      @vesae2676 2 роки тому +8

      Viper lost every fight in the first 20 minutes. Archers don't really counter horse archers. Only at imperial he got the attack speed tech that made them actual counters. I think the real semi-hidden counter or "weakness exploit" were the spearmen who protected the siege from getting rushed by scouts. Lucifron played extremely sloppy this game. In multiple occasions he was tanking the spear dmg for no reason, losing monks and HA. Probably because he is used to be able to just out-zerg the opponent with Rus. Had he microed better he would have won before viper got to imperial. Also the villager losses were unaccepable for this level of players at 24:40.
      But you are also right, just something like 10 man at arms would have turned the game. I think lucifron is just used to winning with only HA that he thought he doesn't need anything else.

    This is exactly the kind of game that underlines Relics strategy of not hotfixing everything that is considered "OP" by some very loud people in the community. Let players figure out counter-strategies instead of this patching everything instantly. The game is still new, not much figured out, strategies and approaches constantly in flux. If something proves to be a problem for an extended time period, of course it needs a patch. But remeber before Genesis, it felt like everybody was whining about french bein OP? And then they got a losing record in that tournament by a lot? Because good players figured out good counters.
