Any Warcraft 3 players here? Post usernames inside...

I'm a human player, and you're right on about them sucking. If you're going to be good with humans, you need to be a micro master. Nothing the humans have is good on its own, it's just the sum of all the parts. You can't have a footman, hero, rifleman army or you'll get slaughtered. You need some knights, sorcs, priests, steam tanks, etc and they have to all be teched up. I usually don't have the patience or skill to get that good.

I have a lot of respect for those that are good with humans. I just can't win anything with them on a straight 1vs1 fight, but 4vs4, humans are great for running in with a second small rush right after your other three guys rush. If you can catch your opponents offguard with some riflemen and some polymorph, humans rule.

Mass steam tanks is also the 4vs4 strat of choice. 12 steam tanks can usually take out 2 whole towns in a minute or two if your buddies keep the opponent busy while you do it.

I totally agree with you on the blight. It is a huge handicap when you try to expand and have to wait until the mine finishes. Every other race doesn't have that to deal with, and every other building (except the Necropolis) depending on it, plus it takes forever to summon a gold mine.

Does anyone use humans? Seems like no one likes to use them.

Speaking of unbalanced: Starfall. Holy mother of too powerful. Sure it's an Ultimate spell, but the power of it is absured. All you have to do is charge a base with a full army (12 units) and drop starfall. Sit back and watch as every unit in that area gets oblitarited with buildings getting taken down to near half health.

Oh, and seige weapons are almost a necessity for taking down bases (especially NE bases). Just 2 is a big help, otherwise it takes freaking forever to take down a building. You ever hire those kamikazi guys? The ones strapped with dynamite. It says they are really good for hitting buildings, but when I tried to use them they didn't blow up. They just stood there and got killed.

Yeah, Starfall is powerful, but the three normal powers the Priestess has are all pretty crappy, offense-wise. She's got the owl for scouting which rules, but the other two powers just buff up attack a little bit. Starfall's awesome power makes the hero worth it.

A week ago I saw one guy on USWest on the ladder rankings that was number 20 or so with humans. I couldn't believe it. The rest of the top slots are all undead and night elves. I can't wait for the day that the humans rule the ladder, as they rightfully should.

Won another one, but the other guys teamate dumped early. Although I was on top of the leader board, I didn't play as well as I should have.

Damn it, someone bailed on me mid game...it's a bitch managing 2 races. Anyone her want to teear down the ranks with me, let me know. ArThore on the East server, on AIM I'm Scudnick2. I should be back on around midnight (Eastern time).

This game is a cruel mistress! I still suck at it. I have a pretty good win/loss percentage, but when I get beat, I am fucking slapped, stabbed,, shot and stomped into the ground. Except for the one I played with Stibbons, we just got out played in that one.

I can't manage an army well enough, and I'm too damn slow. Some bastard NE player tried trapping me in my base with Protectors. He had like six of them! Punk

I was browsing through the ladder and it's just amazing the number of games some of these people have played.

Precisely the reason why I only play team games with people I know.

YES!!! Just got B.net to work. My name is TaekwondoNJ on the east and west servers, and I'll probably be on east most if not all the time.
