Hello everyone... while I have some time, I'll write a few words... I consider myself a weak player... even a very weak one (but not a newbie). I say this because I've played against some of the strongest opponents, not just in my city or region, but in the country. I've communicated with them via messages. I thought I was a pro at Heroes, but it turns out I'm not just a small fish in a big pond... I haven't even been born yet! Well, never mind, that's not the point.
In tournaments, I play fairly, not for the sake of winning, but simply for the sake of participating. I know that I'm not going to win anyway, because the people who are seriously involved in this spend a lot of time studying all the maps and developing strategies in advance. So, in a way, the online experience turns into (or mixes with) the offline experience, and these are completely different things. Since I consider myself more of an online player (although I've also come to love offline play), I honestly enjoy it when both opponents are on equal footing and don't know what map they'll be playing on, who they'll be playing as, or where anything is located. That's my favorite kind of game, like a blitz chess match.
I don't like having 6 minutes per turn, as is sometimes the case in serious tournaments. These 6 minutes for the first turn can easily turn into 30-40 minutes, and then even longer.
I've never agreed to "let's save the game and finish it later" (on small maps).
Anyway, I'm rambling again. After reading everything, I have a few questions:
1. Why, after the tournament has started and even after a game has been played, do we start talking about the rules, voting, and making changes? We've been playing for months, and before signing up for the tournament, I think everyone has read the rules and could have expressed their opinion about whether to play or not, and whether to make changes.
2. Since I'm a noob, lol, and I don't understand much of the slang, and I haven't played in a long time, and I'm too lazy to look it up, I'm not afraid to ask: what is a "red rush"?
3. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I have favorite heroes. So, I mainly play with them. And in different versions of Heroes, they have slightly different names. So, I still don't understand who I can choose, who I can't, what I can build, and what I can't. Could you at least provide a list of the heroes that are banned? I'll print it out and hang it on my monitor, and every time I'm about to choose a hero, I'll check this list.
4. Sorry for writing so much nonsense here. I'm just out of touch with what's going on. Maybe everything has changed a long time ago, and I'm still living in the 90s, when I first started playing Heroes and there were no complications. And I STILL LOVE THIS GAME. Thank you all in advance for reading everything I've written
