UNDEAD RANK 1, here I come! - WC3 - Grubby

[@BGSenTineL]

I'm so happy to see Grubby playing and uploading daily warcraft 3 videos. My all time favorite game.

[@EssenceOfKapok]

This is very gratifying since I've been thinking to myself, "I'm not a bad player, elf is just hard" for about 15 years

[@45johngalt]

when I play Elf: "Elf is hard to play, so fragile." when I play against Elf: "Elf is so OP! Any noob can pick night elf and win!"

[@GRBomber]

"Elf is too hard" - that put a smile on my face. I wonder if @FollowGrubby will change his PoV when discussing balance patches.

[@krippaxxuseredarlordofthes9940]

elf is hardest to master, then orcs, then undead, humans the easiest. @user-wv5ut7hq1q

[@JoceBeggar]

Yeah, orc is actually overpowered, orc has the best anti Air with bats from entire game

[@badrinath5306]

Elf is still the same. Because he's not main he's not capable of saving ancients of war etc.

[@QuietuwuX3]

He gave up on Night Elf, our promise of infinite content may be ruined.

[@nickk3403]

Honestly I’m glad he took a break with elf

[@Josuegurrola]

Yea we kinda love orc grubby, not anything else. Maybe human they are funny (and has dwarfs)

[@smokeychickenwings1038]

@@Josuegurrola speak for yourself, I doubt this is the majority opinion

[@stefanocioni2587]

Unless you play boring dryads and bears with dh Naga every game can’t make it

[@snipercz1]

@@Josuegurrola I find orc the least intresting, with humans being the most enjoyable

[@Number1139.0]

23:55 i remember his 100_vs_0 serie 4 years ago, "with all races" where he played 3 first games with NE/orc/HU then 97 with UD, playing tryhard meta every single game, and even when his oppos typed 'gg wp' and started talking he kept microing. I enjoyed it alot.

[@mokacoffay2]

He was not the Iron Hand of Justice. The pact is sealed.

[@Life_of_Matthew]

"The pact is sealed" "The night beckons" "The ancient evil survives" all such memorable lines

[@mausten]

Bro, I loved the way Grubby explained chat about sarcasm. He looks like Spok 👽

[@felippetaveira]

You know, content wise is a fun experience watching you struggle playing as night elf, the journey can be tough but I think you'll become stronger learning from your own mistakes eventually

[@mahamba25]

"Eat your brother!" 😂

[@darkaquatus]

DotA 2 is actually one of few examples where they used to enforce 50% winrates on players in order to make the game more fun to play for beginners. Because of the high skill ceiling most beginners would lose most of their games and therefore quit after a few days. So in order to prevent this from happening the system would regularly pair them up with better players and against worse players to make sure they won enough games for them to still enjoy the game. Naturally, this would go at the expense of the players in the other team who ended up losing games because of this. That's why back then there were loads of games that were unbelievably one-sided, because this would have a snowball effect throughout the ranks of higher ranked games as well. (Hopefully I won't have to explain why this is) From what I know this does not seem to be the case anymore, but it was quite frustrating back then. Especially because there were no hard resets available for your ELO. The only way to reset was just creating a new account, which is exactly what I did. And guess what, I ended up on a way higher ELO with the new account and managed to stay there, while at the same time not being able to climb on my old account. I even posted my findings with links to my accounts and all of my games in the thread. Most people agreed, though naturally there was the occasional village idiot disagreeing, lol. Oh, and just to be clear, I'm talking about many years ago now. Back when they still tried everything they could to get new players to start playing their game.

[@kyleyjs]

is this in a valve blog post or just the sentiment on the reddit.

[@darkaquatus]

@@kyleyjs This was a pretty well known thing back in the day on multiple forums. Lots of people were talking about it, I remember. And like I said, I personally tested it to make sure this was the case. I had to make 2 new accounts and get new ranks on both of them, because I didn't feel like the poorly matched teams were enough proof. After all, that could've just been the result of very bad matchmaking algorithms and bad luck, you know. This was the only way to know for sure. If I remember correctly, both new accounts arrived somewhere around 4400 while the older one was stuck at almost 1000 points lower, which is insane if you think about it. But let me be very clear once more: this was in the early days of dota 2! I'm sure they've changed their MMR system dozens of times in the many years since then.

[@TheZikron]

@@darkaquatus when i used to play 5 years back that was still happening, i observed that as soon as you got to 52% the game would team you with horrible teammates usually with low behaviour score or that are just plain bad untill your win score stoped at around 48%

[@Zerradable]

I remember feeling an absurd decline in skill endowment and competitiveness in my games after TI3... That definitely makes sense.

[@Mufireael]

The thumbnails are truly amazing, appreciate the videos Grubby, cheers!

[@ZeroFate643]

Next journey begins! I've enjoyed this series a lot and even seeing the losses, it's been familiar and relatable to feel that ladder struggle.

[@stefanocioni2587]

Mirror against necroman gonna be sick

[@rexchance5598]

I always found hard MMR resets to be quite fun in games other than MMOs. There is a sense of wonder and excitement in playing someone who might be multiple leagues above you. You actually get experience the difference in skill first hand, which usually only happens if you get smurfed on. In MMOs you might want certain gear in the first week(s) and having to grind until your MMR settles back into the appropriate range wastes time you would rather spend on something more productive.

[@Qbed]

Yeah! My favorite race! Try once fiends frosts 3/3 upgrades.

[@POINTS2]

20:28 Of course he has 2 boots of speed. He needs one for each foot!

[@Twis7]

After losing his Hero. "It is good. He lost more." And the way he protects every single unit is insane. I never mastered that skill, so sad for me.

[@Blekk101]

Undead is my favorite race! Stoked to see this part of the challenge 💀

[@xathlak]

Need to put together a compilation video of him talking about NE before and then after trying to get rank #1.

[@guiguito5505]

Hype! Love Undead.

[@vinetuchlupaty]

I tought that the switch to the UD in the last video was joke. I actually really enjoyed you playing NE, gonna looking forward to NE continue.

[@alexandernice3934]

lol the intro

[@information_handle]

Hi grubby. DR is obviously undead hero and is in the tavern since the 4th hero spot is already taken by CL. Makes sense since in the campaign CL is loyal and DR isnt. Do you think it would be balanced if CL was a tavern hero and DR altar?

[@ryanpalma5947]

So excited for UD!

[@NM-zt9kb]

i would like to see more PL - love that attitude - and his skillset

[@marcozx135]

“I’m not done yet” aka maybe 5 maybe 10 months from now we circle back to this

[@gregor9734]

"They lost the ability" 😂😂 Btw in the early days it wasnt implemented as well, as far as i can remember. Except for custom maps. For some reasons, fast loading times/ moments of disruption, people were not able to view gamerace ingame, only on the loading screen.

[@erichite3398]

I remember I got wc3 when I was 11 and wanted to be good with UD and Night Elf, but eventually started playing Orc every game. Warmill +1 into 2 barracks grunt rush with pillage. That became the extent of my wc3 game and I loved it.

[@kkoz66]

Heck ya I love undeaddays

[@kurzackd]

The most amazing part about this video is that... how... *how Grubby won 3 (THREE) games, but **_ONLY 2 (TWO)_** got counted in the lobby scoresheet .. AND NO ONE COMMENTS ON THAT ?? :D* Not even *GRUBBY himself !! xD* .

[@ernestomarcos0103]

Thought you'd try to go orc n° 1 again after elf but I guess that'll have to wait until you get to the top with UD. Cool stuff! Edit: out of the normal openings for each race how would you rate them? Like obviously Militia gives you a much quicker advantage than Grunts but would you rate AoW/Skellies higher than Grunt for creeping?

[@BeatRag28]

Just wanted to get going with a round again after 10 years, but now it will not even install proberly. Classic is installed but tft does not succeed. @Grubby do you play on classic tft or on reforged just with classic visual?

[@attention_shopping]

soft reset is a neat idea but i'd like it if you can choose -- say every month you get 1 time to choose when the next game will be 2x/5x the value

[@tnnetnattninuttn4627]

And then you lose it because of a smurfer.

clash royale resets everyone trophies (MMR) every season. but the higher you made it the season before the bigger the win multiplier is. so the good players make it back up quicker reducing the amount of unfair games.

feeds easy exp agianst some builds. All you need is AOE damage or dispel of some sort, also the necromancers can be weak to being sniped. But its a a strat that can work.

don't let happy or eer0 know about grubbys quest ^_^

[@Grrblt]

Maybe NE is too hard because moonwells need a buff!

[@trixmtll1393]

not reseting mmr has other properties though, such as total playtime mmr the majority will keep itself baselined while those who play the most will pull away at inflationary rates. changing the nature of competition, and those that play the most can farm off each other, beating someone once, and then the same guy 50 times, does not equate to better skill than the majority even though beating that same guy 50 times increased the total mmr from the average baseline. resembling elitism, collusion, or nepotism type of systems, since entry to tournaments are gated by mmr hardwork should be rewarded, so a full reset promotes hard work, a soft reset promotes collusion the top of the echelon does well to all know each other, and play with each other constantly and create content with each other constantly and keeping the mmr bar out of reach from any competition that cant commit to full day playing. if you beat 1 person in the ladder when hes = mmr than you, then you climb by 40, and they get -40, if they go off an win 5 games in a row and now have more mmr than you, and then you beat them, you shouldnt get +60 or more mmr. you should get like 1 mmr, and they should get negative mmr equal to their last 5 wins, or some sort of detrimental effect as such. deminishing returns

Hahaha i knew Grubby is getting all first ranks, just not with elf, because elf imba u know xD

If you want to be a pro undead you need to get the vibes of the dead. For example. Happy's last name is "Kostin" which could be transtlated from russian as "Bone'ov' (Кости = Bones).
