    If I worked at blizzard, I wouldn't ban people like that, I would just mess with their accounts, change their settings, their icon, add friends they didn't know. Just make them scared.

    I'm going to have some trouble finding my posts for a bout a week now.

    i'm kinda thinking about going heavily into each unit during a given match, just to try out units i haven't used much, and get a better familiarity with what they can do

    cause i generally only use a handfull of units, and that's prob bad

    You can see the colossus coming and hit it w/ vikings at way farther range than stalkers. No big deal.

    Void rays shredding missile turrets is poop though. But I just scout a lot.

    The game is mostly about macro until high level play. You can always make more units and cut out wasted time where you double queued a worker or were supply blocked for 10 seconds.

    Corruptors are pretty boss against Colossus, as are roaches if you can burrow move them into place.

    Yeah but Corruptors just don't have that awesome range to avoid Stalkers. I usually don't have too much of a problem with them if I make it to the late game, but if they manage to get a few out on certain maps it's just dreadful.

    Steps of war is a really bad/good level for Colossi.

    Corruptors have extra damage versus massive, coupled with their ability make them THE unit to kill colossi and capitol air.

    At the point when he gets his first 2, you should have a big enough army to hold him off. If not he probably just out produced you. But yeah, if you see him going straight for colossus, roaches are pretty great.
    The great thing about corruptors is that they aren't blocked by anything when focusing down the colossus mid battle, they can intercept colossus if your enemy is lazy and moves them over terrain that the rest of his army can't move over and of course any retreat of his turns into free colossus kills for you.

    Nope. Not that I ever remember to use it when I do take it, anyways. Though the same can be said of most of the other research units I get (cough cough Predator cough).

    Just gonna load up on bunkers, siege tanks, perdition turrets, psi-disruptors, and a whole lotta moxy.

    Won one of my 2v2's with a coworker and the other guy said:

    "Gg, but just so you know, you guys are pretty bad at this game"
    I asked "Hey, you beat me, but you suck... Is that what you mean?"
    He said "Yeah, my teammate quit, you retard."

    His teammate quit... because we pounded his base into the ground.

    But his assessment of me sucking is apt, I suppose. 8-)

    I played with a coworker and jokingly suggested he proxy assimilator'd the enemy base.. and he did! he built for asssimilators, which of course gave the opposite team a huge advantage and made us lose
    But quoting bob the builder in-game more than made up for it, I think everyone had a great laugh
    On a different note... god do I love speedlings. They so fucking decimate regular zerglings, and even roaches, it's not funny.

    Also I still have HUGE problems doing a proper transition to midgame, somehow.. I generally harass nicely, don't lose too many units doing it, and cripple my opponents econ.. But then I somehow fail to capitalize on this!
    I think part of it may be that I haven't really played much of the other races, it would probably be easier if I'd seen their weaknesses myself..
    But every minute playing toss or terran is a minute not playing Zerg :(

    The best way to transition into the mid game is to simply make it part of your build. Set some time or some point where you should be teching, or taking your 2nd expansion.

    For example, with my current build I get lair with my second 100 gas, always.

    My second xp is usually just when I feel like my army is equal to his and I don't have to worry about one thing killing me, like a cloaked banshee.

    mh, second base is never the problem, I'm doing pretty well at that point (18-25 food or so if I see no attacks coming)
    but later I just kinda sit there and wonder how the hell to get past those defenses, and BAM huge army crushes me
