Funny that because they are making SC2 more like War3+cnc that we go try out those games and see how shity they really are. Mite as well get used to the shityness.

Funny, I thought Warcraft 3 was slower. Games end faster usually, but there's so much mundane stuff you have to do (ie, creeping) and you're constricted by upkeep, etc. Stuff usually snowballs in Starcraft pretty quickly.

i guess by pace, i mean you get units faster and sooner and you have to attack sooner also

That's somewhat true, although sometimes when I play (my main race is Night Elf) I just get my DH as soon as possible and just go to ToA just so I can get Dryads as fast as humanly possible.

I'm sorry to hear you don't like War3 that much, but it's a different game. The style of play is not supposed to be the same as BW.

But when you really see how the game's played (like you learn unit counters and BOs and stuff) you get to see some crazy shit people pull on each other (go on YouTube and see how Moon beat Zacard 3-0 :O mass Cyclone FTW; he had like literally no army and he won)

And alffla's post about DotA is true; if you see higher-level games they get crazayyyy ^^

The thing is DotA is pretty cool, but WC3 like you said is too centered around the heroes. In my opinion, it would be SO much more fun (I don't know if it's possible) if there was no creeping: level 1 heroes with a small army against another level 1 hero and a small army. The obvious problem is the balancing of the heroes...I think creeping slows the game down + I don't want to be fighting an AI, but the actual opponent, but oh well. -__-

This is the third thread in which you have misread my post. -_-;;; I was talking about WC3, see::

As you can see I mentioned DotA at the beginning, and THEN, I started talking about WC3 for the rest of the post

O rly...even I wasn't 100% clear, then instead of jumping to conclusions and posting, maybe you could have perhaps, thought about it? Maybe if you gave it a minute, you'd figure it out...

WC3 melee is incredibly boring, but DotA I think you should try again. It's a lot of fun once you get to know some things. Once you learn most of the items, and learn a few heroes, it's pretty fun.

I downloaded a rip, and I didnt even bother with the campaigns or online play. I went straight to single-player RPGs, of which there were only a few good ones. I really like the customization on hero creation; I hope they at least include something like that in SC2 for the mapmaking community.

WC3 is an ok game, but I get so mad when I lose because it's always either Night Elves or getting tower rushed. DotA has to be the worst custom game ever and so many people play it. I get bored of it with 1 game. I do like the Warcraft story though and the single player campaigns are fun.

Not really ... HU allows for the easiest FE; just grab 5 Peasants, 3 Footmen, and an Archmage with WE and just creep your nearest empty gold mine; then build a Town Hall with 5 guys and turtle with your army until you get like 30,000 Towers in there and then go Rifle+Caster or something and pwn everything -__-

WC3 and DotA are the kind of games that usually have to grow on you (unlike SC which sucks you in from the start). In general most people I know that enjoy those games including myself start out thinking "holy shit this game sucks ass" to "meh...this game's boring" to "ehhh...I can tolerate this" until finally

No, Orc is the weakest race...

No wait, I think it's NE

No must be HU

Ah, got it, it's actually Undead!

-__-;;;to be honest this kind of talk is irrelevant at our level. Similarly to SC progaming->toss, WC3 progaming->Orc. Orc has been seen as the weakest race at the higher levels for quite some time, and there are not that many good orc players aside from Lyn and grubby. Undead is like mastered by the koreans: zacard, sweet, FoV, etc...

Heroes come out early and so if you FE without any units they are just gonna come cancel it and you can't stop it. Plus unless you're NE you can't clear the mine without units

Zacard plays Orc and Orc isn't the weakest race since Grubby and Lyn have been doing well. And like I said, Undead is the weakest at the moment. Players such as GoStop and Lucifer hasn't been doing well lately. And Koreans aren't that dominant in WC3 like in SC.

hmm, i think it's a general consensus that since Orc isn't very well represented in the higher leagues, with the exception of the few players mentioned, it is considered the weakest

but again, what you're saying is that the weakest is really relative right? depends on how well people are doing at the time heh

Undead and Orc have never been weak, theyre just least played. In a game with four races its hard to have perfect balance but at the moment it's pretty good.
