Is it even possible to beat two tower rooks with two UB on crucible?

June 23, 2009 1:47:35 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Seriously, is it even possible? Assuming they aren't noobs and don't run into your base. All they have to do is build double the towers at the chokepoint, and it's over.

I suppose if they just stood there, or it was a dominate match it might be possible, but this was a fortress and dual Rooks on crucible is murder. Actually, what would be funny is seeing 4 rooks, 2 on each side and both going tower build.

Why should two ub's beat two rooks in a map with one relatively narrow passage? Every demigod can't counter everything, so if you want to counter two rooks on crucible you pick regulus or torch.

Well if he was in pantheon, he doesn't really have a chance to choose the counter to the enemy team.

 

I wonder if two rooks could beat two QoTs who went anti building. Or maybe some torch bearers? Ofcourse erebus can just go around the towers with bat swarm .

I've seen 2 UBs win against 2 rooks + x on a 2v3 crucible conquest pantheon match. No idea how it happened; I didn't participate, just saw the results.

Surely you just focus spit on one of them at the start so they can't get their tower farms up and have to retreat?

It was a skirmish match, therefor random pairings. I had no way of knowning who my opponents (or allies) were going to be. Bad luck there.

I don't get why tower rooks are ever an issue. Just make sure you have lots of armor, and some health and just walk right past them. From all the games I have played, I have yet to have a tower rook issue on any map. Hell, I know its going to be an easy win If I see a towering rook. If you can't get past them, just get a warp stone.

I do believe two UBs can win... but it would be extremely hard...

IMO UB is a bit more of a mid-late game character... you'd need to pump major HP and pump speed items and then work together on one... Although I guess 2 rooks with towers and hammer smash would be pretty hard to beat.... 


Im not gonna say its 100% possible.... but I guess with 2 smart rooks itd be hard as fuck... just depends on your abilities... I think you'd need spit/stun and possibly creep explosion to help farm a bit. Use speed to dance around the flags since rooks cant keep up, always fun having a rook chase .

Work on the weakest rook together, take the tower hits... at start itd be nothing but sitting at towers and trying to level, and knowing 2 rooks your going to get pushed back very far.

Umm itd probly be difficult, and wut? rooks with HoL make me laugh..

 

If you could drag the game out it wouldnt be too hard, towers arent as amazing lategame as they are early

Tried to focus fire on the one with lowest HP, tried rushing, but were always pushed back because of the wall of towers. Twice the rooks, twice the towers. When they reached tower level 3 (12 towers zapping our asses) it was pointless to continue.

Just hold them off dual spitting them/towers till you get items that outclass them and kill them off late game.  Also push them when creep waves hit their towers and are distracted.  There's only one lane so they can't push a side that doesn't have creeps supporting it.  Tower rooks are strong up till like level 14 and then they start becoming irrelevant.  Make sure you don't ignore armor too it's important vs towers.

I've played a 3vs3 on crucible against 3 rooks! We were a TB, a UB, and an AI Oak. We actually won, which was so surprising, because they forced their way almost into our base. I stil don't know how we managed to, not only force them out, but actually then continue pushing into THEIR base and win the match. It wasn't like they had bought priests too early or anything.
