V2. What? You run out of Marines?

Are there any tips on how to effectively use Hellions? When I go MMM and I tech up to the starport, I want to still use that factory, but I want to save gas, and I usually have an excess of minerals, so I've toyed with slapping a reactor on the factory and pumping out some Hellions, but I haven't really found a way to use them well.

Can kill a lot of them if he has a lot in a line which they most likely are. Gotta get past his defenses though. They are good early on for harassment though.

Anyone managed Safe Haven on brutal? I am fine until the end when the mothership calls in a fucking huge army. It owned 15 ghosts, 10 vikings and a whole load of marines instantly. I even tried nuking it..

The challenge when you have to defend yourself from Zerg rushes and then you have to destroy the Protoss buildings is pretty hard.

Think I'm finally not sucking with Zerg, just won my first match using them.

Also, V.2 Void Rays, Void Rays everywhere.

[QUOTE=Xion12;24049726]Also, V.2 Void Rays, Void Rays everywhere.[/QUOTE] Yes, make it that one.

Please don't make this another minecraft, where posts are burned away with useless ~oh so funny~ title discussion, it gets tedious fast. Also, I still have no idea about armour values and what they represent.

[QUOTE=Xion12;24049672]The challenge when you have to defend yourself from Zerg rushes and then you have to destroy the Protoss buildings is pretty hard.[/QUOTE] That's the easiest one..

Well, for every point of armor a unit has, it takes that much less damage from an attack. Say unit 1 does 10 damage, and unit 2 has 4 armor. Every attack unit 1 does on unit 2 only does 6 damage because of unit 2's armor.

Also, I still have no idea about armour values and what they represent.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=SC2Wiki]Armor is a unit property which reduces incoming damage by a set amount per hit. Armor may be upgraded at certain structures. Armor can make a significant difference in what units counter what. Units that do low damage are most penalized by attacking a target's armor. Marines and zerglings are thus most affected by high armor. Ultralisks are a good counter to MnM for this reason. Armor upgrades are also very significant. Upgraded weapons can reduce the number of hits it takes to kill a unit, and upgrading the unit's armor in response can counter this. For example, zerglings die to zealots in 2 hits instead of 3 if the zealots have 1 weapon upgrade and the zerglings have no carapace upgrade. All attacks will do a minimum of 1 damage, even if the armor is higher then the attack's damage. However, some special attacks ignore armor, and all spells ignore armor.[/QUOTE] [editline]10:12PM[/editline] Ninjas

I played a little bit with the editor and made some triggers and edited a map, but nothing worth for uploading here. Discussing league tactics all the time gets a bit dull for me.

clocks not sure if I want to play my placements tonight, might be the last decent chance I get

Dude I have a crazy idea about the story [sp]Tychus was horribly wounded, but not dead. So he comes back in HotS and fucks shit up. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH[/sp] [editline]10:21PM[/editline] v2 - What's a hotkey? [editline]10:22PM[/editline] or v2 - I only play with my mouse

[QUOTE=DigiTech;24050594]Dude I have a crazy idea about the story [sp]Tychus was horribly wounded, but not dead. So he comes back in HotS and fucks shit up. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH[/sp][/QUOTE] I wouldn't actually mind that. Does anyone remember [sp]Infested Zombie Stukov? Well, was sad that it had to end this way for Tychus, but he has got himself into prison and he willingly accepted this deal to be free again.[/sp]

can i throw 1v1s by starting the match then leaving to get demoted? i'd rather work my way up instead of constantly having trouble

[QUOTE=nathaq;24050912]can i throw 1v1s by starting the match then leaving to get demoted? i'd rather work my way up instead of constantly having trouble[/QUOTE] Yes. leaving a game will make you lose the match.

v2 - My Goose is Gettin' Cooked

[QUOTE=Murdoco;24051035]Yes. leaving a game will make you lose the match.[/QUOTE] No, he's lying. I surrendered every match and now I'm in diamond.

Just 45 more practice league matches to go. I really suck at countering mass void rays.

Anybody know a place I can get the game for $50 or less?

[QUOTE=Xion12;24051380]Just 45 more practice league matches to go. I really suck at countering mass void rays.[/QUOTE] You can skip those. I suggest maybe playing custom game 1v1s.

I do that but everyone in them sucks
