I FOUND RANK#1 AT 2000 MMR! Warcraft 3 Direct Strike Gameplay

[@shogunivar]

Probably shouldve kept this one in the drafts man. The constant whining about your teammates isn't a great look

[@PicaPinguin]

thx for your feedback

I completely understand your frustrations when its come to your team - agree with what you said, havent watch past 4 min though.

I would say hero asap is the safest play. You can get countered pretty hard spamming t1 units for first 2-3 waves. If by chance your team doesn't have mid control playing like this, you will always feel too far behind to build that hero and come back into the game.

[@PicaPinguin]

hero first is the easiest play but it is for sure also not great cause u give up middle 100% if u do it early on - which i dont like cause mid means money yes someT1 untis like ghouls can get countered hard - thats why u should never pick them even if u fail mid control u can still get ez hero out and no u are not far behind at all then imagine thou u win mid early then u are far ahead of enemy! so my advice is - play for low risk high reward!

[@Matt-ln7lb]

@@PicaPinguin It's definitely not 100% loss of mid, though it does make it depend more on hero rolls/RNG. Some heroes + 1 hunt/grunt will win vs the 4-5 grunts/hunts the opponent can put down in wave 1. Especially summoner heroes, like keeper, firelord, AM, FS, can often win that wave, which can also potentially result in an early stack and snowball. It also means a potential XP lead, which can matter later with the level 2/3 spikes. Going hero first is higher risk, but also higher reward. I don't think it's really a clear-cut decision, and especially if you rolled footies or ghouls, it may actually end up the safer play to go for the hero on first wave.

[@PicaPinguin]

@@Matt-ln7lb if your opponent on e.g. bot possition opens with mass T1 frontline you cant win wave 1 if u have a hero and 1 unit even on perfect hero roll u will lose the first wave guaranteed (not including games where someone gets a stack on wave 1 e.g. with SH) you wont get any xp lead with hero asap - i might do another video on this to explain why going hero first just gives enemy mid for no reason on an average game their are spots where hero early (not wave 1) is better but that happens more when u get bad drafts & hope for highroll hero to compensate your bad draft going hero first means no mid and enemy might snowball out of it so u are behind whole game delayed hero is simply low risk high reward play btw u never ever pick ghouls doesnt matter how the other side of the draft looks like they just feed orb of darkness to hard

[@kenitek8172]

​@@PicaPinguin Going mass t1 (Q) unit in particular leaves you open to many things and you gain very little. The first wave has 0 impact on the future of the game because leaks don't even get past the tower it's a negligible amount of gold, high end your impact is 40s of mid control which nets you 20g. The gold is irrelevant since odds are unlikely this even leads to an additional unit. You can also look at the hero first as an investment you put 500g towards the hero at the point in the game where winning your lane has the smallest impact. Saving up for that 500g any time afterwards is incredibly difficult. If you look at this game as an example, you had no impact on the early game because red and teal won their lanes for you. On wave 2 they softened up the enemy enough that you had nothing to fight. That first wave on huntresses you sent out didn't even hit blue, all it did was hit a tower and net you a bit of gold. We can take the example of mass grunt which would be the strongest t1 (Q) unit. If you mass it, you leave yourself vulnerable to the likes of shaman, banshee, sorc (especially next patch) and summon heros. You now have the problem of needing to build dispel to not lose your lane, but you also want to get your hero out. In order to afford hero in time you need to save 90g (with full mid bonus) or 135g without mid. When you decide to go for your hero you will probably lose your lane because you're short on gold, your opponent can squeeze out more in units due to this because they can spend all their gold leading up to the wave and then buy something like Dryad dispel or Shaman Lightning shield while in their units are still crossing.

[@lightworker2956]

It depends. Some t1 units get countered harder than others. And sure sometimes you roll a great hero and look like a genius for rushing a hero, but hero ASAP can backfire if you don't get great options (or if your hero isn't great without a good number of units on the field). I'd rather get a whole bunch of grunts than a quick hero, but I'd rather get a quick hero than say a bunch of ghouls (agree with PicaPinguin, they suck).

[@tobibatt4731]

I have a few questions/suggestions: 1. Why do you place the naga behind the huntress? If you place it infront it gets a few hits in before the frontlines crash. 2. Whether to get an attack /armor upgrade for your units should be a pure math question right? Gold for percentage increase in strength which is also a gold value, or am I missing something? 3. When considering positiong vs lich would it be usefull to bait his nova on exactly 3 units?

[@PicaPinguin]

sure man, thx for your reaction

@@PicaPinguin Hey, thank you for your answer!

[@Matt-ln7lb]

@@PicaPinguin "on top t3 units get more value then t1 units from upgrades cause they are % based & t3 has more dmg then t1" That depends on the unit in question and how much AoE is in play (since AoE is stronger vs low HP targets, reducing the value of upgrades on weaker units), since upgrades are essentially a function of value (1 upgrade = ~10-13% bonus damage or +12% base HP as EHP). Sure, 1 t3 unit gets more from an upgrade than 1 T1 unit, but in terms of % gain in value, it's pretty similar. If anything, the T1 units actually tend to gain more from upgrades as a function of value (Disregarding anything that ignores armor and has no practical target/damage cap). Of course, you also need more units to justify upgrades with cheaper units than more expensive ones, as +1/2/3 are worth it at ~2500/4200/6200 gold value in units, so would require about twice as many 150 cost units as 300 cost units, as each set of upgrades is a ~12% increase in unit effectiveness, with diminishing returns (disregarding unit collision and surface area increasing the relative value of upgrades; realistically, the gold value needed to justify upgrades is probably 10-20% lower; realistically, upgrade timings should generally be worthwhile around 8/13-15/18-22 minutes in for +1/2/3). Also, higher dph (damage per hit) values = more overkill, so the damage is a bit less efficiently distributed, though that's a minor point at best. Tauren, for example, have relatively poor attack upgrade scaling, as Pulverize is a significant portion of their damage and their base output is otherwise quite low - around 20% lower for the cost than a grunt. Knights are another unit with notably poor upgrade scaling, as they have 5-sided dice and high base armor. With 5 base armor and less than 10% bonus damage per upgrade (average 31 with +3 per upgrade), they scale poorly. A 2/2 grunt with brute strength is significantly more gold efficient than a 1/1 knight or Abom (disregarding disease cloud, since you don't need very many Aboms/wagons to get that value). Due to Pulverize, Tauren scale much better with numbers/army sizes, so can easily still end up more efficient than better upgraded grunts, but the same is not really true for Aboms, or especially knights, neither of which is likely to be worth selling grunts for under any circumstance, given relative effectiveness for the cost.

@@Matt-ln7lb i feel like u missing the most important thing: its not only about play for mathematical correct choice most games getting won by good army composition & counteer your enemy & know what is most important in which situation in the game sure knowing which upgrades are more value is fine but its only the cherry on top imo 1 wyrm with 1 dmg upgrade is always way stronger then 3 berserker with even 2 dmg upgrades not even close & iam not even talking about playing vs MG lategame then it gets even worse for T1 yes overkill dmg is a thing but the BIG upsite is that high dmg kills enemys fast which lowers their dmg instantly the upsite is way more impactful then the downside! the big t3 units on top can tank a lot and benefit from heal a lot more which means all dmg an enemy puts onto a wyrm without killing it is basicly wasted dmg while berserker just die quick and that means value well yes thats true tauren are weaker vs like MG but destroy e.g. necro mass low HP unit comps u cant just say they are weaker or better it always depends on enemy units against necro 1 tauren is way better then 2 grunts i agree that knights are not a great t3 unit abo disease cloud can be decent but overall abos not the best thing u want to see - true btw + 3 is never worth imo (on an average game) cause its way 2 expensive for what it does getting a second or third wyrm out is way better then pressing +3

Es sind keine Schims, sonder "Kims" in deutsch zwar schimären, aber in english ist das CH nen K. Bei den teammates habe ich das gleiche feedback. Direkt keine Kommunikation nervt mich auch immer an... sei doch froh, dass man sich versucht in der Taktik abzustimmen. Du hättest ja deine Einwände darlegen können ;) Cooles Gameplay ansonsten. Habe einiges gelernt

[@PicaPinguin]

he didnt offerred any advice & i told him gently to not give me any more bad suggestions cause they are not helpful at all he was "advicing" me with a bad suggestion which i didnt asked for later i wasnt sure what to do so i asked my team for their support iam sure u would not jump off a bridge if someone tells u you have to but you would maybe ask your mother how to make a good dish (if she can cook well) thats a big difference imo! if you just tell ppl what u think they should do without any knowledge if they are open minded for this suggestion u will most likely hurt your e.g. teamplay more then helping it
