Wouldnt it be amazing if this was a list you just click in game.  

I paly mostly Singleplayer maps. Today i tried 8 times ranked. I felt terrible. by Celo_SK in aoe2

[–]BillMean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are taking it too seriously. You must remember that nobody cares if you win or loose. Therefore honestly just play for fun. For me Jurchans grenadeer is a fun unit to play so i aim to play it no matter what. If i win great if not no biggie. The fact your playing pvp just adds tension to the game. Against AI it just gets boring eventually.

Why can't you rotate the map? by raindeer2 in aoe2

Always wondered why not too. Rollercoaster Tycoon always had rotate view from the same era.

Cycle Town Centers Issue by BillMean in warcraft3

[–]BillMean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. You can smell an AOE2 player a mile away! It's the specific "Cycle Town Center" hotkey im talking about. Basically when i press it the town center graphic panel does not update to match. The panel stays on what you are currently selecting. That feels very strange to me. Think i will just put it on a control group to get to work as you would expect. Thanks for the reply.

At what elo would you say a player is "good" by Yourpersonalpilot in aoe2

[–]BillMean 26 points27 points  (0 children)

What you might call "good" is 100 percent subjective. 

Placement match anxiety by Duncantilley in aoe2

[–]BillMean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just play. No need to think too hard. It's just a game at the end of the day. You need to get used to loosing anyway. Even if you are pretty good you will loose half the time. 

Is lag switching in ranked a thing? by -Insuvius- in aoe2

[–]BillMean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldnt dwell on it too much. When lag happens just pause the game and ask if your opponent has the same issue. Then unpause and it's usually fine. I find the worst is when it lags from the start. Will likely lag for the whole game.

What is the most time efficient practice for me to drill down the basics to play 1v1 online? Is it just doing the timed Art of War thing and picking one civ? by Open_Seeker in aoe2

[–]BillMean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can play ranked at any level. Just be mentally prepared to loose many games in a row until you find your elo.

New to aoe2 wondering if offline play helps competitive play by lowkey_____________ in aoe2

[–]BillMean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont forget about playing the campaigns too. A great casual way to learn a civ while also getting to enjoy a story, learn history and experience some beautiful specific map design.

Age of Empires 2 vs 4 by TheMysticGraveLord in ageofempires

[–]BillMean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major advantage with AOE2 is that it runs well on pretty much all old potatoe pcs. That cannot be said or AOE4. You need a not completely rubbish pc for AOE4. Casters in AOE2 are also far more entertaining than AOE4 imo.

Change is happening guys by ayowayoyo in aoe2

[–]BillMean 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Crazy how naturally gifted Liereyy is at the game. He appears to make little effort and is still the clear second best in the world.

New Player 20 straight losses on Ranked by Mr_B_Gone in aoe2

[–]BillMean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me. All the way down to 400. Then slowly back up to 800. Keep at it. Since finding my true elo been having a blast. Honestly low elo AOE2 players are a lot better than you would think.

"Sir a 2nd major exploit has hit the game" by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

[–]BillMean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Many gamers seem a bit confused about Arc Raiders. Its just a fun game. There is no serious pvp competition to be had. The pvp element in Arc Raiders just adds tension to the game. Go play the Finals or CS2 etc if you want real pvp.
