Overview
IPB Image



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
  • Try casting powers like Hobbits and RC faster as soon as their time is fully loaded. There were enough times were you couldve just spied with land at his base in mid-game and dmg his lvl 2-industry farms.
  • Likewise with experience abilities on your units like Faras and Boros.You barely casted it throughout this longass game.
  • Always mount Fara as soon as you realise there are upgraded wargs close and you have no pike support.
  • Avoid picking arrow volley (specially when you do it to cast it on uruk pikes as you did) and rather save 5 more for a much more efficient power at that point of game like CloudBreak.
  • Try getting ivory tower after mid-game,you had both the cash and the space to do so and boost your tactics in a better way.
  • ShieldBubble+Mounted Gandy when at enemy base and being poorly protected.
    Had you at least done that and having also the help of CloudBreak at that moment, he wouldve made it out of there alive.
  • Also get ShieldBubble before casting LightningSword ,hes always more vulnerable due to standing iddle for a few seconds.
    Spoiler
    Therefore he could be saved again.

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.
    Spoiler
    Despite being wiped out by Rohs, it was nice to see them die fulfilling their purprose.
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).
    Spoiler
    had you at least tried to properly defend with what you had and saving this useful power when you trully needed it, the outcome of the game wouldve probably be a lot different.
  • 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
    Spoiler
    was sad noticing most of them dying from mistakes only.
  • 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
    Spoiler
    and save him maybe?

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.

what went wrong on the first DS summon?

that's the consequence of being used to delay. u cast things too early asuming enemy will go there. luxus changed direction, i immediately tried to paralyze his army but it was too far alrady. gg from there biggrin.gif

Quit watching the moment I saw the first walls, you were obviously toying the whole time. Fast-forwarded the rest only to see if it backfired on you. To my gleeful pleasure it did.
And the second DS was sick

Why surprisingly? From what I've seen, Ect has got easily the sharpest micro around, excluding Sauron perhaps
You mean Smart early ups on wargs for easier and more efficient feeding of Lux's rohirs? biggrin.gif In a matchup like this, laming around with op Saruman is the safer and better choice in 9 out of 10 cases

It's not the first time i make walls in a serious game, so it doesn't im trolling. They are always built in the flanks of fords of isen, and yeah, it always backfires me aswell.
But i will continue doing it due panic at flank attacks when im handling stuff on middle.
