Hi GD. , first of all apologies for the long waiting time. I have watched the replays you submitted, and checked a few more random replays. Unfortunately after analyzing I found you aren't ready for LIHL yet. I will explain how I came to this.
On the replays you submitted: I was impressed by the hydra hold game. You had a really good roll there, but you also played it in a great way. I will think of playing it like that too
Also the wolverine really well played. However, in both games everything went your way, huge feeds early on, dodging the sends. That's why I decided to randomly check some games. I checked 4 games, where in 2 of them you were EA. I skipped through them, but you played them like you should. The other 2 games I saw you had to improvise more, and I saw more mistakes that really cannot happen in LIHL.
http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/vie ... 464149.w3gYou played lod + sov + skellie here. On level 3 you made a poor choice going for a skeletal mage + wanderer. Upped wanderer 1 hits level 3 and you don't have to add on 4 then. On 4 you added another wanderer + skellie, and by now you had quite some useless shit on your lane. On 5 you leaked a lot because you had too much dead value. Level 8 you made a hades, when 2 lods were better since you made 1 extra on 10. The positioning of the Lod of 10 was really off. Adding another sov for arena when it was clear you would win was also a bit of money waste. You also could have done better on 14 if you did not mass goliaths, but made halfbreeds and/or lods.
http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/vie ... 464608.w3gWith 2 LIHL players, good to see how you would act in an LIHL env. I am not a fan of your placement on level 1, but fine. To build 250 value on level 2 without a send yet is really too big of a risk. If you want to push, you can do it with a t1 added, but like this your entire game is ruined if you get a furb on 2. Then you needlessly leak 10 units on 5 because you built only 500 value aqua. Again 6 on lvl 6 with 570 because of your placement of aquas. I would advice you to watch how LIHL players play aqua's. It's more compact and lets the golems on 6, which take a lot of space, wander around more. I stopped watching here.
Although it sounds negative, listing the things that did not go well, I also saw a lot of positive things. In many games you did not make such mistakes, which means you do have LIHL potential. You are also very communicative and I think a friendly person. Also you observing LIHL a lot and being involved in the community is a very positive thing. I would suggest to you that you stay involved with LIHL, study the choices people make when building and their build patterns, and I am sure you can be ready for LIHL soon.
You don't stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.
