Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 634 - Video Games

been thinking of coming back to SC2 lately. very frustrated with LoL's ladder/ranked system. i like having my destiny in my own hands.

have there been any major balance changes in the last 3 months i may have missed?

It's so old though, a lot of guys look different and half the players I've barely ever heard of let alone seen play. I got 17/49, I'm sure some of you guys that have been around longer will crush me...

43/49 for me lol

No as my programming task for uni I made a script that searches your nick when you make a new posts and shows them in a window over everything else I am doing.

Not where I am from. As a test I just asked on fb to rate domino's, pizza hut and Papa John 's in order. PJ is easily consensus worst although only 10 replies.

domino's used to be the worst but they've made some changes to their recipe recently so not sure how good it is now. papa johns > pizza hut though. better ingredients yo.

Random fact of the day:

Thor splash damage (vs air) is 100% damage in a radius of 0.5.

Archon splash damage is 100% damage in a radius of 0.25, 50% in a radius of 0.5, and 25% in a radius of 1.

This means mutas cannot completely magic box archons (though it's certainly better for magic boxed mutas to take 25% damage than 50% or 100%).

I'm working on one for popular maps in major tournaments. What do you think the best format for that is, to break it down by year and have separate categories for 2010/11/12/13? Top 10 most used maps in each year?

I said "**** it" and did it anyway:

Tournament map sporcle!

A lot of the 2012 ones will be super easy since there was a long stretch where basically every tournament had the same map pool, but the older ones will be tough.

The latest in the "narwhal defends ZvZ attacks and has no idea how he did it" series

http://drop.sc/336672

I have no idea what made me decide to make a 3rd queen in this game, but it saved my ass, I think. My macro and micro were both so bad I really don't even know how I got the units out to defend this. Luckily my opponent was just bad enough that I could win. I ended up matching him again the next game and blind-countered his roach/bane AI with my own +1 roachspeed attack that I was going for.

thought about this from wcs game

if you have a mine midway through hitting a banshee, and you cloak before banshee gets hit, will it miss or does that count as locked on

I'm pretty sure widow mines can target cloaked units, so I don't think cloaking midway would make a difference. If I'm wrong and it can't, I'd imagine the damage would be ignored, like how viking shots are ignored when you cloak in the time between the missile being fired and it hitting your unit.
