Hello!

I've been playing the game for quite a long time by now and here is what I found to be a little frustrating:

If you win a fight with some units survived, next round, there is another wave joining these survived units. So your army start to build up every round and by the time it approaches the portal, there are a lot of units already. When this crowd goes through the portal - you get just tremendous gold injection, while your enemy gets nothing. He still has some chance to comeback though, but if you got some additional gold it is easy to dominate in the following rounds and make you way through the portal one more time.
At this point, game is just over for your opponent. You start to snowball uncontrollably and he pretty much has no ways and tools to stop you. Even firmly defence is not gonna help at this stage (and it could not help before due to 5000 army cost limitation to use it).

Because of the mentioned mechanics, 9 games out of 10 are either finished in 15 minutes or just played as 1 surviving player (who leaks every few rounds) and 1 pushing player in each team.

Why is this happening? Because of the absurd portal-passing rewards. You should not really get rewards just because you reached some particular point on the map. Instead, you should be rewarded by outplaying an enemy and killing his units. If your enemy lets your army to pass through the portal, it essentially means that he did not kill many units and did not get the reward for killing them and this puts him in a disadvantage already.

So, here are my suggestions in regards to balance fixing:

1. Simply increase reward for unit killing and remove reward from passing the portal.


2. Let a player to buy additional arrows for crystalls (cr) with cost increased by algebraic progression (1st add.arrows = 100cr; 2nd add.arrows = 200cr; 3rd add.arrows = 300cr; etc) with cooldown on next arrows increased by 3 minutes each (free arrows may be used at any time; next arrows may be used in 3min after player used free arrows; next arrows in 6 minutes after player used previous; etc); This will leave some comeback opportunities for a losing player.

3. Share units between teammates for additional cost (gold/cr). example: my teammate has Wraith King in his roll and i need it desperatly, so i can ask him to build one at my base for additional cost like 375 standart gold + 20% in cr = (375gold + 75cr) or something like that. This is for promoting more in-depth team work.

4. Create some new (hired for crystalls) units with great AoE damage (something like Lina or Queen of Pain) or generally buff summoned units, since now thay are very close to being absolutely useless.

5. Add a new tier of late-game units, because now late games look like an army of gyrocopters trying to out-dps another army of gyrocopters.

6. And some minor balance fixes:
- Jakiro
old cost = 560 gold
new cost = 360 gold
This is because currently jakiro is surpassed by wyvern, which is just better and cheaper.

- Lifestealer
old food cost for lvl 3 Lifestealer = 1
new food cost for lvl 3 Lifestealer = 2
They are just too cost-food-efficient right now.
