Hi everyone,
I'd like to share with you my thoughts about the current ressource strategy of the top players (well, those that my elo allows to match against...)
It seems that on most maps with ressources (except meeting point but this is basically an Elimination map), the best strategy is to ignore ressources and push the ennemy, and starts scoring after a specific event:
- An opponent dies or NbAllyBots > NbEnemyBots
- I think mrchris added an additional event if he pushed enough, maybe like "X enemies are at Short or Mid Range from borders" ?
I don't like this strategy and tried to counter it with another one, which could be defined as "Grab some ressources but get pushed as a consequence, and then try to hold 4mn without dying".
Sometimes it works : 811535, sometimes it doesn't.
Anyway, I think I can get easely countered if your event that allows you to start ressourcing improves a bit, because the price of ressourcing in early game is very high, I get pushed quite a lot.
So don't you think we should do something about it and reward more ressourcing strategies, or do you like the meta like this ? I think it could be a good idea because this looks a lot like elimination games right now.
