Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

you people whine about nerfed voids being overpowered I was there when roaches cost 1 supply and started with 2 armor. I WAS THERE. [editline]01:09AM[/editline] Roach rushes killed more people than bubonic plague

I no longer think Void Rays are overpowered. I still think they move too fast though.

Not unless you upgrade them. They're slow as FUCK otherwise.

What...I did not know that. Forget what I said.

I don't think voids are OP, just annoying and something I haven't learned to effectively fight yet. Cheese strats are fucking stupid though, and I have no idea how to beat them aside from the protoss cannon rush which is just watching for. 6 pool seems impossible to stop even as zerg without going 6 pool yourself.

With corrupters/vikings/phoenixes you can easily take out void rays. Just unload a barrage on one of them, run back and wait for attack cooldown, unload another. If you can take out 1 void ray in a single barrage you can wipe em out one at a time and they can't get a charge going.

As terran you should be able to be walled in by the time the zerglings get there, and if you have some SCVs repair the wall you can be good until a marine comes out. Toss can rush photon cannons (I usually build a forge first for at least 1-2 up front, stops rushes dead in their tracks.) or a few zealots.

I think i'll just 6 pool if I ever see a zerg player in 1v1 again.

6 pooling is fun :colbert:

6 pool is easy to beat with a bit of drone micro. Throw down a pool ASAP when you see it, grab a spine crawler if you can. Basically it comes down to drone micro though.

20 corrupters vs 20 void rays = corrupters win. Send em all at one void ray, slime him, and have them all attack. Boom one dead. Minor casualties on one corrupter. Turn around and fly away, come back, repeat.

6 pooling is a horrible strat. And if you 6 pool you're horrible.

Protoss got nerfed like 4 patches in a row in beta. The Mothership is a shadow of what it was when it was first announced. The only race that's too strong right now is Terran.

[QUOTE=Godrek;23980279]What did the mothership used to be like?[/QUOTE] Doom ship of death and murder

Just won a game without 6pool. [IMG]http://sc2armory.com/img/zerg/renders/nydus_network.jpg[/IMG] :smug: [editline]02:30AM[/editline] These babys are sooo under appreciated.

I just lost three times in a row with this new teammate. I really don't have the patience tonight. I don't know why. I'm done with Starcraft II for today.

um its because these protoss players keep rushing colossus and stalkers its gay also that last match was pretty funny i nuked the zerg player like 3 times and he did absolutely nothing and left

Sorry Nomad. Just, not in the mood.

You can 2v2 with me :unsmith: Just kidding I'm horrible.

Today plat, tomorrow diamond! I hope.

you'd think i didn't think this through in plat league i go 8 pool because it times up perfectly with overlord/triple drone when the spawning pool finishes i always have 3 fresh larvas with exactly 150 minerals it worked better than a 9 pool or 10 pool for me

I love SC2 and I've been playing since the beta but I still have no idea what people are talking about

i'm thinking of switching from terran to protoss because stalkers are pretty sweet

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;23980991]i'm thinking of switching from terran to protoss because stalkers are pretty sweet[/QUOTE] Play random, best of all

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;23980991]i'm thinking of switching from terran to protoss because stalkers are pretty sweet[/QUOTE] I played all blink stalkers back in beta [editline]03:32AM[/editline] and I was good at it, but people actually counter shit now
