Enjoy Summoner before it gets nerfed...

[Buff_Archer]

No it shouldn't be an instant win, but he ganked you, you had a disadvantage you were heavy'd and fighting a melee in close range. He should have killed you. But not only did you walk away with health to spare you also had cooldowns/buffs to spare. If things were even his opening burst with you not being healed would have killed you, even as a tank I've seen that summoners are a bit OP'd but I mean. This isn't the first time summoner has needed to be nerfed.

Perhaps the reason they didn't is because I had the benefit of more experience and skill on my side... I don't know anything about the player but odds are they haven't completed over 600 matches as I have. If I wasn't an experienced player, he probably would have gotten the KO in first, but to say a Ninja should basically get an Instant Win button in a 1 v 1 against even a more experienced ranged player would make a Ninja just as OP in that regard as what some are saying Summoner is now. And it's still not easy against a melee player in close quarters as a Summoner, but I think I deserve a fair chance to defend myself from melee players who wait somewhere to grab me solo, and considering the battle's still in their favor with all the stuns they can do, only casters who are on top of their game have a chance to win that fight but without the tools in my kit to give me a fair chance, why even play. Most Summoners probably would have lost that 1v1 fight- and based on our level 50 skills I probably would have- but for an experienced player to be able to hold their own in a fight where the parameters aren't in their favor certainly doesn't mean their class is OP.

Edit-What was this Ninja doing to support their team by hiding somewhere nowhere near any nodes, so they could try and kill one person in transit? Probably trying to work on their 1000 kills achievement at the expense of their team's viability in defending/capturing/taking nodes- real pro. I did them a favor by returning them to their home base.
