Hi reader,

Oh my gosh, I lost 100 rank today. I'm training. VERY scared to play a ranked match now... I need people to tell me what to do in situations... I've never faced such pros in my life.

So, I need help on:
Enemy Turtlers
Upgrading Tech
Miners (Mainly getting a Magikill out)
Beating Giant Massers (They have Speartons, Allbowtross, Magikills, and Merics at their side) and they have a good starting army.
Attacking Chaos
Beating the Crawler + Bomber strategy

Everyone can help if you know something, even people at 1400's!

I had moments where I can't win a single match. And moments where I win almost every match. You might need to change your strategy a little bit. But shouldn't this be on order strategy?No?

Turtlers are weak to tower spawn + ranged units. You'll have control of the middle. So your economy would be better.

For the upgrades, Do what fits you in the battle. The most important for me is "miner hustle" But it depends on which your opponent uses and what you use.

Make lots of miners early game to have a good economy. But also focus on your army. Try to have more miners than the opponent. And have about 2-4 on mana while 9 on gold

Don't let them giant mass. Attack them when they have the chance. Use magikill and some shadowwraths and also swords with rage will work(either one of the three)But you can use magikill and anyone of them.

I'm not really good facing chaos soo....

If he has speartons, Albas, merics, mages, that's a normal army, with heavily supported by giants

good luck getting a well-balanced army with pop 3-7 units. :P

when i say that i mean NOT ENOUGH POPULATION. there's not enough room to support a fair economy and a strong army with most of the units costing 3-4 population.

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday, although I blame that on sleep-deprivation after looking at the replays afterwards this morning :)

You deleted it from your sig, but I think it used to be there:
"Every time you lose a match, stop and think: what did I do wrong? what could I have done better?"

...And you see what you did wrong, right? You started sword + miner, which REQUIRES rage, but you didn't get it. Then, you changed your mind and tried to mutate into sword + archer start, which REQUIRES early offensive, which you have now lost the opportunity to do.

Inaccuracies like that get punished heavily.

Crawl bomb strat : miner wall if u hadn't noticed
Enemy turtles: tower spawn with archers and spears ( or if u prefer albowtross)
Miners: tower spawn with archers
Giant spammers:( if they have that army u that won't be called spam
Upgrading tex: u don't need to upgrade anything unless: miner hustle, tower spawn and your units upgrades

Oh yeah, I was sad too when I lost 30 ranks. man I was sad...

Oh ya, I was sad when I dropped from the high 1500 to the low 1300. But now I'm 1700. It happens man, learn from your mistakes.

Pfft, there was a moment where I was 1700, and dropped to 1400, because of giant massers & lagout. Now imagine.

Ok, is it normal to loose against a 1300 and win against a 2100? That was irritating...

Against Chaos? Sword + Archer usually works for me, then giant mass late.

No, no.. it's a strategy to get a Miner first to be ahead on economy just a little.

.:Invincitron:.

For the crawlers and bomb strategy, send out a distraction Swordwrath (leave him, don't monitor him). This will give you time to build a huge army of miners and hopefully have a good economy.

When your Swordwrath dies, at least you could have a good start. The rest is up to you.

Extra: Maybe by that time, you can afford a Spearton to attack or buy a wall and castle archer.
