Amazing video as always! I have a very fun anecdote! In spanish speaking community I casted hoang since he did a full all-in Drush with huns and then CA castling at min 22. And since he was 1800 I've been covering a game of him at least twice a month (since like 2012). This guy is so well known in spanish speaking community that he himself chose to call himself "juan" which is what our people call Hoang since that's how it sounds like. He is a lovely guy and till this day one my favourite players. Red phoshporu is top player, absolutely love him aswell

100% agree on that strategy games need these sorts of strategies. People get so stuck on metas that they refuse to try and experiment to try and find something that might be better or will beat the meta. I would be very sad if the devs decide to kill these strats for no reason other people are frustrated and refuse to learn to play against something.

I love these mad strats and agree completely that they add to the game and mixing up the meta is always good. However, it's when these strats become the meta for the lower levels it's frustrating. I gave up on ranked fairly quickly at around 1200 elo because the games were too much about executing these S-tier strats and you either felt like there was nothing you could do or you disrupt it in the slightest way and the other player resigns immediately. In that sense the game suffers. But the problem is people farming elo rather than the strat itself.

As someone who just started playing aoe2 competitively recently: How were the celts nerfed? When I look into the patch logs, I only see buffs like woad raider more hitpoints and attack, ring archer armor added and stronghold buffed? The only thing I see is that the infantry speed bonus no longer applies in dark age, which takes away the bonus for a drush as celts, but hoang was not performing drush? Or was drush a crucial part of the all-in with hoang with rams? Would like to get an answer to this as it confuses me. On the topic itself as a game dev and having played many other RTS competitively: It's absolutely not a problem if such strategies emerge. It enriches gameplay and diversity of games and it is very interesting to see what happens when 2 of those strategies bump into each other like fc rathas vs. fc war wagons and so on. Does one UU emerge as the best of all those in a meta, where everyone is doing ths stuff? In such a case, something must be done. Or does it change the game to no longer anyone wins with this as 2 such UU strats bump into each other usually and then both have to start getting 2nd TC and then 3rd also makes sense and the game just has a new default opening which includes UUs and not only scout/archer. Of course it must be balanced, but that does not mean it will be nerfed out of the meta. It can be balanced so that FC into UU is just another opening that works with like 10-20% of the civs. In such a meta players just have to accept that they need to get a defensive castle up fast so they will no longer be overrun by rathas etc.

The drush was indeed a big part of the Hoang Rush, I remember seeing him making 4-5 even 6 militia, which would allow him to fast castle in peace.
@Progeusz-
@Progeusz- Ай бұрын
Before the nerf, Hoang was always making multiple militia and he often went way past beyond the standard 3. Even 5-6 wasn't the limit, there were games where he would make 10 or more. His strategy was very oppressive, he was attacking you with a lot of military before you could make any feudal army. By the time you finally cleared up all the militia, he was already in castle age with forward siege workshop and knights coming into your base. Bonus to infantry speed was crucial for this because it meant militia were arriving at your base faster, it was harder to wall against them, they could outspeed the villagers and even after you reached feudal, it was hard to kite them. The nerf didn't kill the strategy, Hoang managed to adapt, but it was definitely less potent since then.

The strategies themselves are really cool. The big problem is how much easier they are to pull off than to counter. If they were just as highly effective but also took an appropriately high level of skill to pull off, they would be fine -- good for the game, even. IDK how that could be solved, though...

9:32 the main issue with those all-in strategies is that very often the game become a coin toss, especially at higher levels. Pro players also innovates pretty much all the time but aiming for more consistent strategies, which may be less exciting to watch and are more difficult to replicate.

The thing I hate about the Youpudding and Red Phosphoru strategies is that I was a 1000 elo player attempting to theory craft all in strategies where you stop building villagers to get a quick boost in the economy to win rather then just get better at castle dropping or the regular 1000 elo strats. The strategies they use are basically exactly what I was looking for and it killed my motivation that someone beat me to it. Just starting to get back into the game/ranked and I think I have a fast feudal rush that will be able to get me past 1000 in my own style.

Phosphoru is an innovator but he cant move beyond 2200 with his strats. Having a few allins in your arsenal is fine but he has nothing else. You need to be able to play a normal game too if you want to progress. He catches people a few times and then they figure him out and his cheese no longer works. Standard play is harder to pull off but its not capped like that.

Im deeply anoyed by these cheese all in strategys. I have to admit that the idea behind took a lot of creativity. But since it once got established there is no creativity involved in executing these all ins which are so difficult to counter. I consider that abusing the over powered units which should have been nerfed a long time ago.

The main problem with phosphorus strategies are they are just way too simple and easy to do. It’s basically game breaking. Someone spends months learning meta and trying to get good and 2k+ players are dying to this. Even phosphorus said that he could not get that high with hoang strategy. That is what makes hoang unique. It actually had a super high skill ceiling with the strategy. These strategies are too easy and strong. If that is how the devs want the future of aoe and the ladder to be then so be it. It feels like age has become so much more stupid than the old strategy game I loved and played for years.

yeah exactly. Those Tiramis's words are lil bit weird at the end where he says he likes off meta strats. Daut does off meta strats in tournaments with m@a rushes and stuff. This red phosphoru bs where you cant even counter is not a off meta strat, but OP one. Like I played vs same guy twice, first time i lost fine, second guy i knew exactly what he is doing with bengalis, i had tons of skirms to counter rathas, but pathing screws you a bit and if ratha gets on top of skirms they like 3shot them. Is just dumb. Usually aoe2 is and always been about balance and if you go full in you are on huge timer, but when you spam castle age unit non stop vs feudal or early castle age there is nothing balanced about it. And I would actually liked a bit more coverage, where F1re lost to Viper's korean fc phosphoru thing. Like it does work even at super top level, because those units do not have a counter early on

@@eodo14051 AOE2 is a good game cause it has a lot of possibillities, the problem comes when a strat is abused cause it has no clear counter. In this case is the market abuse + strong unique unit. It doesnt make any sense that you have eco+army, but you cant counter organ guns, when is a unit that requires no upgrades for being as strong as it is, and kill anything you do in feudal age or early castle. And yes you can counter it sometimes if you enough damage, i've won them RP and Hoang, but i've also lost to RP when he has 13 vils alive, all in wood/gold, when i have eco, army and such. The same goes for other games, if u pick Akuma and abuse that he can fire hadoukens in the air and in the ground and fasters than the others, is not cheating, but is abusing an exploit, and for me, that kills the game. I tell you, if this becomes the meta, FC no eco into UU the game would die in months.
