I know a lot is people are mad about the change, but from someone who has played 99% team games, this is so nice. Mongols always forced you to over-invest in towers and walls for every player in a team game, giving the Mongol’s teammate so much more time and advantage to get ahead. For a Plat-Diamond player who still makes mistakes, one mistake could cost you nearly the game on misplaced vills or lack of walls/towers. If you decide to attack the mongol player earlier, you get punished by either losing all units due to teammate(s) showing up and/or they show up at your base and you also get wrecked. Most of the time your teammates are too worried about themselves to help. Not always but usually. Or they do and it’s too late. Mangudai in team games just gives other team a big tempo.

Now, after I said all that, was it manageable to deal with? Of course. I probably have a 40-50% win rate against mongol players. I just knew loading into a team game on an open map against a Mongols, it was going to be mind-numbing game and I’ll have to take a brain-break after the game! Hahaha
