What is the big deal about playing EM and Non-EM?

Why do people criticize you when they see that a majority of your games are EM?

Is the transition hard from EM to non-EM?

Easy mode is easier; yes.

But why is it such a big deal?

because easy mode isnt easier, its an imbalanced game mode, you get double gold per minute, towers are weaker, more gold from zzz, kongor is soloable at fucking level 8 with zepher, etcccc

carries basically carry wether theyre good or not, every automatically gets 120 gold per minute making creep kills and denies less important, you can basically solo a tower before someone mid could come top to defend it etc

so basically if you really are interested in learning how to play hon turn your join game settings to not bring up easy mode games and stick to non em. if you ever got to higher psrs youll find that most people wont play with you because of your EM %. not to mention the lack of EM games in higher psr brackets

Before release I had 700 games EM and 100 games non-EM. On average I had better stats in the non-EM games I played before release. After release, I just stuck to non-EM games since that's all anyone cares about, and I didn't have a problem making the transition. You'll find that it's much more likely a team will come back from a loss in non-EM than you would in EM. All it takes is one genocide when everyone is lvl 25 to completely turn a game around. If you were good on non-EM without picking mainly carries, you should do fine. I've randomed my hero in probably 850 of the 900 games I've ever played on this game. So, I just play whatever I get, which is funner. If I played competitively, I wouldn't, of course.

EM is retarded, seriously. Tattoooo explained it quite good

It favors carries too much.
The whole point of casters etc is that if you gank a carry enough, he wont be able to recover and will be prevented from getting decent exp/items. EM forgives all these carrys. They can just keep playing with their 0-10 magebane. Then suddenly they WILL have items and go from 0-10 to 20-10.
Also, I remember accidently joining an EM game once, and i got tower dived to my third tower by a level 4 predator. (ps. eventually he died and called me a cheating noob retard, but thats not the point)
This is simply not learning the game. You should learn to fear towers as they do a crapload of damage on you in the early levels. EM messes up this idea.
Then when EM players go to non-em, they are like WTF I GET 3 SHOTTED BY TOWER THIS MODE IS CRAP IM GOING BACK TO EM.
It's stupid, really

Em is basically a farm fest

If you pick anything besides a agil hero, your fucked

Played my first Non-Em game.

Luckily I had Warbeast ( First time playing though)

Ended up going 8-3

I had: Abyssal Skull, Shrunken Head, Shieldbreaker, Steamboots, Brutalizer

Was doing about 300 damage at level 21.

Did pretty good for the most part. Had about 210 CK as well.

Warbeast is so fucking good since the buff, but requires 0 skill to play.... jungling is haaaard!

Play Em make you noob!

Well EM, its just too simple, usually only noobs play to EM so if you are good to play you go to play EM only for pub stomping and farm/steal PSR and K:D ratio.

My clan friend usually go to EM for pub stomping and he have 2:8 K:D ratio but me and other clan guys, keep blaming him, cause he do too much EM.

EM is a joke. You get 2 gold per second, can tank towers for literally ever, get double xp, and it encourages bad play
