Starcraft 2 (GAME IS NOW FREE!) - Page 823 - Video Games

To add to the "LotV will be terrible" train, Blizzard reverted one of the actual good changes they made. As of the new patch (and they didn't announce this until today for some raisin), corruptors lose their new building-damaging ability that would have kept them from being flying paperweights after Protoss counters your anti-Colossus corruptor ball with mass blink stalker. They're back to having the same Corruption ability they have now (with added auto-cast).

It's weird that every change that goes "against" zerg and "for" another race is evidence goofy uses that LOTV will be terrible.

Way to demonstrate that you aren't paying attention at all. I've said repeatedly that the new viper ability is stupidly OP and should and will be reverted. The new corruptor ability was actually good, though.

Turns out the corruptor thing wasn't supposed to be included and it was Blizzard's PR guys that ****ed up this time instead of their design guys, so LotV is still the same amount of awful that it was yesterday.

Basically all of the new spellcasting/ability stuff sucks, i agree with you on that. they basically said, "You know how everyone really loves widow mines? We need more of that."

rip mutas

I thought I was in trouble there since I only had energy for a couple seekers. Luckily my opponent was nice enough to stack all 48 of his mutas in a tight ball.

Just played a zerg that made a hatch in my main, i held that off, then we went into roaches, then roach/bane, then tried muta, then brood lords, I killed those and he tried ultras (and did this off hidden bases in the corners of coda so after I wiped out his first three bases I still had work to do) all of which didn't work, and finally when I didn't think there was any tech left to try he shows up at my 4th with all hydras and I laugh and kill all of those and he finally ragequits

what.the.****

I thought the Bo69 thing was a joke but apparently it's a real thing? Snute and Bunny

so uh, what do you do if your opponent just rushes two factories, rallies the first two tanks to your natural and traps you in your main with tanks?

The best counter is probably cloaked banshee. I do siege tank rushes a lot in TvT. I do the single factory + starport for viking version. The build actually worked well back in wings when you had to research siege mode and in hots it's super strong. I can't believe it's not more common on ladder. I almost never lose TvT thanks to this build and proxy 2 rax reaper.

Haha when I play TvT I only do that build. Reactor marines, factory out 3 siege tanks and 2-3 vikings then 1-a.

ohhh you're evil whackmaster. TvT is my worst by far I think. I might have to adjust my play and try some of that as reaper expand seems to be terrible for me in TvT
