Mages in PvP

To be honest, while MG can be considered a "big deal," a few matches ago I found myself completely dispelled and I hadn't even realized it. I'd say a minute or so had gone by without noticing, all whilst ducking and weaving against opponents. When I did look up and notice, I was pleasantly surprised I hadn't died. Since it only moves 35% damage to MP it's not nearly as instant death as Magic Crashers would make you believe.

Teleporting back and forth in front and behind your opponent is an excellent way to evade their attacks. In my experience, it'll take them at least 2 of their own attacks to catch on that you are behind them, less of course if there is less lag.

Know your map, Ultimates take ages to cast, leaving you vulnerable to all sorts of bombardment. Often, there is somewhere you can sit to stay out of direct fire where you can essentially snipe masses of your opponents. For that reason, the volcano is always my map of choice, less horizontal snipe spots for Mechs and other projectile flingers, plenty of death-from-above-from-below vertical snipe spots.

thing about magic crash is that the guys that say that it destroys mages (like me) hit a crapton on their own, so dispelling it does kill the mage.

if you are against a thief and your MG runs off, then yea, not much trouble, but if a warrior dispels you, run for it, because he WILL smack you, hard.

hence why warriors say MG kills mages.
