OP
I think it would be pretty neat if the invisible heroes like Mirana and Riki required like a gem or sentry ward item to be picked to be able to see/buy them.
Is it reasonable to say that you should try and achieve some balance between melee and ranged/magic units? Has anyone managed to consistently win without some meat shields up front? I can't seem to make nine-unit alliances work because they usually lack tanks.
For the longest time I was underestimating placement on the bored. But damn it feels good when in the final two and losing your ass off but then make a small placement change and squeak out the win.
Was playing against a guy going bloodbound/brawny and for some reason he was putting his Beastmaster front and center, so I just placed my unit with Scythe right in front of him and all of a sudden I was able to deal 17 damage to him and win the game.
Felt good.

I'm not really sure. I think that's find a majority of the time. When it gets down to the final 3 or 4 and you know what your facing it becomes a little more possible to position stuff. Spread stuff out if you're facing a lot of aoe damage, split tanks for assassins and stuff like that.
Positioning in my case was able to just work out because I was able to specifically take out his main unit right away by being able to poly him.

If you have a ⭐⭐⭐ Pudge or Axe with Blade Mail or a tide with helm then you can leave them mid /front/center
Typically I see the pros picking a side because that way you can have frontliners who are not exposed to side and back attacks but will still tend to move forward and you can generally see a more even distribution or predictable damage progression. It all depends if your tanks are disposable like Tide who is only going to use his ult once or you need them to last a long time like a Necro.
I'm still not sure which heroes have a tendency to advance faster vs stay still, but you can check the aoe of range heroes attack by clicking on them. If they can attack from their range then they will not break formation. It's confounded even more by blink and initiation speed. Some Assassins go instantly sometimes they are interrupted by other Assassins or blinkers. Knights tend to stay in formation. Of course I'm stuck with dumbass units that walk all around the board looking for engagements then turning around.
One of my suggestions is for the board to tilt slightly downwards so the top team going down will have a tendency to advance and the team fighting from the bottom would have miss chance uphill and cannot simply turtle.
One thing that tremendously improved my game was to get more familiar with the range of some units. Not all ranged units are equal, and putting a 3 range unit 3 squares away from the frontline means they will have to walk until they find someone to shoot at, wasting time and often putting themselves in danger.
On the other hand, a 3 range unit 1 square away from the frontline will be protected from the melee attackers by its meatshield, but could be exposed to unnecessary attacks by the enemy's range units. Ideally, a ranged unit with limited range should have one line of melee attackers available to shot at from the beginning of combat, and only move once they're down.
Then, it also depends at what distance the enemy's meatshields are, and whether they have a lot of ranged units or not. And if they have assassins, and if you have assassins.

Cool, means I still got a little while to get the last few items in the pass.

I've had a lot of luck with 9 elusives today, even without TB. They're also quite easy to assemble when everyone is focused on getting all the knights.
The only time I struggle is when I fight 2 Assassin players, but fortunately that's rare.

It still works on bloodseeker/slark to go berzerk for 4s with max attack speed and you still get the win damage against your opponent if you win. It's just doesn't count as an extra damage as if the hero is alive
This game was wild. I had 1 hp and the second place player had 50+. Had to widdle him down.
This is probably the funniest comp I had in a while. Three contracts and going full Shaman buff. So many chickens and my team were a bunch of giants. I didn't even break 100k damage, lol.

Yeah, especially if you're aiming for 3 stars on these elusives. Inventory always full.
got beaten just now by someone with 3 mages and a gyro. It was close though. He has 6hp left.

idk, lifesteal/regen/healing all seem to be the same
I just use warlocks all the time if I have any of those quests
Never tried it, but I imagine Ritsul nerfs MoM Slark and BS

I have the life steal mission, who does that? Necrophos? Or all warlocks?
I guess I'll have to take a break from assassins/elusives for a while...

I definitely feel like it has the most options and variance.
