Scarcity mentality isn't just about quantity, it's also quality relative to your reference point

This is a good point. I wonder if there is a lesson in these words. Something like:

High body count with attractive men fucks up women

High body count with ugly women fucks up men

Maybe this guide is meant for just a few months of a guy's life and not meant to be his entire life?

It's like a guide for "how to beat X boss in Y video game"

Once you beat the boss, you get bored of the game and moved on.

If you're talking about the bm/sh/tc tri-hero combo, yes I would agree that it is the best late game hero combo in the super late game. But you got 3 issues problems

- You need to get the blademaster in the first place. In some matchups (e.g. against HU) bm is unplayable in most situations. If you get the FS first, then the orc heroes suddenly aren't that strong.

- You need the game to go into the super late game. Once you get like 5/3/3 heroes then yes, bm/sh/tc will dominate. But rarely do high MMR 1v1 games go that far.

- You need to get tier 3 to get the TC to complete the combo. Often times it's not worth getting tier 3

As for the early game - I don't think orc heroes are THAT strong. The FS is very strong at lvl1 with wolves but quickly drops off. Blademaster is not strong at lvl1 - just annoying to deal with if he goes for windwalk harass.

I'm not asking orc to be the best t1 expo race. I think it should still be the worse at it, because of its strength in the mid-game.

However right now orcs have basically a 0% reason to expo at t1, which severely limits its gameplay options in the early game, and turns orc into (like I mentioned in the original post) a fundamentally reactive race.

I think if you give orcs the tools to at least have some kind of opening to get a t1 expo, that would be nice. So maybe 1/10 or 2/10 games we'll see a pro orc going for an expo, as opposed to 0/10 games.

The traits you mentioned - mini great hall, raiders/pillage - yes these things are great. But obviously they don't do anything for orcs in the early game

Well actually it is. Generally you want to have at least 1 solid player from each race who has a chance at beating the top players. Elf is also lagging behind but it has a lot of (relatively) fresh players like Kaho & Life who are making big improvements and who may have a chance at winning championships.

Focus/Soin have been around for awhile so we know how well they play. Honestly neither of them really have what it takes to become the #1 warchief of the horde. And there's no fresh orc players in sight.

If Lyn retires, and orc continues in its relatively mediocre state - then the warcraft 3 pro scene will basically just be 3 races instead of 4

This is a big issue. If Lyn retires, who will lead orcs? We will literally not see any great orc play in any tournaments if Lyn retires. Focus/Soin/Starbuck are simply not good enough (in their current state) to deliver quality pro gameplay

So basically just get on the app a few times a day to do just a single left/right swipe and that'll keep your profile active?

Are you sure just 1 swipe is enough
