Omg, I was just writing a pretty long reply but my firefox died
Will be shorter now ...
Hutzu seems to be very busy lately.
A comment from
@michaelsong is also missing so far.
About your replay analysis in tom's app:
First of all, better formatting would be cool, and I don't think that people want to read essays about what they built on what level and when they pushed (they already know that since it was them playing
). Short and concrete feedback usually is better, just write what they did wrong and what they could do better.
The replays are also pub replays and shouldn't be judged based on a LIHL environment, comments like "this worked in your game, but you shouldn't do it since it probably wouldn't work in LIHL" don't make much sense. Sure if it's something important you can mention it, but it's not a bad play because of that.
The content of your analysis imo was ok, though there are also some flaws.
His mortar positioning is totally fine and also his build is ok. All in all it was a pretty great game as it showed that he understands every important area of the game. He held all levels until 7 while also pushing pretty much. He pushed whenever he could and never overbuilt for no reason. He calculated well, had a plan in his mind and executed it without any mistakes. He stayed 7/5 (hence building for 10) and overbuilt until the other team sent on 14 and possibly saved his team with his overbuilding (only he held his lane and there were still 40 leaks, if he also pushed they probably would have leaked 50-60 creeps), again nice planning ahead.
In the other replay his "overbuilding" on lvl 1-3 was also totally ok, it's simply a matter of preference whether you want to be safe and ob a bit or want to risk it and push more. Even if you let 5 top LIHL players play with the same roll you will get many different results, so please be a bit more open minded
Same with upping the mermaid on level 8 vs pushing, some would build, some would push, neither is correct nor wrong, what will be better usually can't be judged at that point and will vary in every game. Building the meliai is probably the first "real" mistake in his replays (but ofc no big deal) as it didn't help any on level 9 nor 10 and was simply useless, same with minotaur after lvl 10. The mermaid placement on the other hand was again totally fine, it's better in the long run and actually helped tanking a bit on level 12 and 13, so it was also better at that point. And saying that he shouldn't have made the grizzlies is simply wrong, they do fine on 14, 15 and 17, keeping them is totally normal. All in all that replay again was totally fine, barely any mistakes done while again showing good knowledge of the game.
The biggest problem I have with your feedback is that you kinda only see one way of playing correct, which is kinda wrong and not that helpful. Yes, distinguishing between a mistake and a matter of personal preference isn't easy (also wolfwarrior sometimes does that mistake imo) and that's why it's better if a pretty skilled/experienced player reviews vouch requests.
Nonetheless I'm ok with your replay analysis, and I'm sure you could further improve it
Let's see now what Hutzu and Wolf think about your app
