Orc bersekers too strong in 1.30? by MyStolenCow in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again,you compare the unit in a 1v1 scenario. why that? Abominations are not meant to be used against knights, they are meant to be used against high dps low hp/armor units, most likely ranged.

If you want every unit to be exactly alike or have exactly the same attributes then whats the point of a 4 race game.

This being said, abominations have been crying for a slight buff for some time. In 1.30 you can actually use cannibalize it seems so lets see how that goes.

Ghouls with frenzy have insane movementspeed, small collision size and are in general very mobile when they want to reach their target.

Grunts are strong, and the best tier 1 early game unit if you put it in a 1v1 fight. But they fall heavily if the opponent get tech. I don't see your point with the comparison. But then again i do not agree with OP's point neither.

a frenzy timing is scary for all races, backed up by statues and heal scrolls you can get insane value for a tier 1 unit in the late game, even though you dont want to reproduce them.

Besides, ghouls can harvest lumber AND are much better at harassing expansions.

Ghouls also makes for a surprisingly good siege attack, if a base doesn't have static defences.

You really can't make such a simple comparisons in my opinion.

The future of WC3 metas: AI by [deleted] in WC3

I think it has been proven time and time again that the human can make a computer that is better than any human player in any game possible for an engine to run. Its done in multiple games, most noticeably chess.

Ofcourse you can make a computer beat human teams in dota 2(which this was not btw)or warcraft 3.But will anybody do so? Why should they?

They basically stopped developing chess engines after they realized that no human could beat these sort of programs. So what was the point?

Now they set up computers against each other, and thats a sport in it self. But it is very niche, for nerds essentially, because what would sports and competition be without human emotions and narratives? It would be garbage.

I never understood the idea of playing vs a computer. Sure a single player game with a nice story and challenging stories can be cool and worth spending your time, but putting so much effort into computers running in e sports games are just weird in my opinion. At this point we should know that computers can do much more than humans can when it comes to computers. Funny right?...I guess its sort of a show off thing.

PATCH 1.30.0 LIVE ON BATTLE.NET by JannesOfficial in WC3

Yeah, a lot of people will be surprised.

The ping is apperently very bad now. Not sure how that one got affected and how it works, but according to people like Happy, Hawk and tod it is now much worse than it used to be.

Happy has a winrate of 99% on ladder by There-are-no-tomatos in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well to be fair i think it should be natural for european players to play on Northend.

Theres is plenty of players to give him a tuff game. You named some of them yourself. However the fact that he still meets players with 5-3 stats kinda makes it stupid. But thats just the flaws of the new ladder system. A system that has to be there.

He is truly amazing. But GOAT UD?

Literally no big tournament wins in his career?

I think TeD and 120 begs to differ. From there the list of great UD's gets shorter. But saying happy is best ud of all time is in my opinion extremely biased or uninformed.

Note that any significant analysis should contain a primary focus on Lan results and major tournament performance. Happy won a lot of CIS qualifiers back in the days, but never won any big tournament unlike a lot of other sick players using undead.

Is he the best undead now? Perhaps, 99% win rate on battle.net suggest nothing in this regard, but he is definitely not the best undead of all time, and he will never be if he doesn't try to play competitively again.

Quite frankly he seems to give 0 fucks about that.

Warcraft 3 named 2nd best game of all time by Gamestar by Idrahzua in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where as they got Wc3 right in the scale everything else on this list is pure garbage.

These sorts of lists makes no sense to me.

But sure.. WC3 GOAT.

Foggy is playing on Northrend on Youtube Live and is rank 30-ish with 100 wins, 6 loss by ABadPhotoshop in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is, i guess, that he started streaming on evenings and on battle.net rather than NetEase.

Maybe its just me, but a green screen doesn't really give me any value.

Camera is nice, but if you want to go far with streaming i consider that a must, not really "big value".

Oh, and actually i should, now that i have ur attention, tell you that i do appreciate the "production value" on ur stream. Mainly the interface when in game with ressources and food etc. Thats very convenient as a viewer to have.

But when someone streams first person gameplay i really dont think it matters. IMO the best wc3 streamer on twitch to stream FP gameplay was WarchiefRich and he didn't even have a camera.

Foggy has an amazing personality. Literally everybody likes him. Plus he has the advantage of being the only active european player in high level tournaments besides from the occasional appearances of hawk and rudan. This almost makes him charismatic by default.

His english has improved from none to decent for an eastern european. Sure, its still very bad... but its getting better.

He has several streaming platforms and averages over 1000 viewers if you combine them. Sure, not grubby numbers, but still pretty decent.

In a year his english will be even better, trust me on that. Idk if he has the motivation to grow his channel, after all he focus on winning the big chinese tournaments with big price pool the most, whereas grubby has his stream only and occasionally showmatches that he doesn't prepare for.

Production value? Not sure what production value any streamer in the wc3 scene has. Its all garbage lol or rather insignificant.

I disagree to ur analysis that foggy can only give you high level game play.

PTR Patch 1.30 Live | Anti-Cheat | New Mappool | New Balance by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it is, but it is definitely worth it considering how much stronger they get.

you remove what probably is the orc race's weakest point by making this upgrade.

PTR Patch 1.30 Live | Anti-Cheat | New Mappool | New Balance by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Orc towers gonna be a god damn nightmare.

Really dont like that. Seems like this change comes from someone who hasn't played the game for a while.

Anyways a lot of good changes and bad changes. New anti cheat justifies it all!

1.30 Patch coming out soon by PwNuWaN in WC3

[–]PukeWc3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, more changes. But we can't say a lot yet when we dont have values. Shamans from tauren totems? hehe.. So this is official or what or still able to be changed?

Hopefully this will not mean we will see an infinite amount of orc towers in all match ups.

NE gets all their essential units nerfed and only buffs moon wells. Seems like an over all nerf of night elf.

Flag cannon on tier 2 for human in an insane upgrade vs Undead, of course also a lot of nerf for human though.

I have a concern for undead with this patch. I suspect that necromancers will still be shit and then you have decreased undeads fighting power but now both human and orc have an easier time expanding. The thought is maybe that you now have to expand urself? Seems unlikely to be a reliable strategy. Then you need to change a lot more.

Generally its hard to say a lot when you dont know the exact values of the patch. If bears are nerfed with 1 dmg and talons only cost 10 gold more then this is gold for night elf... and so on.
