This is a banal degradation of the community and the death of the game itself. The forum is practically dead; now, this is the only more or less active topic left. Since online play has moved to lobbies and HotA.
It's actually funny to watch all this. We used to play online only in computer clubs, then we started playing offline on forums, competing for the fastest Walkthrough, and then, with the advent of affordable internet, online play started again, with a very cool surge. And now, here on the forum, online play has practically died out, moving to various Twitch streams and HotA lobbies. And on the forum, only this topic with single-player map Walkthroughs remains. It's like some kind of spiral development.
And the players, I don't know where they've been hiding, like mammoths from the Ice Age; maybe they only got internet access in some remote area near Krasnoyarsk. They think that using such bugs is okay, and it's actually a method, not a bug "use everything you can," "not everyone knows about them." Ahah, oh my god.
It's just facepalm-inducing; where were you 10-15 years ago when there were cool offline Tournaments with map Walkthroughs, which were held here and on HeroeSportsPortal. People didn't do such things; there was real skill!

I remember being very impressed by players like DmitriyAS. He probably doesn't play anymore, but the memory remains.
TitleI wanted to write this post a week ago, but I was just too lazy.


And now, he gathers a powerful army and immediately goes for the damsels
No, it's not a degradation; it's just experimental Walkthroughs in a crazy format. In this thread, they play and discuss things that no one even dreamed of in the early 2000s. Now, the task is simply to complete the map, not to complete it faster than someone else, simply because the maps are now many times more complex, and just completing them is already an achievement.
