ive asked in other forum sites before but i was just wonderin what this community thought on this, when i originally asked this in the other communities i went for human, but after playing NE i have come to believe they as a race if you were to get three heros ultimates they would present the greatest threat how bout u guys

NE probably have like the best (usefull) ultimates as a race with the Humans close behind them in 2nd, in third would be the Orcs and UD would take up the last place.

last place? I dont think so.
Animate dead is pretty cool in battle..invulnerable units????
Locust swarm makes the crypt lord an even bigger tank
Death n decay is good for enemy bases
and Inferno is cool too...it takes ist place in my opinion...
Orcs should be last...Cause earthquake slows units, but its better against buildings...Big bad voodoo is bad cause every unit targets the SH and poof. down he goes....
Bladestorm is great, but like most ultimates it can be countered easily. (storm hammer, impale....)
Ressurection is cool too, but all together, i think orcs are last.
Humans have decent ultimates, even mass teleport, though under appreciated, is great.
NE ultimates, exept for metamorphosis, rely on a strong supporting force...otherwise the heroes are sunk.
but in the end i think that no race has "best" or worse...it all depends apon the situation, and laos on the skill of the player.
but im just a noob..what do i know? :tu:

None of the races really have an overwhelmingly useful set of ultimates. It's usually one good and one mediocre ultimate per race, with the other two being too limited affect gameplay much. Add into that the fact that games are usually decided before any players get ultimates. The ultimates just seal the victory. I'd have to go with Humans having the best ultimates though, as they're all useful most of the time, and only one is channeled.

undead have the worst, except for inferno. but people even want taht nerfed :/ funny how dls ultimate is better than dnd, ad and ls all combined.
now the real question is, whos ultimate is the best?
I got use to NE, but Undead has been a really killer lately since I got use to playing it.

AD is cool but lasts only 60 sec or so.. Ill have 6 knightst back at full health any day.
i think hu has the best, tele is soo annoying wen played rite and phoenix is a terror for everyone and avatar is cool but far less powerful though..
too bad i play ud

Its all up to personal preference how you statagize every race has it speaks and valleys but in my opinion orcs would be last with ud and human close together at 1st its hard to decide and i hate ne but have to admit they have some good ultimate techniques. I hate those mass hunts :p
I'm going to go with Night Elf. Metamorphosis can be argued as the most useful Ultimate in the game. Sfall levels bases, and is pretty damn useful against armies too. AoV (NE's worst, in my opinion) can be good in large army battles especially when you need to balance out the numbers a little. Tranquility is really good, that short-ass cooldown is sick. And the whole healing part is pretty good too lol.

AD sucks, yes six invulnerable units are awesome except when u realize that they are peasants t.t and swarm is decent, infernal is good, and d&d is a good base killer
i recently played a game with a properly used mass tele and let me tell u it was sickening and while the armies were 4-1.5 in favor of my forces the opposite side with the mass tele almost won, ill post a replay to illustrate the proper usage when i get back on that Comp

Both starfall and tranquility can be quite easily countered.... As can most channeling spells. The humans probably have the most effective ults. They dont all have to be used in battle either like the majority of ultimates.

Nice avvy and u r right about NE counterability
Look, every spell has a counter, or at least a way to minimize the damage done by an ultimate. Even Reincarnation (surround him with units and don't let him escape.)
