there r all kinds of combo dude... but what makes a good combo is 1 that cannot be countered by ONE TYPE of enemy unit...

u look at grunts/shamans/taurens... they can be owned by pure gryphs... pure chims... pure frosties... pure wyverns... so u should discard immediately... cuz the enemy does not need to mix

wind riders n shamans... the enemy can win if they go PURE archers... which is a bad sign... what does this mean... itx a lousy combo... n even a noob can own u...

none of the poll options r actuallie any good combos

Why does everyone like Batriders so much, they blow if you have any AA at all...
If I can counter every single strat, I wouldn't play WC at all.

Batriders are great. Suicide, and Wyvs/HH/Shams etc pick 'em off easily.

You need to take a risk on what the opponent you're guessing didn't take. If it's wrong, regroup and start again differently. It's a little harder though in FT with the teching and all but still.....

You sound like no strat is good. I used to smack people with mass Chims when I got bored and ruin bases. Then I can waste time getting a real army up. That was good, but hey, it had counters as well.

You can counter every strat... How lame would WC3 be if you couldn't? If you know what your enemy is getting, there are always units to match it or beat it...

You definitely can counter every strat! Why the fudge would you play WC3 if you couldn't. All everyone would do is go that ONE strat and you can't beat it and everyone will go that one race and eventually won't it get boring? And to mention about that meatshield+hero+aa+casters... that is quite a lot to get. And you need to spread them really thin. Instead of having 8 grunts and 4 tauren with a hero you have 2 grunts 2 tauren and a hero + support. I don't know which one I'd rather have.

Yes it CAN be countered. Not by what you had. How about you go aa for the dott / hippos and throw in some air to air. Have everything kill the dott / hippos first then it's easy picking. every race has stuns so use them for starfall. BTW, if he had all those heroes (you can't creep that high) and you didn't... gg
