You could always just give yourself levels so that doesn't happen. =P Of course, that would be cheating.

[AntyCrix 591]

To tell the truth, if I had started playing Warcraft before competitive CS:GO I'd probably be playing Warcraft all the time.

 

I don't like Warcraft.

[centran 4457]

[Ryziou 538]

[Ika 320]

protip, war3 makes you really bad at this game

[ElectronicDrug 7496]

problem is I don't really know what to do. I figured I could just play normally and pick it up as I go along but instead I just get raped by shit I don't understand.

It makes you good at having fun though!

You really won't have too much fun until you get some levels on a race. Then it becomes easier to get kills and make it seem like "fair" competition. Find a race you enjoy and just try to level it up. OR GIVE YOURSELF LEVELS.

war3help, also type raceinfo to find out more about races and what they do and skillsinfo for info on your current race's skills. You're still shooting bad guys, there's just a lot more going on with people flying around and stuff. There's just a lot to take in at once, but if you play for a few hours you will get the hang of it. Run away from the zombie looking thing / anyone that is colored and holding a knife out. Also, watch out for nades (crit nades can insta kill you) and sometimes people will blow up on death, or use abilities through walls (chain lightning, entangling roots).

 

Edit: I liked to play undead when I started out on warcraft 3 mod back in 1.5/1.6, pretty straight forward, no need for binds, move fast, jump high, get hp back when you do damage, blow up on death.

 Not necessarily. I would argue it overtrains me for comp and I notice after a 1 hour session in wcs, I do so much better in comp because everything in wcs is exaggerated.

 

For example, my aim. In wcs, you have people with 1.3 speed and an ak47 peeking at you. Trying to get a headshot on people this fast is quite hard especially if it's constant lateral movement ( Spamming A and D with a p90). Then, when I get into comp, it's like my mind sees normal 1.0 speed as extremely slow and it suddenly becomes easy to pick up headshots.

 

Maybe Josh plays a different style that gets him killed constantly. I find that a defensive, reserved, and positional style of gameplay suits me best in wcs and in comp.

much like with dota, you need to learn what all the heroes / items do in order to get a full sense of any given scenario in war3. you will stumble until that point, but maxing one of the original races (elf, human, orc, undead) will make it much easier to get a grasp of things before that happens

[Ichalvl 1752]

Surf makes you really bad at Csgo.

You get used to hopping around with long jump and more oh and this and that and it's so fucking different from comp

(But way better)

The only aspect that wcs makes me better at the game is rushing with an awp. Quick/noscopes are brutal if done correctly, and I never fail to amaze teammates in comp when I awp rush when normally in comp you're supposed to play defensively with an awp.

 

In general though, wcs will make you worse at the game. Many races have over 100 health, some hit 200 easily. With armor, normally you'd need to score 1-2 headshots to kill someone with 100 health. Double that and that equals 2-4 headshots. Not only that, many races (and claws of atk) give bonus damage. These two facts combined mean you want to put as many bullets in your opponent as possible so while you do aim for headshots, the majority of the time you're gonna wanna spray while aiming at the guy's feet: yielding chest shots. Ideally you wanna get as many headshots in with the spray, but aiming is hard.

[MrCoolness 547]

just play orcish horde and save money to buy a respawn in case your respawn didn't proc. Most of the time that gets you 3 lives a round (which is more than enough lives to have fun!)

 

protip, !respawn_spawn

[centran 4457]

You want me to make you a special race so you don't die as easily?

He just needs ranger of the woods and he'll outlive most people by default.
