The Future is Dark
Well, it is "almost" a click bait, but it contains some truth afterall!
A few years back I did challenge myself to play 100 matches with Dwarfs in order to get my positiongame a boost. It was a real drag but I think I actully got slightly better in the subject, but then again, I could not get any worse.
However, I still lack some things and I dont have any hope in getting to the top in the foodchain since I probobly only have (top) 50 years to do so, it is just not enough time to get there!
But, the thing I feel I lack the most is using the agility part of the game. Dodging, passing etc etc. I think Im somewhat up to date with how to bash, but the dash is just out of my league.
So why not try to challenge myself to play some elfs? Exactly! But I have to do so as easy as I can by playing as bashy as possible or just get as frustrated as I did get with the dwarfs at times, so the only elf I really can see myself have a go at, is the dark elfs!
They have av8, and I think I will need that or just get annihilated when/if I try to mark players as I often do when I play orcs f.ex.
I think it will take a few years to go through with this project but, atleast I have something to do when I get to the retirement home!
See you in the box, probobly late friday/saturday! :)

Awesome! You should consider joining E.L.F. metagame, there's not a lot of box players in there, and since you'll be playing lots of different teams you may rack up some good points! But darkies aren't great at the passing game, don't even have proper catchers... and witch elves break oh-so-easily before you get some skills on them (and later :)... still my favorite elves are dark.

Dark elves are good but coaching them well is a bit tricky.
If you want easy mode and a bit less tricky, i would recommend you to create also a high elf team and after playing with both, see which is your favourite.

Dont listen to those 2, get a woodies team, best way to learn is to break while playing em, go for the 1rr build with a thrower, catcher and both dancers, best way to move away from bash is to be unable to last the game if you do so! Gl regardless of your decission

Pro elves are the best. Learn to elf the Pro way

Join E.L.F for sure.
With DE you will likely just end up playing them as bash. I don’t think you will learn as much. I would suggest trying pro or wood elves.

Hmm, It seams as I have to check out the ELF´s then!
I agree in that in order to go fully into the playstyle of agility the other teams would be better but Im not so sure I will have the mental stamina to go through with a 100 games with just passing and running away from the opposition, so I think the dark side is a little step into the the elf style without go to far from where I come from and still being able to use dodge instead of block all the time.
And thanks for everyones input!
