RE: Skeleton army contest
Hmmm I hate to dq people but all I see in this army is a base necromancer being forced into an army as a counter to hoplites ect. and being useful only because your opponent was using expensive champions. You are welcome to resubmit an army (if you still want to after being understandably frustrated) but I am afraid I have to disqualify this army. I can go on further if you want to argue but I feel this explanation is sufficient.
I will hold your 5 rp for 24 hours to give you time to make a new army if you would like.
should be given 12 hours instead on principle lmao
My necromancer was essential in the game though as the skeleton spam in the corner would have killed me had I not used a necromancer, and I used the base skeleton in order to protect my nexus area for over half the game
My point is that the necromancer would be useless in any game not v. skeletons and that the skeleton did nothing a base swordsman couldn't do
Base swordsman can't move backwards or to the side. You're thinking of swordsman+ which is in every way inferior to skeleton base so there'd be no point to use that. Also how is saying my necromancer would be useless in a game without minions a valid point? Does that mean that behemoth is UP because without minions it doesn't do anything? I think you missed the fact that necromancer targets all enemy minions not just skeletons.
The necromancer killed one skeleton then promptly died it was not developed for most of the early and mid game. Only 9% of the total points of this army were skeleton related and were 5% of its functionality which was the entire point of the contest. Elias' army passed due to it upgrading skeletons and running multiple tombstones and necromancers and actually using them as his primary method of killing stuff.
His primary method of killing things was soulkeepers. He could've had twelve more skeletons and no SK and he would've lost by a way higher margin and lost horribly in his other games, because the SKs Made up all the trades that mattered in the games
