ENT Gaming

1. Provide a list of aliases. That is; names that people might recognize you as:
ITouchMyself

2 .Please provide some replays of LTD Mega 3.41 games so that vouchers can better assess your skill level. (Do not provide replays where you go merc, cross-build, double-build or aura swap as these tactics are not allowed in the LIHL):

Done. I only saved replays where I did not start with easy buildings like Nightmare, Archers, Infantry, Goblin Alchemist, etc.

3. If possible, provide a list of LIHL players who might know you or that you are acquainted with:

I don't know anyone in LIHL.

4. Any additional information that you would like to provide:

I feel that I'm pretty decent at this game and I know the dynamics pretty well. It's very hard to enjoy LTD when you always have someone who doesn't want to listen to what the majority of the team thinks is best, or just doesn't communicate. I respect different strategies but if you somehow get stuck with a random 900 elo guy on your team who just refuses to listen it's hard to play/win. I went from 1400 elo to ~1250 in like one week because of running into just one bad teammate almost every single game.

In the mermaid alpha male replay you can see that we would have won if red did not up king for absolutely no reason (the ~400 lumber he used to up king could have been spent into regen or a send, which would have made us win the race).

Thanks.

edit: I also want to say that I still have a lot to learn in LTD so I think being in LIHL would really help me improve, rather than playing with pubs.

Hello and thanks for applying.

I like your incoming, but your tower choices are pretty bad. In both games you would have leaked so much if you got a send on level 3. Especially in first game, you have turrets but you build a lock, oracle and wyvern for level 3 ... that's really a no-go.
Same with building mass Bigfoots for level 20 when you also have Druids :/

I think you lack knowledge and experience at the moment and if you don't show better replays it will be a no from me, sorry.

I disagree.

From my personal experience, machine turrets are decent early game but do not hold up in the later levels, (especially compared with warlocks -armor and wyverns damage) which is what I was planning for. I also wanted to build those 3 so I could reroll as I am not a fan of massing turrets. They were simply built to just be filler towers.

In the first game if I had a blood orc (which is an average send) I would probably have leaked 5-8 at the most as oracle removes 23% damage. I had a 70% life oracle and a 25% life wyvern.

When talking about massing bigfoots vs ascendants, I was trying to utilize the oracle space I had. If I had to mass ascendants instead (I probably still wouldnt kill more than what I killed with the bigfoots) there would be some outside of the oracle's range, AND I would not have any tanks. So, sure, I would have slightly more DPS for 20, but I would lose a LOT more defense. You also have to factor in the bigfoots stomp which buys the team time, as in most pub level 20 games it's a race to the king.

No comment on the second replay? I felt that I did well in that one.

I can upload more but all I have now is a blaster replay.

I just tested your build (wyvern, oracle, lock), 18 leaks vs bo, 18 leaks vs furb. As I said, a no-go.
The early game is the most important part of the whole game, if you have good early income you will be strong whole game long, that's why turrets are good towers.

Second replay .. well bad build for lvl 3 as already said and I'm not sure what you built the Guards for. Level 14 send also was a bad choice, but all in all the game was ok I guess.

Second game I had to build with what I had, and that's what I had. I do not believe it was a bad build for 3 as I killed everything and my highbourne gave both my alpha male and itself +5 armor along with the cloud effect.

Guards are for level 7 and 10 and they did a lot of tanking if you did not see.

edit: I'll play a few more games and post them up in a bit.

Just played this game, under the user "Jizz"

I will say that I made a tiny error on level 8 by upping to soul of villain too early, it made me leak a little. The rest of the game I did pretty well.

edit: Adding another replay "comeback."

I didn't do amazing in this one but I know that vouchers want to see come backs:

I got a whelp at level 1 from a guy who sent randomly (no one else got sends), it made me leak a good amount. It also made me leak level 3 since I had much less gold.

By the end of arena I caught up in lumber and value (I don't think I leaked either). by 13 I was the highest lumber in my team (I upped because they already sent 12) and I only leaked because once again a random guy sent a commander when their team had already sent on level 12.

Hi there and thanks for applying for LIHL

comeback.w3g: after lvl 1 welp you make the right call building ice troll for lvl 2 and holding gold to be strong lvl 3 - but then you decide to upgrade your icetroll and getting another ranger instead of building another grizzly which is NOT a good decision and with only 2 archer on you lvl 3 with 490 value you leak 7 creeps + the 2 archers - if you had done the grizzly you would have held even with stronger send and made an EASY recovery from the lvl 1 leak
for lvl 4 you build a little to make sure you hold - problem is you hold 70+ gold which you also have spare after 5 instead of getting the wisp you end up building as lvl 5 starts (have in mind what the general overall gold is from lvl 1-7 or get the spredsheet for gold earned every lvl to help you out)(gonna link it to you later if you don't have it) - for lvl 6 you build overseer to buff your 1 melee unit - you build warchief for lvl 7 and that makes 2 units buffed which at the end of the day is not worth the gold - you end up holding due to low/zero send and you seem to have a great anti 7 roll - for 8 and 9 you up the overseer and build another and you have now 4 auras for basically 2 towers which is NOT paying off compared to the gold used at all (you being 4/1 for lvl 10 is unacceptable - especially with that roll and considering your team was cross of dhawks and a solo blaster, polar, wanderer, sentry - you could have pushed MUCH more - especially with better useage of your gold and then you do thrall for lvl 10 which is a worthless choise - poor decision to do another thrall vs 14 and you end up leaking 10 units with barely any send when you have lifesteal, icetroll, grizzly and orc warchief (good call pushing 7/6 12->13 since it was 4v3)

spawn.w3g: you choose to go 3/0 then hold 50 g's after 2 then when 2 is over you realise you don't need that 50g's to build the flying machine you had in mind and you end up wisping a lvl too late (creep sheet) - building 2 acolyte in front of spawn is rather pointless as they do a much better job sniping low hp units the spawn can't take out in 1 or 2 splash hits instead of tanking for the spawn - you did an ok job pushing 7/1 realising you would hold decently on 4 and hold 5 - for 6 you build a harlot and assuming you had this all along it would have been a much better choise to build for lvl 3 instead of late wisp, 2 acolytes and the flyinc machine
and let me just correct a quote of yours "Commander is better than furb for 7" - incorrect - furb is better
your lvl 8 leak is what it is with your towers - you might have done slightly better with a flying machine instead but since you prepared for lvl 7 it's not that big of a mistake leaking some lvl 8 - then you reroll away from harlot, flying machine, soul of villain and acolyte pre lvl 10 (risky move since all the towers can be used very well vs 10) - you rr into lod and blaster but choose to do 1 of each instead of upping the blaster (MUCH stronger than alchemist) and lod not all that great for 10 - all in all you leak 1 boss lvl 10 with 3 sends or smth. like that (not admireable considering your towers) - upgrading a spawn for 13 should only be done if you expect a send on this lvl and since they seem to send every lvl/they had just send on 12 that really isn't usefull but good call on the lvl 13 send

all in all I think you have a good basic idea of what to do with your towers but you lack an idea of what gold you get when and what towers are good when the first 5 lvls (crucial you don't get fucked the first 5 lvls as it can affect your entire game)
My suggestion is to get the creep sheet and then go observe some LIHL games before I will consider vouching you for LIHL - feel free to show us replays where you think you do well

I want to say again that you income nicely, but your tower choices are simply too much off to accept you. These are not just minor mistakes, but instead total screw ups which are unaccaptable in LIHL and show fundamental lack of knowledge/experience and that's why we have to deny your application.

Thanks again for applying.
