Q&A with Woof Factory, the great maker of woofs (loosely translated): Q: "How are woofs best used?" A: "To scare cats, birds, smaller dogs and delivery people"
Rat: Do you think we should have harder counter against wraith? Currently it seems like many of the mechs that should counter wraith can be teched in a way these counters struggle. For example overlord should counter it but if wraith is ahead either in levels or tech (or worse: both) then overlord doesn't really deliver. And the other unites that should counter wraiths have glaring weaknesses (such as phoenixes - if wraith user has forretress with anti air barrage it might not be able to reach wraiths). Or would nerfing wraith further eventually fix the issue?
Great video btw, i think i have learned a lot about positioning and decision making in your past few videos like these where there are 1 or 2 matches with some live commentary where you explain your thought process and answer twitch chat questions.
I think the wraith might have a little bit too much HP. Getting a lucky early level or some health item early on reduces the counters a lot. I still lose a lot with the wraith but it's so strong I try to force build it to boards against which it isn't good. But if you are disciplined with it, it's just so strong. And there's a lot of situations where this applies. It's not a niche unit at all
Im trying to climb up to 1300 mmr now and your videos are very helpful. Could you please advise, why do you choose repear for wraith, but not the armor against mustangs? I feel like it would my choice
you mean why i have field maintenance over armor equipped or? the armor is only against mustangs, field maintenance workd very well against underleveled phoenix, marksmen and it wins the wraith mirror matchup. And most of the time with the wraith unit drops the field maintenance is enough to block mustangs. So armor has only 1 use case in the game while field maintenance have multiple
Genuine question though, what do you believe makes oil so bad for the game? I don’t disagree, in fact as an agro player I’m pretty inclined to agree, but I’d like to hear your thoughts on that matter.
I recall him mentioning somewhere along the line that oil used to be OK before the unit drop patch because there counterplaying was possible. Since the unit drop was introduced, however, the game became shorter and very decisive in much fewer turns, so an oil turn could decide the game right there.
I think because it's always available and so strong it makes many later rounds too random. For example if there's 2 good spells for the enemy to choose from or 2 completely different good free units to choose from and on top of that you have the oil. There's so many good plays the opponent (or you) can make it just becomes random because you cannot play around all of them. You have to randomly counter one out of 3 good plays the opponent can make because you dont have resources to cover all angles. So it's not about "predicting" it just becomes random. And this happens on a later round where you take 3k damage when you lose the round and instantly the game is over.
That makes complete sense, you really can’t predict when it comes down at a point. And there’s nothing you can do about it either way. Thanks for elaborating
REPORT THAT OIL USER
Double attack tech on wraith still pretty good

@@SurreyEZ What do you think about replacing Oil with Redeployment?
