First of all is Brized's drafts, uggh, I really don't want to seem like I'm flameing but he does a very poor job of picking strong lanes. His roaming Chultuphant might've worked when he first re-entered the competitive scene as a member of Fray but it's become far to predictable and I feel like when The Returners have played against high level teams that their enemies ENCOURAGE him to play that Chultu. I would really like to see Brized pick up Parasite and play in the same fashion as he scales much better and can gank even more effectively. To add on to the predictability of Brized's draft, when the Returners faced QsQ, sqy banned Kinesis and War Beast against the Returners and as a fresh-team, the Returners seemed lackluster without those heroes. There is wrong with playing off the wall heroes but you must punish the enemy for wasting those types of bans, as the Legion side the Returners should instantly be locking a Tundra or Jeraziah and capitalizing on weak bans by the other team.<br />Another problem I see with the team is between Fittske and Brized, theirs to much wasted time roaming around. It seems like Testie is always by himself in lane or that Jeppins isn't really getting strong ganks. I know that the supports job is really to just provide good lane control but I would like to see them doing a better job of letting their farmers get ahead in the lane before they go off on their roaming adventures. <br />As for Ensoe, well, I think he needs to pick heroes that suit his style better. Give him a Magmus or a Moraxus, not an Ophelia. <br />Last but not least, Testie needs to do a better job in lane. Yes he farms well but he always lets his opponent farm 300gpm or better even though Testie always seems to have a huge matchup advantage. It's good that he's getting great farm but I think in the laneing phase he should be more focused on controlling the lane rather than farming it.<br />As I said, this is by no means flameing the Returners, they seem to be pretty sharp for guys who haven't been on the scene in awhile, minus Brized, and I get that they need to gel. This is just some constructive criticism, most of it I believe you overlooked.
