I must agree with this. A comeback in Demigod is way too rare. I've only seen a comeback once and it was because the other team was able to farm our creeps on the Exile map until they caught up to us. Then again, that map is imbalanced anyways. This game needs to include ways of making comebacks easier, something like you get more gold for killing someone who is a higher lvl than you and getting less gold for killing someone lower than you.

as simple rule mentioned often before on this forum: dont DIE, if ur m8 does, try some games with arranged teams. in those matches there is no kill the first 15 minutes.

its very essential not to overextend yourself in the beginning of the game.

back ² topic: i did "comebacks" if u can call it like that. like other team got firstkill, and down a tower or too. than comeback and pwn them. in phantheons often u have a chance for a comeback when the enemy start to buy priests without cats in an advantage situation. but latly it happens more rarly :_)

2 cents

I have to disagree. The slippery slope in Demigod is no way as bad as most other RTS games.

Any other RTS in competitive play sees you basically on the losing end of the game even by the 1 min mark. In Supcom, even being out on waypointing your ACU at the start of the game would essentially equal loss.

I have had teams come back against me, I have made comebacks against teams. Sure when you have a team mate feeding, it is gameover. However, in even teams the game can go back and forth. I have had games where we have been 5 kills down, had a quick team talk, then pull it back by ganking together.

It is far from perfect and sometimes it is a slippery slope, but it is definately not a steep one IMO.

If a Rook or a QoT is involved, there isn't a true "comeback." The fact is, the Rook/QoT advantage early game makes it look like your team is winning, but unless you are seriously smashing them up, you aren't really getting an advantage, because once the enemy passes level 7, those two stop having any early game advantage. It's more that the enemies are getting (relatively) weaker than good play turning around a game.

If one team is playing worse, which allows the other team to get an advantage and then they continue to play worse, a comeback is going to be extremely unlikely. 

Comebacks happen when one team falls behind but instead of continuing to play worse they change what they're doing, step up their game and then proceed to outplay their opponent.

Disadvantaged teams need to think what got them in the bad situation in the first place and then what they can do to gain an advantage.  Too many people give up so easily just because things aren't going well, people should play on through bad situations, after all if people never play through them, how do people expect to know how to turn them around.  A game is rarely decided after a few kills but it is decided if one player quits prematurely.  And if you do lose, think about why you lost and what you could have done better, that is how to improve.

Had a close game last night. Did manage a comeback though.

It happens from time to time. I gotta agree with Sinzer.. no such thing as a comeback in Starcraft.

i think comebacks are only uncommon because closely matched teams (skill wise) are also very uncommon. 

every comeback game i've ever played in (and its a small number), on either side of the turnaround, the reason it happened was due to the team beginning to work well together and make highly coordinated strategic decisions. 

lopsided matches are bound to happen if one team is more coordinated than the other. both teams have to be good and then factors like communication, group strategy, and long-term planning can generate late game turnarounds. 

Comebacks are rare, but still possible, but near impossible if a teammate ragequits. I've had a good share of them, but all of them on Cataract, where the enemy is too busy owning and being cocky that they don't notice that their portals are perma-locked. They're quite satisfying games. While in theory comebacks are possible in other maps, I haven't had any.

I've had a good few back-and-forths but I have yet to see an actual comeback. Kind of gives me whiplash when I go from being able to coast to victory one match then doggedly scraping to a win the next and then back to easy victory. IMO there's a very sharp jump from easy to hard based on how evenly matched your team is, it should be harder to win in a broader range of matchups.

My favourite comeback was when our UB managed to sneak out from our sieged citadel and cap a flag close to enemy base.

We (two rooks) immediately teleported in and went for enemy citadel. We took it down before anyone had time to react, leaving our citadel with a few 1000 hp left.

Got alot of "bad game" comments when that match ended

When down 2 levels on your opponent it is a sure sign that the opposition is plain better than you are. Against a better player a comeback would be very rare indeed, because not only do you need to catch up, but you also must overtake these better players. All in all the better players should win in most of the cases, making comebacks very rare indeed. That sounds like a completely natural thing to me.

@TrubEEE: I am sure the other team did not notice the 'our defenses are under attack' and 'our citadel is under attack' notices that get repeated over and over and over again... And that you managed to do more damage to the enemy citadel than the entire opposition backed by their reinforcements could do to your citadel. It makes perfect sense that you could indeed accomplish this feat and therefore I am sure your vaillant efforts won your team the game. You are as brilliant as you are awesome.
