McClain knew that villager was too OP so he friendly fired him to make the game more competitive too. Classic McClain!

T90 thanks for these low elo games. Am Fatslobs age 72 and had stopped playing due to becoming frustrated in my inability to micro manage. These games helped remind me to just go have fun playing. Keep presenting reminders like these to that effect! Once again thanks for all you do!

I ironically found your channel just today watching low elo gameplay, watched both of the McLain videos and peed myself a couple of times laughing, and couldn’t be happier with the timing of this McLain update

You have no idea how happy I am to see the return of McClain.

The ancient legend of McClain and Abel

McClain is beyond legendary. He realized right away that ELO means nothing in tournaments and so has forgone ranked entirely no different than any other top 100 player to focus exclusively on how to best people in tournament settings. Truly the hero we all deserve and need

I'm not sure how Age Does it, but in a lot of games, "unranked" is still secretly keeping an MMR for the players so that absurd matchups don't occur. I know that this is the case in Rocket League at least.

Always delightful to watch LEL, McClain had so many times in which I thought "he's dead" but, he came back from death!!! Also, yeah, I have a duo with whom I play 2v2v2v2s who always starts the games with a "I'm ready for you to save me" so @ 36:09 God damnit picea

Hats off to your editor for the epic illustration of Mcain's past exploits with cannon galleons

That edit was pure gold

Being the kid who read the whole manual because i loved the italicized history facts under all the units and research definitions. It amazes me that so many people still don't know what certain researches do. Especially with the roll-over mouse help activated. But I also don't play super competitively either haha

Oh nice! Welcome to our newest legend!

An emotional roller coaster of hope and despair. At this moment, I both love and hate you T90.

Buddy, loved the reproduction, keep us updated and informed about McClain's legendary career... I'll be following... and the other official tournaments of course

30:30 T90Offical:"Range you say? Trebuchet"😂😂

I think a neat idea for a game/series would be to take a random game state of a LEL game and have two pros finish it out. You only have 30 vills at the hour mark, but also 4 layers of fortified walls and have experienced zero pressure from your opponent.

Bruh this man knocks me out cold in like 10 minutes every night 😂 much love.

thanks for the edit! its spot on!

As an aside, low elo and mid elo are my favorite content. Wacky strategies too. Pro games are interesting, but there's already so much content from those players.

That thumbnail is insane

This looked like that Metapod VS metapod fight on Pokemon

the wonder edit just had me dying of laughing. top tier :D :D

I was really pulling for McClain, made my night seeing him get the W. I hope if people ever reach out to him the don't do it in an overly patronizing manner or troll him. Hopefully McClain takes it in stride if they catch on to these vids and you guys become buds. Maybe McClain being a cohost shoutcasting will break viewership records, lol

This McClain series is really coming into fruition. Lol I have to say that I very much look forward to watching these McClain videos

i really wonder whats going on in McClaines mind. I think after about 10-20 games of losing like he usually is, i'd be like "you know what. maybe there's a guide on youtube"

This makes me feel a lot better about my own play.

19:07 this is exactly the way I would be playing an RTS multiplayer! Very relatable. I laughed so hard at this

Love Hardy cartoons

The persistence in making Malay Cavalier omegalul

The t90Bro challenge was so fun, almost as fun as the co-op.

I remember the team game. It was on stream and McClains Teammate got Tower rushed. McClain was low on vills and helped his teammate at his base. The other team build a wonder and McClain took his Canon Galleys and attacked the other team and finally killed the wonder, before he got destroyed at home 11

I only ever play Quick Play 2s, 3s and 4s. T90 once said you have a 50/50 chance winning a game in ranked against your own elo. We prefer to be surprised by the skill level, you never know what to expect. It's especially fun when you come up against people who are slightly worse than you so they put up a fight but you can still flex on them a little lol

@BayWa4eva

4 ай бұрын

50% on average. actually it depends on your elo. since your elo change depends on the opponents' elo and your own elo is mostly stable that means your winrate is adjusted to the bell curve. mid elo is about 50%, high elo is higher, low elo lower. if your elo is 1000 and the most players have 1100 while only a couple have 900 then you'll fight 1100 more often than 900. with 50% winrate in this situation you would steadily climb to 1100 (you gain more per win than you lose per defeat).

epic animation from the editor. loved the vid. would have enjoyed the wonder even more. Otto FTW

Lack of patrol lost him those fights… he kept just sending elephants and was clicking units so they weren’t attacking

haven't binge watched your channel for maybe 2 years now, good to return with some fatslob and more low elo games

I found ur channel a couple days ago through the 6 elo game and im here for mclain

YESSSS YESSSS THE MESSIAH IS BACK!!!!!!! I ASK DAYS AND WEEKS FOR HIS RETURN AND HE IS FINALLY BACK HALLELUJA!!!!!!!!!!

I would love wonder and relic victory to be featured as an option similar to choosing maps. Maybe we can vote on one alternative winning strategy and we have the option to star or ban it at the same time we do it to maps.

Finally this fine gentelman is back on track

If you made an entire channel for McClain, I would definitely support the patreon for it 😂

Hardy is the best part of this video. You're doing your best Hardy.

A good improvement from the last I saw him. That 13 population was hard to watch but he's good at fights, not at economy.

I for one would absolutely love the return of bro channel content-- I can't believe its been FOUR YEARS!?

The placement of that monastery is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in an aoe2 game

hidden cup V is where its at. Can't get enough of it.

A civilisation that devoted everything to the workers and the people, with universities that educated for the sake of education. All beliefs were tolerated such that holy relics were left unprotected, and yet undefaced and unmolested. A place where peace was so pure that the only weapons forged were in the act of demonstration of complex science, or to allow the weaker men parade as low grade horsemen. Not even one of these men was considered expendable; the poorest of troops would be microed to survival, to live - all for one. This civilisation was stormed by the hordes; a people with no values or curiosity beyond gunpowder and aggression. As the grand walls and gates fell, one final trebuchet was pinned to a corner against the wall. He and his engineer brethren had pummelled dozen of barbarians in the last line of defence, but he was the final one. Now there were only the workers left to survive, so dedicated to their crafts that they had simply continued replenishing lumber camps throughout the siege. The trebuchet fell, finally, with the satisfaction that his delay would save his people. Now, they had developed a weapon; their science would save them. He watched the first, proud bombard tower build to completion on the horizon as the final drop of HP bled from his timbers.

for some reason in both AoE 2DE and the other AoE 2 i have on steam, my trebs do not auto attack... ever... and idk how to fix it. i don't click any hotkey to make them do anything other than pack/unpack. but beyond that, they just sit there unless i click on units....

THE Legend himself

We have actually seen a McClain win before. At the end of the 60 Elo video you showed the one win you could find in his history. There he used Spanish cannon galleons to scare his opponent into surrendering.

I play QP mostly, because comp is scary, and I lose a lot by relic victory. I miss the countdown and usually get surprised by the loss, or I just can't get into their base to get the relics. I absolutely hate it!

Gotta love how a player has all this area he chopped out of the wood that the other player isn't going anywhere near and he has a light cav setup with 20k wood and like 10k food in the bank and he doesn't just decide to make a handful of stables up there and mass a huge blob of cav

GG Always fun to watch LEL. 😎

Props to the editor for improvising the lost game that suddenly came to T90's mind mid match. Lol

The moment we've all been waiting for!

Agreed about the relics and wonders!!

McClain is A Legend!!!! I love Him From The First Time we saw him on the stream 😊

came for the content, liked because you are a fellow serious sam enjoyer

Holy shit, these battles between them hurt my eyes 🙈

Imagine being McClain's opponent, having done anything you could to defend yourself, and realizing that McClain crushed you with only 5% of their power !

McLean is the Chris Chan of AOE2

When I hear the name "McClain" I imagine a mix between John McLane and Macaulay Culkin (as he was in Home Alone ofc)

Some day, in the next few years, McClain will find these videos... Hi McClain, BIG FAN

Red gives off big Stronghold player vibes

What if relic victory and wonder victory were enabled for mega random in ranked play

I hope there will be more updates on him. Mcclane is the Legend of Legends😊
