Heavier tree spam. 9 scorpions might be less hp than two spears but it's more than a whole row of archers and they keep coming back unlike a spear.


Early V can really shut down the opponent and secure an early win, but only if the opponent is already losing, because otherwise it will cost too much to bring out.

Yes it can control ghosts.

I never think a whole row of archers have problem to deal with 9 scoprions. consistent kiting of archers can deal with them
Also, in OvE I always think a wall should be put near to central tower to secure the tower control and defend scorpions

In addition, I never think archer should be the main unit in OvE. Albows and ninjas are something you need after 5 mark.

Skele, nigga, scorps can't kite. You can basically just kite-stall till you get your spellcaster/other units and then attack to just kill the three trees

nigga, scorpions have slightly higher speed than archers, and poison can rekt archers
You cannot kite-stall under trees when there is lag. Get a wall

Swords are the things you use to kill the three trees, not the stupid spell.

ay mlao tho that doesn't always apply against good players
so if such a player ruins your plan once in an occasion don't rage about p2w

IMO mass trees isn't effective anyway because CA2+ lols hard at it, and a solid enough base of spear/archer/meric holds all pressure possible. +Trees cost too much pop to trade effectively past early/mid game.

Dealing with trees in OvE isn't the most the most hardest thing to do, but when it lags over the roof then it gets bad. Making your micro and timings more late and sloppy.

Turtling is the best way to go.

Just mass albowtross? I once tried to stall and get lines of albowtross, and snipe down any incoming cycloids, then go for the trees

To stop the scorpions I just got a wall with 1-2 merics and a spearton in shield mode

Why the hell does everyone think me saying 3 trees are spam means 3 trees are OP when they're clearly not?

3 trees aren't spam.

Spamming, in the context of video games, refers to the repeated use of the same item or action

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28gaming%29

Repeated use of 9 scorplings every few mins is spam.

Why the hell does everyone think I'm calling for an ele nerf?

Spam =/= OP

I could spam blind gate if I wanted, that won't make it OP

....all I see is you criticizing a legit strat, which is also not at all reliable, for the record. And considering how ele barely has any legit strats, criticizing them would mean calling for a nerf.
Never mind skele, you are right. I don't really want to get hate in this dark place, so okay. Whatever you say is right :)
P.S-If 9 archers with a few tanks/spellcasters is a legit strat, then why not 9 scorps.
Also, Mystery, what I meant by kite-stall is kiting the scorplings down while building a turtle. If the opponent has his trees behind second row of gold. the you can get miners, if his trees are in front, then you can just attack the trees with your archers once you manage to kite down the scorps

I still wouldn't recommend speartons, they get eaten too quickly just let meric tank(ele can't kill un-armoured units at all) and let sword and archer do the damage.
