key changes
1 void ray can beat 2 stalkers
1 void ray can comfortably beat a queen, instead of just barely
1 voidray can beat 3 vikings with the charge ability
1 voidray can beat any of - photon cannon, missile turret, spore crawler, all of which used to beat 1 void.
having to stick with one handle for the majority of my career would drive me insane
i change my steam name like every two days
i can be like this
in the case of pro-gamers, i think they just get stuck with a name not by choice, but because that's how they're known. If you check pro-gamer pages on liquipedia, many of them have alternate handles

I've had mine for so long
for FPL, I picked stephano based on clutch team league style performance this last weekend. I didn't realize he'd be playing less.
gumiho coming up on gstl... I'm excited to watch him with new ravens, hope he uses them.
apparently other beta users are experiencing the same thing. Couple guys in the general chat say they're diamond in WoL but for whatever reason, everyone is stuck in gold league on HotS.
Unless you're bad like me. Does this mean I can do rumble in the bronze now?
Really starting to dislike the swarmhost. I'm sure they're a good unit and that I just suck with using them, but the locusts are so slow and there's never enough of them for it to matter
also
fucking terrans and their mech

a) you probably aren't making enough swarmhosts. They aren't relevant until you have at least 8-10.
b) You might not be syncing up the spawn of the locusts

c) they really REALLY benefit from upgrades
a) even 30supply of Swarmhosts is just 10 of them, which in turn is only 20 locusts. I feel like if I want a tough ground unit, I might as well mass roaches. The same supply of roaches gives me 15 of them and they are hardier and more dangerous than 20 locusts
b) what's that?
c) carapace and melee, I assume?

Syncing spawns is when you set all of the producer to make the unit at the same time, resulting in a wave of x (where x is the amount of producers you have) of the unit

Rather than a few every now and then as a trickle
oh, yeah, i figured you'd have to use them to make waves of units instead of trickling them. It's just that 20 or so locusts doesn't feel like it's doing very much for the supply it costs. I'd almost rather have infestors spam infested terrans (even with the nerf) or a bunch of roaches
maybe you aren't supposed to use them as a part of your main army? Like mutalisks? I dunno, I am also horrendously bad with mutas

Think of it this way:
How quickly could you remake those 15 roaches if they died, how much does it cost you, and how long will it take them to travel to the siege point?
That's what makes swarm hosts a good addition to an army - unlimited (if weaker) units

A locust does more DPS than a hydralisk.
20 locusts is WAY better than 15 roaches.

And you aren't meant to only have 10 of them ever. 10 is the point at which you start being able to do cool things with them. The goal is to get to 20ish, I've seen Kambing with 30 of them.

this is an amazing game
that may be just because it's new and in a new=good phase with sc but
But, a locust has 65 hp and travels very very slowly. They also have incredibly short range. They seem to die before they actually do anything. Though I will take note that maybe I'm simply not using enough of them and will shoot for 20-30 in my next game. What should I support them with? They cant hit air, so I feel like hydras? That's a very supply heavy army though

hydra host is one of the best ZvT compositions prior to the latest patch and I assume it can only be better now
I will try swarmhost/hydra in my future ZvTs and I might try in ZvP as well, though I'm still adjusting a lot to the random meta. I've fought various 1gate expos, 1gate all ins and still some FFE. I keep forgetting Vipers exist so I never get them out in ZvP

It was nice watching the players dealing with stuff they haven't practiced a billion times before.
May just be me, but the more known a map gets, the less fun it is to watch. When the announcers can call the victor based on who gets the third peon out or whatever, just makes for a dull game.

The players have known about this map setup for weeks - you can bet that the assigned players have been smashing out 40+ games per day on their specific map.
I agree with you regarding the new stuff being exciting, but I think Arkanoid is a good map for more than just the newness.

names himself after a thing he happened to have next to him when he had to come up with a name
he easily could have been named chair or desk

keep having questions... how many seeker missiles kills a swarm host, or a medivac
inquiring minds want to know
I'm planning to make nothing but ravens and siege tanks for a few years

I love the new units and it definitely feels more "complete" while the various groups and chat rooms makes Bnet feel more social.
