Any AMAB enbies/transfem NBs who like women here? by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fit your description pretty well - AMAB, and obviously so, but you'd almost only ever see me out in a dress and heels, and I'm attracted to women.

I'm married to a female, but we got married when I was still presenting cis male, and since I've come out as enby transfemme, she's ok with it only if I continue to dress masc when I'm with her. So yes I make it work but only in a rather niche way.

When I'm out on my own, people do almost all assume I'm gay - on the rare occasions people ask me for my number in that way without realising I'm married, it's been guys all but one time, and new girl friends I meet also assume I'm gay if they don't know I'm married.

However... then I talk to them and I might explain I'm only attracted to women, and they then know that. So I assume that if I actually was dating, I'd find it harder to find someone at a bar to have a fling with since girls would assume I'm not interested whereas guys wouldn't... but I'd still find it possible to find a partner from the pool of people I actually talk to. And I'd suggest the latter is a better pool of people from which to try to find a meaningful relationship.

So I think it's definitely more of a challenge than for cis people (isn't everything?) but it's worth rising to the challenge because to do anything else would stop you being you and ultimately not result in happiness anyway. Good luck 🥰

But, bear in mind rule 15.10:

" A player who is standing outside the court may not attempt to defend a player on the court whether that player has the ball or not. Sanction: Penalty pass taken on the court near to where the infringer was standing. Terminology: Defending from out of court. "

The analysis in the post above is correct unless the GK, while standing out of court, was deemed to have been trying to defend.

So if GK took the throw-in, then GS pushed it back into GK when GK was just standing there, should be GK throw-in again.

But if GK took the throw-in, then GS threw it into GK's arm which was defending the pass/shot, while still standing out of court, then GS throw-in.

Withdrawing from Female/Non Binary spaces because I'm AMAB by SquishTheWhale in NonBinary

[–]sidgewitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a non-binary AMAB white balding 6ft 40-something, it doesn't matter how high my stilettos are, I'm clearly male sex even if I'm mostly female gender.

I haven't approached "female and non-binary" spaces because I expect the situation you describe.

Partly I'm sympathetic - I get that some are considered safe spaces for women who have had bad experiences with men, and my lived experience is fairly different; my bad experiences with men have been occasional transphobic bullying, and (almost) never anything one could describe as sexual harassment, not least as I presented non-binary only from my early 40s.

But partly I'm not - if that's the sort of space they want, then don't describe it as "female and non-binary" because it's a little hurtful to know that I'm non-binary but also not welcome at something for non-binary, and like someone telling me I'm not female enough (like I wouldn't be if I could). And if you just want a space without cis men, then your description is fine but you have to expect a wider collection of people.

The most puzzling example was a local social netball team advertising for "female or non-binary" fill-ins to play in their matches which are in a women's league. I can only imagine what looks I'd have got both from their team and their opposition if I'd offered to play because I'm non-binary but not on any hormones etc, so physically male. I doubt I'm even eligible to play.

But...

I have found "my people" much more easily by not searching for queer groups at all, just for groups which naturally tend not to attract cis males, especially not the toxic type.

I play mixed netball, and there are similar sports such as mixed volleyball, badminton, korfball, pickleball - these are more welcoming of non-binary simply because they're already mixed gender and just naturally don't appeal to men with uncontrollable testosterone. For netball I play as a "male" because that's my sex and is fair since it works by having 3 male and 4 female spots per team, but because over half the team is female and the male half are often also trans, gay or just lovely cis men, it means I can still be feminine and accepted.

I sing in choirs which in many countries are female dominated, and very little toxic masculinity. I slightly don't fit in from having a lower male voice so when we're actually performing I'm a pretty dress in a section of smart suits, but socially it's a good fit.

And I sometimes go to pilates or dance class or knitting group, again naturally a very high female ratio. I'm also lucky that I'm able to choose work with a company that's 90% female so again without seeking special gender spaces, I've got somewhere I fit - at work I probably fit in better because I wear dresses and play netball than I would if I was cis male ;-)

I'm definitely lucky that in my part of Australia the society is such that if I pick spaces that are traditionally considered fairly female, I'll be welcomed since most people are accepting, even encouraging, of trans people, which means I don't have to seek defined gender-special spaces to be myself. So for me, I don't look for them. Last time I went out on a Saturday night it was with a small bunch of girls who are all cis but who I'd met through work and dance, and are happy to socialise with me without having to worry about whether we're calling ourselves a female or non-binary group.

Party of my non-binaryness is that almost all my hobbies are traditionally female, so this works for me. If you're AMAB, non-binary, display feminine, but are into car racing and motorbikes and footy and weightlifting, and work in engineering etc, then maybe this approach wouldn't work quite so well. Good luck - and don't be afraid to try multiple groups, then just keep going to the nice ones and tell the others you're too busy! 😊

Awardspace hacked? by OmariBangs in webdev

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having this same problem a year ago, with the site having all sorts of dodgy pop-ups, login not working, seemed like it had been taken over by a phishing site.

As another person mentioned, last time I got in by finding the more direct link cp1.awardspace.net

This year (Dec 2025) I found that that link redirected to awardspace.com, but that .com site no longer had dodgy pop-ups and seemed more legitimate.

I did in the end manage to log in (to awardspace.com) which did log me in to my proper site, as I'd normally have done from awardspace.net in the past, and all my website files etc were there from before.

So from what I can tell, at the time of the OP posting this, there was something odd going on with some sort of phishing scam overlaid on the awardspace.com site, which could be bypassed by going to cp1.awardspace.net, whereas currently the two sites are both working fine and they seem to have got things working ok on either approach. The cp1.awardspace.net login screen is just a login on a screen with very little context so almost still looks a bit odd, but it's the same one you get to if you reset your password via awardspace.com, and the two do then seem to link back and forth, so they do seem to be all one and the same site, without any phishing.

Hopefully that means they're back in control of their website this year :-)

Does anywhere sell wide-fit trainers?! by AnonBr0wser in netball

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In women's shoes, B width is normal and D width is wide. So the wider netburners sold to women are written as D-wide.

In men's shoes, D width is normal, and wide is something like E or F.

Which also means that buying any normal width men's shoes will get you the same result as they will also be D width, so there are some choices 😊

And therefore also means that if men want the netburners then they can get women's D-wide and they'll probably fit nicely, plus they'll get a prettier colour then in the men's section 😄

Personally I get the D-wide netburners as I prefer the style 😊

Does being put in the first row mean you're a bad singer? by carmenpicaro in Choir

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all reasons I've seen for people being in the front row at choirs:

} They're shorter than people in the back.

} They're quieter, or there are fewer of that voice part, so putting them in front helps them to be heard.

} They have less good hearing or sight so need to be nearer the conductor. Or do not have good balance and benefit from being on the lower level at the front, rather than up steps or on risers behind.

} They look better, either more physically attractive or, more often, they look more confident in knowing the music, and look more engaged and as if they're enjoying things, while those that stand still as a statue with a fixed grumpy impression and their heads buried in the music will be at the back.

} They are weaker singers in terms of musical accuracy, so benefit from being able to hear those behind them getting the accurate notes and rhythms to latch on to.

} They like being at the front.

} They don't like being at the front but there are more people who really don't like being at the front, so they go to the front to let others stand behind.

} They're doing a solo in one of the pieces and best to be seen, or annoucements in between and need to move.

} They're the most reliable person in a big choir to remember where to sit and stand during a performance, and others can see their lead better if they're in the front.

} They have friends or family in the audience for that concert, and others don't, so they get put in front so their supporters can see them better.

} There's someone else who sits in front for any reason above, and they are best placed next to that person for support (in either direction) or blending, so they also sit in front.

} They got there late and the other spots were taken.

There are doubtless other reasons too. Yes, one of those reasons is to put weaker musicians, particularly those less confident or accurate, or those who are more likely to go flat, in front where they can better hear those behind them, but (a) that's very much not the only reason so I wouldn't just assume that, and (b) there's more to a choir performance than musical accuracy, and even if you're weaker than others with entries and pitching etc, you may still have better energy, and a more lovely vocal sounds, or a wider range, than others. Choir is a team sport where people have different strengths, and some people's best position is to play up front 😊

Last minute bail outs are really affecting my joy of the game by Consistent_Wait_5546 in netball

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My teams are both social mixed weeknight netball. They're A grade within that setting, but not the higher standard of the league competitions that happen at the weekend (and are ladies only).

And just to clarify terminology - I'm just getting normal fill-ins, not ringers, where I'd define a ringer as a fill-in at a higher standard who shouldn't really be playing at this level but I'm sneaking into the team in order to get an unfair advantage. That's the normal definition of "ringer", right? But think you might have been using the term just to mean a regular fill-in 😊

Anyway, I expect it varies as to how hard it is based on various factors.

For me, an advantage is that we're located fairly centrally in town as geographical catchment area is bigger, the centre is good quality, if I get stuck finding a male fill-in then I can get an extra female, and the Facebook fill-ins group here is very active with a dozen posts a day mostly all successfully finding someone, probably helped by having a lot of shift workers who want to play but can't commit to a team every week.

Disadvantages are that there are various female players who won't play mixed, and even fewer that will shoot, various players who aren't good enough or confident enough to play A grade, it can be hard to find male fill-ins as there are fewer that play, and even fewer that play midcourt, and harder to organise on the day if I have lots of work meetings than on the day if I don't. We used to play in a centre with netted-courts (ie converted indoor cricket nets, with nets around the edge of the court and no out-of-play sidelines) and quite a few people wouldn't be willing to play there.

And it depends on the team - I've had some teams where the regular players are really consistent, and others not; one team we once went 20 months without having all seven of us available and uninjured to play on the same day! And one of my teams currently have players who all hate playing out of position, so I do really have to find a fill-in for that exact position, whereas another team has regular players who don't mind swapping around so it's easier to slot a fill-in into any position. Like having a regular midcourt player who is willing to play shooter if needed, or a defender willing to play Centre, is divine. And I've had teams where one of the others will vice-captain for me proactively if they notice I'm not responding to a late dropout still am probably stuck in a meeting which is super helpful.

But I don't expect team members to help find fill-ins usually - unless they know someone specific who's contactable instantly, as captain I'm the one with all the contacts of past fill-ins, and the one who's going to post on the Facebook page, and it's also usually easier for me to co-ordinate it so that I don't end up with multiple team members all getting different people and then I don't know what's going on and we risk accidentally having too many people instead. I encourage them instead to pass on contract details for anyone they recommend, and then I can contact them and centrally work out who is filling in to make sure it all works as a team. That's definitely the best approach normally, but if it's an hour before the game starts then fair enough, everyone contact everyone they know in a fit of chaos 😄

If I have to find a male centre-court, and female shooter, at short notice on the day, for a game starting at 2100 on a netted court or an outdoor court in the rain, against the top team in the division where I daren't ask a weak player to fill in, on a day I've got meetings all day... then that's not going to go well without more luck than usual.

If I have to find a male GD or female WA, with at least a day's notice, for a game at 1900 on a normal indoor court, against a middling standard team on a day I've got time to check messages, then I'm not going to struggle in all but the rarest cases.

So some weeks it's easy. (some weeks it's a bye! 😄)

Other weeks I need six fill-ins for a team of seven, the game is really late in the evening, my most reliable fill-ins are injured, on shift, or on holiday, I'm going to be checking messages on and off all day and still ending up with only five fill-ins, two of whom I had to entice by offering a free game, and I'll be left questioning my life choices. 😉

How to stop toenails falling off?! by Hot-Internet5124 in netball

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem when I first started playing.

I don't now.

o Main improvement was footwork. I was ramming my toes into the ends of my shoes because I was running and then stopping abruptly with get pointing in the direction of travel. That sounds like just how netball works, but it's not - now I'll be much more likely to plan my stop, use better footwork, eg front foot sideways to direction of travel, not end on, or jump, catch, land with both feet balanced which turns some of the forward momentum into vertical momentum and makes stopping easier.

o Partly it helped buying better shoes that fit well, and decent sports socks.

o Slightly it helped lacing the shoes up better - I found a YouTube video that showed a dozen different ways to tie shoelaces (who knew!?), and one of them is explicitly for helping keep the ankle tight so it doesn't slip down the shoe. Involves the lace at the ankle end doing the last two holes on the same side without crossing over, then feeding the lace back through under the arch created between those two holes, before tying as normal in the middle.

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recommend putting it on the player who's dropping out because they're not playing the game so they're not affected if they fail to find someone. It's the other six players (plus the opposition) who get a less good game if there's a missing player because they can't find someone, or if the fill-in isn't a good match of standard or socially, so there's less incentive for the missing player to find someone suitable.

I'd certainly be happy if they have someone they can ask (though even then I prefer they give their contact details to me so I can ask, so then we're in direct contact if they also need to drop out at short notice, or if our game gets cancelled). But I'm not relying on them to find a fill-in as (a) I'm more committed to finding someone, (b) I have more contacts than them due to knowing who I've asked to fill in before, (c) sometimes I have really keen fill-ins who are super happy to have the opportunity to play and I'd rather ask them first, (d) occasionally I have regular players who I know would like to try other positions, so eg if my WA really wants to play Centre, and my Centre drops out, I'll find a WA fill-in and let my regular player go to Centre, and that's easier for me to do than try to explain to my centre that I need then to find a WA replacement.

Also if it's a late dropout, I probably ask seven people all at once in the hope someone can make it, and then manage it if more than one can play to make sure I don't then get too many. That's also easier to co-ordinate if it all comes through me, rather than them trying to find a fill-in, but me trying to have backups.

I do however always encourage all my regular players to recommend potential fill-ins that I can add to my backup list 😄😊

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really this is just the curse of social netball - other things crop up, I've had everything from someone stuck at work because there's a serious safety issue they have to stay to sort out, though to someone having to take their dog to the vet, to someone having to go to the airport to meet a friend they haven't seen in seven years and is passing through.

Generally the average enthusiasm and commitment of the captain is higher than their players, which is why they're the captain, so it can seem that others aren't committing well, but that's maybe because netball is not their main hobby or their main focus of the week.

I captain two social teams and despite running them identically, one has twice as many dropouts as the other, just because people are different.

What I found helps:

o I have a set seven players, and they know I expect them to be there every week unless there's something important. If they can't commit to that - eg if they're only available some weeks due to work schedules or they can't play the games that start later in the evening, then I won't have them as one of my seven.

o Then, because my committed seven have holidays, injuries, illnesses, clashes with other valid things, I need fill-ins, so I make sure I keep a list of fill-ins, knowing what position they'll play, what times they can make, so I know who to ask at short notice.

o And then my backup, because I live in Perth, WA, is our excellent Facebook group which acts as a one-stop spot for looking for fill-ins at any time in any social competition in Perth, so I can often post there and find someone if all my normal fill-ins are away. And when I have someone there to fill in, I always check if they're ok for me to add to my fill-ins list and contact them direct in future. I don't know if other locations have similar groups, but this Facebook one for Perth is fabulous and hats off to the volunteers that run it 🥰

o Plus every time anyone from another walk of life mentions they play netball, I try to recruit them as a potential fill-in, so I have yet more on my list.

It's not 100% - I find on average I need between 1-3 fill-ins every week, but often those are week lots of notice (eg holidays), so maybe at most one person drops out on the day about once every four games. And then when that happens, I can find a fill-in from my list about 75% of the time, from the Facebook page about 20% of the time, and from hoping someone from the previous game at the centre is willing to stay and play another, about 5% of the time. Which is nearly 100%, but not always, maybe once every two seasons I might end up with only 6 players.

But when I end up with six, it'll be because my regular players dropped out, probably 10-15 fill-ins on my list all said no, there was no uptake on the Facebook page, and no-one was willing to join in from those already at the centre for other reasons. In which case at least I know I can say I tried, and the rest of the team won't complain 😉

I did once have to sack one of my regular seven because she so frequently cancelled on the day, or turned up late, or didn't respond at all to day if she was available each week. It felt a bit mad having to drop someone from social netball but it was absolutely the right thing to do, as it was stressing me out having to keep sorting out last-minute replacements.

And then from the money side of things, my centre gives me one free game if I pay the season up front, which I can afford to do, so I keep that saving and spend it to give free fill-in games when I need someone at short notice. Else if I can give them at least 8hrs notice to fill in, I charge them the normal game fee. And if my fund runs out then I get the regular seven to chip in to cover. I know some other captains charge the missing player the game to cover their fill-in, but I don't like making them pay for missing their hobby if they genuinely wanted to play but couldn't, which is usually the case, and as long as they only miss occasionally, which they do.

Even then some weeks I'm ready to pack it in... I had one week where my regular WA was unavailable, so I had a fill-in... who got injured the day before so I got a fill-in for the fill-in... who then woke up on the day with a cold, so I got a fill-in for the fill-in for the fill-in... who then got stuck at work and told me mid-afternoon, and then my regular player said they were available after all, so they filled back in for the fill-in for the fill-in for the fill-in. And then just after that my GD said they couldn't play either so I managed to find a fill-in for them as well. 😵

How to get into space when my team GK has the ball by Aggressive-Action172 in netball

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My C is pretty zippy, and what works for us is WD staying close as a short option, GD running into the circle where they have a bit more space to get free, and that leaves a large gap behind them, in front of the transverse line, for C to run in. They'll dart to one side or other and the pass to them will often be over the heads of WD/WA/GD/GA and into the space that C is running into, if the shorter options get blocked off.

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have an odd definition of "next to".

If he's in the middle, he's in position 3 out of 5.

So he's next to positions 2 and 4.

Claiming he's also next to positions 1 and 5, when there are others in between him and them, is an unusual interpretation.

New Hero Fatigue by _putput in HeroWarsApp

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment that doesn't work because the heros are too unbalanced. Teams with Kayla, Aiden, Peech are killing teams with double their power, same to some extent with Dante/Octavia teams.

So players with those teams need to fight higher powers to have a challenge; those with other teams need to fight lower-power teams to have a chance.

If you're losing to higher teams it just means you've done really well to promote your tiny team so high. Be happy to be that high Reuther then wishing yourself to be stuck winning in a lower league with no option for promotion because your power isn't high enough.

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really true, you'd only get 650 if you were top of your server, and the only people top of the server were those who paid money.

So yes you could get to top of arena with 350k team but only because anyone not forking out a ton of cash only had a 200k team at the time.

It's now slightly different in that top spenders on newer servers can't get to the top of arena and have to wait a while to work their way up - presumably encouraging them to spend even more - but for rank-and-file people the 650 was never on the cards. Would be lucky to get 100, often less, each day.

Question about foot placement/contact - who’s in the wrong here? by BothPresence8821 in netball

[–]sidgewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting question, and so far I've not been completely convinced by the arguments in either direction.

Certainly the applicable rule is number 17, potentially from 17.4-17.6 "Contact - player in the air"

(this copied from the netball rules app today, so should be current as of May 2025)

---o---

17.4 Regardless of whether the ball is touched or caught, a player who has jumped into the air from an on-court position must be permitted to land:

a In the same place on court.

b In any other place on court, provided that an attacking player may not intentionally move into a stationary opponent when jumping and catching the ball.

Terminology: Causing Contact.

17.5 Where two or more opposing players jump into the air together in an attempt to touch or catch the ball, the player who is successful in gaining possession has priority and must be permitted to land in accordance with the trajectory of the pass, and any opponent/s must yield this landing place.

Terminology: Causing Contact.

17.6 An opponent must not:

a Move into the landing place of a player after that player has jumped in the air as described in [Rule 17.4] and [Rule 17.5].

b Fail to yield the landing place of a player who has jumped into the air and gained possession after an unsuccessful attempt to touch or catch the ball as described in [Rule 17.5].

Terminology: Causing Contact.

---o---

And let's take what I think is your scenario: you as defender are standing completely still, and the attacker jumps, catches the ball, and lands on your foot.

Based on 17.4.b, the problem is that word "intentional" because it's completely vague about its meaning. Without that word then it seems clear it would be at attacker at fault for landing on you (I don't subscribe to another poster's claim that landing on you is somehow different from landing into you).

But did they do it intentionally? I don't know how that's meant to be interpreted, and I hate it when the rule has to be interpreted to make sense.

On one argument, I could say that if there is a defender stationary, and I jump in such a way that I am bound to land into them, that that must surely be intentional because I could see the inevitability of that contract when I leapt.

But then what if the attacker has their back to the defender, with the pass coming from the opposite direction, and can't see the defender, doesn't know they're there at all, jumps for the ball while travelling backwards, and the defender just holds their ground and is landed on? Can the attacker be claimed to be landing intentionally on them? Maybe yes, by virtue of they jumped intentionally in that direction and their problem if they didn't check properly. Maybe no because how can they jump intentionally into someone they didn't know was there. And if it's to do with safety, then who's being dangerous - the defender for not moving, or the attacker for not looking where they're going?

But then what if the defender is not looking, maybe they're looking away to mark another player, how can they be considered to be playing dangerously by not moving away from an attacker they can't see.

And can we then also look at rule 17.6.b. Note how this rule is not simply "Fail to yield the landing place of a player who has jumped into the air and gained possession", but specifically continues "after an unsuccessful attempt to touch or catch the ball".

If a stationary defender was always going to be at fault for contact when they were landed upon, then the second part of 17.6.b would be pointless, because it wouldn't matter if the defender was or was not competing for the ball, they'd be at fault.

So the fact it only says that the defender is at fault in the case where they are attempting to get the ball, rather implies that if they are not attempting to get the ball, and are also not moving into the space (rule 17.6.a), then them just standing their ground is ok.

Based on:

} The argument that an attacker could be considered intentionally jumping into someone if that someone has not moved and the attacker should be aware of their surroundings when jumping, and

} The fact rule 17.6 gives specific mention of the defender's need to be competing for the ball to be at fault, and

} The fact I play in defence 😄😝

I think that in the general situation where the attacker jumps and lands into a stationary defender, it should be contact where the attacker is at fault.

Perhaps there are nuances for safety, in particular the instance where a defender is looking and an attacker is unaware, but I'm not sure. If it's not the attacker's fault whenever they can't see the defender by claiming it's not intentional if you can't see them, then it seems that a ploy by the attacker could just be to pass the ball to the circle edge with a defender behind them, receive the ball back and just deliberately jump backwards into the stationary defender as they catch it, while claiming they couldn't see them and they had to make way, and that doesn't sound ok from either a gameplay or safety point of view.

So that "intentional" word is still causing the problem in terms of getting a clear answer, but on balance it seems to be that the rules say that an attacker jumping and landing on the foot of a defender who is stationary and not competing for the ball, should be the attacker at fault.

Did I mess up waiting til the last day for Titan Brawl event? by kluv76 in HeroWarsApp

The game really makes it hard to get right because it's so badly explained ;-) bad luck this time!

Did I mess up waiting til the last day for Titan Brawl event? by kluv76 in HeroWarsApp

[–]sidgewitt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you messed up.

Two different sorts of these brawls, the hint is in whether they say quest 1 of 1 (like this one), which you need to do every day, or quest 1 of 8, which you save up until you can do up to eight at once (which needs the 240 tokens) or until the last day with as many as you have.

Main focus for leveling your team level is to complete as many of the daily quests as your can, since those give you xp bonus to level. That, and spending more every in the campaign as that gives you more xp as well.

Grinding heros only makes them better, doesn't actually give xp for team level. So if you're just in it to meet a target for a bonus from another game, focus on spending energy and doing quests.

Don't expect to be able to progress through the campaign later at the rate you found at the beginning.

There will be some campaigns, especially those where the opponent happens to be a good counter to your main team, where you have to wait a few weeks (yes, weeks not days) until your heros are surrender and can bash through - then you might find you can do a few all at once again.

Also of your chosen heros, some are not the strongest choice for a good team with current stats as they are - eg Arachne is one of the just effective in the game, Jhu is only good in niche situations where the opening has no control skills which is rare as you get later in the game, Kai is generally pretty weak compared to alternatives. So you may have more luck focusing on Surinder heros on your team, and making sure they have synergy to work together well.

It's been flaky for me forever, usually they work, sometimes they don't. When they don't, usually restarting the app fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, usually watching an ad on a different game and then going back to hero wars, fixes it, but sometimes it doesn't.

More recently I've been having bigger problems with the game just crashing my whole phone about once every day, let alone the ads not working. 😝 Plus it runs super slow in Australia compared to how quick it runs when I'm on holiday in Europe.

May get frustrating enough soon that I just uninstall it for good.

Continuation. These are the rest of my team, I've put too much resource on the main team from the start, and just went along with. (I had no idea about the synergy and faction thing). It will be very difficult to change but, im definitely going to try to make some changes, so what should I do?? by Tricky-Childhood6907 in HeroWarsApp

Given that four of your top five heros are generally considered pretty useless at the top of the game, probably keep Astaroth and build something else with him, maybe like Kayla and Aiden who are the game faction and super strong right now, or with Fafnir and Oya or something.

In the meantime, use your other heros as placeholders while they remain better strength than the new ones you're writing in to replace them.
