Again: 13:00 is 7am for me. I will be hungover and grumpy too. Lets just use our collective rage and suicide into Lightweight then leave and go back to sleep.
Edit: We could move it to 14:00 -- I dunno 8:00 seems much better to me haha.
Alright, 14:00 it is then. And yes, 8:00 is exponentially better than 7:00.
You say that like it's the first time I beat Darkness Last season I accidentally left a game (with you) which was not rehosted, missed one, and lost one vs Wreck.
Duck has been a troll from the beginning on pretty much everything - He won't be missed.
Sorry to see Ugri go - again. If I had more time or any motivation, I would've gladly help the admin team again. But sadly I can not. Anyways, best of luck to you all in everything you do
QFT. Duck has been using his "troll" excuse way too often, especially after being clearly out of line. Just an unmannered soloer with ego issues in my opinion.
It's a very complex topic - DR is often perceived to be overpowered in OvU. Whenever I played UD though, I was much more afraid of BM, since I couldn't simply dispell his strength away. Higher skill at the least takes away some of the commonly perceived imbalances which, in my opinion, are not imbalances at all.
Re: top elf and Ud combos, I'd say they are in the 6-7 range, but assuming everyone is equal skill level (e.g. maga-skilled orc vs maga-skilled ud), I'd go for the lower number. I think with higher skill the imbalance becomes clearer.
I think the opposite is true for FFA - long time ago I wrote somewhat of an essay of why I would always prefer BM over DR. The gist was - with DR you give the ball to your opponent. If he's good enough, he will dispell quickly, and your hero becomes basically useless (charm aside). With BM, this is not the case. You may try to negate him with sleep or snares, but this is where the orc player gets the ball back and may dispell himself.
I strongly believe higher skill is the main diminishing effect regarding imbalance. In solo, imbalance still matters on the highest levels, but this is due to the fact that solo pros really play close to the perfect game (control, macro, timing). That's something almost unachievable in FFA, there's always a lot of mistakes to capitalize on.
An orc army, for example, is very often perceived to be ridiculously imbalanced because people don't dispell properly (not saying it's easy). It is much less scary unbuffed/dispelled. Another example: a terrible UD stands no chance vs a terrible night elf in gargs vs chippo. A good UD will know how to hit and run and may very well beat an equally skilled elf.
Edit: In my opinion, the underlying problem is perceived imbalance vs imbalance.
