#25481, "Too specific...."


          

I would probably agree that there are always going to be easy, or hard matchups for any character. Some might even be near impossible (I always found dagger specs to be near ridiculous to fight as my orc). The whole article is more about what you *DO* about those situations. Do you -

A) Give up, call it cheap, and not improve yourself

or

B) Figure there must be SOME way to beat this combination, and try to figure it out.

In my orc example...it still usually took a pretty favorable situation for me to beat things like arial berserker rager dagger specs, but I still got BETTER at it, as I tried to find the solution. Maybe I didn't die as often as I would have before, maybe I actually made them run away once or twice instead of me running, maybe I actually got a kill on one. The article isn't about the results, as the mindset.

Hell, in Dwoggurd's example, you can always perma-lag the guy with slay. It's not unbeatable. Even my favorite character (Rhuean), lost constantly to his handle-char (Dwoggurd). I'd tried everything I could think of, never worked, so I pretty much gave up on the idea of killing him. What happens? Some random rager I barely had heard of kills him. Could I have beaten him, instead of that guy? Maybe, maybe not. I gave up on it, though, and when you do that, you tend to lose automatically. May as well keep giving it a try. No-one says you can't find other characters and go "Hey, X is *ALWAYS* killing me. I've tried this and that, but it doesn't work...anything you can suggest?"
