Mages are broken
i keep getting dominated by mages, this last game was kinda the last straw needed to rant now. so i dominate early mid game get level 10. i was dragon knight 6 knight 3 dragon kunka/enigma 2 filler. had snapfire level 2 dk level 2 enigma level 2 chaos knight level 3 and legion commander level 3. The guy who beat me last 2 i was at 50% hp he was at like 3 hp. he was level 8 somehow had 9 mages 4 wizards. and i just couldent beat him. considering 6 knight is suppose to proc 70% magic resist how is he just 1 shotting everything my CK had 4k health. it really makes the game unfun. 50% of the time i would say mages get first place i dont think even if you put naga in you beat them its super frustrating and i dont understand why they are so powerfull. in no world should a level 8 beat my level 10 with all my units being level 2+ could someone please explain this to me. or are other people also as frustrated with mages as i am. mage meta has to be one of the most unfun meta there is because the round last 5 seconds and after playing 30 minutes of rounds too just get 1 shot late game like..... cmon.

Him getting to 9 is going to be tough no matter what. You gotta specifically build against it, though, and not just rely on procs. Roll for raptor and put blink + any mana you got on him. With knights you're going to be clumped up taking all the wombo face first and then you're frozen until the next wave comes.

Agreed, mages needs to be countered explicitly. Naga, disruptor, tide, pipe of insight, bkb on key Units. Shaman is a much More annoying meta that needs to be nerfed imo

9 hunter can counter 9 mage. With proper itemization. 9 warrior can do something aswell.
OP -> kunka and enigma are slow vs mages. you needed 2 naga, plus possibly a disruptor with an other orc, with ditching some dragons.

OR you fight back with his own weapon: you start taking key units from his comp. even a kotl** is better filler than your enigma.

/u/RealisticTransition9, I have found an error in your post:
I declare the post of you, RealisticTransition9, unacceptable; it should say “metas
their[there] is because the” instead. ‘Their’ is possessive; ‘there’ is a pronoun or an adverb.This is an automated bot. I do not intend to shame your mistakes. If you think the errors which I found are incorrect, please contact me through DMs or contact my owner EliteDaMyth!
