Starcraft 2 HOTS v1 Megathread - Kerrigan is coming (USE SPOILERS TILL 28.3.2013) - Games

[QUOTE=Jurikuer;40003388]Look, it's clear that there are some balance issues that need to be worked out. Personally I feel that the drilling claws should be removed permanently, but the unit itself is very easy to counter and avoid. You're right, it's a baneling that doesn't die. But it doesn't move either. If someone had a 200/200 army of Widow Mines, they are easily countered by simply bypassing them entirely. Protoss have observers which remain cloaked, Terran have Scanner Sweep which can't be shot down, and Zerg have Overlords/Overseers which if you're careful can spot the widow mines and escape before they are shot down. You then use Blinding Cloud on the mines and move your army in.[/QUOTE] i don't find it so easy to counter when it's capable of taking down my overlords, disrupting my map control. maybe I need to have overseers spread out everywhere across the map and not overlords but that's prohibitively expensive.

carved a path from rank 30 plat to rank 2 from last night to tonight (2 points away from rank 1) when do i get promoted >:(

[t]http://i.imgur.com/VG5WoHk.jpg[/t] Ok, widow mines are pretty cost effective, i was on 3 base for most of the game but my widow mine micro(:D) was too good for him and he lost several armies, i was down almost 90 supply at one point

omg are you THE fruitdealer?????

The counter to widow mines is paying attention to your army.

[QUOTE=Sylerr;40005094]June 1st @ World Forum Theater you can find more info here: [url]http://www.dscl.nl/[/url][/QUOTE] That's nice. I'll be in the Netherlands from the 20th of June until the 6th of July.

What are the DT builds for protoss againt lineups, something early so I can secure an expansion type of build. Give me the strats.

i remember why i stopped hurr durr cannon rush into hurr durr void rays into hurr durr i counter everything with voidrays because theyre now even stronger

In WOL I was always stuck in gold league. Now in HOTS im currently platnium and regularly faceing diamond to master players. Oh the pressure.

Well since HOTS came out, I decided to take a break from other games and play SC2 again. Man, SC is really like a bike, you don't lose your skill over time, I got back into top 8 masters already.

Is there a Facepunch HotS group? If not, I'll make one.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;40003043]he dropped one in his mineral line, defeated his whole defense. please tell me what you do there to avoid that whole sale and not get fucked please tell me how you deal with trying to assualt a walled in terran with banes or lings, you run a few lings ahead of banes to kite the widow mines, but they still get them cause there's more widow mines than can be dealt with due to how cheap they are i really don't get how people tell me they're totally balanced like seriously, even when I fucking micro lings around widows, it doesn't help. they also couterract zergs strong suit, map awareness by being able to wreck overlords.[/QUOTE] a) have detection and oversight to know that the widow mines drop and have a few first lings eat them b) micro When you think about it, widow mines are basically lurkers with far less range and the ability to hit air.

I started playing because he stopped, but I couldn't reset the league so it was a rough start. It was a rough start and I dropped to plat, but after a while I was able to go back up to diamond. Fast forward to about a year and a half without playing and I buy my own account. What league did I qualify for? bronze :v:
