Post History for Crunch#753

Aganst protoss who I know like to go nexus before core, I like to sometimes go 2 fact cyclone off 1 base.

I would like to see Inject Larva generate the same amount of larvae over its duration, instead of all of them at the end. It would make Zerg production more granular and allow for more occasions in the midgame where a Zerg takes minor, but not major damage. ZvX matchups tend to seesaw pretty wildly in the midgame because of the way Larva injects work. Timings against a Zerg third tend to either be held easily, or run over the Zerg, and it's really rare for both sides to come out roughly even afterwards.

I want Tactical Jump gone, or at the very least given a spool up time like Yamato has. BC's are incredibly obnoxious in TvT because of it.If you got rid of TJ but reduced their build time, they might actually become useful in the later game in other matchups.

When you have two races and one is so heavily behind in upgrades by design, it causes a bit of a dilemma from a development point of view.Do you balance around the lagging race simply fighting with an upgrade disadvantage? You can absolutely do that, but it can cause problems in the late game, where the race with the faster upgrades simply can't compete once both sides hit 3-3. This is the case in Brood War PvT, where Terran up…

What I don't get is why our connection to the Korean server is so bad. I get 500-600 ping on KR compared to 200-300 on NA, despite NA being on the opposite side of the world and Korea being relatively close. It almost seems like the Starcraft servers route us from OCE to US then back to KR.I might try it with a VPN and see if that works, actually.There just aren't enough AU players though, I'm generally around 4k MMR and I've hit GM players on ladder more than once just because apparently nobody else was queuing. 4k vs 5.5k isn't a fun match.

I actually like playing ZvZ. PvP I just don't get. TvT is fine in small doses, but when I get 5+ in a row I start leaving games. I can't handle that much TvT.

Around 4k is where players start really figuring it out. You can still win with it, but for every Protoss who is completely clueless how to beat it, there's another who just jumps on it with both feet. You aren't going to have a positive win rate if it's all you do by any means.

04/04/2019 03:15 AMPosted by TyphonVexCZif any other race rushes a t3, they are mocked and riduculed as noobThat's not true at all. Rushing directly to Viper is hands down the best way to handle Cyclone/Hellion, players like Dark see it and have their Hive starting at 7 minutes. Protoss players regularly open up directly into Collosus or High Templar or Archons, all of which require as much tech as BC's. The only real difference is unlike Templar or Collosus or Vipers, 1 or 2 BC's just isn't very useful later on in the game, so Terrans are more inclined to suicide them to do damage.

03/31/2019 01:59 PMPosted by TerranicIIEdit: Actually, an 8 trip limit would also work.Increase the duration by like 3-4 seconds, then give Mules 8 charges which cause them to immediately expire once used up. Solves the bug without changing anything major.

Imagine actually losing to pure mass infestor when you can make high templar lmao
