My highest elo was 1242 and if i try hard I feel i can go to 1300s. But most games above 1150 seem very rushed. So i lost a bunch of games intentionally and dropped to 1050 and now i feel not rushed while playing the games. Is this frowned upon and against game rule by any chance? I intend to loose games on purpose. My idea is to play games where i dont want to play always my best. I dont care about ELO.
You can reach the confortable elo even if you don’t lose games on purpose. Feel free. I think there are many intermediate players in 1200-1300 elo.
Or you can play in lobby or quick match.
I don’t play ranked, so don’t know for sure, but I doubt it would be frowned upon. Seems like nobody would ever really know. If you want to play a more casual game, that should be your right.
But how do you maintain that ELO level? Keep winning some and then purposely losing some? If you’re okay doing that to maintain it, I guess it’s okay?
I feel the same, but with AI. They are either too slow and easy on one difficulty setting, or too fast at the next one up… a mad rush to Castle and/or Imperial without skipping a beat, and at a certain (fairly pre-programmed) point their relentless onslaught will begin. I play me vs. two AI a lot, and if I haven’t plopped a castle or two down with towers and some units to stave the onslaughts off, and (sometimes) haven’t done an early rush or two on them myself, it’s a huge slog fest at my home town/base econ and am sometimes toast. At best if this happens, I claw my way back for a prolonged length of time, or at worst I lose (or use a cheat to put a dent in them so I can come back). If I was a player like you who can probably take them on, then maybe it’d be more manageable, but the pacing is still relentless every match. A mad dash to Castle and Imperial without missing a click. I’m okay playing fast, but don’t want to be rushed to the max every. single. game.
