I couldn't agree more! People not familiar with asynchronous games, really should start some matches with a friend first to get accommodated. And it's easier to learn to wait for other people if you know them Wink

i think if you are new to the game. the best way to start would be to read "help"
(understand the rules, concept and unit capabilities (movement, attack, range, ability)).
then watch replays, on all maps if possible. (to get a grasp of the basic unit formations (how to start in maps))
reread "help"
try out pass and play.
and when you get a grasp of wit usage. (like, what you can do with 5 wits)
youre ready for league matches.

Is the ranking system streak based?

Please don't derail this thread from its intended topic. There are numerous other threads where the ins and outs of the points and ranking system are actively being discussed.

Do your thing outside what you know of the enemy's vision or fog-of-war. Think ambush!

Sweet I was already doing that

I've had games where I needed to create a heavy to survive and then I went on to win. It was a game with just 1 spawn space and my opponent had 2 soldiers right next to my spawn space and those were the only units on the board. If I had created anything else he would have won by killing it and covering my spawn space. I had to create a heavy to kill one of his soldiers and survive the next move.

So I reckon that it's rarely the best option to create a heavy, but sometimes it is essential!
