Wall (shelt, fruit, rc) walking

Postby Sat » Thu Dec 12, 2013 7:23 pm

People sometimes switch it up whilst ww'ing, popping some rcs and fruits at odd intervals. Is there a reason behind this? I suppose at bigger chokepoints a 2x2 block would not cut it and it would require 3x3 or 4x4, but I've seen people do this out in the open more than anything. Does the size of the building in this context affect the titan's behaviour?

Any other tips are appreciated.

I do it just to troll. I'd also say that it makes it harder for the titan to predict the moves.

It jumps you further ahead making it harder for the titan to keep up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most people can wall walk faster than they can RC walk.

Imo depends if your a builder who builds into their structures(mak, arch, nat... etc) then its going to be a challenge for the titan to keep up but if your a builder who builds outside(tauren, demo, mag... etc) then it may be fast to use regular walls to ww.

what? people use walls vs. rcs because often when the titan is following walls are the smallest and easiest to place in case the titan moves somewhere (if close behind, harder to build rc except at choke)

rc/fruit is used as chokepoint, for trolling or plain variety

for sheep tagging obv building fruits/rc is more effective than building more than 1 wall, i don't see how it is faster to build more than 1 thing when you can make do with 1 unless you plan to complete the walls (in which case it is no longer really sheeptagging)

RC walking is faster distance per second, it is recommended for any builder that is already at the bot-left of the titan. Titan would be impossible to catch if this is the case.
