Overview![IPB Image](https://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/post-50947-1449912961.png)
A highly entertaining and skillful game where one of the most controversial matchup is clearly presented at its peak with both players unfolding their best performance with unique strategies and jaw-dropping hero clashes.While motw player chose to be conservative throughout the game with safe options but well presented strategies, the Isen player chose a risky "cavalryless" start managing to almost survive till late game and giving in to his opponent suppressiveness.
A mere example of mainly how to counter Isengard's prowess as Motw in equal host terms (neutral).

Pro's
- Wise early SoG spam knowing your opponent had a 4 farm start instead of aiming for creeps ,consequently pushing efficiently and dmging enough his eco.
- Lovely mix of pikes and archers compined with the passives of Boro's , Fara's and Theoden's support unlike the casual boro-ara combo that we are very used of.
- Proper stances at most cases plz Ara on defensive when crippled
- Great performance and control of the map throughout the game.
Suggestions
Ecthelion
Pro's- Excellent hero micro (surprisingly) at most cases.
- Proper stances likewise.
- Smart early ups on wargs for easier and more efficient eco dmg of high lvl enemy farms.
Suggestions- Avoid 2 urukpit start vs motw experienced players,specially not being onhost.Your skill was mainly what helped you last that long.
- Lurzt would be a wiser anti-Boro choice as first hero instead of Sharku,knowing your opponent doesnt have any cav around.
- Avoid casting Watcher every time before he has at least casted his equivalent 15th power (Rangers or Roh for example).
- Avoid upgrading xbows with heavy armor at this point of the game.Rohs one hit them while you didnt support well enough with pikes..
- Dont forget Rohs bows to finish off almost dead mounted heroes who are escaping like Sharku.They have these arrows for a reason.
- Be more careful while saving lvl 2 or higher units.Specially upgraded ones like your wargs
- Absolutely sad use of first DS summon. Dunno what you had in mind but it was even casted quite far from where you used devastation on his units.That seemed as a huge waste and quite decisive I would say for the result of the game.
- Cast Sarumans Dominate on his OathBreakers
Verdict:
Fun 9/10
Skill 8.5/10
Unique strategy total 7.5/10
Total score 25/30 or 83%
It should be noted that a score of 20 and above denotes a highly watch-able game. Where skill and fun is sometimes lacking, a high uniqueness score can add to the overall total instead, and bring it above 20.
