I played a game (against those annoying people who offends you when you kill his units but laughts when they kill yours) and he started to make cycloids Spam (along others units like some Fire Elementals), so, do you have any defense against that?
If they are abusing the cycloid tornado glitch (doing two tornadoes instead of one, thus a pack of them can unleash 6-8 tornadoes each cool down), it is very very hard.
There are a few builds I use against ele, you can see one against a super high ranked player here,
