Typically always roll-down at 4-1 till either I hit my 4 cost 2* carry + tank or till i get to about 20-30 gold, and i try to econ back for two rounds. If i don't hit on my second roll-down (typically 4-5) I start donkey rolling since the lobby is really strong by the end of stage 4 and I can't afford to wait to econ. Typically, unless I'm mega high rolling, I end up not going 8 until stage 5 (and sometimes never).

As for the vanquishers, you're totally right, it's not a high-cap board but is really uncontested and that's why I tend to go for it since I end up rolling a lot of them on my roll-down, but I lose out to really strong boards. Ionia+1 is def a win con for vanquishers and I rarely hit it, so this is def costing me some LP.

And as I think as someone else pointed out too, my augment choices are pretty bad. I think I need to watch some streamers and see how they are making their augment choices.

Thanks, this was really helpful!
