further question: if you have two halls, and one is surrounded like in your experiment, and you double-click the tp, does it tp you to the "accessible" hall? or does it fail attempting to tp to the real hall (still tping any air though)?
rofl renaud you are a mad scientist! very nice find. could potentially be used in very high gold games where you for some reason would like to tp your air only without using tp :P
So I see everyone talk about suicide and there seems to be a lot of debate on what's actually considered suiciding and what's not. So this thread aims to define the term more precisely and clear up some of the confusion.
My interpretation as a noob is that suicide means engaging in a solo with someone despite the fact that it's costly for the attacker. Further and depends on the context of whats happening on the rest of the map.
Examples: player X engages player Y for 15 minutes while the other two players hoard. Suicide.
player X engages player Y for 15 minutes while the other two players are also fighting. Not suicide.
Player X engages player Y and kills player Y off, while player X loses a lot himself. In a 4 way this is not suicide, but in a 3 way it is.
Not only does it seem to be based on context, but it's also a scale. The less the fight cost the attacker, the less its considered suicide.
i've seen him in games other people posted where he didnt win. he played really well in those too. and ive obsed and palyed in games with him on garena. i honestly think he had a good chance of making finals. he sure does talk a lot of shit tho...
I like silverpine the best. For some reason I feel most "at home" on that map. twilight and market are too big for my comfort. Even though silverpine is pretty bad for surrounds, i think it makes for fast action games, lots of ppl fighting around middle.
I used to play broodwar when I was very young, then started wc3 at the beginning of ROC. I chose the undead race before I even bought the game, and I've played less than 50 games total from the other races in 9 years. I pretty much only played 2v2 AT with my friend all the way till a year or so into TFT, and we would do funny strats like double tinker rush (we got top 50 on USWEST with it !).
When my friend retired from wc3 around 2005, I joined up with clan SekS, which had a few players from league team xE in it. They showed me what it meant to play wc3 on a higher level, so I got into solo for a while, but was never too great, and I always wanted to try to win with stupid strategies like panda first and mass banshees vs orc lol. My biggest accomplishment from that era was playing the euro tourney incup (before zotac i believe). First round I got matched against creolophus, and I managed to kill his naga seawitch with a fiend shot even after he staffed it xD.
From 2006-2007 I massed games in 3v3 RT, trying to get the dark ranger icon. I did the same strat every single game: immediately told my allies to rush, then got DR first and tower rushed as undead, if we didnt win in the first rush then i would leave and search again. I got over 750 wins playing casually for a year with that strat :D.
I've palyed FFA casually off-and-on since basically the start of TFT. I remember my first strategy was basically to go solo dreadlord and quickly mass up an army consisting of every single unit in the undead arsenal. My idea was that since I have every type of unit, there is no counter to my army
Then in 2009 I decided randomly to try for top 20 on USwest FFA. I started taking the game seriously, and analyzing why I would lose games (who the hell watches FFA replays to see why they lost ?? -- I did). I made a new account so that I could look at the data on my online profile and try to figure out the conditions that I won the most in (interestingly thats how i learned that my win percentage was 20% higher for games where I got 3 heroes rather than 2, and that my win % was higher for longer games). For some reason the strategy I settled into that I was winning most with was panda alchemist mass tower hoard (as undead lol). Then I found some guides and FFAreplays and started to learn a bit more, and getting better hero combos and doing more effective strats). I started going DL first and mass gargs in almost every game. I did manage to get top 20, but right after that sc2 beta came out and I palyed sc2 for a few months before getting bored and returning to wc3 to play solo, playing in some zotacs but only making around round 3 or so.
Took a few months break and that brings us to modern day. Been getting back into FFA and playing some games in masters league vs the big boys, but I have a long ways to go still. After i finish summer school in a few weeks, I can train up hardcore!
My favorite FFA match I played was on twistead meadows. It came down to my building a super towered fortress on the island with medium level ud heroes and 50 food of gargs, while my opponent had mass chippo and high lvl elf heroes. he knew his chances of winning were really low if he attacked into my fortress, so we both sat in game and talked shit for almost 3 hours. Finally i pretended to go AFK and he attacked into me. Crazy shit went down, but in the end he won and i lost... so sad, but a very memorable game !
