You're allowed not to like war3 because you think it's boring, the pacing is very different from sc and it certainly doesn't appeal to everyone. But when you make up bullshit reasons for not liking it instead of just accepting that it's not for you, it makes you look stupid

Warcraft III wasn't always like this. Orc mirror has always been the worst to watch of all the matchups, and even then it still used to be enjoyable to watch.. (FS / FL, Wyverns, etc.). Blizzard did this to the game through 4 years of shit patches, the BW community is lucky that Blizzard doesn't butcher it every 2 years with unneeded changes.

im done trying to deffend wc3. o-well.


You're acting dumb, most people are arguing it's boring as hell to watch, not that microing is difficult. You're defending something that can't be defended, War3 IS boring to watch now and the game has been dead a very long time.

Oh my god, Orc mirror is like a combination of TvT turtling and ZvZ lack of economy. Not to mention ~25 damage a hit and 700hp = oh my god.

u dont know shit. in wc3 u do ur best to get ur units to match damage - armor type for ovo it would be
Grunts focus raiders
Raiders Focus walkers
Walkers focus Grunts.
Then u got to manage how u want to use your blademaster and use ur healwaves + heal scrolls. making sure ur hero doesnt get in bad posistion or certain units like kodos cause they will get owned quite fast.
Also moving damaged units back and back into fight to avoid certain focus fire. same goes for heroes. even seeing that before it happens is some of the micro. wc3 micro is very complicated

This doesn't change the fact that you turtle a lot and don't expand and have 700hp units and 25 damage attacks. I know you're supposed to do that, how does that make it interesting? And how's that complicated, anyway? Moving damaged units back and focus firing and using skills is extremely basic, especially if you have no macro to worry about.

This doesn't change the watchability, though. And that really isn't as complicated as you make it out to be.

Its very hard to execute properly and on top of that its isnt as simple as taking ur grunts and right clicking raiders. if u just right cilcked ur grunts could be blocked for atleast 12+ seconds till they get to the raiders. but with individual micro it could be 3-4 seconds. or less and u have to do this with ur whole army.
and u never turtle in wc3. ever unless ur human idk where u get this idea from.

I guess we're misunderstanding "turtling", then. I guess the right term is avoiding engagement. Why would you make every seperate grunt attack a seperate rider, why not attempt to surround and focus it down? And where'd you get those seconds from, it makes no sense. Or does your unit speed go up to 4x if you control your unit individually instead of in a group? -_- Also, your whole army of? 2 control groups of 2 heroes and ~8 units each? Wow, that sounds difficult.

TT Grubby losing??

Ahh okay, the reason for it is that they want to encourage the really really good map designers to keep making maps for SC2 instead of going over to other services like steam which apparently offers money to the most popular maps in their games.

some basics of wc3:
you have to pay for your foodcount, that means if you go above 50 population you only gain 70% percent gold, if you go above 75 you only gain 30 % gold income. that means, having big armys is bad for your economy. this means you have to plan when you attack and as short as possible you can before you mass. so training units is just to reach and stay at 50 foodcount.
next thing is the hero and the experience. everyunit that dies gives exp to a close hero of the killing fraction. that doubles the effect in a fight, since you get stronger and other loses units. also the hero is much stronger then other units, he gets even more power in the way of the game by killing creeps, the neutral units, or units of the opponent. the hero can get to level 10, what will hardly ever happen in a progamer match, but a big boost is level 6 where he gets a special ability that is even stronger than his normal spells.
what does that mean ? you dont wanna loose units to feed enemy making him bigger, and want to kill units to grow. so you send wounded units in fights back home or just micro them away out of focus to not die and try to heal them. also you kill neutrals to gain exp because they dont run away like ur opponent would, and you dodge the danger of feeding the other player aswell by losing units yourself to him.
another point is nearly every unit has a ability you have to time and autocasting would be waste, if its not healing, so you have to cast alot and have a mass of timings in you head.

nevertheless starcraft is by far more entertaining
