Grubby is scoring 11k viewers now. I think that's more than he's ever had, including during his SC2 days. That's crazy nice.
All hail WC3!

Wyrms are ultra late game units that pretty much are unstoppable vs Orc. They pretty much shit on everything with Destroyer/Necro/Banshee support.

I'm sorry, that part about the BM is just wrong. I genuinely believe the BM is too strong. Hell, get him a Lightning Orb (or whatever it's called) and he can cut a Frost Wyrm down no problem. He does need a nerf. He just kills some units or even heroes way too fast with a little luck and the right items.
Not discussing the rest (although I've rarely seen an Orc go Shaman against UD).

He's certainly very annoying, but very beatable. People who complain about BM now don't even remember that on TM/Turtle Island that certain drops were basically just autoloss vs a BM. He'd roll in with mass claws of attack and just 2 shot everything, or have an early lightning wand and just windwalk in and wreck your economy.
And seriously, he's only slightly too strong vs UD, that's about it (and they still have ways to deal with him). HU/NE don't have any issues vs Orc players at all, and those match-ups really come down to skill (and in some ways heavily favor the HU/NE since at tier 2 the Orc player has to execute alot cleaner then the other two races).
If you're losing a Frost Wyrm late game vs a BM you're doing something very fucking wrong.

I personally don't play Undead, I play Human.
Anyway, yes, other races don't have that much trouble dealing with the BM. He's still strong though. The DH is also strong, just in a different way and honestly... not as much.
I personally think the BM is largely fine; Blizzard just needs to nerf his crit somehow. Being able to autoattack for 250 is not right, no matter how you put it.

Man, I've been randoming for fun but I'm like 0-5 since 1.27. Need to just stick with either O or UD since it looks like some good players are coming back.

If you're playing on w3arena, don't be too harsh on yourself. The level there is much higher than that of BNet. There are only about 300 players on at a time, at most, and half of them are not playing in the ladder. It's a small player pool.

Being able to mass teleport at will with Siege Tanks on top of a Divine Shielded Paladin is not right either. That just means you shouldn't let a Human player get to late game with a level 6 Archmage and a stockpile of gold. If you let that happen, you got way outplayed.
If you're playing against a BM and you let him start critting that hard, it just means you let him seize total control of the map early. This isn't SC2 where imbalances exist to the point where player skill is trivial. Player skill will pretty much always trump unit/map advantages in WC3 except at the VERY highest level (and we're talking about like Sky/Infi/ToD/Grubby/Lucifer levels here, as in the best of the best).

Ehhhh. Last year's WCA was a total mess, not impressed.
I don't think I'll be watching this time around.

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to War3 but I'd love to help. I'll try the dumpster diving strategy and see what I can come up with.

Yeah this has been my go to. Treating Frost Wyrms like Carriers where they're pretty scary but I figure if I let him get to that point I'm not playing well. And yeah, the orc melee build is SUPER fun. That's been my go-to this whole time.
Any tips on how to beat UD as NE or Human? I want to prove it's really not UD or BM that is OP...

WCA is a mess... but there's like only a few LANs a year for WC3,beggars can't be choosers I guess?
I think 80% of the prizemoney for war3 last year came from WCA and WCA qualifiers.

installing again lol. good old times.
hope i'm as good as i was relatively fast - even though that wasnt enough to play competitively

I might download the latest patch. It's been a long, long time since I've played! Probably the most nostalgic RTS for me even over BW

Guys I played few games yesterday and in 2 of them I got lag for a sec and instant screen (you have been disconnected) then i just go in battle net and not get kicked out. I play dota on regular basis and never had issues with my internet is this some issue with packet loss or some new drophack I dont know about :S (keep in mind both games i crushed the opponent)?

As NE: I have waaay more trouble with Wardens who just go and harass my DK over and over compared to DH mana burning me over and over. I can still creep through DH harass (though immolation makes it hard), I can't creep through Warden harass. Get a little bit of T1 and make sure that he can't leave the close parts of his base. Then tech to what you're comfortable with, 3 building mix, mass dryads, or bear/dryad. Garg harass can be annoying but you can shut it down with a couple of archers/dryads and an AP. Think about it in your base build for the game; what if I get harassed? Where will my units and tower be to protect my gold mine?
As HU: Incredibly map specific. If you can get your FE up quickly then a midgame T2 push with casters and rifles is really strong...however if he can creep to 3-3 then you're going to lose units quickly to coil/nova harass. If you get your FE up and get a bunch of towers then you can put real pressure on him with tanks as it's so hard to deal with them. However, you'll usually have to go three base and air to finish the game. If you don't FE, well, you better hit him soon with towers because his army will just outclass your army when he gets to T3.
The key is to pick a style and don't let up with it. If you aren't pushing the UD midgame, then you better have a plan to stop him. Also you really need to keep your second hero up in levels because it can get out of hand in a hurry. A level 1-2 MK dies quickly to coil/nova. But a level 3-4 MK with one or two good items (mana/health or an invul pot) is a wrecking ball to UD.

I mean, they're super super slow... but at the end of the day they're still the only real big event for WC3 nowadays... if the players arent boycotting it, I'm not going to bother boycotting it.
