Does anyone know what difficulty the stage 3 AI in the training is at? I just got rolled, so I'd be pretty sad if it's easy or something :v:

seeing people across a lot of forums post "unbeatable" strats vs zerg makes me sad
i haven't seen zerg players post anything like that at all

it's not unbeatable, that's the thing
it's just very funny to realize that a zerg is actually letting me turtle up to 200/200 3/3/3 carriers
if my opponent is aggressive in the early game, they'd easily win
If you see Protoss trying to take a fast third and turtle. spam roach/ling while teching to muta/corruptor + bases everywhere.

Unless they do what artosis does and makes 15 cannons around every base, and turtles to mass tempest storm :)
What's up with custom match making at the moment? Custom games were pretty average compared to Brood War but at least there were some.
All I can find now are melee maps, why'd they all disappear? Even if I play WoL it's empty.

You're clicking the custom games tab, you need to click arcade!

Yeah I only just discovered that and you caught me out before I had a chance to snip my post. Oh well.
How long has that fucking button been there?! I swear it wasn't there 10mins ago!

I'm being aggressive against ffe openings but I still lose
i bane rain with overlord drops
i use muta's until they get phoenixs because phoenixs seem like there's nothing I can do against them in the air
and then at that point i'm having to restructure an army to deal with his actual army
So it's not enough to do a 12 gigabyte install. I somehow have to redownload the WHOLE GAME all over again which is ANOTHER 8 gigabytes.
How do you even fuck it all up THAT hard. All i wanted to do was reinstall Wings of Liberty to play with a friend but no.
Yeah I tried to play SC2 again after not updating for awhile and it made me redownload the whole thing.
Just bought Hots.
Time to experience ladder anxiety in purple.
Well I think my PC is finally stable enough to ladder so with that said. What are the new standard terran openings or can I just 16CC my way through all the matches like I did in WoL.
Blizzard did the best aprils fool joke: [url]https://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/9369235[/url]
To be honest they could have rebalanced it instead of outright removing it. That was just lazy.
I would've wanted it, i didn't really keep a close eye on HOTS so i was kinda surprised when the Warhound wasn't in MP.
What I don't understand is why they moved away from the Blizzcon concept which was pretty much perfect.
It was a reworked Goliath, the one thing mech needed to deal with mass air because Thors are awful GtA and solely relied on splashing 20 units at a time to do real damage. Why did they have to turn it into a marauder?

It was a unit like the colossus which made the game a lot less hard for the player using the unit.

I miss Goliaths, the old broodwar ones. No mech army ever fell once the Goliaths were out.

To be honest, it doesn't fit in with the rest of terran looks. (I mean it looks human, just not starcraft terran humans.)
Plus it had an autocasted ability, which is something they seem to have tried to eliminate in hots, actually adding in more castable stuff.
New unit suggestion: #feednathan - nathan with emp size(beta version) conc shell that attacks air/ground. Does 30dmg, 10range, 2.5 dps, can be stimmed. Cost 300/200, takes up 4 supply.
can i work for blizz now pls
Man watching Husky's SC1 remake in SC2 playthrough, I miss the old zerg overmind announcer voice [I]so god damn much[/I].
The zerg advisor we got in SC2 is just so......eh.

It sounds the same as sc2 except from a male voice..
I found something that made blizzard so much better in my eyes, (really late for most of you probably).

...I'm talking about the voice acting itself, not the filters.
