Best Noob Game I've Seen in a LONG TIME!

A few weeks back my buddy Dave and I were casting Low Elo Legends when we encountered this match. Castles, Rams, Sneak attacks, it had everything and I knew you needed to see it.

My favorite part of Low Elo legends is not knowing who resigned when the game ends

Lol every time

That's funny, but if a person resigns their name gets crossed out so you can tell who did it.

I love how you guys try to analyze what the plan is based on what resource he's going to. As a low ELO player, let me tell you...sometimes there is no plan. We go to resources for no reason and no plan behind it.

[@tyler558806]

You hit the nail on the head. More often than not I'm just building a gold mining camp in late dark age or early Feudal age because I know I'll eventually need gold for various units/upgrades. Meanwhile T90/Dave will be over-analyzing this asking "Oh, he might be getting on gold early to fast castle for a knight rush" Nah bruh...I don't know what I'm doing. I know I just eventually need gold.

"these guys really have the mentality to keep fighting" There are two kinds of Low ELO player. The kind that surrenders as soon as they see an enemy army and the kind that doesn't surrender when they have no villagers, no TCs, a stable, a market, and are floating 56000 wood.

[@MasterGhostf]

Makes me mad, I understand sticking it out as I have gotten wins from the clutches of defeat. But, that was because I had an economy and was holding. But, when a player has 1 tc, few villagers vs a fully imped mayan army, just quit. Honestly really annoying.

[@waleuska]

@@MasterGhostf yes. Please quit.

[@kartdei7854]

@@waleuska I'm more of a never give up type of person. Why? Because 1 time out of 50 the enemy will disconnect. That's +2% winrate. I don't advocate cheesing though, if you're down to 1 archer and you're green don't hide behind a tree or some stupid crap like that. That being said, so many games would be so much shorter if people just patrolled instead of simply moving.

I feel so bad for blue. He constantly runs rings around his opponent, has way more eco for a long time and never gets attacked, yet he manages to throw simply by forgetting to make vils. The struggle is real.

[@CRuduxypegg]

He had villagers, they were just busy rushing head first into castles and TCs 11

[@greywolf7577]

It was a combination of him not focusing on his economy, probably wasting resources at the market to buy stone for castles, and him refusing to make much siege.

Throwing rams to the castle, throwing vills to the enemy army, and have 0 on woods for the last 20 mins, something tells me blue is a decent attacker but a horrible planner

[@a.lampman2165]

Knowing that players like this are out there makes the game seem so much more approachable. I could relearn how to fast castle and some basic build orders and hover at like 1200, or I could just hop back into the game and play for fun and compete against my low elo brothers and sister at 800.

[@CrossbowManD]

Team games and ffa are a happy in between mode. Starting inefficiencies are a little less impactful and forgiving in team games/ffa compared to 1v1

[@SeaBomb]

From what t90 and others have said there's been a bit of a improvement through the upper low-elo range and a fast castle and other basic builds will probably keep a player between 1000-1100 depending on other skills. I think 1200 would probably be the point a naked-fc starts getting punished now.

"people keep asking Ho the co-caster is" It's T90. We all know Dave is the top dog!

[@dixiepop]

On the small chance that this will be read by T90: It might be an interesting idea to coach one of the previous low elo legends who really ranks at the lower end (~200 ELO) in a live game against a better player (~1k), for instance by first walking the player through the dark age build and then walking them through strategies that come to mind. I'd love to see if it's possible to beat a much better player purely with a good strategy even if it is not well-executed. I liked how T90 started off LEL by focusing on things upon which the players could improve, and that way that aspect might come into play a bit more.

[@CrossbowManD]

He would have to train them outside of a game. There is so much idle time from the person listening to you coach. They would quickly get behind, get rushed, and it would be frustrating for them in the end most likely.

[@energeticwhirlpool8666]

Reminds me of the "Viper plays with his cousin" series, where Viper first told the cousin how to play, then the cousin told Viper what to do.

[@TheNejD]

200 to 1k is such a huge difference you'd have to keep the numbers within like 200 ELO just to make sure they dont get turbo trounced even with help.

[@buttnuttz6119]

nejd there's just so much t90 would have to explain in such a short amount of time, and then that player would have to comprehend all of that while trying to follow a build order

Just play enough games until your ELO gets to where it should be. Then you roughly win half your games which is fine. I actually dont mind losing at Aoe2, coming from Wc3 where id get cheesed. Somehow its less angering in this game

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

@@iridium1911 "coming from Wc3" Getting peon rushed never gets old right? WC3/SC2 have really big rushing issues that make them basically unplayable at the casual level. Someone will look up a rush build order and then either kill you in 5 mins or resign.
