How would this problem disappear if we banned DG stacking? If three DGs are ganging up on one DG, they're going to be able to hit him rapidly with their powers in succession. They don't have to be the same DG for this to be true.

An Oak, UB and Reg could hit me each with pent, spit and snipe within one second of each other. How is that any better than three oaks hitting me with pent within one second of each other? (If this particular case is strictly better for you because of the numbers, okay, but hopefully you see the main point--that there's nothing in particular about DG stacking that uniquely allows a team to gang up on a single enemy DG.)

How would 5v5 work with only 8 DG?

Plus who would get stuck playing QoT every time?

Nothing wrong with QoT......  There are a plenty of good things about her!... hehe

bad idea. There would be a max of 8 choose 5 = 56 combination (if my math is right) of heroes per team on 5v5.  game would get boring FAST!

lol you kidding me?

you talking as if 5v5 was the STANDARD game while its like winning a lottery

anyway 56 different kind of team vs another 56 kind of team its a very good variety imo

56 combonations at the moment your not counting the 2 news one on the way are you

Limiting 1 per team is a good idea.  It's much easier to balance combinations of Demigods if you're not able to stack a single powerful ability x3 or x5.  It also makes games more interesting when you're fighting multiple opponents, rather than being demolished by triple oak or triple rook.

i dont like having duplicate heroes in  a 3v3 or 4v4  i just get bored    in 5v5   i accept that there might be 2 people  but 3 is over the top per side it is just boring

Exactly. Besides, AFAIK, if you get hit by three Penitences, the debuff will only stack from the first one, thereby decreasing the effectiveness. And even if they all do stack, I don't see how you couldn't counter this by simply using varied DG's to play off eachother since if you are all the same Demigod, you have a very limited total skill set.

Dont start the game. Or if the team pulled a quick change on you, quit as sson as map loads.

I think that would be a great option to have when hosting customs, but I don't have a general problem with duplicate heroes on the same team... I actually had a blast in a 3v3 regulus match. 

There should be only one of each DG allowed per team, and i think that any DG should be able to play on any side in pantheon. Who cares if it doesnt make sense for "good" DGs to play on the "bad" team its just more fun. There are only 8 DGs to choose from, and only 4 if im playing pantheon, which i havent done yet but w/e.

I typically avoid games were one side has multiple of the same demigod. Rather lame. I avoid those games after I played a 2v2 VS 2 spit-n-grasp UBs. Cheapest shit I've ever seen.

Had a 3v3 were the other team kept quickly switching to all-Regulus. Managed to cancel the ready button before the game started and left afterwards.

I think 1 instance of a DG per side sounds reasonable (meaning there could be 2 DGs of the same kind just across both sides).

The difference between getting a triple fireball over a snipe/fireball/penitence combo is that there is a higher chance that a DG on you side can counter the snipe, fireball or penitence. However, if you only have 1 DG that counters 1 out of the 3 in the other side, the other 2 are still out on the loose, wreaking havoc. While that can still happen even in a non-duplicate game, the probability is very unlikely.
