There are no Taka players in high skill tier.

If you're talking about PoA or Vainglorious I can see that there are practically no Takas in there.

Here are some of the most annoying things I constantly see Taka players doing:

- Overextending and refusing to stick together during mid - late game
- Lack of patience, always pokes his head out during an ambush and giving our location away
- Stealing Minions in Jungle
- Stealing Minions in Lane when I'm Ringo, Taka wanders in lane then steals last hits whenever I knock a minion's health down.

With the way Taka is build & meant to be played, his presence greatly upsets the balance on most team combinations. Often times when he's on my team in the past it plays out like a 2vs3 situation because he's always the first to run in a gank. I'm glad to see a Taka on enemy team. If he's on my team I AFK immediately and wait for next queue.

you pop up on every Taka thread I visit I'm starting to seriously feel a need to prove myself to you LOL
why don't you start a thread for people to offer comments and advice to Taka players? if we're so horrible at least tell us what we're doing wrong all in one place (I'd definitely check in every day to see new posts)
I love playing Taka and it's pretty disheartening to see my favorite hero on the receiving end of so much hate

Hah...I didn't mean to put anyone down in a negative way, and if I came off so, my bad. Even when I said somewhere that all Taka players are horrible human beings, I probably just got off a really messed up game with him and needed to vent. I just really dislike Taka as a character and having him on my team, that's all. Maybe it's my luck, but looking back - majority of the unpleasant games I've played there was a Taka on my team. Rarely do I get the chance to play with the really decent Taka players who are actually team oriented and makes a difference.

It could also be that my play style does not mend well with Taka players. When I'm sniping lane, I don't like Takas who constantly wander up to steal last hits on minions instead of actually supporting because it gives the enemy sniper an edge on gold & build. When I'm in jungle, I absolutely hate it when Taka players steal my minions instead of waiting for the next one around the corner to pop up. Many also refuse to stick with team during mid-late game and the tendency to over-extend with Kaku makes them difficult for me to play with and be effective.

I take my last comment back to back to back. Taka players are horrible human beings lol. Absolutely horrible with a slur.

@long****kim oh ouch. what happened this time?

Taka can't take a lot of damage, so he dies quickly from strong heroes. He can't dominate in 1v1 battles without help, but his ult is pretty strong so if you can get it quick enough with Kaiten you can kill the enemy quickly before they can get any hits on you. He needs to be able to chase his enemies, though. Played right, as said before, he can be really strong.

True, but from what I've seen for Taka to be effective, his target must be low on health in order to achieve a successful kill. In ganks he is practically useless because while two players attempt to get enemy health down (2v3 since Taka can't sustain) often by the time he does manage to achieve a kill (if lucky), everyone's health is already low. The best scenario from a gank involving Taka is pretty much that both sides retreat.

They should have made Hattori Hanzo a char instead.

It's your team man. I run in the same problem when playing in the solo que. if you get some support or even a tacky team member they go in and distract, then Taka goes in for high damage burst. I always go in with a at least a reflux block to sustain a little longer. There's no way you can compleat with Taka or any character for that matter without it when you start playing better players
