Can we BEAT RANK#1 Grandmaster? Warcraft 3 Direct Strike Gameplay

[@somebody-anonymous]

Neither piercing nor normal damage have any bonus against heavy, w.r.t 9:45 . So footmen wouldnt do better than headhunters. Piercing does reduced damage vs medium armor and heroes, so you could say its relatively good vs heavy armor

@@somebody-anonymous true, but you want some front line first

[@PicaPinguin]

you are totally right i just used the wrong word here (Bonus = better DMG) it is still correct what u should play as displayed in the video

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

Sometimes when you lose making more frontline just ensures you will never win on the long run: you won't tier up or buy the right tech upgrades in times. Some other times some draft combos and hero picks just outright beat yours even if yours is overall better in a more all around sense.

[@PicaPinguin]

hey man, yes thats true but in this case u wouldnt have won anyway adding dmg when behind is 99% the worste play (unless enemy has no AA against e.g. chims) well the hero picks does matter but even if u have the worste heroes u can still win most games with good items! items can easy compensate for hero diff if opponent does not item against you!

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

@PicaPinguin sure, I am just saying it sometimes feels like rock paper scissors: aoe hero with grunts dryads would beat summons hero with shaman hunts who would beat sustained dps heroes with footies/ghouls banshees/sorcs who beats the first

[@PicaPinguin]

@@zachariastsampasidis8880 well yes its about who can outplay the opponent better & who can draft better to do so true test of skill to win with even an disadvantage on the draft! i LOVE it

[@BengaIaas]

The dryads are actually pretty bad vs chimeras. Because they are magic immune, they will attack anything else before attacking chims, and at the same time the chims will demolish the casters and then the frontline. Buying an orb on DL and having your hero away from your casters is a nice solution for this, as the chims deal reduced dmg to heroes.

[@PicaPinguin]

XD yeah giving Lv 6 DL an orb is literally the worst thing u can do the vamp aura makes DL one of the strongest heroes cause he can lifesteal and get insane sustain the orb literally makes him 50% weaker and thats very bad! note: on melee heroes like panda, cryptlord & DH an orb of corruption is very strong vs chims cause they are very tanky!

[@BengaIaas]

@PicaPinguin lifesteal from the aura still works when he's attacking ground units. When he's attacking the chims, then the chims are attacking him instead of deleting your army. I understand why it's sometimes bad, but in this scenario, i think a cheap orb just to tank the chims until you get something better would have been an advantage.

[@PicaPinguin]

@BengaIaas yes its true that he keeps vamp vs melee BUT if he is just attacking the air cause of the orb he has 0 LS and dies quick which makes him very weak! thats just wrong and bad gameplay in this game i had gargs T2 they are great vs chims in exact this scenario 100000 times better then ruining my DL with an useless orb!

Ich feiere wirklich hart deine Comments und Erklärungen während des Gameplays! Super Video! Wenn du deinen Content für mich persönlich (und vielleicht noch manche andere) ein kleines Bisschen verbessern willst, würde ich mal schauen, dass du den extremen deutschen Akzent ein klein wenig abbauen könntest bzw. an deiner englischen Aussprache arbeitest. Meine ich überhaupt nicht böse - eher komplett gut gemeint! Mag deinen Stuff!

youre welcome & thx for your comment

[@andreasthygesen5313]

Hey love the videos, learned alot. I tried watching some of your vods on twitch, but your voice isn't coming through. So basically I only hear the ingame sound not your voice. Is that on purpose or is the problem on my end?

[@PicaPinguin]

sounds great, i dont record mic on vod atm - this makes youtube editing easier for me OBS doesnt offer me to make 2 audio tracks on stream records so i have to turn mic record off in order to get a cleanfeed vod iam sry but making youtube videos just has priority for me & i dont care much if the twitch vod has no mic recorded thx for your feedback!
