And we are supposed to take your word for it? You sound pretty biased yourself believing that you're the only one who has played against "numerous pro players" where the definition of pro can be debated and again, the belief you are the only person on this forum who has done so.
If it makes you happy I'll refute everything he says logically from an experienced players viewpoint.Quote (zethcrome @ Dec 4 2009 04:35pm)
its all about kiteing in 1vs1 and nightelves with demon hunter and naga attacking at night useing hide and ice arrow to pick off unit is the way to go.
Kiting is one small skill used to effeciently maximize a units damage output. If 1v1 was all about kiting then pros would do nothing but kite with every single unit, which they don't. 1v1 Is mainly about map control, macro, and micro. Numerous other things that are as important are unit counters, scouting, creep and item memorization (knowing what to creep given a certain amount of time), unit pathing, build placement, and timings. Kiteing is a subcategory of micro, nothing more.

best to weakest race for 1vs1 listed as 4 being strongest 1 being the weakest.
4. nightelves since you can just hide your units when they focus on them and send them back to heal when they get weakened.
Nightelves have a huge disadvantage against UD on most maps, but the matchup is fairly equal otherwise. It favors NE early game if the NE is able to fast creep to level 3 (such as Terenas Stand), or expands without much effort.

3. Undead you can use dk speed aura to kite and heal so works rather well if done right and great for picking off slower units.
I consider UD the 2nd worst race, worst being Nightelf. Orc have a giant advantage over UD mainly because of raiders, and the ability of orcs to escape quickly and do hit and runs (much harder to do vs NE/HU). In matchups against Human, it comes down to how successful the push is against the expansion, otherwise on one goldmine the UD has the advantage.

2. Human have sorcs can cast slow works raher well but useless vs anti magic units.
Slow is amazingly imbalanced vs Orc, and that is all. A human will never go sorcs for slow against UD or NE unless the NE goes pure bear, which is rare seeing as how good Dryads are.

1. Orc Purge is can be used but lets just say not many are skilled at it and endurance aura it just doesn't work that well.
This sentence just doesn't make any sense, it is economically stupid to go shamans just to use purge as a method for slowing units down. Purge was used in the old days mainly vs AM/BM because it does a substantial amount of damage vs summons. If you go shaman vs Elf or UD, I can guarantee you will lose if they are even half decent.
