mmm on arabia maa archer is actually very strong against early walls.
I don’t undertand why people that claim “walls are op” not just open with that build?
I mean it takes 30 seconds to break in with 3 maa + some archers. That’s not even enough time to rush a tower in defence.
And don’t forget you basically lose all you walling investment if the opponent breaks in.150 + ressources lost in 30 seconds and then you have a raiding party inside your base.
But the thing is, that early wallers are more the exception, that’s why these people that claim walls would be op don’t change their opener. Cause they just can’t stand if somebody chose an opener that counters their opener they considered to have no counter.
But that’s strategy game baby. Every strat must have a counter strat, that’s how rts works.
Let’s also don’t forget who proclaimed the cost increase for walls: Hera.
Hera who most of the time opens scouts and has great success with it claims that walls are too early up. Still he wins most of his games with scout openings. Am I wrong or does it smell a bit fishy?
