Mage/Priest/Rogue

VS.

Druid/Hunter/Warlock

Attack the Warlock. Idea is basically the same as vs. Druid/Warlock/Warrior, except you get a time limit this time; your Mage will be OOM in about a minute, and he'll have 2 pets on him, making casting will be very very hard. However, a Warlock being healed by a solo Druid is still very easy for Mage/Rogue/Priest to kill. Not as bad of a matchup as most people believe; same goes for any Druid solo healer 3v3 comps vs MRP

I've been more successful when training on the hunter and CCing warlock so he can't counter CC/drain.

I also think that it is best to kill hunter first and cc warlock with polymorphs. I feel that a hunter is much easier to kill.

The hunter has no dispel, for the Freezing effects that the mage can put onto him making a shatter combo easy, keep CSing the druid and blind/sheeping the lock and it's an easy win. Gotta watch out for the Felhound's dispels tho.

Getting sheeps off is a waste of time imo. The hunter will save his silence/scatter for sheeps and frostbolts. When those are down you have to worry about a spell lock. And if you happen to try to actually cast a sheep it will just be devoured. Icy Viens is best used VERY early in this matchup as everything is going purged/devoured off you.

If you don't aim the warlock your rogue is going to feared off the rogue by the lock.
If you don't aim the hunter your rogue is going to get clipped/kited from the hunter.

But aiming for the hunter is easier since your rogue will have a fear ward and can CoS to get out of fears/dots

if you have a human rogue it is also possible for you to go for the druid and kill him in the first 10 seconds but if u do target the druid sheep the warlock or fear him so they wont interupt your damage witha fear.

If you're a horde team, and have an UD RMP, or at least UD RM, than your rogue will have 3 times to block fear if you go for the warlock. 4 times if you use trinket. But I dont really play

Dont be stupid, go for druid and if he is not dead within 20 sec leave the game

If the mage doesnt have Winters chill you already are gonna have a hard time if there a decent team. Mage cant sheep cause of dispells so he has to put up a chill on hunter. Put a chill on hunter. Keep hunter cced and try to catch druid and hunter on the same fear that way mage can stay alive alot longer. Mage has to los the hunter and still dps the lock, by doin all instants basically. Fake cast a shatter that way you can sheep the hunter cuase ur gonna get either silenced by hunter or lock pet. Rotate fear and blind on druid. Call whenever someone trinks. Rouge stays on lock at all times while priest burns druid so he has to play defensivly making him heal the lock less. Also dispell the lock the entire time. BTW this is a big counter to RMP if there any good.

I've played vs this team many times as MPR, in fact our final games of Season 3 fighting for our Gladiator title this team helped boost us into the 0.5% margin. I follow an extremely simple strategy that has always worked for us as MPR vs HDW. For this to work however your priest needs to master his dispel button to get fears from your Mage/Rogue off instantly. Sit on the hunter, mana burn the hunter to bait for interrupts, once the hunter is oom, you win. If your priest gets interrupted, you get to cast sheep. CC Rotation of Fear/Sheep/Blind/MC/Fear is to be done on the warlock. Keep in mind that against this team, the time is working against you (hard to get any more obvious), so play offensively, stay concentrated, execute the strategy & you win. Unless ofcoarse the hunter resists your Frostbolt on a shatter and you lose 28 points...

Kill Hunter while Fearing blinding and CSing the druid. Open first blow all cooldown.
