Let's talk about our Red Rush strategy...

Message from PReDS:
The thing is, you're engaging in bare theorizing, with which you can pour tons of water for either side and prove nothing. Vic, on the other hand, is referencing many years of experience participating in and running tournaments on the templates being discussed. The principle: "Practice is the criterion of truth" — he didn't invent it.

Why would it be bare? I myself have personally encountered many situations where RR would have been very decisive! Literally in a second, epic games with Scorpiona, Outlaw, and Jebus's events come to mind, as well as many games where I can't recall the opponents off the top of my head right now. This is just a drop in the ocean out of hundreds of games; recalling all the rest, I cannot deceive myself and say that RR wouldn't have decided the outcome, because it would have decided it!

- when playing with control on any of the 7 days, Red risks being attacked without mana, which is usually more important than the weekly growth, and is forced to take this into account in his actions.

I'll let you in on a secret: CONTROL is generally the most pivotal part of the game. We're talking about RR and its absence and this difference. If you're talking about control, give it to both sides to judge fairly.

Vic already wrote earlier that for many years on other sites they played without banning RR and there were no complaints about it.

What complaints have you heard on HeroesWorld in favor of removing RR?

I agree with the rest of your post, but

I won't be baseless if I say that in the Chaos League, on the bay, and in the CIS tournaments listed by Vic, games mostly ended by week 3-4! I won't even bring up games on WT, where the game often ends by the end of week 2. And this is by no means due to RR being allowed. There simply wasn't this habit of "hoarding," and hoarders were killed right at their respawn.

What is happening now on HeroesWorld (I judge again from streams and reports).
Games end on average in month 2!

That is FALSE! I tracked the statistics for the last 2 seasons and some tournaments on HL+U templates, attached the file below. There is no average of month 2! There are 23% of completions in month 2. Of those, about 15% in the 1st week of month 2! So mega-long games (past 217) are around 5-8%!

Games on L templates and even m+u mostly end in week 3! There are no wins in week 2 in SoD in general terms! They are rare (less than 15%, or even 5-10%)

I've already typed out more than a kilobyte of text in over a dozen posts here, justifying my position. But you apparently don't even read them. And if you do read them, you don't bother to comment, just droning on about your April Theses from an armored car.

What are you doing with your eyes? HERE IS THE LINK to the response to your kilobytes, which I read: /topic/7340/
Very curious how else I need to comment for you to notice...

P.S.: I also want to add that prolonged games on HL+U going into month 2 are in some cases related to specific players who played drawn-out matches 4 times, which might indicate a game tactic or a lack of skill in others. I made a slight error in the calculations; the percentage will be closer to 20.
