Notice how it's mostly a bunch of NA guys crying about the balance? Maybe you should watch some high level games or practice to improve. It's all about the skill of the people you're playing vs your own micro skill. The balance is fine and the heroes are considered to mostly balanced in Korea. There's only a handful of people out there the say anything about a hero being imbalanced and it was mostly Lurcellant, who eventually was nerfed. You should probably just stop playing if you hate the balance of the game.

If you work on your own skills and micro, you might be a much better player. Just be hyper aggressive with your leveling and if you can't take a harass from someone in your lane, switch with a teammate until you can handle that enemy better at later levels. Everything can be countered, period. It's all about timing and vision. If you're not near xel naga towers, you're asking to get ambushed.

On a side note, I'm forming a clan for CT soon if anyone wants to join, you message me to try out or to learn how to improve via Nameless.568

I'd really like to see less crying about this game and more people forming up strong clans for tournaments.

I've play this game probably at least a hundred times, and while I find most of the heroes pretty balanced, I just cannot deal with a semi-decent Genesic Hunter. In his rampage mode, his dps is so deadly while spamming his two other skills that any hero dies within 1-3 seconds. I've seen a few posts saying to simply run away or use skills that can bind/trap him, and that's good and all, but no actual player would simply run around spamming that mode all the time for people to see his glow through the fog. They would simply go around watch towers and looking at the mini map, and when a person is in charge distance, they'll activate rampage, charge and it's impossible to dodge or run as the interceptors keep doing damage as well as his skill that stuns, preventing any escape.

The problem as I see it is that the interceptors do way too much damage. When most, if not all heroes use a spell, there's a slight delay where they do not do their normal attack. However, to compare, as the Zealot is not only spamming pretty damaging skills, his interceptors are doing continual insane damage. No matter what hero I play, I just cannot do a 1 v 1 against him without getting slaughtered. I would think Ron may be decent against him by using the move that sets speed to 2.75, but that's only if he engages first so that he could be able to use that move.

Avoid him until Rampage mode drops and then destroy his now mediocre hero. The thing about pretty much all modes is that they only have like a 60% uptime and once they drop, the heroes really aren't as powerful. They're sacrificing some really great ultimates for a 30 second buff and once it's gone, they're incredibly vulnerable. You'll see people using Lurcellant or Genesic with modes all the time in pub games and you can usually trash them once it wears off. It's the guys who use the hook or particle explosion ultimates that you really have to watch out for. I'm sure you already know but you can tell where they are when they're in a mode so it's easy to avoid.

The worst thing you can have happen to you is they gain map control for a bit only for creeping. Most of the time they won't be silly enough to attack you into your own base at lower levels before hitting buildings. And if they're trying to kill your buildings, snipe them with some nukes. The more time you keep them active doing things against their purpose for popping the mode, the better.

Don't feel bad about not being able to kill someone in a mode like Rampage Mode. I rarely face someone 1v1 head on and try to win with brute force; especially when it's someone like Genesic. I'll abuse terrain like mad, slow him down, blink around, etc. Genesic is almost purely melee outside of his archons. With a blink hero, while his mode is on cooldown, you can easily crush him. Even if he charges up to you and closes the distance, you can always blink back from him and repeat your slow/nuke process and then begin blinking towards him as he start to run. You just gotta control the distance.

Most imba heroes:

1. Genesic (its impossible to outrun, easy to use)
2. Abel (sick damamge, sick range, teleport) extremely easy to play and hard to avoid
3. Clif walking dragon (extremely hard to kill, does massive damage) and again easy to play

there are probly others too. Either these require nerfing or the bad heroes require buffing. I would say those 3 are probly on the same level so they are not so imba against each other, but against weaker heroes its just bullshit.

The problem here is that the Genesic fires his 'minions' from a distance, those minions can walk cliffs, his movement speed increases by 30%, when combined with the still active charge probably only ZeDait could outrun him, etc. Lots of heroes can't run from that for 20 seconds. it would already be better if his minions couldn't cliffwalk, or preferably if charge is disabled in that mode, since he's already tripping on steroids, how would he pull off an extra charge anyway?

In my opinion, GeneSic is OP, at least in most games, because not every game has a pro that can outmicro him, but every game has noobs which can just activate the mode attack and sit back. this means there has to be an unbalanced amount of skill for an even game, which means it's OP.
