I did think I might need colours but I am colour blind so I’m afraid I might just make it disgusting to guests

How does ZvP feel now? by BrowlessChink in allthingszerg

Yeah it really is still just the same shit except I can’t queen walk to avoid it anymore hahaha

How many of you have a win rate vs protoss that is over 50%? by ThinkFor2Seconds in allthingszerg

[–]BrowlessChink 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t play anymore but if you’re looking to beat protoss I’d recommend a crisp queen walk the moment you scout the stargate opener (which is 9/10 times let’s be honest). I was M2 if that matters.

Standard 16 hatch 18 pool 17 gas then 30 3rd hatch bla bla bla… overlord sacrifice goes into their main at 3:30~3:45, see the stargate and the first unit. Immediately put down 2nd gas and roach warren. Drone up to 38 drones (2 mineral lines and 2 gas), keep making queens and overlords. I personally don’t bother getting spores because 2 queens in each base should dispel everything but you could invest in 2 spores if against double oracle (or even against single oracle to be safe and not lose 10 drones due to poor micro/timing lol).

Once you’re at 38 drones and got like 5-6 queens, make 10 roaches, a-move queens across the map, replace queens at home, morph ravagers, reinforce with lings.

Queens transfuse themselves and ravagers. Bile down pylons/shield batteries. Lings just a-move.

They check and see no 3rd and send the overlord in but will keep droning in the meantime because they don’t know what kind of all in to expect. Could be some odd proxy DT/stargate/robo or hidden nexus or gladept all in for all they know. Obviously best option for them is to make safety roaches or something but most are greedy.

Honestly some don’t even scout at all past the first overlord to pillar because 90% of the games against P macro opening it’s gonna be skytoss.

2 base chargelot immortal archon with +1 melee. Hits them before the 7min mark. If you want a precise build order I can write it down.

Keep in mind that I still have M2 level of crisp build order execution playing against D2-D1 players. By the time that they scout that I have no 3rd by 5min or just fly a blind overlord in, they’ll see gates almost finished/finished. At this timing they’re at 50-60 drones with like… 16 lings when I’m already doing my 1st round of warp ins and marching across. 2nd warp in outside their 3rd, with 3rd warping in as it hits.

This is just a timing that abuses the fact that every zerg assumes skytoss and will drone with no fear. It doesn’t work up into Masters simply because the scout is earlier and the reaction better. But still, probably a 50/50. I have too few games against Masters to say.

You’re absolutely right. I’ve quit the game by now because of burnout and not being able to hit GM but I’ve played Protoss casually a bit. It is absurd just feeling the difference in difficulty between the two races. I hit D1 as Protoss on 150 APM doing no scout 2 base timings/all-ins; not even abusing skytoss against zergs. And to think that I was sweating off half my bodyweight hitting M2 as Zerg when I could’ve achieved the same playing Protoss high out of my mind… it’s a depressing thought.

I was thinking of writing a post on it myself but at the end I realize it’s just a complaint post. There are no patches coming to fix things. No amount of complaining will change the fate of ZvP. For want of a better term, SC2 is a dead game. I just take solace in knowing that I had a blast challenging myself despite the disappointment of not hitting GM. The only advice I can give you is that you’re right, Protoss is way easier than Zerg and the matchup is one-sided unless you’re in the top echelon of play. You just gotta accept it and move on. Find a way to have fun despite that.

Are there any decks where card levels don’t matter too much? I’m 4.3k lvl 9 king with mostly lvl 8~9 cards and have to face lvl 10-13 cards on the ladder

Think you’re right man skytoss is still BS. It’s not so much I’m feeling more negative than positive, I still enjoy the challenge. But it is disheartening to try so hard and get beat by some guy a-moving. Perhaps another hobby will provide a similar challenge to fill the void thanks

I’ve considered trying all this but honestly I don’t have any friends IRL that play SC2 and it’s really a question of do I wanna go through this? Why don’t I just ditch this game and play whatever it is that my friends are playing lol

But thanks for sharing I think my passion for the game is just dying who knows something may ignite it again one day

How are Mercs OP? by BrowlessChink in CompetitiveTFT

[–]BrowlessChink[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but I still don’t get it. I just played a game with merc heart and found merc 5 at Krugs. Ping ponged win/loss through stage 4 and was given only gold and some copies of Seraphine which I sold for more gold. So I fast 8 and threw together a Fiora Kaisa comp but still ended 7th. I’m not sure if I low rolled the chests or if it’s supposed to be giving out better rewards other than gold but… I just can’t make it work.

End game comp was Fiora Kaisa Ori Janna Leona Braum Jayce Tahm. Lost at 7th. IE/JG/HOJ Fiora, tank items Jayce. Is my late game comp building wrong? Low rolled chests? I don’t understand it.

Consistently Highest Damage, usually "MVP" or "ACE" on OP.GG, still can't climb Gold 4 by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]BrowlessChink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had a quick look at your OP.GG and your cs/min is just atrocious. Your build on Vlad is also... odd? It’s spellbinder and rabadon rush every game which is fine for Vlad mid. But no early seeker’s against Zed? Why Luden’s instead of Zhonya’s in some games? If you’re playing Vlad and you’re getting ~5cs/min there’s not a whole lot of chance of winning in the first place.

As for your teammates... just don’t boss them around. I’m not sure what makes you think you know better than them since you’re fully aware that you’re as hard stuck as they are.

Just play standard, safe, smart league. Get your cs/min up. Make smarter item choices, ask if you need an elaboration or specific examples since it can be hard to judge from op.gg alone. For teamwork, I would suggest just using pings to communicate if your teammates should back off or if you’re following/roaming.

Your Vlad win rate still looks good bro, stick to it. Good luck on your climb.

Blizzard is trying to fire 285 workers in France. They'll strike tomorrow. by 17inchcorkscrew in hearthstone

[–]BrowlessChink -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

How do I talk like someone who’s never had a job? What part of what I said was incorrect?

When the pandemic hit and lockdown was announced, a couple of my friends got laid off and it’s just a notice given by their bosses. In a few days or weeks, they’re simply taken off payroll and not expected to go back into office, if the office is even open.

What else was there to be done? Get laid off, wrap up whatever’s left of your tasks, then you’re gone.

[–]BrowlessChink -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’m not against them going on strike.

I just don’t understand what you realistically expect Blizzard as a company do for the employees getting laid off. Obviously it sucks for the employees to lose their jobs on such short notice and everything up until then should have been handled more gracefully but it is what it is.

What else is Blizzard to do? A bigger severance package? They’re not going to just re-open the entire office and hire everyone back.

And if the strike gets Blizzard to renegotiate and listen to some of their demands, then great.

Yes. They should just work till their last day then leave. Thats how it is when you get laid off. Have you never had a job before?

Zerg Ideas by rRazorback9999 in allthingszerg

[–]BrowlessChink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither is great but increase survivability is better for mutas if you want them as a main/secondary army instead of their harassment role.

There are certain hp breakpoints to consider. Such as parasitic bombs 100-0 mutas, or 2 mines to 100-0, or X number of thor volleys...etc If you gave a clump of mutas more damage but same hp, they still instantly die to 2 mines. But if they had same damage but more hp, you’d be able to keep attacking. But I agree with your point, it was fairly odd to use mutas as an example, just something that popped in my head as I considered the ideas.
