@Vault: a level 8 is not out of newb island normally; you were detected as a smurf if you're out of it at that point without a premade. Sorry you had a feeder, he was probably premade with much better people to even out his group's Elo.
@Lasereth: Fantastic news! I can't wait for TT as well :3.
@Vault: Tbh it's not that I don't like vent (with or without pubs), it's that it's often a bad idea based on what's going on IRL around me. However that's ameliorated itself heavily as of late, so I'm much more likely to vent now ^_^ (and have been doing so
)
