Never Rush, Always Creep

[Magi-Viper]

Most ppl i meet say that rushing is always awesome because while thier opponents are "waisting their time" getting upgrades and buildings, they build units and units to kill the other dude.

90% of the ppl who think that way against me live to regret it

Im an undead player and i always get a DK and 5 ghouls fast (defense/cannabalise upgraded), then upgrade to halls ASAP. With my DK and 5 ghouls i go creep my expo. Now, less experienced players are probly saying "That sucks, some of your ghouls die, and the rest will have low HP". Not true. I heal any neardeath ghoul with Death Coil, and i cannabalise right after.

By the time any rushers get to my base with bout 10 units both allies (i play random 2v2), i have bout ten ghouls myself, and 2 heroes, one of which is lvl2 half the time. And i also have a Halls and my ally for backup. The 10% chance that i lose is if my ally didnt get many units.

Now depending on how many units we have left, we will either counter and kill, or i will creep more, get heroes lvl 2 and 3, build temples, and upgrade citadel. If they launch another wave, it get decimated by my superior heroes (rushers don't creep that much) and neer equal number of units. Then i counter and kill.

The moral of this story is - make units like you were gonna rush, by attack creeps instead of players, dont let any of those units die, and leave room in your budget for upgrades and D.

THAT is how you kill rushers

I usually creep, but it all depends on what race they are and what race i am!

Ok, maybe the thread title is a bit biased compared with the question, but i just decided to put the poll at the last minute to c if my point of view is the common point of view, and i would of change title but forgot

you should never rush an ud first anyway

IT DEPENDS

IT ALL DEPENDS ON IF YOU ARE GOOD AT RUSHING, I AM NOT TRYING TO BRAG BUT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY I AM A VERY GOOD RUSHER, ESPECIALLY WITH ORC SINCE I CAN MAKE 4 GRUNTS AND HERO BEFORE SOMEONE CAN GET 6 FOOTMEN AND A HERO(IF U DIDNT KNOW GRUNTS HAVE MORE POWER AND HP), SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY RUSH BUT IF THAT DOESNT WORK OUT THEN ALWAYS CREEP. SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO ATTACK AGAIN RIGHT AWAY WITH JUST TWO UNITS AND A HERO, BUT I DONT THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA, IF U KILLED SOME OF UR ENEMIES THEN ATTACK HIM AGAIN AND FINISH HIM OFF BUT CREEP AFTER SO TAHT IF THEY COUNTER U, U CAN HAVE PLENTY OF UNITS AND LEVELED UP HERO.

lol, I tend to do a little of each, depending on my mood.

I rush to defend, not to attack

I rush to counter a rush, but at the same time I creep. So it's really not a creep... I can rush if my partners decide they want to rush, but for the most part, I rush to defend.

Depends.. But creeping is a better idea since all high lv players block most rushes easily.


and you can start creeping around with only 4ghouls and a DK.. not 5. Use the hills and control, you can creep those 4trolls in your front yard expansion in lost temple without loosing a single ghoul.

When I rush, I rush when I have 2 heros an 10 Ghouls and about 75% of the time it works and if it doesn't work they are badly screwed.
