    no one cares cause it's so minor, but why the hell does the thor get ability cool down ready and the corrupter has to wait? was the thor not a good enough unit? is the corrupter not shitty enough?

    i guess it's because you have to research the 250 guns?

    still just seems strange.

    i mean without that 45 second wait, corruption woulda been to op, amirite? the shit is pretty much free now and still people dont use it because it sort of isnt even worth the micro.

    Damn.

    Exact same speed now, in fact.

    I was hoping for some charge-breaking micro shenanigans.

    because corruption is actually used once in a miliennia and it's probably better than 250mm cannons.


    250mm cannons is a terrible skill, btw.

    I don't understand the void ray changes at all. Why? And why make them better in huge numbers, but weaker in small numbers? A blob of 40+ void rays never gets charged; now they deal an extra 20% more damage. And they're pretty close to useless now in small numbers; the payoff to getting charged up is not worth it. I guess I have even more reason now to never do anything other than robo.

    Well, I just hit rank 1 in Diamond. I worked my way up from Silver all on the back of the 5 Roach Rush.

    Of course I know that rank doesn't really mean anything because it all depends on how good the other people in your division are, but it still sure feels good to be #1 :)

    More terrans need to research 250mm cannons so I can use neural parasite on half their thors and make those thors use 250mm cannons on the other half.

    I like the void ray changes. I have no problem with them, they were just too stupid in modest groups. Four or five could wreak havoc all over the place. Hell, one well-microed VR was nigh unkillable.

    Though I have to say, now I have no idea what to do with them. Army support, I guess.

    But now that my phoenixes are back in black, I'm going to keep making those. I like ruining mineral lines. They're also wonderful for dealing with hydras.

    Yeah, but not at 250/150. I wish I could just build banshees instead.

    ugh I'm just playing like shit, floating way too many resources, macroing terribly, microing teribly, not building banelings.

    WARNING: this might be the worst loss in all of starcraft 2: repimg-33-157698.jpg

    im embarrassed and ashamed to have lost that game. no infestors, no banelings, no micro, no macro (I floated over 1000 mins at one point). I literally lost to mass upgraded marines with shields and no stim. the guy had like 5 workers. I had 3 bases. I dont know why i dont get banelings against terran. I like banelings. I dont know what the mental block is. I never have them BEFORE I need them. what the hell.

    I guess I was on the phone all game? no excuse. a monkey could have won this game. this was just SO bad. I dont even need input--I know I did everything wrong (literally everything), just watch and marvel at how bad I am.

    somehow I lost 20 mutas to 30 marines. I dont even know how thats possible. I'm so mad. this game was in the bag.

    So far both my games tonight have been zvz. Both I won with mass roaches.

    Kicking it old school, aw yeah.

    The second game this dude went fast mutas, and I was just like "fuck this guy I'll just keep building more roaches"

    I demolished his base and his natural, and then he keeps popping up expansions like he can pull out some miracle victory because he has 5 mutas.

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck offensive ggs.

    A zerg just expands all over his side of Shakuras and I kill half his expos so many times, but I just can't keep up with constant expansions and zerglings + ultralisks. I'm constantly building out of my barracks with and my marauder force is so tiny. And then he breaks through the bottom rocks because I can't pay attention to everything. Fuuuuuuck. And fuck Shakuras, too.

    The roach situation is getting out of hand, and void rays just got nerfed. I guess I'm back to immortals.

    It would all be so much easier if they'd just nerf the marauder a bit. Why balance everything else on those?
