Great idea, only about 10 years late. Now I'm almost hyped myself. But I guess it only means the will replace gnoll wood and LT with some of the newer maps everyone knows anyway. | ||

Oh hey also, question, my buddy thinks that UD is overpowered because fiends are good against most things and frost wyrms and them share upgrades. When I beat him when he's undead and I'm Orc he says it's because blade master is also OP since he has WW which "forces detection". (I think that's bullshit, it shouldn't alter your strategy too much). So now I want to beat him as night elf and human. Any good tips, alternatively what do you guys think of the "Orc only beats fiend/garg/frostwyrm because blademaster OP" argument? (Usually I beat him with a mostly melee focused army with a few berserkers to up the damage, and raiders if he starts to get air). | ||

I don't know what lvl of play you are on, but on a relativly low level almost everything can look overpowered in the hands of a better player. In that regard WC3 isn't much different from Broodwar or SC2. I would just go through the results of recent small and big tournaments and show your friend how well UDs have fared. I he thinks they are OP, they must have won most but it's rather to the contrary (almost no UDs to begin with and if there are any, most drop out early with very few exceptions to the rule) | ||

The controls felt weird and the spells of the heroes threw me off "anti-mage doesn't have blink as a skill?...and he's not called anti-mage?" ha ha Yeah, I still have a unnatural hate for the demon hunter so that I still almost never play antimage. Also in wc3 dota, I basically never even tried to target a spell at enchantress. | ||

Nah kidding, their biggest blunder was the lack of orc T3 but that stupid hero was boring as hell to face. | ||

I he thinks they are OP, they must have won most but it's rather to the contrary (almost no UDs to begin with and if there are any, most drop out early with very few exceptions to the rule) UD is not OP. Sure, some things might seem brutal, but the army is only as strong as its heroes and no other army relies on heroes so much as UD. Fiends are only good if you have DK to support them (coil for healing and aura to make their movement speed anything better than a crawl). Also, why does your friend even make wyrms? Against OR you want fiend/destro combo (you want it against pretty much anything, UD has the fewest viable army compositions of them all), perhaps with a sprinkle of banshees if you feel bold enough. Fiends are your bread and butter, destros support your army as statues and after t3 upgrade deal magic damage (OR weakness) and can consume spells to deal bonus dmg and have small AoE (and orcs like their spirit links, which destros counter ultra hard). And gargs are super weak vs orcs - piercing = shittiest damage type vs orc, bunched up with few hp means one batrider can counter 20 gargs... BM is bullshit hero. Way too strong but I wouldn't exaggerate with requiring detection (thankfully for UD, shades are cheap and very useful overall) since as soon as he reveals one coil/nova combo should drop his hp low enough for him to not be a factor - unless he stacks on pots, which is also good since it's economy going towards hero potions and not tech/army. | ||

If you have experience and knowledge of the history of War3, knowledgeable of the game's mechanics, or if you're like me and are just willing to dumpster dive on old Gosugamers/TL threads for the community, I want to encourage you to say something here: https://www.reddit.com/r/WC3/comments/4ataej/wc3_liquipedia_recruitment_thread/ so we can show Liquipedia staff there's a group of motivated people willing to work to put it all together. They can't just bend over backwards for us, we need to show that there's interest in developing and maintaining it. | ||

There were WC3's share of.. uneventful years so I don't see it as this overwhelming feat where we have 14 years of thousands of tournaments. | ||
