It might have something to do with what Grubby once said before, that human are the most upgrade available faction, but depend the most on getting those upgrades to keep up. With two other facts - humans relative ease at expanding first, and footmen dropping off more severely than other races units, and it seems like the answer might be: human is so equipped to rush an expansion and push for a midgame, that not taking the expansion is by default a msssive opputurnity cost and a disadvanatge state

One base human is very strong. Especially against nelf. If you go for t2 push and while teching attack enemy nelf with footies killing wisps etc. Then blood mage for siphon and banish dh is useless and nelf cannot stop it. Humans do this on bnet non stop and its unbeatable if done right

T2 tower rush with rifles and casters

I think it looks good. I think they should be proud of them (with exceptions). The paladin looks horrendous. However it translates to shitty in game experience because it's overly busy. It's bad direction not bad art, which means it has to be simplified. Also no portrait animation, shitty attack animations as well :/ and the animation and art team not sure if they're the same. The problem is that the studio they contracted received no direction. What do they think you get by cutting corners like this? You have 0 feedback and have no idea what's good or not. That's what happens when the team gets canned. Edit : ok the terrain art is horrendous. I was thinking of the models. They look fine.

​@@planetary-rendez-vousidk. The orcs all kinda look like Squidward from that "does this look unsure to you" bit imo.

When the entire pro scene including all human players agree that going for expansion is the correct play, it is very likely that it is indeed the correct play. This is simply a survivorship bias, you only see the human that tries and occasionally get slaughtered when trying to expand. You don't see the humans that tried to go for slower expansions / tier 3 and quickly gets killed by the opponent's tier 3 timing, because those plans are never good enough to reach the pro scene. Obviously, there are some off meta strategies like Pala Rifle that can occasionally work as a pocket strategy. But at this level, they don't care as much about what is viable as they care about what is the best.

​@@kevin-7091​@kevin-7091 so if your are not 300 apm Korean you can simply forget it. That's always the problem of competitive games, it's not balanced for 99% of the players, it is balanced for the 1%. Then you get slaughtered as hu. That's why 40apm undead just play always the same and coil nova you to death. So my comment above was addressed to the 99% not to players like grubby. The thing is, he tries since 2 years to teach people in his game of the past but forgets sometimes that he has to split his advices. He sometimes say that too, that he has to be more accurate in explaining such things. I just wanted to mention that a general "hu must always expand" is like saying "mothers always cook good".

​@@90sspiritHe was talking about human in terms of the opponent he was playing against, which is high enough in level that expansion is pretty much always expected. Grubby is very much aware about differences in different levels. In his beginner guide video for human, he actually recommended going for quicker tier 2 as the strat for beginners, and only fast expansion for intermediate players. And no, this game is as much about good decision making as it is about apm. It doesn't matter how much apm you have, if you are playing mass footmen against rifle casters. Having the mindset of not wanting to learn different strategies simply because you are not a "300 apm korean" is not exactly a useful mindset to have.

​@@kevin-7091that's simply not true. I play since 20 years and know like 95% of everything what grubby said. But I get slaughtered in 90% of fast exp. Same happens to 90% players I see. So it's not a decision making. It's actually really pro style micro before 8 workers gets killed. That's why human is harder than undead. 20 years ago there was a speech that orc is a A attack move Click race and grubby admits it by not focus fire with them. So there are differences in races and how fast human can be killed as we can see in 2 games within 3 min. So it's still not true to say without additional conditions that hu has always to expand.

I don't get your point. I understand that wc3 micro is geometrically more complex. Regarding Dota's meta heroes - old tinker, arc and meepo are literally the best heroes for stomping pubs and they are heavy on micro. As for Chen, the hero is 95 percent of time meta on high level so you are not quite right regarding that part

Dota 2 feels really responsive to me. What's your gripe? They even have advantages like "summons remember their control groups"
