Since always, thats why lb players can't be hit by most. The reason why only a handful can hit redstar
I think the hogs would have a different opinion on gh and their uses. They seem to use it quite well. Example: Hogs Vs. PoC today.
There's not much point to gh in osw...ppl usually have high troops so hansels rarely get thru on hits unless its another hansel. And attacks don't win osws anyways. Your spies aren't strong enough to steal on strips. Steals are not scouts...they have a high rate of failure if you don't have big spy stats. So you're pretty much useless on that front unless the strip target is untowered. Pot burning is an option. But again, the idea of pot burning is to cost the target gold (these days pot burning to reduce pots available is rare since they are so easily replenished), so if you're using more in pots to burn the targets, you're not accomplishing your goal. Gh make gr8 banks, and was already noted, bc they make a lot of gold, are dtw to a lot of builds and can cheaply drop build if they are discovered, making them very hard to clean out.
My GH had amazing bfe, and with a little bit in HF was able to hit high up there in the roster, so bfe is a necessity for GH. I converted it though and no longer a GH, but bfe still kicks ass
To everyone saying GH can't do jack ****, we have HF now. My GH could hit someone with 10mil cs, a little higher and since its bfe was great. Made very few fails. GH would probably be useless if it had no bfe, other than that I'd use it to PvP.
