orc don't have weakness other than 3 3 griffins, their winning rate proved it.

ud: hard to expand, DK run out of health fast and can't heal, most units and heros are weak and most of them too expensive, heros run out of mana alot, horrible when facing harrasment, have no way to stop escaping enemy outside other than nova or ice wurm, don't have very efficient way of taking down building or tanks without suffering huge losses.

ne: early harrasment hurts them a lot, wells runs out fast late game, units don't recover health during the day, sucks ass on maps without taverns, crappy towers, very weak units, worst air, have the most useless units, need to buy a lot of extra stuff for their strategies to work nowadays.

hum: almost all units are slow, weak, and have very low dps before tier 3, upgrades requires too much resources, low hp, need expansions to carry out almost every strategy, slowest tech speed, heros are either too slow or too fragile, get harrased a lot have have to spend a lot on towers, least popular race due to all the bashing and the difficulty of tier 2 strategies.

ok ty for now back i think ill keep get more specific information,#2 ty 4 now and just know that orc have weaknesses... they have 3.... :
1.Borrows-when oppoenent kills ur borrow its rly hurts the defence and the food supply.
2.Anti-magic force-for orc its rly hard to battle vs spellcasters such Human spellcasters and Talons too,and orc don't have any magic immune unit,but orcs have the best dispell (Orb of lightning,purge and disanchantment).
3.vs Air-orc aren't good vs air,they don't have heavy air units at all and most of the times its hard for orc,only bats are the best to get inside the picture in an air battle.

itsRaining-

orc's weakness : burrows & anti casters, (maybe the fact that they dont have heavy air units)

elf's weakness : hard to counter lame, air units

hum's weakness : often needs expansion to win, but then again its pretty easy to make expo, basicly the need for towers @ base to stop continuous harrassing of workers.

ud's weakness : hard to counter lame, expanding is hard/expensive, acolytes, IMHO its pretty hard to counter full air armies like mass gryph/gyro/hawk or mass wyw/(bat).

#3 ya, it was humans that won over 90% tourneys last year, and human units move so fast right? god footman, rifleman, casters, motors, they all run like windwalking blademaster. Seriously how could you possibly compare ghoul to footmans? can footman farm wood or do they have amazing synergy with hero or awsome upgrades?
#4 by slowest tech speed i meant they always tech last, ud and ne always rush to tier3 and orcs only need tier 2, does human do that or do they expand?
#5 casters are not that big of a deal anymore, orcs have more that 50% winnnig rate against both human casters or dotts, the new mixed orc army is just not that weak to magic with only a few grunts and tauren chief makes all casters cry. bats are amazing, nobody dare to use air units against orc other than 33 griffins, burrows can attack, that kind of makes up for it

Funny how this topic turned into a "whine my race is the worst" rant...

Stating that orc has no weaknesses like cooldonkey is flat out retarded and just proves that him (and others aswell) have nothing to say but to whine about how their race has the most weaknesses and how the others have none.
The only purpose of this topic would be to talk about something unique for each race that is a weakness that they are intentionally ment to have and which can be exploited often to win vs an often better player than yourself. A good example is undead ziggurat: Zigs are the only farm building in the game that can be blowed up by just 1 sapper. Thats a nice thing to know and its something that can really turn a game around.

Anyways on to the weaknesses

Orc: Burrows are a major weakness of orcs. They are by far the most vulnurable farm building of all while also providing the worst base defense of all 4 races. Another weakness is that all orc units are fat, meaning that they all have the same collision size as a hero. This makes closing your base extreme effective against orc aswell as making their units easy to surround.

Hu: They have no effective way to heal up their heroes in t1 if there are no mercs. Other than that they dont have many weakness... they are the hardest race to get an "easy win" vs.

Elf: They have the worst tower in the game. Its practically useless and that makes their base defense weak vs air harras. They are 100% dependant of a tavern (this is not really an issue anymore since all league maps have taverns)

Ud: Undead's worst weakness are their goldmining acolytes. They are very vulnurable and combined with the fact that undead cant replace them during tech makes it even more crucial that you dont lose them. I already talked about the zigs. Undead has no way to effectively heal their dk in t1.

I think that I know all of the weaknesses :) ty all for the information :)
and i think that orcs by #7's comment that orcs don't have really a big problem to buff their weaknesses :) i think that for me a good orc is an orc who can defend his borrows good,that knows what to do vs Spellcasters and that knows how to face players in an air battle.

ty a lot guys :)

#8 I thought that the damage dealt by the sapper is reduced by the armor, which must mean that after 1.22 zigs cannot be demolished by one sapper anymore or perhaps I am wrong? If that is the case, then what is the purpose of increasing their armor?

Well thats because hes the only one that knows how to play the game, talking here.

Human weaknesses are the T3 Castle with lv 3 Mansory upgrade, it only has 4000 hp, and some misarable armor.

#2 you are such a comedian. No wait you are a god cuz u play the slowest race ever with the shittiest units in game. U have to be really bad to say orcs have no weakness beside gryphs being a human player.

i think its like this orc>>ud>ne>orc and then hu=orc hu=ud and hu<ne

it all depends on maps aswell and > doesent mean imbalance its just a slight advantage, but >> is imbalance so we have 1 really imba matchup which makes ud the weakest race

Guys.
Orcs have plenty of weaknesses.
The pros of playing Orc is that they have very powerful t1 units, like grunts and headhunters.

But when they increase in tier, they get some cool casters and stuff - but they don't really have any air. You have to micro your raiders alot around to ensare all of the air units without getting killed.

What I do when I play orc, is that I go 2x barracks, spam grunts and headhunters and rush his base before he gets to tech to t2.

Usually works, because of Orc's strong t1 units.

Shamans, Doctors, etc. are awesome, but they first get their real power in t3.
