This game is a pile counter over another pile of counter ,here's another reason your game's dying.

FIRST OF ALL: THEY NEVER GO INTO THE ISSUE AND THEY NEVER TRY TO FIX IT COUNTER OVER ANOTHER COUNTER AND THIS IS WHY THE GAME IS DYING!!!

AP pushing hard with their AoE abilities , they buy Rod of Age and archangel staff so they can permanently push

you buy banner of command to counter it

they have minion demilitarizer

so you put a pile of counter over another pile of counter

YOU'RE FIRST PICK? GOOD! NOW HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO :
