It's hard to find any diversity in tactics, builds, etc. in Heroes, even after 10 years (?). You can't really add anything fundamentally new, no matter how hard you try.
Tell that to the RTA players, especially Almedeme and Gedikblood. They'll laugh in your face :)
I've already written about this. Learn to read :) But this doesn't mean that it's flawed and boring.
Read my posts about how interesting this kind of gameplay is for viewers and how many people Axel gathers on his streams for TE.
Plus, again, keep in mind that this is a standard game, not TE, and maybe I'll surprise you and turn your world upside down, but in standard, machines often don't carry *ta-da-da-dam, what a twist*.
If you have any doubts about this, I can suggest that you play one or more games in standard mode, where in 95% of cases I will beat your machine player. Although, I agree, there are a number of matches where a machine build plays well, like orc-demon, human-demon, league-orc, etc.
I repeat, you don't need to project the principles of TE onto standard, because these are ideologically different disciplines.
What does this even mean? Like, 'everyone is an idiot except me.' Okay, your opinion is wrong, and everything is exactly the opposite.
That's exactly how it should be understood. It's like if I came into a TE mod discussion and started telling you how you need to play and balance the maps, based on the principles of playing in standard. I would do this, even though I'm not knowledgeable about TE, I'm not a regular there, I'm not a good player, I've only played about 10-15 games in total. In other words, I'm a noob. But you come into the standard game community and try to impose your rules on them, without understanding the specifics and strategies, but acting like a guru and a pro. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's not the case.
But at least I try to argue my position and explain why commentator X is wrong. But a comment like
That's not true. It's a superficial, shallow view. Logisticians and machine players are more common for other reasons, but I won't explain it to you, you won't understand anyway.
is exactly like
'everyone is an idiot except me'
