LOL PROTOSS BTFO

for once

[zwimmy]

and it's a fucking energy ball

like seriously you think they'd try to make something cool

oh and another thing is that the new terran units seem like they would be very APM intensive and only useful in very specific circumstances. we'll have to see what happens in the betarino

[rtil]

better yet the energy ball is a mostly recycled model of the scrapped replicator unit from the HotS pre-alpha that never even made it to test

david kimba said there's another protoss uniter they're considering for the beta but no guarantees yet. they should just give the reaver already so people stop whining about it

the new units were shown off during the exhibition matches after the ro8. the Herc and Ravager make micro a lot more interesting. Lurkers didn't get to do a whole lot besides area denial, and Cyclones are just straight up OP and not that hard to use. the protoss shit still just felt like burst damage deathball bs. oh and swarm hosts are even more annoying but they did do what they intended was make them an aggressive unit instead of defensive

hey guys does anyone have the beta for LOTV??? lets play!!!

[zwimmy]

I stopped caring about Starcraft ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[RichChap]

i juuuuuust got back into it because of lotv. it seems like a lot of people have stopped caring. that said this game is a way better expansion than heart of the swarm was (at least multiplayer wise which is the important part). i love the new zerg units :>

definitely had the most fun with this game when i was playing with the tba crew though!!

rtil come play this with me plzzzzzzzz

[Crabarms]

Having a bit more fun with legacy of the void than I had with Heart of the swarm.
I like the ravager and lurker so far and i'm sure they will get nerfed because they are pretty strong.

ravager has actually already been nerfed pretty hard, but it's been buffed a little since then as well

lurker used to have a range upgrade from 6 to 9, but now comes with 9 range by default

i think instead of nerfing these units, other units will be buffed to compensate. for example, the colossus has 9 range again

release date november 10th. woo woo~!

what do you guys think of the recent changes to the patch that removed chrono/mule/manual inject?

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/19897909/legacy-of-the-void-beta-balance-update-september-17-2015-9-17-2015





rtil said he might switch to terran if they didn't remove the autocast inject so i'm interested to hear what he thinks now

[Binary_2]

What good of a change is that, that's exactly like auto cast except you just have to queue up multiple casts for an annoying chance to miss queuing them all up again.

But I guess it's closer to manual inject though, so that'll be better maybe.

i think november 10th is too early. lotv meta isn't in a good place yet, and i think they need more time to mess with economy stuff. hopefully the release doesn't stop them from doing more ambitious changes.

i suspect kespa tournaments may stay on hots for a little while longer

i don't mind the queuing injects thing, as long as it has a cap. this still requires skill so it's fine

it's actually nothing like autocast, because there's no longer autocast. you still have to manually inject, and you are punished for missing injects - just less than you were in hots. you also have the choice now to store up queen energy or spend it on injects instead of tumors or transfuses.

now that MULEs are on a cooldown and chrono is less powerful it seems like the macro mechanics are all in a better place.

edit: nevermind they reverted terran's entire macro mechanic back to hots. disappointing

[RichChap]

this just came out. anyone tryna play this or has the world given up on it? we can finally do 2v2s and more ~

[rtil]

i think i'm about 3/4ths of the way through the campaign. haven't had a chance to play with anyone yet so i've mostly just been doing 1v1. meta is still pretty shit

[cipher]

This campaign is way harder than the last ones on brutal I feel like. Still undecided if I'll be getting back into multiplayer much though, especially if it sucks currently.
