Why do you prefer the old patch? It has more imbalanced matchups, Mordor and Men dominate and theres a heap of useless upgrades & heroes(gandalf, dro, faramir to name a few). I think perhaps once you come face to face with something like Mordor vs Dwarves, or Men vs Goblins you'll realise how frustrating 2.06 is.

 

Just my two cents, dont really care what you play. Just think theres a huge amount of hindsight bias going on here. 

i have tested both patches and actually prefer 1.07 over 2.06. Bad mus  seem to be more balanced than in 2.06.

I havent played vs a human becoz no1 plays any of these patches  but i`d recommend to play the 1.07 patch at least.

 

 

Cool so basically your reasoning for 2.6> 1.07 is because theres one faction slightly out of balance, Goblins.

 

And of course the fact that in 2.6 there is a whole list of terrible matchups, not to mention terrible units,makes it a far better patch. There it is folks kids complaining for the sake of something to whinge about.

 

Heres 2.6

 

Dwarves> Mordor

Men>Goblins

Men>Isen

Mordor>Elves

Mordor>Goblins

Men>Elves

 

All of these were fixed for 1.07, with 'gobs being too strong in 2v2'. 

 

And Etch Mordor was way stronger in 2.6, I dont know what the fk you are talking about. DId you actually read the changelog? Orc warriors and Orc Archers got nerfed. Mordor is completely out of control in 2.6 and your saying their better in 1.07? wow... Goblins are the only faction who are slightly ahead at the moment, if at all. Dwarves are still stronger than Goblins tho.

 

Soo, feel free to play 2.6, its totally rad.  EVem this AIzen guy who is new can see the truth, you guys are raging over one faction when 2.6 has way worse crap to deal with.

do it, i want to help u, but i need to see you in gr first

 

i have been playing a lot 1.6... and mordor archers are not poop(horde honus is op :p), they just have a small range, and goblin archers tbh as  2.6 they were ok.

 

with that change on goblin structures  and upgrates, they are not a poop vs mordor/motw/dwwarf anymore
