Make laming bannable in 1v1

1950 1v1? or 1950 team game? team game elo in pretty much meaningless so people always use their 1v1 elo as their gage for their level and skill.

he is talking about 1v1

The name was invented and used by salty players who didn’t like what was happening on their screen as a result of playing against someone who didn’t do what they wanted them to do. As such, the name is hardly flattering. Might as well ask them if they want to rename it to “Noobing.”

OP isn’t right. I just now realized RadiatingBlade got in here and edited stuff, so I assume the tangent that had the sheep comment I made earlier got wiped along with it (it was getting pretty rough tbh so it’s fine) but sheep laming got totally written off in that discussion and I kinda realized trying to incorporate nuance into the discussion wasn’t going to work very well.

You realize it actually refers to the process of laming someone, effectively crippling them, by reducing their ability to perform certain actions, usually walking.

1950 1v1, trying to be 2k wannabe
word limit

I feel like we fall off the topic a bit

As it stands in the rts eviroment that is aoe2 de and even before that laming was a thing a viable strategy to get the upper hand and deny your opponent(s). And in a game were you need an upperhand i think its a valid strategy

Also dont forget op commits an more untoleratble sin as he smurfs and tanks elo which is by far worst then laming imho

you can control losing vills and if you do lose vills 98% of the time it’s due to you doing some sort of 0 army greed, but you can’t control both Boars spawning in the front.

achieved by laming and Lithuanian drushing I assume xD

Nope, but you can control the defense and the scouting of these boars which is enough to assume that the lame is contrable if you don’t greed. Even if i can fully understand that the lame itself is very annoying and non-interristing( that my opinion also ) it’s still non game breaker or at least if you search for solution other than crying about it.

wow congrats. 1950 1v1 is like top 300 in the world. back to topic yea this seems a super bad take and weak argument by the op. i could see scouts unable to attack boar in a future update but that change will be super controversial since laming has been a core part of the game from the begening

The same guy who doesn’t want to accept that Pikes counter Knights, is now asking for players to be banned if they steal boars.

Gee…

Those seldom work at 1900 elo, I guess you have to play better than the 1000 elo guys as you claimed.

Lithu insta drush is a great way to lame urself. I think that strat requires too much APM for people <1800 elo - atleast for me around ~1500 it normally didnt give me an advantage 11 - but its fun for sure especially when you get a good start with it :smiley: .

And yes if I play sokotra I will instantly send 2 vils forward and lame everything in sight - if I see a boar on arabia that is forward I will take it and yes I will go douche if I random persians and I dont feel guilty at all - its part of the game and all these things have counterplay - if you dont want to adjust to it thats your problem.

What’s your elo dude? Seeing as you belittle a 1k9 player you must be 2k at least

He says he’s smurfing but given that laming is crippling him so hard against 1000s I’d guess his “true elo” is roughly around there.

Dunno, it doesn’t really matter - the dude’s already made a fool of himself and lost any credibility 11
