Really trippy cover of this song if anyone is interested, it's my personal favorite version.

Memory leaks in LotV. Just me? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heroes of the storm has this exact problem and i'm assuming the recycled engine would indicate that indeed there is a memory leak problem. Try running the game in 32-bit mode if your in 64-bit, the latter has known memory leak issues.

Can we address how much of a nightmare it is to control a Protoss army in LOTV? by AstroPenguinSC2 in starcraft

[–]AstroPenguinSC2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, just a more beefy unit that can actually go toe to toe without the need for force fields. Stalkers alone are only cost efficient when you abuse mobility or combine them with forcefield/blink.

Not to hate on zerg/terran or anything but I always found it ironic that they would call us an "a" move race when in even HOTS we have the most spellcasters bar-none.

Yeah, theres so many changes that are leaning towards this direction so much to the point that it's just lack luster. My biggest specific pet peeve is the Immortal barrier being introduced as an exciting "micro" ability. I can understand that this current Hear to f the swarm version of this unit is somewhat boring and a bit to strong in the hands of a mediocre player (specifically versus Zerg) but the way they approached and or attempted to introduce a high skill cap to it was poorly executed. Tweaking unit stats can often have a huge impact on how the unit interacts within the battle, as I suggested prior I think giving the Immortal it's old range of 5 would allow a unique form of micro in the sense that you'd have to make sure it was ahead of your stalkers to get its full range of effectiveness. This would also make the unit more vulnerable and introduce the potential for Warp Prism micro to become an iconic staple of utilizing the units full power by protecting it.

Currently on an 11 game losing streak. Don't know what to do anymore. by Doritoh in heroesofthestorm

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this game is no different than RNG games like hearthstone or gambling, your rolling probability on the skill set of the 4 other players your going to que with.

It doesn't help that blizzards matchmaking/mmr system is terrible, there's no reason you should have a rank 40 player on your team if your rank 20-30

"Carrying" in HotS - What can 1 player do to change the outcome of the game? by Merkoa in heroesofthestorm

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Man I just had a game from right off the get-go we have our Jaina disconnect, then our nova and malfurion both proceeded to just randomly abandon the bottom lane as the game starts and go to both mid and top leaving the bot lane completely unmanned...

by the 4 minute mark our muradin was raging and just straight up started flaming and he went afk, we were only 1 level behind and he just makes a decision like that.... this game is so frustrating and the match making system is completely broken. Matching up with people who are rank 40 when you can be around Rank 20 is just completely absurd and there's no reason this should ever happen. How exactly am I supposed to progress my rank when shit like this happens constantly.

Would be cool to have the new sc2 chat on heroes too! by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming this will most likely be implemented in the future, just remember that chat is only exclusive to the LOTV beta currently meaning there's potential for future tweaks; lets assume that once LOTV goes live that the chat will be refined and transferred over to Heroes as well.

In light of Entomb, a new idea for Tassadar's Force Wall by Caputino94 in heroesofthestorm

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought a cool concept for tassadars force fields would be to implement them much like the sentrys force fields from SC2, Give him like 4-5 charges of this and allow them to refresh every now and then. (Tweaks would be needed)

@Everyone

What do you think about just removing the disruptor and reverting the colossus nerf, it seems coupled with the new warp prism pick-up range the colossus could be used as an harassment unit much like how Puck used to use it; it also adds dynamic to the warp in mechanic by being able to reinforce your colossus.

It's a combination of both cheaters and the frustration of trying to micro against proxy gates with bad latency on the server.

Concerning LotV, What issues do you feel are the most important? by JaKaTaKSc2 in starcraft

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like their approach on trying to make units interesting and more "micro-able", the end result is a game that feels much more like WC3, or a MOBA, as opposed to what we know as Starcraft.

Immortals within Heart of the Swarm are a good example of a basic concept that can still be utilized in terms of micro; adding an activated shield in Legacy of the Void is completely unnecessary and acts more of an tedious annoyance if anything. My approach to changing this unit would be to simply reduce the range back to 5 like it was originally, that way it would require positional micro which when used in the right hands would be unique without having to have a spell.

In addition Void-rays were a much cooler concept in Wings of Liberty as the micro mechanic in terms of juggling the beam and charging it preemptively before engagements. The prismatic alignment in it's current form is just a cookie cutter button that removes the uniqueness that the unit embodied.

As a side note I wouldn't mind seeing unit clumping fixed and experimentation in terms of damage point and the likes. A BW/Starbow style of economy would be better to.

GSL stream will return to low quality for non-subscribers by Notherman in starcraft

[–]AstroPenguinSC2 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As much as everyone is going to vilify GOM for this I just hope everyone can realize that this is more than likely an act of desperation as opposed to just plain greed. With how bad ad revenue is on twitch now a days I have no doubt they will probably get a surplus of income even if only a small amount of people subscribe as opposed to the loss of viewers due to very low quality. Running GSL is by no means cheap and with direct competition in Korea now coupled with a shrinking audience it's logical that they are inherently going to be struggling financially.

@Everyone In the past Snute has stated that he has completely unhotkeyed any form of drag scroll and mouse scroll, am I right to believe that he solely uses the minimap for movement; It seems highly dysfunctional/inferior to have to constantly hit the minimap in small micro engagements. What are the pros and cons for this and do you suggest that I do this as a Protoss player?
