Considering that 90% of the time someone fails to establish a connection, 9% of the time playing as dark I end up playing by myself verus multiple opponents and only 1% of the time do I get a balanced game, I'm not surprised that this pantheon is skewed.

Given the low success rate of Pantheon on Skirmish games, I've broken down and started playing custom games.

simple answer, pantheon mode f'd up, and stats are now based on random number generators. ST/GPG anounced that they are going to null all previous pantheon victories once the get things sorted out, so dont worry about it.

The updated they did around midnight seems to be working. I'm 2 for 2 in terms of successful games started in Pantheon since update.

I'm a dark player, but I've lost interest in pantheon until stats are fixed

Dark has worse AI.  *rimshot*

I just stopped playing Patheon since most of the players tended to be AI (it's fixed now but there's still no way to stop rage quitters) and the highest ranking person right now stat pads, which is funny because you wonder what he hopes to gain from it all.

I don't know. If I'm honest, the only reason I get any enjoyment out of Pantheon is to see how high of a rank I can get. The randomness of maps and game modes is highly unenjoyable to me in general (2v2 or 3v3's on 5v5 maps, making for very long games).

If I'm just gonna goof off and have fun or play with randoms, I join customs.

Pantheon just has too many issues for me at the moment.

*edit to add

I have not played in the most recent Pantheon, aside from one game to test out the new changes. So my above opinion, is simply that, and is not based on any up to the minute changes.

I played a 3vs3 game last week and won. Dark gained alomst 300 points while the light side gained only 30. I checked my stats a couple days later and noticed it recorded almost the exact opposite. It said the game lasted 30 minutes. The light side got 300 points and the dark side lost with 0 points.

I am getting tired of pantheon because of the stats and the victory conditions. Some nights I play the same victory conditions or maps 3-4 games in a row. 

Well not realizing I'd be locked into a side (seriously with no instruction manual on the digitial download it was an easy mistake to make) I picked light and now that I'm decent with torch bearer (who's also my faovrite atm) I can't switch back and help out.

That isn't mentioned in the instruction manual to my knowledge. What do you mean 'locked into a side' ?

/Has only played a couple Pantheon games

//Never tried to change characters between said games

They don't seriously expect people to play a whole season without being able to use half of the game's characters, do they?

Not at home, or I would check for myself. But this seems highly dubious.

... Does anybody think that this feature makes any sense whatsoever?

Yes, it makes perfect sense. The point is you are suppose to role play (hence this is a action stragegy with role playing elements) a demigod fighting for a certain alignment. It would make no sense to switch between sides in a match.

"O noes! the forces of dark are losing, I better stop playing my forces of light character to help them? and prolong the tournament?" Why not just wait for the next tournament to begin and choose an new alignment?

I personally see no issue with being locked into a side for the duration of the tournament. A tournament only lasts about a week usually anyways. So during the duration of the tournament you can only choose between 4 characters instead of 8, not a huge deal IMO.

It actually adds a interesting flow to the games knowing you can only be paired up with your own alignment and only paired up against the other alignment.
