I'm sure some of us will argue that a game like Underlords is not meant to be explored in such depth like chess, we're meant to get major updates once a while, otherwise it's going to stale.
Did you just get the hang of the 7th variant of the Dragon variation of the Sicilian defense? Too bad, there is no more Sicilian defense as we know it. The time and effort the players spent on minimaxing the strategies immediately becomes meaningless. Rooks can only capture a piece if there is another piece between the rook and the captured piece, etc. Imagine if the International Chess Federation announces an "update": from next week onwards, we're replacing Knights with Elephants, and Bishops with Guards. Only now is this game truly starting to feel like chess: in chess, players spend years learning the different openings, mid game maneuvers, end game checkmate and stalemate types, so on and on and on.
#DOTA UNDERLORDS META REDDIT UPDATE#
If the game gets a new roster update again, I am sure I'll be excited for the update, but a little bit sad that I'll be losing a lot of the knowledge I accumulated with the current meta, and I will no longer be able to see all the build possibilities if I get, say, 2-star Dazzle and Bounty Hunter at turn 3.Īm I the only person that thinks this way? Or would most players here be just fully bored with the current meta and just want to be done with it?īecause this game has not been updated for such a "long" time, I am able to explore different strategies in depth. It is more about HOW we play the builds rather than what builds they are, as I am sure everyone here has played a supposedly OP meta build and only ended up with 6th-8th place losing streaks. Yes, the meta builds are viable, but so are many non-meta builds that are I played, or saw being played, that got 1st place at Lords level. I also disagree with the view that the game now has only a few viable meta builds. All these what I consider "end-game contents" I am sure I will not be able to get to, had this game's meta get drastically changed once every month or so.
#DOTA UNDERLORDS META REDDIT HOW TO#
With this familiarisation of the game, I feel I am ONLY JUST STARTING to explore this game in depth, like learning how to play all the meta builds, trying to get better with transitioning builds into different late-game line ups, switching between partially or completely different builds during mid-game, developing my own builds, improvise builds during a game when things are not going according to plan (like opponents getting strong too fast, or build getting contested, or having an unlucky game), countering and anti-countering builds, developing a sense of when and how to do these things, positioning. I just realised after playing the game in its current state for months, I am so familiar and comfortable with the current version of the heroes/alliances that I am not sure if I am even looking forward to the next game update, if there is going to be one.
