it's not unbalanced. at least not any more than using no doubles at all. your argumentation is correct. if using two times mines is op and if two spit are op too than 1xspit and 1x mines would be op too. so the whole "no doubles" rule has nothing to do with unbalance.

dobules can only be unbalanced if you use an already op dg and use him twice, thus doubling the already existing imbalance.

The double issue comes, imo, from the way damage is applied.

Snipe beceaus of his range, spit beceaus you can apply it, even stack it, and continue with you auto attack.

Some attacks are just to powerfull in the way there applied.

Where snipe would be the most powerfull early game.

Tbh, most abilities are scary when you double them.

So its more fun to have 1 of each class.

If you have two of one class, your basicly using them as one person doing double damage. And this for some classes is op.

It's just a matter of perception.

If you get double sniped from afar severel times in a match then it stands out in your mind.
And if you get gobbed upon by two beasts when your health is in the lower thousands, then you notice with alarm how rapidly your remaining life dwindles.
Likewise, getting swarmed by 20 spirits from twin Oaks makes more of an impression on you than any combination of skills.

I don't see any reason why using the same demigod several times on one team would be imbalanced. If anything, it weakens that team, since the strengths and weaknesses of the demigods of that team don't balance each other out that well.

Saying "no doubles" is just this brainless comment people come up with in game lobbies. I personally for the most part don't use a demigod somebody on my team is already using. But I do that because I usually pick a demigod that complements the demigod choices of the other team members.

I can see facing a doubles or triples or whatever team being difficult to coordinate against.  Focus fire the beast... uhhh which one?  In the mix of things I'd say the multiplicity factor has an advantage of confusion.

But I guess that swings both ways if you get your own demigod confused, heh.

nothing is wrong with doubles. people just bitch when the doubles can counter them, but if they can counter the doubles it's no problem at all.

Wait? Who said this game was balanced...? Im confused.

Tl;dr, quit bitching

Ps,

LoL is free zomg!

Whenever someone dies, they generally 'hate' the thing that killed them.  Be it penitence, pounce, or Snipe. If they see two opponents with that thing, they hate it more.  They rarely blame more than one thing at a time, so a variety of things that can kill you aren't so bad. Thus, doubles makes them the most sad, so they think it is unbalanced.  It is about as rational as anyone who cries about any game mechanic that they do not understand.

It's just because it's easy to work together with another person of the same class.  You each know what the other is going to do, so in a pub game you can coordinate, even silently.  If you plop two ooze beasts into a game and they just stick together, either they'll wreck people in melee all over the board or the other team will coordinate to overcome their brute force.  I'd say the average team won't have the coordination to overcome that, given 2-3 random players.

"Two generals annoying you with minions? Your aoe just got twice as effective."

Your AOE just got 'half' as effective.

Why does having more grunts to tear through make your AoE less effective? Generally speakin,g the more you hit with your AoE, the more 'damage' you're doing.

How about quadruple Regs?

I've already been told this is not a problem but I can imagine it being so....
