[@chrishaywood2458]

Excellent cast! Really enjoyable content. Would definitely like to see more matchups articulated so well. As someone who used to play Orc the most , this game was pretty painful to watch but also entertaining.

[@mofabet3631]

I've always wondered how in such a game, where each unit is unique, it turns out to maintain a good balance. The main thing is not to desecrate the forests. Otherwise, bears with dryads will come out of them, units that are made from the same building have the same upgrades, both are both attack, support, and casters at the same time. If you try to kill them, they will immediately fly to the base, bathe in hot springs and return in a few seconds to continue instilling fear of forest dwellers in you. If you are very successful and have caused damage to a lot of units, don't worry, bears are able to treat any wounds, right in battle, I hope you have captured enough dispells. Well, you understand, take care of nature, otherwise it will come and break your face.

The balance is very delicate thing but I think orcs could use some love. I think the problems have been overshadowed by all the UD and HU discussion.

thx for this great cast . i wish u make more cast about other races ( ud vs orc . orc vs hum ... etc )

[@zxbc1]

The recent buffs to DH and Keeper are inexplicable because they weren't weak heroes to begin with. The fact that a lot of NE used to use tavern heroes wasn't because their own heroes were weak, but because of meta game.

[@KillmanPit]

To be fair. Keeper used to be quite bad. In a meta where bm windwalk worked really well, keeper just didn't get any exp early game. Demon was always good though.

[@pierredachello6268]

They only buffed the abilities that were basically never used.

[@MrWowmaster98]

@@pierredachello6268 immolate is OP now, is that a good thing?

[@KillmanPit]

@@MrWowmaster98 it could have been a good thing if we got a regular support and rolling meta. Where abilities for nerfed and buffed periodically. The way it looks now, it is kinda ridiculous.

[@zxbc1]

@@KillmanPit The problem with the philosophy of bringing everything's uptake rate is that it's just counterproductive. Just because something is less used doesn't make it bad - it could be good for fewer situations but it could be extremely good in those. When they went with tavern heroes, that was very well understood as they basically said "we want to make sure overall balance is good by providing you with options", they didn't try to somehow make heroes "equal". The fact that NE was able to use tavern heroes should not have created an impetus to bring their altar heroes up. I have the feeling that the balance has been handed to different people to the point that the balance team now no longer understand the original design principles. They clearly do not understand it better than veteran players.

[@kevin-7091]

This game is a great highlight on the current state of orc vs night elf. I cannot came up with any matchup in which losing two of your hero while your opponent is trying to expand is not a gg. It wasn't even a long struggle to get back into the game, it was a huge power spike that easily turn back the table with a single fight

[@clrdr7]

Can you (or others are welcome too) explain why Raiders into Bears? Raiders' Siege damage only deals 100% dmg to Bears' Heavy Armor but Bears' Normal damage deals 150% to Raiders' Medium Armor. Seems like a big mismatch. Wouldn't a better strat be to just use grunts+spirit walkers and save money for Taurens who can go toe to toe with bears, deal AOE splash damage once upgraded, AND can be revived by walkers and get more value? Is Ensnare just that good? Even if you catch one the NE will just staff them out before you can kill.

[@FollowGrubby]

Imagine orc loses Blade Level 2 and SH level 1 against Elf, elf expands, and Orc wins the followup fight with 2 Taurens against 50 pop dryads

[@FollowGrubby]

Without lockdown, you will absolutely never kill one single bear because of Staff

[@clrdr7]

​@@FollowGrubby Hm fair enough, thanks for the reply!

[@r2pleasentgold244]

Staff might be the problem. It's a pretty lame item really. You just get to save one of your units for free every fight, even 2+ in a longer fight. Perhaps a cooldown on the staffed unit would be better, where they can still take damage. This would take more skill in timing the staff, and allows the other side the choice to continue attacking it or attacking something else.@@FollowGrubby

At 7:30.. That was it GG right there.

Interesting that worker pulling only was known by pros only 5 years ago. It was a fixture of some custom games such as civilisation wars over 10 years ago, to the point that worker pulling was often a bannable offence.

[@RunFool]

I wonder if Grubby could occasionally team-up with Moon and play others, both pros and random guys. It would be epic to watch if they manage to get into sync.

[@danieldaponte1819]

If grubby and moon teamed up against 2 random players, it would be like watching seal clubbing

[@petercoderch589]

@@danieldaponte1819 Yeah, why do people like to watch curb-stomps? It's not funny, it's not entertaining, and all the people involved feel terrible. The pros feel terrible for doing that to children, and the children feel terrible for losing all their heroes and units in less than a minute while feeling powerless.

[@qwatsdat]

I remember a trick in custom games to beat illusions. Pretty niche if you are in a 1v1 and they cast illusion. If you you do nothing and let your unit auto-attack it will attack the real hero 80%+. Not sure why it works or occasionally fails.

[@pheidippidess]

I've always wondered - with Orcs always having such a problem with healing, is it really not worth the investment in witch doctors for healing ward? I rarely ever see it in these games.

[@kevin-7091]

Healing ward is a tier 3 upgrade. You are forced to commit into a caster that has no dispel, and a heal that only works well outside battle. Meanwhile, Undead has statues which is a tier 2 unit that require no upgrades, human has priest which is a tier 2 unit that can also get a dispel in tier 2, and elf has moon wells plus a strong melee unit that for some reason is also a caster

[@DarkZide8]

It's not that good of a caster tbh. It's dmg buff and revjunate that of all the healing spells is the hardest one to micromanage. It's also an expensive cast. Most of us don't run with tier 2 bears because they are expensive, will get killed and rejuvunate aint as flexible as human's priests or UD's statues. Moon wells are nice, but they are stationary. Honestly, a part of me want to trade the moon wells for Healing Salves... or a scroll of healing. We don't have any good mobile healing and that's why Alchemist is sometimes used. @@kevin-7091

[@dark3031]

Healing ward also heals too slowly, really not worth its value as a tier 3 tech, as in a lot of the pro games orcs don't tech to tier 3.

[@mechakinggidora]

Damn, saw this title and i was already interested to see how it played out

[@Taznak]

Hey Grubby, how hard is it to train for multiple races at the pro level? I know Infi has done it, but most pro players don't. It would be so convenient to just be able to switch to Undead or Night Elf if Orc becomes weak.

[@TheShiumy]

I feel like grubby rooting for orc against elf, is like me rooting for human agains undead. You like a good story where your race struggle but still manage to win. And if the opponent make BIG mistakes and still win you are like "is this what it takes to win ?"

i played aaaages ago when i was a child and i never was any good rly. now ive been watching grubby videos for a while and feel like giving it another go. is there a reason why the pros dont play with the new graphics? or is just because they are used to the old stuff? and secondly - would you have any links to rudimentary, easy beginner guides? cheers, big fan

[@HeavyMatty]

oh, and are there any noob ppl playing this game any more or will i be queuing for ages? :D

[@EricM93]

Grubby has videos for beginners and basics on this channel. If you search his videos you will see them. Players still use the old graphics because they are objectively better and far easier to see the units. On bnet you will find players, but will likely lose often at the beginning.

[@Grriabear]

Tons of players. Do not expect a warm welcome either lol

[@Ado125]

new graphics is terrible, it actualy makes it more chaotic and stuff isnt visible enough to notice difference between some units, it lowers gameplay

[@hn7933]

new graphics are awful. bnet ladder has a wide range of skill. I just started ladder about 2 months ago. It is okay, but it is amazing to me when I play vs someone who has like 5k games + and is the same mmr at me with less than 100 games played, I obviously get rolled in those games because of openers/army comps/creep routes/timing- my micro is almost or close to better, but I am low APM lol.

[@novat9731]

It's funny that Blizzard recognized repairing workers as a priority target in 2002. But a decade later for SC2 they completely neglected this. Resulting in military units have prio score of 20, and all workers having 19 unless attacking. So Terrans could wall their Thor with SCVs early on. Not always useful, but in the few scenarios it was useful, it was extremely infuriating trying to individualy click 45hp workers. Especially if you had melee units or missile units with projectile travel time.

[@shengqin1798]

this is a classic colorful game. Too many unexplainable mistakes, but still he could win in the end. Similar cases happened when he plays against human. In this game, orb of venom determines the result. With only 1 orb of venom, lyn has already been very tough to deal with. not mention two. BM is so weak in 1.36, so I am not surprised why many Chinese orc players want to play 1.27 in some Chinese wc platforms.

[@Kanikalion]

Yeah.... I've always kinda understood the argument for NE being the 'easy mode' race, or late game human because late game human support spellcasters are OP AF, but seeing this game and hearing the economics behind it, I definitely agree more now. I know it's not a 100% flawless, foolproof argument, but that massive economic advantage because moonwells is HUGE in a game like WC3.

[@DarkZide8]

Night elf is anything but easy. Every tier 1 unit you make when playing NE is an investment into your opponents XP bar. You always have to switch and hope to god your opponent haven't been so aggressive you had to spam archers and hunts in self-defense - because every single one of those are gonna turn to enemy XP when the game goes into mid. Also, I genuinely think if the Orc player had invested in serpent wards instead of hex (don't need it, you have both Wind Walk and Ensnare - hero kills are available) they could've won. NE will always have dryads so playing to their weaknesses is key.

Hey Grubby, this is a common practice in Dota when you need to pull the enemy creeps in lane so you can kill your range creep and there's no enemy hero in your lane.

Wow Lyn gave up even before he had used his mana pot. I really think devour should go faster. Even after a long fight NE can always pick up retreating Kodos, which are still devouring. Even if the Orc TPs he can't really step out of the base witout getting creep jacked. He has to leave his devouring Kodo at the base - that's so annoying. In the beginning of the game Grubby explained the AI abuse with repairing peon, which is global. I couldn't see any building in the orc base which was hit and which was repaired. Or does constructing a new building (voodoo lounge) counts as well?

[@petercoderch589]

The Orc Vs Elf matchup is *absolutely* imbalanced in favor of Elf. Even Lawliet said so. And this is a very, very old problem that goes back to ROC in 2002 that only got worse in TFT. Elf, by *design*, is made to beat Orc. They get ranged units straight out of the gate with better range than HH. Grunts too slow to run away. You arte forced to go raiders for crown control since dryad slow grunts and allows easy kills for Elf heroes. Elf AOW creeps to expand, and Elf still gets free healing from wells while you're forced to spend on heal pots. Any attemp of counter-expansion from Orc is impossible because of Ultravision. Elf magic poerfect to neutralize Orc heroes + extra damage on grtunts which have heavy armor. The rule of thumb is that Orc needs ~250 extra MMR to have 50% chance of winning against Elf. Blizzard has made some attempts to balance this matchup over the years, but the problem is that truly balancing this matchup would require completely redesigning the races, which would break the other 3 matchups for both races. It's hopeless. I hink ha increasing speed of tgrunts so that they can run from archers betteror increasintg the mana pool of shams could help. Chatgintg the heavy armor of grunts would break the other matchups. But even this would only eliminate some of the advantages that Elf has but not all. Like Hitman said on his stream: "It's literally impossible for elf to lose to Orc if the Elf player has a working brtain."quoting verbatim).

[@twassell25]

You miss the point. If lyn loses his BMA AND SH AND 2 HH the game is literally over. Not only can elf afford to easily throw away 2 heros and 2 archers, he's able to do it while fast tech'ing and easily crush his opponent who not only outplayed him but out massed him. Colorful made endless mistakes that would cost any other race the game. Lyn made no mistakes that I saw. Outplayed colorful, kills 2 heros, 2 archers for NOTHING LOST, has an expo to counter tier 3 and colorful just easily wins while making mistakes left and right. Lol.

[@baple]

Why do you think it is round eye players struggle vs eastern eyed players? I beleive its due to the superior shape of Eastern eyes for viewing screens. If you think about it, the distance to blink on eastern eyes is less than a round eye, thus allowing higher overall screen viewing time vs a round eye. This gives a small advantage to Eastern eyes but noticeable
