Nice save
Unfortunately this is all still true:
You got refuted point for point, and your 'points' decimated and disintegrated. Why do you continue to embarrass yourself?
You're like those kids in dueling games that say "HAHA PSN SUCKS", dies to me, then keeps coming back for his body and charging at me futilely and dying again.
What are you trying to prove? That you can't do basic math? That you suck at dueling? That you don't know how to use plague javelin? That NL is 95% hackers who suck at dueling?
You don't even know how to hit someone with a plague javelin. Try this some day.
Throw a plague
behind yourself, in the opposite direction of where your opponent is facing, while he's off your minimap during a teleport chase.
Now teleport towards him, and watch as he goes to flank you around the opposite side, trading places as he positions himself to spam (fireballs/spears/etc)
And finds himself inside of a totally unavoidable, invisible plague cloud. Because to him, the plague is invisible, and he has no way to dodge it, because he doesn't know where it is.
How does a paladin, windy, bvc, ghost, cs zon, or any melee char, get to "avoid" plague javelin, despite the fact you can simply walk into your own clouds and poison any character who tries to stomp or chase you?
They can't. Those builds
need to get poisoned to have any chance, and they know it, so they'll run straight through it and try to berserk you down before they die- and this build is built precisely to survive longer than other people, with its 400,000 physical damage tanked.
And not only those builds- characters like FB sorcs, light sorcs, bone necros, trappers,
also need to stomp you to kill you. They can
try to keep a distance and trade hits with you, but you'll always win that matchup
After all, you have garrow, fury, and CS chainlock stomps- while throwing invisible plague clouds to bait your opponents. Nobody is going to beat a damach zon at long range.
The only way your opponent even has a chance it to try to stomp you, and plague is the defense against that.
So tell me, what builds are excluded from what I just said. I think I named just about every build there is. Ok, cold sorcs might not need to stomp you. Most might try.
But that a trivial duel- if you have a 120 cold shield and ravens on, they have no chance, you can just fly around stomping
them, but even without any stack, the duel is wildly in your favor- plague punishes defwhore cold builds, and offensive ones, alike.
What else? Bowazons? Don't make me laugh. I've never lost a duel to a bowazon, ever. In fact, I've beaten the best ZvZ's on ladder in gm duels,
using only my bow. Thats right. On a 1 point garrow vita build with no +% damage.
This is possible, of course, because teleport makes the duels a snooze, and no non-tele bowazon has a chance against a tele one. I won't pretend to "gm zvz", only gm "1v1". With plague/cs/valk/fury, its not even a duel though- you just plunk yourself on top of them and autowin
So lets think. I just described how plague helps against about 95% of dueling builds, crushing them. What are you still trying to prove? That you can't do basic math? That you suck at dueling? That you'll get an extra 10% warn if you spam a paid thread with copy/paste quotes for the third time?
