I'm a little confused. Does your evaluation of hero combos account for synergies with typical armies?

Besides that, I'd pretty much agree with your ratings, but I'd rate Lost's elf combo and DK Lich DL at least 7. (And perhaps a few other elf combos)

I'm glad I was far away from arguing with a child.

No humor as in you don't get sarcasm? Why would you even think I was being serious with that statement? :)

Sarcasm, due to Ebo's misguided response.

APM is known for having a strong negative correlation to one's IQ.

nevermind, proving a point in favor of maga and, more importantly, against ebo is always worth a shot. success rate for the latter is only high if you have some hours to spare though, hence you failed.

My availability during weekends is really lousy compared to weekdays. Best day is usually sunday, but not too early on. Something like 15:00 would work but doesn't seem to fit the other guys.

I'll have to talk to my dad tonight to ensure I'm not away the entire next weekend first, though (I'd do that regardless of the FML game fyi).

I'd rather play Sunday evening, I can't guarantee I'll be there Sunday morning (going out on Sat night).

not gonna work. Could you just post a schedule which you can stick to, instead of changing stuff whenever we come up with a time...

Honestly, 11am on a sunday is a really fucked up time. Can't believe it was even proposed. What about sunday evening?

Oh and in contrast to you, I did at least post a schedule at all.

Dase you're basically Maga who plays orc, except that gets you even more teamed because orc is OP. I'm sure you're totally on his side. Show me a replay where Maga wins vs 3 good players please. I know of one such replay, market vs darkness johny murrock and he won thanks to early 3way/darkness taking up heat/suicide + stay quiet like I mentioned in my tips.

Here is my litmus test for figuring out if a player has good macro or not:
If I clone myself and put that player in a game with 3 of me, does he have an equal chance (25%)? That's not the case with maga. 3 of me would be smart enough to team him when he does he cookie cutter shit yet again. On the other hand someone like l77 would have 25%, because he'd be smart enough about playing the right way to keep an illusion of balance, and strike out at the right point in time.


And once again, you're applying SC 1v1's definition of macro to WC3 FFA. I apply WC3 FFA's definition of macro to WC3 FFA. But that's semantics. Really, who cares?


And lastly, you bring up my own skill. Are we discussing my skill here? Where/when did I claim that I'm good or better than player X? Or are you saying that me being low skill doesn't allow me to criticize others? Oh so fat b-ball coaches can't say shit to actual players because they don't play b-ball as well? OK son.

Watch more games of Maga. I've played him many times (also back in the old days on ladder) and he's probably the best UD in FFA I've ever seen (only surpassed by Yane in micro, but not as a player).

Your litmus test is, to put it lightly, flawed. I'll let you figure out why.

B-Ball coaches actually know something about the game that is of value to the players coached by them. Also, it's a team sport, which makes the comparison much worse. But more importantly, I never brought up your skill to say you shouldn't be allowed to talk about other players. Just stop being so disrespectful.

After all, why I pointed out the differences between macro and decision making seems to be the issue here. I think using your simplification of macro (based on the encyclopedia of FFA? what? where did you get that "definition" from?) you misjudge what people consider to be individual playing styles. You want to win by tactics and "chess moves", that's fine, we don't hate for you that, but never think we don't know about it and don't keep it in mind.

Over and out.

So you apply your arbitrary definition of macro to the few games you've seen of maga after showing up from your hiatus and call him "bad"?

Macro in the general sense is everything dealing with your economy. This includes some aspects of decision-making of course, such as when to go 80, what to spend your money on. Maga is very, very good at that.

Maybe you wanna stop calling players way ahead of you in skill "bad" and blame their "huge ass ego" for not listening to YOU? Sorry for the language, but in reality its you who should really get his head out of his ass.
