What do u think about rushing?

Rushing = attacking an opponent before either of you has had much time to tech or build armies.

Personally, I love to rush. Whenever I don't want a long game with multiple heroes and all of that, I rush. My favorite rush is with Night elf archers and the Demon Hunter hero, because archers build fairly fast. I always fail at rushing with orc, unless I am in a 2v2, which involves both of us rushing with orc. When it comes to Undead, I can't figure out whether it is better to get lots of gouls or to take a little more time for the crypt fiends... I also have two different human rushes, one with footmen and mage hero and the other with a mass of peasents at the very beggining

For rushing I don't think it matters as long as you've got a build down if i'm going to rush with orc I'm likely to throw in a few towers as distractions. I'm most comfortable rushing with ne because I played only ne for a couple years so I've got the build down great, as far as ud go for rushing the best is ghouls and dl with vamp aura. preferable to get lvl 2 so you can sleep hero as well

[Prepare2Lose]

I don't find sleep very effective because all your opponent has to do is make one unit hit the hero... Agree with vamp aura though!
Do you use archers or huntresses for your ne rush?

i still dunt understand wat's rush

[Prepare2Lose]

Rushing is basically when you go in and attack someone before either of you have any time to tech. So your basically attacking about 2 minutes after your opponent finishes creating a hero. Here is an example of an Orc Burrow rush. He just went straight in and started attacking his opponent before even 1 footmen was built. View the example here.

So I watched the video and saw some errors in it, great to watch but it won't work against someone that knows what they are doing, that kind of rush would be best vs night elf but human could have just milita from beginning wiped out the burrows and then charged the base. As far as tower rushing goes I like to attack one base with my team in a rush and although its difficult to rush sometimes i'll take my two peons and tower behind another enemy base and by the time the first rush is over there are bout 4 towers ready to guard for the next rush and whipe up. of course this is easily countered because many people are not experienced with handling tower rushes and by this I mean if the enemy is good they will creep most of the map while you are destroying the one base and the towerer has to finish the towers in order to completely whipe out the other side, so by the time the base is gone you find yourself all level 2-3 hero while the enemies are both at 6 and you are left with confused allies about how it all went wrong. so the trick to that is simple have your allies pressure a second base while you are towering and its a sealed deal or have them creep like mad around where you are towering so as to rush over quickly once the enemy tries to save the base one last time. or if the enemies are inexperienced they will try to save the base till the last possible second.

[Prepare2Lose]

Yes, good rushing technique. I don't like to rush a whole lot with allies, so I don't really need to think about the fact that the other player is creeping while you rush one of them. I guess it depends on the type of game your playing and how experienced your opponent(s) is.

Does offensive towering count as rushing? When you build towers until you're into the enemy's base and you SHOULD win..

[Prepare2Lose]

Yeah, I would consider that rushing. Unless you start to do it like 30 minutes into the game...

[xyz9999]

Well I suck at rushing so I never do it
