This would be a place for the warriors of Middle Earth to gather and exchange tips, organize 1 vs 1 battles, drink beer, eat beef jerky (warriors are so awesome they can blow bubbles with beef jerky)  and just do manly things like that. There is a lot of talk of warriors being at a disadvantage compared to other classes but I disagree. The warrior is a brutal powerhouse with the most life, most powerful combos, he gets more dangerous the more he is hurt and he just looks the coolest. One of the most satisfying warrior moments I get is when I'm able to jump from a high place, bust a L1 O in the air and come crashing down on some soft pulpy mage. Who doesn't love death from above! So let's talk about all the cool shit warriors are good for.  |

This is a polite request to all warriors.
There are two types of warrior players. One type are those who whine that the other classes are overpowered, warrior always get backstabbed.. The other type are those who claim all other classes are pussies, warrior is the most badass, warriors are the best cause they require a lot of skill.
The whiny type, please do stop it. It gets irritating after a while. We understand that you are prone to being backstabbed. But you have other things going for you as well. And other classes are not always overpowered compared to warrior. You can kill a mage with critical axe and L1+0.
The Gung Ho type. I understand that you feel the need to preach how awesome the warrior is. It stems from the great, badass feeling you have when using the warrior. But that doesn't give you an excuse to slight other classes. You think it doesn't take a lot of skill to get a headshot on a moving target, to get a backstab on a running player, to get out of a situation where 3 mages and a scout attack you simultaneously?

Skill isn't the issue. It usually takes skill to headshot someone, sure. But if you park in some random little sniping hole an entire game and attack people who have absolutely no way of retaliating in any way, you're a pussy.
Yes, it's a legitimate strategy, but so is kicking someone in the balls and throwing sand in their eyes.
The two things don't have to be related.

At starsrcream
I think you have a misguided notion of how archers operate. Most archers actually move around, and are usually in full view of the enemy. What you said is the stereotypical archer player, which is entirely wrong.. Would you like it if I said that the warrior is all about randomly charging into an enemy, and pressing the basic 6 move combo?

Although I wouldn't consider myself great with a warrior, I love using them and play with a fair bit. Although I'd definitly say archer is my best class.

Archers are easier to use then a warrior. that's just the plain and simple fact of it.

It's stereotypical for a reason, because that's how a lot of archers operate.
What you described was how a good archer operates, of which there are few.
What seperates the archer from all the other classes is this: A mage, warrior, and scout all have ways to counter their attacks and have to get relatively close to you to use them, meaning you can counteract them. Archers are the only class that have the ability to go find some glitchy little corner somewhere and kill people from the other end of the map with absolutely nothing they can do to counter it. It's the only class that ALLOWS you to be a complete little pussy, and enough people exploit that to make the whole class leave a bad taste in my mouth, because I play games for fun and don't see what's fun about virtually hiding in a corner for 20 minutes.
Some maps and modes are almost completely unplayable if you want to be anything but an archer. Pelennor Fields TDM is the best example, but Minas Morgul CTR and pretty much any game of Hero TDM work too. You should be able to realistically play what you want to play in any map, but people with this mindset make it impossible.
Now, some of the best players are archers, and they do what they do without resorting to all that bullshit. Why? Because they know if they're a pussy archer, some other pussy archer is going to find their precious little hiding spot and do it back to them. Or maybe they just aren't douchebags, either way.
Not all archers are pussies, but a lot of them are.

Hey DEMON, I remembered recently while in CTR Minus Morgal when I became the witch king and you said BURNZILLA FIGHT! I didn't know you meant for me to attack you, I thought you were just cheering me on ;D I would love to continue out conversation in a less distracting environment. I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Burn I think that was bc you changed classes, but I dont remember. Clock joined and fucked it all up.
Srini - archers are fun but boring, The thing is when you join a room and there all warriors even if you suck at a warrior try it. That on thing that happen were in a room playing with swords then someone will pick a archer to try to get sneak kills. Its just gay.
