RE: Skeleton army contest
My point is that the necromancer would be useless in any game not v. skeletons and that the skeleton did nothing a base swordsman couldn't do

Base swordsman can't move backwards or to the side. You're thinking of swordsman+ which is in every way inferior to skeleton base so there'd be no point to use that. Also how is saying my necromancer would be useless in a game without minions a valid point? Does that mean that behemoth is UP because without minions it doesn't do anything? I think you missed the fact that necromancer targets all enemy minions not just skeletons.
The necromancer killed one skeleton then promptly died it was not developed for most of the early and mid game. Only 9% of the total points of this army were skeleton related and were 5% of its functionality which was the entire point of the contest. Elias' army passed due to it upgrading skeletons and running multiple tombstones and necromancers and actually using them as his primary method of killing stuff.
His primary method of killing things was soulkeepers. He could've had twelve more skeletons and no SK and he would've lost by a way higher margin and lost horribly in his other games, because the SKs Made up all the trades that mattered in the games
