i like how the nuke threw around that ultralisk carcass

The new physics make the game a lot more fun to watch.

i like how the nuke threw around that ultralisk carcass

oh yeah i thought that was a nice touch too

it would be amazing if the battlefield never deteriorated so i could just watch shit pile up

that would make me consider playing 1v1s a lot more for the glorious meatgrinder effects

[sev]

the lag would become insurmountable

[rtil]

you might be able to do that with the map editor. i could be wrong though

[Sinitron]

the lag would become insurmountable

pffft sure *pets nasa computer*

[cipher]

got back into diamond, can't win shit anymore though. Guess it's time to actually learn some hots build orders

[Sinitron]

build orders are for the weak

you just need to be able to read your opponent and react in time

[rtil]

i just did my placements, had to do the 5 over again so it forgot my mmr. went 4-1, put me in gold. these next few days is gonna be noob buffet. then i'll try to get back in to diamond myself

[Sinitron]

your mmr is blanked in HotS

i think if you switch back to WoL you'll still have your old rating

going to options and changing expansion level etc

but i can't confirm this

[rtil]

that makes more sense cuz i was sure i had played some 1's in WoL last season

[Sinitron]

yeah i didn't play WoL on NA for months and i still have the whole "1 placement match for this season" thing going

[cipher]

yeah I'd still been playing WoL, definitely was reset for HoTs though

[zwimmy]

Did anyone else find this to be surprisingly... deep?

well, zagara is a babe

[rtil]

when you think about what she means - the swarm being able to communicate to eachother and essentially being part of one moving force - to not have that for her is what loneliness is most likely. she sees humans and see that they do have to work together as a group to survive, but ultimately they act alone. in some way zagara and the zerg have something that humans do not, and on the other hand the swarm lacks the free will that humans have (except for the primal zerg i guess)

[rtil]

finally feels good to be back in diamond after that  beta. wonder if this will last, i'm pretty rusty.

[Sinitron]

look at you scrub smurfing against platties

brb massing widow mines

best build

[rtil]

as a zerg player, fuck widow mines , especially players who know how to use them and don't allow them to proc on bait. can't deal with them effectively until hive tech, and i don't think it's fair *pouts
