Thanks. I will attempt to do a scathing counter-review now.
Maybe it would be more interesting, should the post come as a screenshot guide to the game.
1) Above you see helpful spec advice:
``Supernoob get 2-3 builders and reclaim the metal around u''
My comm is here selected with the green circle.
Above you see wreckage, in a cool fluorescent blue.
Then you see THE MASSIVE SLASHER HORDE IN RANGE OF THE WRECKAGE.
I politically refuse to comment on the suggested zeus vs slasher matchup idk maybe good whatever don't have the metal.
2) Here is number 2! If you saw something suspicious in picture number 1 you were right! There was that green goo coming onto the reaper wreck, it's the enemy rezzing my allies reaper after it was walked into by the flamethrower comm and died. Reaper now alive, very timely.
As timely as comes the super spec advice:
``Those things u can fuck up with reaper. Yanom send in the reaper when they try push with slashers. Back it up with Glaives.''
Wow nice good thing we have a reaper and 10 Glaives thats a huge advantage versu----err a rezzed reaper and a horde of slashers and a trollcom.
Also I never understood this peoples thought process. You know what I'm talking about. There are people who speak in codeword all the time. They got a codeword for everything and it just means some indeciphrable aliens stuff. Here a codeword is displayed, the ``Backing up with''. You'd think it is some magical winning strat that makes us win but he is just telling me to run his reaper and my glaives into a reaper and slashers (And flamethrower trollcom).
Other notable codewords: 'Attack!', yes people managed to screw that up.
It usually means to run units into defense and donate wreckage to enemy.
'Help with air!' = Run air into mass antiair and donate wreckage to enemy while stripping your air force.
'I rush Eco!' = Will stall-build a singu for the next 15 mins then it will die to raiders. The Eco is a prostrat and advanced meta: There is no running into enemy and donating wreckage as there is nothing to run with!
If you know a meaning of ``Backing up'' that applies here and is not insane feel welcome to contribut lol.
3) Here is where I'm supposed to be running away (Which I am, yay), then rebuilding my factory.
4) Except as you see the slashers are pushing and I really can't.
If I ran further back the slashers would go further in.
And before you ask: My left ally is gunship, as seen from the gunship lab left, my right ally is the hevy veh reaper suicider. There's nothing to run behind ok no units.
5) If you wonder what is the right thing to do in this situation and guess walk my com into a HLT and the flamer trollcom and die you guessed right! Oh wait it's not me it's the hevy veh player RIP.
Also this is the first enemy HLT.
6) Here they make an another HLT on the hill! I guess the enemy team should've votekicked the dirty porcer, unfortunately they missed the opportunity! I didn't screenshot the enemy that made 7(!!!) defenders in a wall to spare them the eternal walk of shame. It could almost be considered bullying.
7) Here you see him push a bit further down and make a stardust and a third HLT.
Such spectacular unit play totally showed me the wrong of my porcer ways now I make only mobile unit all game every game and raise elo +300.
In the end I'm not sure what the heck is going on.
With secret inner circle stuff like ``Backings ups'' and ``Support'' and ``Kick porcer'' and ``Reclaim the metal in range of a slasher death row'' how is a confused outsider supposed to know when they need to ignore ally advice since its a crock of Tachyon Particles, and when to follow it. SUper hard game gg.
I read up on the Lancaster's Law. Or at least the Wiki article.
The Lancaster's Law seems to work in my opponent's advantage.
The 4 slashers can shoot my 5 Glaive before they are in attack range.
Also the flamethrower com can kill like 20. idk about the ramble about small units making a Big difference. Maybe westerner special snowflake mentality with tiny Glaive underdogs making a comeback against the big bad bullies.
Even if I beat the Lancaster's law in my disfavour and make cost by killing 3 of the 4 slashers: Still die to the 8(?) reinforcement slashers, no delay in losing my base versus what happened in the actual game, just more easily accessible wreckage for enemy.
Thanks for the extra condescending part about large battles ``on Front Doors'' and ``Sending What Your Have as it Makes a Difference''. Maybe also the sharecarebears should be involved to teach the power of love.
Also failed Banshee attack into antiair is now a ``Strategic Gamble'' which seems to be a new codeword! In surprise to everyone it literally just means sending stuff to die and free wreckage for the enemy.
For the Front Door Battle, a special 3 part mspaint-marked screenshot series for easier visualization:
1) This picture for example proves that I moved in first. So all the stuff about not moving in is really confusing. But it's okay, keep parroting Godde after all he complained about me not moving in so if you do the same maybe you too can have 2500 ElO.
2) This is a picture mid-attack.
A badly damaged Glave is pulled. Due to bad control, two additional Glaive are pulled. I guess I could have them stand in slasher fire for about 1 additional second until they are also red HP my bad.
3) Aftermath of the battle enemy dominating advantage remains
I still think my biggest mistake whole game was somthing random like not selfdestroying the factory to deny reclaim metal.
As no strategy was really suggested I came up with one: Making a pair of ticks, and positioning them behind front line so they cloak up. If the enemy pushes, maybe there is some hope if they drive a slasher ball directly onto the ticks.
