advice if you are not able to get it to work. Ask for help about what you are doing wrong and you may be surprised at just how many people will bend over backwards to help you if you approach them with the right attitude.

Edit: quite a few people posted between when I started writing and when I hit post - so don't feel left out if I didnt mention you  Edit Edit: Uh that excuse doesn't work for liq3's good suggestion... um... I just don't liq3 you! j/k

Well, nevermind then.

This is almost as bad as your other thread, you dismiss any single piece of advice you are given and act as if the whole world is against you - it's not. You complain about the community because you don't like the advice they offer, why did you ask for it then?

Other people manage to get away (bear in mind sometimes you just won't get away if an UB is determined to kill you!) and have given you advice about it, but you dismiss it without taking some time to think it over. The suggestion about items is valid - if you did some research you would see that there are more than the three listed above. For example the wand of speed trinket might be one helpful item, it costs only 1250 gold and on use increases speed by 25% of 8 seconds. 1250 gold can be had very early on if you think you are going to be pinned by an UB. There are other items as well if you spent some time to look. Alternatively you might need to pre-kite, and depending on what demigod you play with playing slightly less agressively might be in order if facing a fast opponent like UB. Stick aroung the grunt reinforcements if you are being picked off a lot. Part of the problem might be that you are fighting away from creeps and your vision range is quite small, as such the UB will be very close when he comes out of the fog and it's not surprising that he can kill you quickly as that's his job - killing other demigods. Also, running is often better than using teleport, if you run you can get back to towers and he is likely to stop pursuing unless he catches up with you very rapidly.

If you are bothered about the fact that you are bugged and cannot use favor items then I suggest you start your own custom games where they are disabled (I believe you can do this, apologies if I am wrong)

Also, if you think about your suggestions you would realise that they would not be very balanced, noone would ever die as they could never be prevented from teleporting away.

Anyways, I hope that's of some help - Boffinboy

Think of UB like snipe. At any given moment you could be hit by him / it and lose a certain range of health. So ask yourself if you can survive it, if not is the risk worth it? Or what can you change so you don't die from it? As a side note everyone has problems with staying away from UB. He has the speed of sedna with the passive slow of regulus. That's generally why he's so good at hit and run tactics. He's not very durable but much like a rook that gets speed items, if the player aims to counter his weakness you simply need to play better to win.

I actually tried to go 1 on 1 with UB using QoT, and I made him my b****. Bramble shield + mulch shambler are just enough to deal with UB. To further convince myself, I tried to go 1 on 1 with nightmare AI UB (has more health and damage than a human UB) and I still made him my b****. He interrupted me and vomitted on me like I was disgusting but wasn't able to finish me off. However, when we both got to level 20, he was getting close to finishing me. It doesn't matter though because that's what he's made to do although a level 3 spike wave + speed equips and he's a slow poke who can't finish me off. I used to run away upon spotting him, but after using bramble shield + mulch shambler I made him my b****. I almost feel invincible vs any demigod using QoT. The only problem is that I couldn't finish them off either. Therefore, as long as we aren't playing 1v1 slaughter mode, I'll use QoT. Otherwise, I'd go with UB.

My advice is that you spend your gold on speed equips when UB is around. Teleportation is useless once UB gets close so it's better to spend it somewhere else.

wand of speed +25% speed for like 10 seconds, the items <2000g.

and the whole telporting idea doesnt work too well when your a fragile character, if your getting raped as hard as you make out u'd die before u teleported, so just run, +15% swift anklet (favor) +10% boots of speed 1000g, wand of speed etc. all items that are cheap and effective.
