[QUOTE=Clio;40013501]do widow mines still one shot oracles?[/QUOTE] Yes, 160 to a shielded enemy. (125 to non shielded)

So far i'm loving this game, i'm playing through the campaign currently and it's lots of fun. I kinda bought it for the campaign, i suck at MP but i've had so much fun in SCII: WoL's campaign. [Sp]Spoiler ahead![/Sp] [Sp]It's a shame they had to kill Warfield, always thought he was kind of badass. And those Umojan guards didn't do fucking much when the spectre arrived, they looked badass though. I'm currently at the landing pad on the S-something station and even now i'm hoping that the UED will make a appearance in the next Starcraft game, i also just found out that you could switch unit skins in MP. I was not aware of that...[/Sp]

SURE IS LONELY IN THE FACEPUNCH CHANNEL :(

im sticking to playing against bots (mainly for xp because I need my special snowflake portraits) im too shit at this game

[QUOTE=Naught;40016595]im sticking to playing against bots (mainly for xp because I need my special snowflake portraits) im too shit at this game[/QUOTE] yeah, I'm way too scared to even play unranked. :(

finished my placement matches and got Gold, was happy, then remembered that still means I'm below average :/

So took placement after 13 weeks of no play. 3 out of 5 wins - ended up silver. I hate having to crawl up again.

what do i need to do differently to make it to diamond

Macro

[QUOTE=SystemGS;40017048]what do i need to do differently to make it to diamond[/QUOTE] a move more unit

[QUOTE=Omilinon;40016728]yeah, I'm way too scared to even play unranked. :([/QUOTE] play 4v4 unranked and just keep up with what your teammates are doing

[QUOTE=meppers;40017230]play 4v4 unranked and just keep up with what your teammates are doing[/QUOTE] i'll try that, thanks. new page, [url]http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/01/starcraft-brood-wars-running-on-android-thanks-to-winulator-app/[/url]

[QUOTE=Omilinon;40016728]yeah, I'm way too scared to even play unranked. :([/QUOTE] You arent gonna get better by being scared. Who cares what rank you are in, the more you play the better you become. I had ladder anxiety but sucked it up, went to bronze to silver to now top gold.

[QUOTE=Omilinon;40016728]yeah, I'm way too scared to even play unranked. :([/QUOTE] I wish I could be playing ranked matches right now, but ever since hots came out my computer has been fried :(

I had ladder anxiety but sucked it up, went to bronze to silver to now top gold.[/QUOTE] This man speaks the truth. The rank means nothing. I used to take the game way too seriously because of it, and it almost ruined it for me. I took a 2 year hiatus before coming back with HotS. Also, to give you some hope, when I first started playing Sc2, I started out in the bronziest of bronze, and ended my ladder career in top 8 Diamond, and would spend my days playing custom games with low-mid Masters players. Just keep an open mind set, look back at your own replays to see where anything went wrong, focus on 1 tiny issue at a time, and you'll improve. Also, Day9 dailies helped me immensely, so maybe they'll help you. Some team games with friends or fellow FP members also takes the edge and seriousness off the game.

as soon as i started beating this guy ^ in our practice he stopped playing

The Facepunch group is a dark and sad place. [img]http://i.imgur.com/8aCaJDR.jpg[/img] (The clan name is an inside joke, don't freak out.)

[QUOTE=Xion12;40017700]I thought Gold meant you [U]were[/U] average, or did something change?[/QUOTE] Gold ranges from the 28th-60th percentile, so more than 2/3 of Golds are below average

[QUOTE=elevator13;40019834]Gold ranges from the 28th-60th percentile, so more than 2/3 of Golds are below average[/QUOTE] make sure to be in the top 8 then
