I really hate AMM games. I really do.
I prefer team games to solo games, because I like the maps, and I like big armies as opposed to guerilla tactics. The problem is, 90% of the people on Bnet (i.e., everyone that isn't a Lurker or AB member) tend to be self-important smacktards. Case in point:
I just recently got my icon for 25 wins with Random, so I decided to go for my next-closest: Orc (3 wins before I started working towards it.)
I entered a 3v3 AMM match (3v3's seem to be the most popular game type), and get paired with Orange (Night Elves) and Yellow (Undead.) I promptly announce (to everyone *slams head into desk*) that I'm going grunts-to-tauren. The other three people taunt me, and I promptly slam my head into the desk. Yellow says he's going fiends/stats, while Orange went with hunts/giants/dryads.
The game proceeds normally, with my team creeping and expanding early, and with the other team apparently doing the same. Orange, who grabbed a DH, found some Sentry Wards and went spying, at which point we found Pink (Night Elves) was massing Archers, Purple (Undead) was apparently off fondling himself (he had a DK and maybe five ghouls, and there were no signs of teching), and Blue was running towards Orange (eep!) with a sizable army of hunts with a Warden.
Being in the center of our side (the map was Dark Forest), I ran my grunts and TC over to orange while orange ferried his DH back. Blue shows up (and gets slaughtered), while Yellow and his rather large army of fiends (complete with an impossibly large CL) TP's in. We launch a counter at Purple (who really must have been having fun in the bathroom, as he still hadn't built much of anything), but are intercepted by Pink. Yellow apparently thinks that having three fiends die is cause enough for retreat, and runs off without telling us. His CL gets gunned down by three golems (creeps) as he retreats. Everyone taunts him.
Orange (who had two giants by this point) and I proceed to slaughter Pink's archers, where, lo and behold, here comes purple with a downright insane army of ghouls and Banshees (!?). Apparently he was off in some corner of the map, creeping like mad, despite calls from his teammates. After slaying some of my grunts, his DK reaches Level 6, kills a giant, and uses Reanimate Dead. Ouch. I TP out with four badly injured grunts and a nearly dead TC, and Orange retreats with his last giant and six or seven hunts. Purple was apparently a retard, because he did not counter, even though he had a clear advantage.
After that battle, everyone resorts to creeping (at least, we did; Purple probably creeped his entire half of the map), except for Purple, who went back to fondling himself. I rapidly tech to Tauren, upgrade my weapons to Level 3 and armor to Level 2, and buy Pillage, Spiked Barricades, and expand again. Orange researches all of the upgrades for his giants and dryads, and visits a Goblin Merchant to buy a few things. Yellow just keeps making fiends and stats, and announces he hit the magic 100. We attack (Purple), and find that both Pink has arseloads of Gryphon Riders, while Blue has Chimaeras. Purple has a lot of Banshees, but somehow forgot to get Master training. We were worried about Possession of our expensive Tauren and Giants (hence, Resistant Skin), but Purple apparently doesn't have a brain.
We weren't worried about air units (and thought pink and blue insane for getting them); after all, Yellow had a huge army of fiends. But! Yellow didn't research Web for them (wtf!?), and our armies die a horrible death, but manage to destroy Purple's town as a consolation prize.
Yellow loses maybe ten fiends, calls us noobs (he was a Level 1, while we were Level 12 and Level 16, respectively), and leaves.
Orange blames the loss of the game on ME, calls me a noob, and leaves.
The other team (Purple, too) call me a noob, and I get bored of their "insults" and leave.
Whee!
