Orcs who complain about heavy air

[prime2832]

Do you alt qq when you see it (I know I would if I played them)?

[W.a.t.e.r.]

<cough> Stop spam posting <cough>

No, because you can counter it with wyvern. Chims can't hit them, frosties lose their splash against them, and storm hammer don't work on them. Piercing has a bigger bonus vs light armor than magic. Raiders are always an option. Orbs, hex, serpent wards, and chain lightning can help.

DK, Lich, wyrms, fiends, statues, destroyers (if needed) > anything orc can put out. Just alt QQ if you ever play against UD so you don't waste your time.

What I do is complain about it alot and then feel like an idiot. I wish I could just gg and leave, but I don't seem to have it in me.

alt qq when you see mass air???wtf... if you have been scouting you would notice they were going air, and in response you could make some batriders or raiders.

[Andy Wilson]

[Ragnorak]

lmao @ Water.. Spam thread creating eh ? ^_^

Orcs can kiss my Gryph's a$$ ..

noone even thought of bersekers .. lol

[^Dagon^]

Berserkers work against heavy air only with the support of healing wards (to minimize splash damage). But, hell, they need more than 5 hp (they cost 200 mana).

Its harder for orc to counter air then it is for some of the other races, but as long as u mix ur forces and take advantage of orc's strengths. U should do ok, so the answer to ur question= NO. Otherwise i would lose every game by ur reasoning. Its better to come up w/ a solution on how to fight it the next time u see it.

a mix of air counter units works great:

If i only have ground units+casters and i see all air: raiders+bats+hh asap till i can get a more stable anti air counter.(look below for better mix)

best is to make it: raiders+bats+windriders if enemy lets u have time or u add these units in to the above units. Till u have reached a critical mass in units that will counter most air armies.

As game progress and u lose melee units due to attrituion. Then i would switch over to more air units myself. windriders+bats+shamans

Build tons of peons and quick tech to tier 3. At that point you should have the 500/500 resources required to get the flying peon of doom upgrade giving them 200 chaos splash damage, 2000 bonus life, and the ability to turn into a flying peon of doom which obliterates every enemy on the map.

Anyway, if any orc alt-qq's when they see lots of air, its usually because they have no balls, or guts...w/e. get any form of high damage peircing and mix it in with some batriders to soften them up and that should take care of it. Then again, I dont play orc so wtf do I know.
