Why people tryharding? Coz is effective to farm classic elo. Example: new tryhards meta is picking atlantis: 1. wave grarl + fish, 2. wave fish + egg, 3. wave fish + egg + sea serpent- if u dont send at wave 3 brute and even slime u cant destroy an egg. And u have a guy with hydra which u cant break his line. And if u are unlucky u get 4 enemy guild members with the same tactic. Its hard to win(not impissible) if u play "normal" genius picks. Another tryhards farm elo on PVE and TD modes before nerf: POA cheese. Now stacks are limited. But its a lot of satisfaction when u destroy all tryharding enemies xD 1 game was comedy: enemy tryhards cry on our duo members tryhards coz they making POA cheese, enemy goes atlantis hydra start xD And they loose ;p
brute doesn't break an egg (what to say about leak), so yeah, 80 send wave 3 in classic is almost unrealistic, unless you've been saving starting from wave 1, but then again you put yourself way too behind compared to a guy who has 1 stack hydra and didn't even leak on 3 to your 80 send, so you usually just not full sending each wave before 3 (because if you king up he might get away with just an egg and angler which is huge lead) and then you do king ups to not feed them with your inc sends, maybe you could try 7 if you feel they might get greedy, then 14 and 16, sometimes 13 could work too, depends
