to pile it on... thats a customizable lcd on the BOTTOM of the mouse. the mousewheel and SS logo on the back glow, and they allow 16.8 million different colors (like a hue wheel basically)

the onboard memory they say is for having your settings when travelling to tourneys/lans

ive absolutely dominated my last 3 straight league of legends games and they've been horrific losses totally beyond my control

that's why that game infuriates me

i wish sc2 were still fun, balanced and entertaining. but it's not. blizzard really screwed the pooch, just like they did with d3. a game that was supposed to have lasting potential that has skittered out due to bad management.

league is running the world now. there wont be a brood war revolution.

it's gg for sc2, at least in the foreigner scene. i'd imagine the korean scene cant be far behind.

yea i think LoL is so popular specifically because the graphics are worse so more casual players with **** computers can play it. you need a decent computer toplay sc2 or dota2 even at low settings. you need a pretty good one to play at higher resolutions.

And now when they are finally in the scene with WCS they are actively trying to kill all the competition to it ruining the scene as a whole. The community managers over there are clueless to a absurd degree.

Yes, I'm sure nobody ever says **** like this in SC2 games. How could I be so ignorant. "<Insert Race/Unit/Build Here> is ****ing OP! Kill yourself" ONLY HAPPENS IN MOBAS. Anyways, if a teammate/opponent is a dick in a moba game, just put them on ignore. It takes 5 seconds. Listening to the blame game rather than just playing the game out w/ ignore is self torture. You're more likely to find a jackass in a MOBA game because you're playing with 9 others, but it's so simple to deal with them.

lmao

I only play(ed) SC1/SC2. DOTA I've just seen what it looks like and these other games you guys mention I mostly haven't even seen.
But this description of yours just cracked me up.

I'm pretty sure the reason MOBAs are popular is that they make you feel like you're microing awesomely because there's nothing to do except click all the time.

My macro is impeccable in LoL. I always spawn my minions exactly on time every 30 seconds.

Am I the only one that's been watching the MUGEN thing on twitch tv/saltybet the last couple of days? This **** is great imo, and you can bet on it. The chat goes crazy and is completely unmoderated which is great at the end of close matches.

not much micro to be done in that game tho. still dont see why you dont just go for like 5-6 bases with all those mins. at least if you had early enough 4th up you wouldnt be gas starved when switching to ultras

also, before the big ending fight, you killed 45 workers and worker count was 61 to 54. after your bane bust you only had 50 =o

think you were pretty lucky he microd his first "army" so miserably when he went to your nat. basically only zealots vs spines, then gives a full surround and uses like zero forcefields

queens tho!

And yeah what happens over time to me is that I try to get up to around 66 drones (which is easy, because that's ( 16 + 3 + 3 ) * 3), then 72 when I take a 4th and start on gas only there, and then I slowly bleed off drones to building stuff and I don't have a great handle on what my total # of workers is because some of them are still mining that base that has a few patches left and I moved some of them over to the 4th and I started a 5th but don't have any mining there yet and etc etc, so my lategame worker count drops below where it should be.

But yeah, **** like THAT is why I'm in platinum league, not zomg-micro-isn't-gosu-enough.

well bane bust was like, what, 12 or so min mark? p sure you were floating >1500 and only had 50 drones by then. i did see you made 9 afterwards, but think you should have 70ish by that time anyway. creep spread also seemed lacking

i would guess its easier to keep high drone count vs terran cause you're consciously using so many on static d/losing them.

I often end up in super lategame with 50 or 90 drones. I usually lose those games.

I'm not usually a graphics snob, but Dota was a game I actively avoided watching because I thought it looked so dreary and terrible. After watching TI3, it's not as bad as I thought, but I still prefer League's art style by far.

I played original dota. The big lack of appeal of dota 2 for me was visual. Just too different for me.

Trolling? To my noob eyes (I have allegiance to neither game having tried Dota2 and LoL like 2 games each) Dota2 looks infinitely better. LoL looks like a pretty bad cartoony thing from about 5 years ago. Also the heroes and creeps look much better and more distinct in Dota2.
