3.4k rank in classic 18k frogs

[Galemattias]

Hello! Are these rankings based on the dota 2 version because its almost impossible to improve. I have 780k score and am 3.4k rank. What do you think can be expected of this score?

Honestly not much, before the cheating began, in the Dota 2 version 3m with a benchmark of a few thousand separated the top ten; then people started cheating and you see crazy scores now. Realistically there are two fundamental approaches to getting there: 

 

1st method

picking 3 elements and taking them to level 3 and using the final two points for a 4th element taken to level 2, there are different builds and options for this.

 some of the more popular ones are:

 

massing gold towers upgrading them as needed, and saving until the first boss wave and then building a lot of level 3 single element towers.

 

going for nature water light with some selling on certain key levels to upgrade key towers to prevent leaks, relying on life towers to prolong your lives.

 

doing a trickery tower strat with hail towers maximizing the range of the hail towers and upgrading them as needed with level three ices towers for slowing

 

2nd method

utilizing six elements with different building strategies: 

 

one of each element and and level 2 light and dark for better trickery towers and using remaining lumber to purchase periodic towers, I believe you get four with this method and can make any tower you want with them which opens a lot of possibilitie.

 

one of each element and level 3  in two specific elements allowing you to spend one additional lumber on a periodic tower or get one other element to level two which also has many options.

 

these are obviously not the Only strategies available just the most common ones you will see in videos and while playing with others online, beyond the usual people who have no idea what they are doing and just make random stuff with no clear idea how to maximize what they are building. There are also other strategies for speed for higher early scores but suffer later and don’t get very far on frog waves. Strategies that use interest gold, strategies that use specific tower interactions, strategies that rely on slows, strategies that rely on level 4 elemental towers, etc. 

 

ultimately dont worry about about your score on the global scale, the global scoreboard is full of cheaters and it’s been proven several times that because of the scaling health even if you went into god mode, filled the map with nothing but the best towers, you still could not end up with the scores those people achieved on the leaderboard in the levels they “supposedly” got to. The developers have already stated they have no intention of fixing the bugs that allow the illegitimate scores that are already up there because they are focusing on the new element TD 2 stand alone game, which is supposed to be easier to program and fix the kind of bugs that allow the current cheats in this version. If you really want to beat a score just keep experimenting and trying to beat your own:)

Continued along the lines of building towers. I achieved a new score of 900k and I'm now 0.3% on the 1.17 version.

These scores are actually valid compared to all the toplist ones who where cheaters in 1.16!
