Turtling Discussion

[crump7]

I don't disagree that this is an important thread, and I do not suggest that it is about vilification at all.

There have been other threads, e.g. who is your least favourite player which are only about negativity, but when Syvan posted a match demonstrating this problem and then followed it with:

Quote:I had another game with the same player that I was able to win using 3 mobi's to bust a hole in the turtle and end the game in a single turn. I forgot to save the reply because I was so disgusted.

I felt moved to comment because an individual player was named via the replay, personally I don't think these sort of remarks are productive.

Replying to mkaen

Quote:I also disagree with crump's assertion that the adorables have an advantage when attempting to break through a turtled scallywag's defenses. Scallywags are the ultimate turtlers. Siege up with a few strategically placed bombshells and your opponent simply cannot attack you without taking extremely costly damage.

I didn't say that adorables have an advantage at all, I was referring to the situation leading to turtling, this is what I actually said:

Quote:There is also an inherent problem playing a skilled Adorable’s player with Scallywags as a Mobi attack can be so devastating, therefore if you fail to get the initiative in the early phases without specials you are tactically forced to think defensively because of Mobi, and this can naturally lead to what is described as turtling.
