Why not? If people have fun playing chickens, let them.

"Don't play chickens because you learn the wrong things for team/pvp-games", is that your argument?

Again, what's the problem here? The influence on PvP matches?

My point is, if people have fun playing chicken games, let them have it. The autohost is there for a reason.

You're missing the point, MK. People aren't allowed to have fun in unapproved ways.

Porc is a term used for the entirity of defensive structures. Similar to how a porcupine (see below) relies on lots of defense, a player is considered to be porcing when they are using lots of static defense instead of (mobile) units.

The "problem" with this is that, while it works great against chicken/CAI (because structures are very cost efficient in terms of raw stats and chickens/CAI blindly run into them), they do not work in PvP games. Other players will either kill (artillery), evade (go around) or ignore (expand into all the map space you forfeit) your defenses, abusing the fact that they are stationary. So while "porcing" may work out as a strategy versus bots, it will be countered somewhat easily by a competent opponent.

Thanks for the explanation!

Still, would such a strategy not easily be unlearned once someone plays a few actual PvP matches?

No, because it's very efficient in certain situations when done right and at least to some extend common for larg-scale team games, which are played (but also frowned upon) by the majority of players.

A good rule of thumb is to never porc at all because it is a really bad idea and only build large defences when your teams tells you to. In 1v1 you don't have that team, but 1v1 is completely different from teams.

Many newbies think that porcing is an effective strategy, because in case of victory they win, and in case of defeat their useless porc fortress in the corner is usually the last to fall (which they believe signifies effectiveness).
