    A (very expensive)trick with archmage (and other summoner heroes) is to retrain mid-combat. Archmage level 5 can cast 2 rank 3 water elementals, wait for the 20 second cooldown and then respec to rank 3 blizzard. You have a large power spike for the first 20 seconds where you have 2x rank 3 spells.

    Secondly, You're so smart and quick on your feet when you're talking about things like when you do the bronze league heroes videos and you come up with the funniest jokes on the spot about every single thing.I literally pee my pants every time. 😂
    Lastly I think more of these videos where people can learn and apply real time strategies and maneuvers that they never thought about would be super useful and encourage them to play the game more. Basically keep wc3 alive. Well I think you've already been doing that anyways but i'm sure you get my point. Anyways, from one wc3 is my favorite game of all time to a fellow wc3 is my favorite game of all time person lol I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do. (Sorry for the long message) love.

    For meme NE choice, Warden is such a fun hero, and always felt like she needed a meta 2nd hero companion strat. I'm surprised there's not more tricky Warden strats in any level of play.
