damnit i hate when i don't refresh my tabs and this happens

Each element of the game (picking, move order, possible outcomes, options, etc) is far less predictable and thus controllable in 3vs3 than in 1vs1.

It took me less than 500 1vs1 games to get above average in 1vs1 games.
With over 700 team games I still play like shit in team games.

Team games are harder to learn than 1vs1, but 1vs1 is far more competitive field to play.

Don't say that with proper teammates you can win above 90% of 3vs3 games, or held 1st spot of 3vs3 ladder for ages, that's easy if you have little competition.

1v1 ME players are welcome to join

Piggy, you might just be bad at non-1v1 games. I learn more from FFA's than I do in 1v1's. Keeping track of multiple players is more difficult. I consider myself more of a versatile player than anything else. To be able to handle yourself in any situation, you really need to play a bit of everything.

1v1's are great, but eventually there isn't much more to learn and it just comes down to luck. The fate of a large number of my 1v1's come down to OP/OD cards being played by both players at the same crucial time. I've lost games I should have won, and won games I should have lost. There is an element of luck in all games, but much more room to learn in games with more players.

I think that learning curve is more relative to how people play than what they play. I go through the history in any game that I lose, whereas most players shrug it off move onto the next. If you want to get better, just work at it and question what your opponents did differently than you which enabled them to win. There is no point in being good if the only reason you are good is from habitually playing the same thing over and over. You should want to be able to handle yourself in any gametype/map.

"Piggy, you might just be bad at non-1v1 games." I'm not.
"eventually there isn't much more to learn" Lets be honest...neither of us has reached that point.

I agree with that last paragraph, and I think 1v1 lends itself to learning much better ( as well as being more fun).

I cant believe noone agrees with me, oh well, I guess Im wrong.

why does it matter what the master race is?
Why does it matter how you can be the best?
Why does it matter what settings you play?
Just cause you are all smart, know how to form long drawn out arguments, doesn't mean you have to get so far away from the point of warlight. Not as a competitive sport, but as a game. If you want to compete, all the power to you, if you want to be the best, all the power to you. However stop generalizing and most of all PUTTING DOWN everyone who doesn't think and see it how you see it, whether they post or not.
I'm sorry but you are all taking this just a little to seriously. There are to many Ego's people cant post without bringing in there ego's and epeens and showing off the winrates or ladder stats. Though it is nice when there are threads dedicated to these things, so it has a hope of not spilling out into every facet of the forum.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you are saying/showing where the real competitive play is. I just found it very egotistical and rather rude to everyone who doesn't play warlight for the thrill of a 2 day plan coming to fruition, but rather play it for that lulz when you make a mistake causing a FFA to descend into chaos. or the 2v2v2, 17 FFA or 8V2V4. Point is warlight has all these crazy settings that can be abused. but people seem to forget that and keep trying to make the next strategic 1v1 Map or the new most prestigious league.

Interesting thread. I can see both sides. I'm a much better team player than an individual one. Why? Because i spend a lot of time discussing overall strategy with my team, play unselfishly and recognise the importance of position. Thats a skill in itself.

I get beaten 1v1 by players who spend more time considering picks & expansion/countering strategy than i do. Thats also a skill. 2v2 is a balance between the two.


I know a lot of very good 1v1 players who i struggle in a team with, namely because they are focused on their on growth and not the health of the team or disrupting the opponent.


I suppose it boils down to what you want to achieve from the game. Personally, i enjoy sharing a victory rather than an individual one, but thats just me!

Trollussa came back :')

Yeah when piggy gets emotional he reveals all his alts or accounts he somehow has access too

Its not a secret I have trollussa account, it says so on the profile m.yhand. I was using it to play three v three enc and got looking at the old games. What is the virtue of keeping any alt secret?

I'm sure Qi would be able to answer that.

^+1

its just a game, piggy. calm your balls.

I prefer 3 vs 3 games where it is 1 vs 1 in the start, and then develops to a team game.
Only played a few games like that, because it happens only accidentally, but these games i enjoy the most to play, because it brings the tactics of a 1 vs 1 and a 3vs3 together.

i agree with dutch. the 3v3s that have isolated 1 on 1s are cool.
