I absolutely agree that Dooley has a lot of issues with the core. I think the consistency of getting its upgrades should be more reliable; maybe it's guaranteed at levels 3, 5, 8, etc? And the rest of his items should be balanced around that. The Core is such a unique part of his gameplay that no other character gets and it feels really bad when it's the worst item on your board because its still bronze in a field full of gold or better items.
If you had taken the Monitor Lizard when it was offered you would have gotten poison skills the next turn and cruised to 7+ wins. Shield builds are useless, unfortunately.
Unranked is way more fun. You can be way more creative. Poison has no real counter but more poison.
Unranked isnt much better :P
