@@jorgemosqueda9812I think it is because it is a different gameplay. In custom scenario on maps like CBA/CBA HERO you are obligated to learn patrols, runners that lure away enemy units from combat, how to stack units to raze quickly, how to micro archers etc because the maps are just fighting. In random map, players couldn't focus on such things. Recently though, random map players have push themselves to the best level this game has ever seen and are now "discovering" these patrols that Scenario players been using since I discovered this game in 2011. There are so many amazing things in custom scenario gameplays that could definitely be applied in random map. I quit this game on voobly in 2018 so I don't know how active custom scenario is.
Yeah i was doing this decade ago when in uni in cba first time when i saw it i was like is it glitching, It was 101 called patrolling and best to practice was celts and japa back then
I watched Hera do this in Hera vs Viper Red Bull final and his 20-30 knights were melting 30 halbardiers as if they never existed. In the end he should of come out with 0 knights and 10 halbs left. He was left with 15 knights all halbs dead. Insane.
Fine if it was well known exploit that the devs refuse to fix, but this is a fairly new find and totally breaks the games dynamic. I love hera, but to do that as already rank #1 against a teammate, in a tournament, feels bad
@@mattbeutler2907 I agree it feels bad if put that way, I was kind of surprised it was "allowed" for a first minute. I never seen it utilized like that before. I saw people play it, but I thought it was done because it looked pretty. To be honest because of that my feel was that Hera was the only one who actually knew how to use or utilize that thing and how powerful it is. If it was something that Viper also knew how to use, but didn't want to, because he saw it as exploit or cheat of some sort, its kinda bad for Hera. The commentaries T90 never said anything bad about it, so, I felt, it was only Hera who actually knew what was going to be the outcome. 30 knights run away from 30 halbs, Hera, did not. It was very surprising.
Yeah, Dave covered it a long time ago. Sadly pros are kinda dumb about new tactics and refuse to listen to him until one of pros finally does it and suddenly they all realize the power.
this is old.. this was used with infantry like 10 years ago during voobly/gameranger era specially in automated scenarios like infantry war/winter war or so
@@PoopLord we already knew it's banned from next tournament while Red Bull was still ongoing. Why do you even claim it's "tournament" legal when you haven't checked the rules?
This video is stupid, of course u always gonna win if the enemy sends units 1 by 1, every test where u have more than 1 unit VS another group of soldiers is a huge difference, killing that single unit gonna make the micro good for u if the opponent sucks
@@PoopLord I what I mean is this test is trash, even viper said that strategy wasn't the reason of his lost, in those games u can see how viper sends few trops VS a huge group of paladins and camels, thats a viper mistake
@@sgtpepper8581 Bullshit, Lanchester's law applies in both cases. If you send your troops in batches instead of all together it applies and it also applies when the "exploit" here is used, which makes the knights stack and then more knights can attack at the same time per unit of area than without the exploit effectively making a bigger army fight several smaller ones.
There was one battle that was critical for viper to win to stay in the game that Hera used this exploit in and arguably won the battle because of it. Hera's knights ended up beating Viper's camels because of this.
@@Alobster1that battle of camels and the castle? Viper was losing macro already that game. Not a Hera supporter but Viper’s strength is his macro game sense.
It's the fault of the organizers for not banning it. It had been around for a little while already. It's never the fault of the player who should use every allowed tool at his disposal to win.
Lierrey did it in semis vs Viper as well day before. I can't help but feel like Hera is still more friends with previous team than GL guys 11 Despite all the people saying this is old trick, i guess there's a reason we never saw pros use it, even on ranked.. it's just not a cool thing to use in finals in my opinion.
phosphoru also discovered this a while ago but for the purpose of quickly breaking through walls
I just find out that Survivalist showed this more than year ago
Thats not a phosphoru discovery, that tactic was even at the legacy aoe ALWAYS, even this "exploit" too
Ow yah that’s cool
Pros in custom scenario in voobly been doing this for more than a decade. This is used a lot in CBA/CBA HERO
Did not know
@@Berserkerpg3d why isnt usted in random map?

I would wanna see how 20 knights or so perform against a cost efficient number of camels (or pikes) with that "trick"
Can do
Qould love to see it maybe against halbs
Hera wrecked a lot of halbs with this.
Use it against halbs?
Was doing this on Archers Blood on MSN gaming zone. If you didn't stand ground and patrol your archers, you lost
🤔
I saw this years ago in a CBA HowTo video. Maybe it was even Dave or Nili who showed how to raze gates fast with this trick.

Stand ground and patrol that’s it
"Knights! Engage meatgrinder maneuver!"
Hahaha use the meathgrinder
My micro got popular XD 😂

It's interesting you call it tournament legal because the upcoming NAC has this banned 11
It clearly is controversial
They banned it?!
@@PoopLord we already knew it's banned from next tournament while Red Bull was still ongoing.
Why do you even claim it's "tournament" legal when you haven't checked the rules?
It was legal in Red Bull wololo was it not?
Kind of stupid like AoE3 cav box, which allowed you to fit units into square ignoring true collision box.
It’s nutty for sure
Why did it take you 2 weeks tho
He waited for me to watch the recorded games today :D
Cause I am slow
Needs to be illegal
You think so?
@@PoopLord if it was some new micro technique, very cool. But this is more of a glitch that will break the game if a lot of people start using it.
@@russtkach9068 I am going to start using it... 😈😈😈😈
...so they notice it and hopefully patch it 😇😇😇😇

🤔 I agree I think it’s strong
Absolutely scummy move by hera to use this on live stage
Worst part is hera wouldve won even if he didnt use it... but still did it

@@ew6546 it's a tech in the game.
How about banning quick walls or attack ground with mangonels?
Hera cheating on tournies, I am sure he tested and decided not to ask the organizers to ban in case he wanted to exploit it.

Idk. I think Hera dominated regardless
Why should Hera ask first, it's not an exploit, just a bad mechanic that is in the game atm.
@@ew6546 Pooplord already gave the last word.
@@BestFriendOfDog word
hera should be banned from future tournament after using this bug
I don’t know about that
What rules did he break?
It's not a bug. Game worked this way since 1999. Why would someone be banned for it?
Agree
I don’t see a rule break just using an exploit
