that'lll work haha

i faced 2 diamonds today and beat one of em, i guess this is going along a lot faster than i had anticipated

the one i lost to just massed blue flame hellions

nothing has changed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Sinitron]

what else is terran supposed to make

marines and marauders??? no thanks

[rtil]

that's a good joke

[Sinitron]

i tried making mmm the other day and it was TERRIBLE my macro had no fucking flow

when i get INTO it my factory stuff is usually pretty good and i can do most 1/1/1 variations pretty well but mass barracks just doesn't feel right and i can't nail the right number of production facilities like i can with factories

my unit control is ok it's just EVERYTHING ELSE that is frustrating

[rtil]

did you forget to make medivacs

[Sinitron]

medivacs don't come from barracks, having a reactored starport isn't so bad, it's the amount of barracks and their addons that are difficult

[rtil]

medivacs don't come from barracks

YOU DON'T SAY?

i'm actually talking about a  real build trying to force roaches and transition to bio tank. and not in the "i'm silver league and i'll have blue flame hellions in 10 minutes" way, but the "i will have X amount of blue flame hellions at X minutes and i will kill you with it" way.  it was popular 3 months ago and it's still popular today, apparently

and just a protip for ya: every terran unit is effective against early game zerg

[Sinitron]

i just make hellions because i like making hellions

[rtil]

you're terran, you can make anything you want and it will work

[Sinitron]

i'm terran, i can build whatever i want and then it better fucking work because i'll be stuck with it for the duration of the game

[rtil]

did you forget you can lift off buildings and swap addons or something

[Sinitron]

nah

basically i have to use every production facility

if i open 3rax (yeah right) i'll be stuck with bio since i would be getting the upgrades for it first most likely

once you start accumulating structures it's hard to switch around because of the large amounts of space being consumed by rows of barracks and factories with add-ons, it's generally not worth it for anything beyond 1base gimmick stuff (also a lot of pros skip reactors entirely because they take so long to build and are easy to snipe)

it boils down to terran having extremely expensive and space-consuming late-game infrastructure compared especially to zerg

but you knew this already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[psi43]

terrans are humans

humans can be homosexual

zerg can not

hence - zerg are better

[rtil]

transitioning doesnt seem to be a problem for high level terrans so maybe you're just bad at it

[rtil]

also i can feel diamond league comin on cuz i am rockin scrubs i think im gonna be pro guys

[Crabarms]

I am forever plat

[rtil]

you should do what i do every game - feign an expansion but then just mass +1 melee lings from 2 hatch 2 queen instead of drone and spam their base for massive damage FUCK YEAH

i dont do that every game but i do it a lot and it actually works really well
