OverviewA 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).
AoW|LuXusPro'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 EcthelionPro'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.
