Kronos: The Overpowered and broken God of Team Games
Kronos is the only god that’s completely broken, especially in team games where all three rival players are Kronos. It’s practically impossible to beat a team of three Kronos players. Kronos’s rush is simply too powerful and broken. His divine powers, Deconstruction and Time Shift Buildings, are incredibly overpowered and broken.
Kronos is the only god with so many offensive advantages available in the Archaic Age! The Kronos rush ruins multiplayer games! Nobody enjoys facing a Kronos rush because it’s too broken in team games. The Kronos rush just makes people not want to play the game.
Theres way to play against it, granted is specific. Scout Who they are teaming up against, create your temple away from their vision to secutr age up. Have your allies help you early and get defensive god powers if available. Ofc it depends on your allies but hey its a 3vs3 teaming up goes both ways. If all 3 kronos players invested on rushing they sacrificed their eco so as long as you age up and manager your villagers your 2 allies Will out grow them. Specially on team games securing gold is easier since you can hop into your allies base for resources and Just bail your main base so you can secure resources and army.
Btw Is this all you do? Write forums with all caps and find something New to complain about?
I’ve played a fair amount of Kronos rush. It’s not that strong. In fact, in team games I find it’s weaker than in 1v1s, because I can deconstruct one player’s temple, but not the other’s. The other can get out heroes to counter my myth units pretty easily.
It’s also only strong against Eggy and Norse. Greeks and Atty can easily get out heroes without me being able to stop them.
I’m not talking about 1 vs 1, I’m talking about team matches, especially matches where all the opponents are Kronos. In team matches, it’s practically impossible to beat a team of three Kronos players.
Kronos rush isn’t OP, It is just super annoying to play against. and after you defend your self the game is practically done since the Kronos guy just lend two myth units into blender and now he has to defend without having myth units. Not very fun game to be in but definetly not broken.
In theory I think the strongest way to play as Kronos should be to launch an early attack with your two free myth units and maybe one more. Then use the slight distraction that provided to help you into a Fast Heroic. Kinda similar to the Drush FC strategy from aoe2. Personally I’m not good enough at managing my eco to make it work.
I’m talking 1v1s and TGs. In fact in TGs it’s a less effective strategy than in 1v1s, because the strategy relies on deconstructing their temple to stop them getting heroes out. But if you have multiple enemies with temples around, you can’t easily stop them all. And you then have to choose between all focusing on one enemy, in which case the others can lend a tiny amount of hero support while booming up safely behind that, or you each target one enemy, in which case it’s basically like three 1v1s simultaneously, except that you have to win all of them for the strategy to pay off.
Some gods are very strong on certain maps. Which is why they are picked on them. Part of having bans and god picks makes it so players have to adapt and shift play depending on opponent, map and choices.
Players would pick the gods that play well vs most of the game or the one thats more overpowered at the moment. They would svoid those gods that are very strong on 1-2 scenarios but fall short in others.
If you think you would see all god representation so you could see the different match ups. Thats not what you would end up getting. Just the same 4-6 gods.
“Completely broken,” nah. Kronos Rush is a cheese that can be dealt with pretty easy unless all the teammates are teaming up on you in which you just need a reliable team as well to back you up.
Kronos rush is harder to do than you think. Greek hero’s decimate myth units, and two hero’s can easily defend VS Kronos rush for a few minutes without making a single other unit.
For Norse a bit harder, need to advance fast, you need to adjust your strat. You can’t advance at 5min and expect to have a good time.
At lower levels it’s easy to do early Kronos pressure without too much skills required, and be very hard and punishing. You only need the most basic build order. But once you get to slightly stronger players, you still need good micro otherwise you get rolled completely. Definitely not OP, maybe even needs a slight buff
Here is some evidence for you to see what I mean. Kronos rush is too overpowered and broken in team games, The player cannot even build a military building because it is instantly deconstructed. Check the game time; even the allies can’t get there to help because Kronos rush is too overpowered. Premade teams are the worst of the game, they just ruin the ranked matches.
This is a very bad example and ill take my time to expain why:
First, i am seeing a game where the norse doesnt know how to play against a kronos rush. No proper build order to defend. Macro mistakes
Theres an allied hades player that openly ignores his ally and doesnt give him sentinels which he can do at any point in the game so the claim that “even allies can´t get there to help” is just false.
Thats not the fast kronos rush even, they advanced 3:30 not even 3:00. You had plenty of time to have temple and hersir out on that timing. Its def not knowing how to play.
Poseidon advances 3:30 (their enemy poseidon, yours decided to take a tour and advance way later), but he is keeping cease fire for his next game for the looks of it. As soon as the deco began they could have sent their heroes to your base. It wouldnt had been instant but they literally didnt send anything from beggining to end and the rush didnt win in 1-2 minutes.
Anything else im missing?. Its also not a ranked game, so blaming ranked players on this is funny, knowing your track record of decieving examples it could be a set up but ill give the benefit of the doubt.
Conclusion: Learn to play better into the rush, learn to see self mistakes and call out for teammates before blaming everything on the other party.
The Norse do not have heroes available at the Town Center
The Norse cannot even create a single hero, because the opponent (premade team) immediately deconstructs the military buildings.
According to the Age of Empires code of conduct: “Engaging in behaviors to purposefully undermine matches goes against the spirit of the game.”
Intentionally sabotaging or ruining the game for others is strictly prohibited in the game, as it violates the principle of respectful competition. Is that what you are trying to defend??? It is obvious that premade teams are violating the codes of conduct and are driving players away. I have evidence, you? No.
Kronos rush and Deconstruction and Time Shift Buildings, are incredibly overpowered and broken in team rankeds.
No one said they did. You can have a hersir out by 3:30 thou.
False. You can. Theres guides on it. specially the 3:30 approach.
You have a track record of making false claims and being deceptive. Your trust value is low.
Flawed scenarios are not really “evidence” i already know if you reply to this you are still going to ignore the pointers i gave again either way.
You are not sabotaging the game for anyone. By that logic wining against your opponent is sabotaging them. You are crying for something you struggle at and just call out. No one takes this idea seriously.
You ignore everything i said and just moved on to cry about the same thing or invent something new. I just respond to your comical takes because another player that might not know better might see this and believe you and i wanna make fully clear you are misleading.
No, thy are not. Its strong sure but You can react to it, you can defend it. Its hard, it requires effort and coordination and allies.
If you placed the same effort on improving than you do at editing out things in your flawed scenarios you would be doing better, but that requires seeing shortcomings which you dont seem a fan of doing.
You are not understanding the true problem in the discussion, That has nothing to do with whether the player creates a temple 20 seconds sooner or later like a perfectionist robot or if your ally is a Greek or not. the true problem is that premade teams are using broken features of the game like the kronos rush to harass and drive away players as soon as the match begins!! in the video it can be evidenced that the players abandon the match immediately after the kronos rush! Is it okay with you that in a ranked team game a player is prevented from creating military units or buildings to defend themselves?? is it okay with you that a match lasts so little time? do you think the players who abandoned the match will come back to play the game? Most likely NO because nobody likes to be prevented from playing or to be harassed at the beginning of the match!. the kronos rush is very powerful and broken in team games and is only driving away players, NO ONE WANTS TO FACE PRE-MADE TEAMS OF SEVERAL KRONOS , THE PLAYERS PREFER TO ABANDON THE MATCH BECAUSE THE KRONOS RUSH IS VERY BROKEN.
Im aware he is a troll. he will just keep spamming threads for attention. Sadly i have had people ask me about some of those issues and had to explain so im just getting it from the root to prove his flawed examples and exagerations.
I do, just like all your posts, its your inability of dealing with something then coming to complaing about it. After loosing a game prob hoping into a thread to either write in all caps, use bold or invent a flawed editor simulation to skew what you want to say. Doesnt matter the topic all your post follow that trend.
Imagine thinking you need to be a robot to do a build order. Insane thinking really.
You picked greek allies in your flawed example. You dug your own grave. You made points that are false and easily shown. Give any setup of god picks, theres solutions.
All this is a bunch of make believe thinking that you convinced yoursefl with and refuse to see other ways. Rather than learning to play better you resort to childish commenting and ignoring feedback. Im glad you dont have a following and the matter is seen by others as the troll atempt it is.
I thought you would have good arguments to debate, unfortunately, all you and your friend do is pathetically insult me and launch personal attacks even when I present evidence. That says a lot about you and your friend. Please, if you are going to act like an immature and bad-faith person and the first thing you do is accuse and insult without evidence, please do not participate in this forum. The users will thank you; we do not need people like you in this forum who get frustrated by not having arguments to debate and start insulting the thread creator by calling them a troll.
P.S. When a well-argued person (ME) confronts a person who only insults and denies evidence (You and your friend), the logical conclusion is that the second person has lost the debate on the facts and is trying to win it based on personal attacks and immature emotions.
