    Do you ever find your games stalling out? If so what are your go to runes to break stalls? I find that one of my go to runes for breaking stalls when playing SP for example is Vicious Harpoon. When i play SP and notice the game stalling out I will wait for a harpoon to give me the edge on breaking the stall. If you are a BG that wants a longer game what is your strategy for staving off rushes from your opponents? What do you think is the best stall breaker for each faction?

    For SP:
    Alacrity
    Harpoon
    Slavers whip
    Whispers of the mind (bait opponent into breaking the stall and then laugh)

    Hoard Nora. At a certain point, having more champs out isn't actually beneficial in any way. Go in and kill stuff whilst denying/limiting their counterplay.

    Anything with drudgery is super good.

    The word you're looking for is "Hoard" - same pronunciation as Horde.

    As for me - I play BGs that want to stall for powerturns like Fan Faire or Adaptive ability, so I usually never want to break it.

    well when i'm playing yeti's stalling is just silly in my favor.

    st themes in general though have great scaling, so if the game stalls out it's usually in our favor
