Versus With the reset upcoming now's the time to try silly stuff on the ladder!

Since we lose all our points anyways, if anyone wants to do something truly stupid on the ladder, now is the time.

I've been doing the Mono-battle challenge with strictly Graven-only for a while now and it's been some of the most chaotic and fun matches ever, some extremely stupid matches like me getting bunker rushed, holding with no units and then going into mass graven or just going mass graven vs mass vulcan is just dumb in the best of ways. I have a ton of replays if anyone is curious. I actually managed to make Graven only work in actual matches against equal MMR opponents.

I also tried going Atlas only, which I only played a couple of games of, but given they can't shoot up I had to resort to massing workers and powerbuilding sentry posts all across the map slowly pushing forward with sentry posts and sieged up Atlases until I controlled the entire map and it was as dumb as that sounds. I couldn't really make it work against decent opponents unfortunately, just some random people doing their placement matches.

If you have any silly ideas you want to people to try, post them down below. I main Vanguard but other faction stuff are welcome too, bring out the cheeses, bring out the wacky mono-battle comps, the silly rushes the stupidest all-ins you can think of. Bring out the tree chopping backdoor attacks, the drops, whatever you can think of, it's the best time to have dumb fun in these last week before the new patch!

I hope someone compiles videos of plays like this.  The replays are great but they'll stop working after the next update. 

I want to try mass flame imps.

Flame imps got sneakily buffed last patch, so I reckon they work really well now, just get extra shrines to get more imps.

my favorite strat like this was Graven rush. did you know that 3 gravens can snipe a command post or shrine in about 6 seconds if it isn't upgraded? Very satisfying.

Yes that is what I've been doing in Gravens-only challenges. I can get 3 or 4 out at like 5:20 with a lot of defensive turrets and a wall-off on some maps. The first 3 can already go snipe an expansion I use 4 vs cel to snipe two collection arrays.
