Playing as the Vanguards in this matchup is like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Although the balance seems off and the length seems long, I still enjoyed this match up. A very tough match up for VG. Due to risk of Ice rams, it is hard to use Sera's ability. Without her ability, it is very hard to out last the PD. Jarmond is quite a useful PD champ. He gets a lot of value against VG who have limited range attacks, limited attack strength to take down structures, and need to try to crowd structures to prevent rams. The match up also seems a little long. During my week of practiced, I almost timed out a few times. My current VG strategy may not be the right one because it feels like you will always be outlasted. Try not to summon a buffed up Nadiana after your opponent used guarding spirits (one of the bad sides of playing asynch is missing what active events are in play). Not sure if I agree with a double ram ban yet, but I do agree that coming back to the PD Wins screen and finding out you've been double rammed is the worst 'negative player experience' in the game.
