If you don't play smart 4 regs can focus fire snipes and kill you (again shield for the win).  But if you play closer to your end of the map, if one person is engaging the regs  1 or 2 of them will have to focus on protecting the reg when they should be sniping the other one.

Reg is more a harrassing character then anything else...

I agree with Muffinsoda. For 4 Regs to snipe in Unisince your team really has to be coordinated (it is do-able but very unlikely-come on guys, proof me wrong )

The Regs would seriously have to know there stuff and lets face it, they arent exactly the best tanks are they. As a variation I would something play REG and I must admit the well timed finish snipe (especial when the enemy is bust charging his teleport up and I take him out as he spawns at the crystal)is awesome and well worth taunting your lan buddies .

Either way, doubles isnt a problem. Like I said before, if everyone is Lord erebus then you know more or less know what you expect from him and counter it. Mana is his biggest problem so If you take some mana stealing item then some of his most baddest toys are taken from him. 

The secret is just know your opponent and COUNTER.

Long live the OAK

I don't know if anyone else thought about this, but if you are getting hit by two snipes or two spits and dying, you are being attacked two enemies different enemies that happen to be the same character. You are likely to die if they weren't the same character anyway and you couldn't get away. It's not a problem with double classes being unbalanced, it's just that 2v1 never really going to end well and the fact that the enemy is using two of their players to take out one means your other allies have 2 less enemies to deal with.

I have played me and 2 friends (3v3) premade with 3 regs. I have to say it is broken at level 1, and only applifies into the late game. Essentially your opponents cannot lose any hp in there lane for fear of being triple sniped, which is 900 - 1500 damage every 15 seconds. When your in a room with each other it's very easy to do.

If 1 opponent doesn't stack health out of the gate (like an erubus doing minion build, or sedna / oak taking monks) you can literally ping them with a few auto attacks then tripple snipe for the kill. Lets not also forget the possibility of all 3 reguli taking heavens wrath. Thats a 2250 damage spike on command to any 1 target.

People say to counter, some things are way to cheese to counter, especially on certain maps. 3 Regulus on cataract can be a very difficulty battle. If you make a single mistake and they all get an assist on you, the game degrades really fast. Even regulus can stack HP, and when there whole team is getting 500 - 1000 gold every 30 or so seconds it will be GG.

------------

I will write that even with 3 regulus on the field, there are viable ways to stop the game from being lost from the gates. Choosing characters with inherrently high stats, and then getting health items with a potion and a teleport can really turn the tides in your favor. Regulus has no interupt so teleports are his bane. Health pots for 275 can save you a 30 second death screen and prevent your enemies from gaining a 2k gold advantage. Getting +400 hp from the gates tends to have a better effect as you don't auto loose getting onto the field. BoTF is actually a good favor item for this purpose.

In the end though, only 1 teammate has to go a general with monks to ruin the game. In all other circumstances monks are the bread and butter of this game, but with 3 regulus your 1800 hp pool is going to be torn to shreads in under 3 seconds, and literally an assault from the crystal for an auto kill will have each regulus going onto the field with a second level and some much better gear than the opposition.

Doooood...I am soooooo l33333t that I should be able to take on 2 demigods without blinking...when I can't its obviously IMBA!

/sarcasm off

ok if you get 2 spits in same time.... it gets really fxxked up!!

Until you use your scroll of restoration and remove both of them taking only 300 damage

why is it so much '3reg imba' simply get some speed items, meaning they cant hunt you down with auto attack... stack some health, you can really easily get 4k health early on, this should be simple to raise to 6k when they hit 1k snipe...

then just take flags, farm reinfocements...whenever you see a vournable lone reg chase it away, remember taht you should have speed in beginning as that allows you to retreat... (well in the beginning you shouldnt fight them as they can snipe you for allot of damage)...

take QoT/Sedna/Oak/UB(with slowdown, and sameel's cloak (to limit slowdown from mines lategame))

and you should be able to stay alive and thus win.

Ironrock, is that more a doubles issue or a "UB is good against Rook" issue? 

Could be fixed with a 5-10 sec snipe immunity after a snipe.
