The AFK Player (Lowest Elo Legends EVER)

This is the lowest combined elo I've ever casted... with a combined elo of LESS than 100. Well for one player you can easily see why... While this isn't the most competitive match, I talk through a bunch of tips and thoughts about starting playing AoE2 ranked in this one. Enjoy!

When I was young I assigned exactly 10 vils to each resource and thought this was a well balanced eco. Then I created 150 of the unique unit and 10 trebs (all from a single castle of course) and after 2,5 hours I steamrolled the base of the medium AI.

I played someone yesterday who was literally AFK the entire game. When I saw their score hadn't gone up in like 10 minutes I chatted something like "are you alive?" no response. RIP. I considered going in for the easy kill. Killed his vills and TC on fire. And then suddenly I saw the light. This was a golden opportunity to live in peace and prosperity! So I turned the baseball game on, made like 175 vills (not all at once because I was chilling), one of each military (just in case) and just relaxed playing medieval Simcity for like 2 hours until most of the resources were gone. Then I converted his scout and rushed the TC with my vills. I had to take a screenshot of the stats...

"You went AFK for two hours to die like this?"

[@gam1ngfr3ak]

On the ladder / ranked comments: i think part of the difficulty there is you start in the middle of the ladder, not the bottom. Some games start you off at the bottom - you're in Bronze by default and have to work your way up. Whereas AoE starts you right in the middle of the pack. So if you want to get to an appropriate rank, you have to lose quite a bit. Especially if you're new or don't really know what you're doing. So it can make for a tough experience - especially for people who don't fully realize this is how it works! Imagine being a noob (or like me you don't have to imagine) and you jump into ranked and get absolutely blasted a few times in a row. You think "man, I have no chance even against the lowest players!? How am I supposed to make any progress?" But you don't realize that you're starting out towards the middle rather than towards the bottom. My second ever ladder game I got tower rushed. Not a great experience for starting out on ladder. I imagine others have had similar experiences.

[@rekttt_7374]

Agree with this, it should start from 0 elo, so it's not punishing for new players that want to try ranked game. I can imagine how stressfull to lose 10 game in row because they completely new to the game

[@Arborvitar]

DEFINITELY. It's not nice when you are literally a giant noob and you get TC dropped in the dark age. Not kidding. I was like 'is this really the meta?'

[@sylfraeaveniore2684]

Me: *gets forward-based*

[@mrosskne]

This way is better. If everyone started at zero, new players would constantly be getting annihilated by skilled players working their way up the ranks. By starting everyone at the middle, you minimize the maximum possible distance between any player's starting rank and their actual skill level, so people get placed where they're supposed to be much faster, get into appropriate matches faster, and spend less time being frustrated by steamrolls.

[@gam1ngfr3ak]

@@mrosskne I agree, I don't think my comment meant to say it's a bad thing but some may have interpreted it that way. The system itself isn't the problem - the problem is that the game doesn't explain this. As a new player people may not expect to start at 1000 elo or understand what that will mean for their experience.

[@harryeast95]

I played exclusively in 4v4 games against the default AI, this is back with the Conquerors Expansion on CD. One game I remember specifically lasted something like six hours and it was Britons (incl. me) vs Franks team islands game. Presumably one of my allies built a wonder because I know we won. Basically, what I'd do is convert the enemy transport ships as they tried to land in our "harbour". And then I'd eject one unit at a time from the enemy transport ship and convert that! It was great fun. Of course, I saved it in the middle... made great use of the save game option, I did. Possibly in the same game, I also had fifty lbows and I just one shot everything. I also used to use lbows to siege castles (maybe with treb support, I don't remember). Two other games I remember were as the Koreans and Vikings. In the latter game, I had walls built on walls and it was just this mass slaughter as they walked up the island to my walls and got shot at by long boats. Eventually, I believe that game ended when I managed to swing round through where I believe two of my allies' bases had been and hit one enemy at a time in the side. The Korean game I remember much less clearly and I think I lost it. I was, in the part I remember, in a southern part of the map and I was fighting enemies below me. The longer the game and the more death and destruction, the better. There was no tactical play whatsoever... all strategic deployment of spamming whatever unit.

When I was young, I palyed AoK on PS2 with max of 4 players and 100 population (but only with up to 3 players, with the full 4 players, you only have max 75 pop). When I first played AoC on PC, I never had more than 25 villagers in Imperial Age, which to get there took me like an hour or so. The Medium AI in AoC was an impossible challenge for me to master. Now I am about on par with the Hard AI in AoE:DE. I don't know my Elo, because I didn't play multiplayer yet.

[@jprsfragoso]

To "fix" the "people that play 4 ranked, lose all, and give up", I think a simple solution would be, when you start your ranked "career", just play a match against a person, online, who more closely match the highest density of rank available, because in probabilistic terms, that person will belong in that zone. Ex: join in, first game. 1% players are 0-200, 5% are 200-500, 7% 500-700, 15% 700-1000, 45% 1000-1400, 27% 1400-1700, .... So, my first game, I immediately join the 1000-1400 rank, which is where most people are. I lose, and I immediately jump to the 700-1000. Then I win, now, the "jumps" are slower and slower.... until, at the 10 match, I already have a good idea where I belong. This would just make the initial trip easier.

[@MadeManG74]

In regards to T90 talking about using a game vs the AI to get an initial Elo placement; King of Fighters XV does this. You enter ranked mode for the first time and it asks you to play against the AI 3 times (IIRC it's three different difficulty levels), and it will then assign you a rank based on your performance. It's pretty cool, and I think in a game with an even bigger playerbase like AoE it would be a good system. Obviously it's faster to play 3 games in a fighting game than it is in an RTS, but there could be some kind of way to transfer that with playing one game vs AI etc. I think it should be optional though, but with the warning that if you skip the AI game you'll get thrown into the 'mid rank'.

When I was at a small private school we knew computers better than the computer teacher, so we snuck on a bunch of SNES games on floppy disks (this was over 20 years ago). So when she wasn't looking we were playing Megaman and Bomberman and stuff lol

Whoever said that you yelling "supplies'" , "Let's goooooo" or "Tuuuuutins" is turning them away from the content doesn't understand the content. Its your personality that makes it TC90

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

In theory they could also account for things like APM and how quickly your eco ramps up, maybe other stuff as well. Compare those values to the values at various ELO levels.

My problem playing ranked is that I'm a try-hard. I can't relax, I have to do my best, but that's just stressful.

[@felicityc]

yeah, if I'm not spending a lot of time trying to get better, I don't really think it's worth the effort and the stress. Not that I expect to play well immediately, but even the process of realizing where I need to improve is stressful and unless I am all in on a game then it's definitely not worth it

Awww for the last couple weeks I had to realise that the LEL uploads were always from the parts of the stream that I caught live (even though I usually would only tune in for 30-45min), but I hadn't seen this one, and my ohh my :D Also T90, you screaming 'supplies' and 'heated shot' IS the reason I tune into LEL in the first place so please keep up the great work!!! Thank you for the cast! :)

[@Kettwiesel25]

What I find most interesting is that blue is aware of the gathering point of their military buildings, but doesn't seem to know that it just works the same with the town center.

[@Bleifuss88]

Blue was the absoute classic LEL here. Do not attack until: - every single tech is researched - every forward ressource is taken - you have at least one of every possible unit the game offers - military is built up to pop limit

[@Cloud.Strife]

9:35 He's stealing the forest lmao

[@professorstatic1657]

That attack noise at 10:32 better be in the T90 Sound Mod Pack...

[@acolytetojippity]

God this reminds me of a LAGtv starcraft cast with a player who tried the "build a spare building, fly it off to the corner and line your SCVs up next to your comand center" strat to make their opponent think that they were AFK/that the game glitched out. and then just sat like that for about 30 minutes while their opponent just never attacked.

[@Londronable]

I was so young when I first played this game that I couldn't read English yet(not my mother tongue) and honestly, didn't know it was a game to fight in. It was my first time playing an RTS. I would place all sorts of buildings and build all sorts of things and suddenly the look of the buildings would change with little waterfalls and such and I loved it. I also remember opening a map and exploring and finding a building that shot at me. I had this king so I walked him up to the building that shot arrows at me in the hope it wouldn't shoot my king. It did and that ended the game. I was so confused.

[@Hugh.G.Rectionx]

22 ELO and hes only there half the time. does that make him 11 ELO?

[@heygek2769]

Or would he be 44 ELO if he actually played his games?

[@LebonezLive]

I used to play some games while working at a University help desk in the evening shift. Probably 10% of the time I'd get interrupted like this from user calls.

[@matthewquinton293]

They are so good you couldn't even tell they were AFK for 10 minutes.

[@squatlebherz4434]

It was a lot more than 10 minutes 11

[@Thetarget1]

I bet red actually thought it was paused, since he came back after 30 minutes without having been attacked

[@LukeAps]

Hah. Thank you for casting this respectfully and humorously.

[@auntypha5958]

imagine if someone hosted a "race to 0 elo tournament". Everyone below 100 elo, just play eachother until someone has 0 elo. but with the prizepool structured so winning games still results in money.

[@jandeusvult2920]

Sir, I too have a dream

[@johnsmithe4656]

Ah yes, the Great Boar Battle of 52, many lives were lost that day.

[@joshuafreivald1591]

38:22 he’s totally at work 😂

[@someguy9873]

I think the most confusing part of this game was red putting a tower OUTSIDE the walls.
