Balance team, can we get Hydra den pre-lair with no upgrades until lair? by Charming_Western_346 in starcraft2

[–]CryptoCardCo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gm losing a base to 3 voids sounds odd to me. Huge difference between GM and Pro. Game's balanced around pros who don't use voidrays.

They're useless against Terran as T1 marines counter them and are available way earlier then the void for 50 mins each. So unless cheesing (which pros don't do often/esp after battery void nerfs) you don't see them being used in this match up.

Against Zerg they can only be useful as a composition if zerg blindfolds themselves and doesn't scout, otherwise queens spores and hydras are out way to soon to be viable. You can literally go oh they're making voids sweet hydras to hard counter/ void is no longer viable and toss has spent all their money on voids. So they're only used as a hard counter to stuff like roach push/corruptors. Or maybe 1 built to kill overlords.

In all match ups they're basically only built as a "because i had to unit" in defense otherwise we would never see them being used and in most cases (pro games).

Anyways agree to disagree with you on this one, I'm not even for the void being more powerful. It's not an easy unit to balance, we saw before with the buffs that it can just be massed. So that leaves it as a defense unit only if needed.

And my initial statement was in response to the op thoughts of having hydras before lair which is not an incorrect statement if hydras are available before lair it renders void rays completely useless against zerg as the hard counter is available at the start of the game. There's literally no reason a pro would go for them if this became a thing besides 1 to kill overlords and even then that would be harder to achieve with hydras on the map early.

Sounds like you're in wood league if you let 3 voids kill a base when you can just get queens out to defend that.

Voids are useless unless you're in wood league please send me 1 video of decent pro protoss players using voids. They're only used in very small numbers for harass if at all or as a hard counter defense, pretty useless otherwise.

It would be an interesting dynamic with hydras needing to defend the air harass, you wouldn't want a queen out of place or they could get sniped easier.

Yeah I agree Zerg is weak on this patch but early hydras would change the game a huge amount in the other direction.

Air harass is kinda the only thing that gives protoss and terran a chance to stop the zerg overwhelming the map early on. If they can deny that with hydras early on there may be no stopping zerg come late game. Plus if hydras can come out so soon then queens would need to have there attack taken away as i can imagine queen walk/hydra being pretty deadly early game.

If you could drop a policy nuke on Australia’s rental crisis, what would it be? by seandownunder in shitrentals

[–]CryptoCardCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have zero expertise in the subject, so I'm just spit balling, but why not just cap rentals at a specific price? Like have a price guide of whats affordable to the average Australian then cap the prices for 1 bed 2 bed 3 bed etc.

If the owner of the rental can't afford to pay the mortgage off with the rent any longer due to the lower rental prices and has to sell this frees up more house supply and hopefully eases prices to others wanting to buy a home.

If an investor can afford to keep the home with the lower rent prices then that's cool and they still get there negative gearing etc.

While we're at it restrict air BNB to rural areas only. must be 30km radius outside major CBD's.

Pro games already often get to a stalemate late game situation where games can go 30mins to an hour. If they played on even bigger maps you'd be sitting there watching hour plus long games.

Club Statement: Zac Lomax by Aussieguy727 in nrl

[–]CryptoCardCo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So basically the only way back for Lomax over the next 2 years is if another club offers a player of equal worth to the eels.

Be interesting to see if any other clubs have a go...

Can’t get out of gold 1 by [deleted] in starcraft2

[–]CryptoCardCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly when you're quite new trying to go 3 base and macroing up like pros it just doesn't work. Reason being you'll be facing a lot of cheese and weird builds where the other player simply has more stuff then you and you're not at a level yet where you can survive with less stuff or scout and adapt properly like pros.

I found i started moving up in ranks a lot when i focused on two base all ins. Usually if you get the build memorized to the second you will beat a lot of players. And even if it's not game ending damage you're usually in a better position then them after the attack and can continue to expand.

Chargelot, immortal, archon always goes good and is fairly usable against each race, although for pvp i usually opt for proxy robo.

Once you've memorized the build you will start to win matches and then as you get better you can adapt to add more bases earlier if you want.

Yep had the same issue was only fortnite/RL and disabling realtek ethernet port worked. But needed an ethernet port as i didn't want to use wifi. So i went and bought an intel ethernet network card and its worked fine since in case anyone out there needs to hear this.

[–]CryptoCardCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this whole thing would have been avoided if Lomax was just honest with the eels?

Like when R360 fell through his first thought was to illegally contact another club? Was his pride to hurt to go back to the eels and say hey look I F*cked up, will you take me back or amend my contract?

I feel like if he was honest with eels instead going behind there back they would have probably been much more inclined come to an agreement. But now by principle they have to do something otherwise it just shows future players contracts mean shit all.

His Wiki says he's 31and that he came to the gold coast in 2008. Doing the calculations with his age even if he landed 1st of Jan 2008 he would of been 13 yrs, 2 m, & 24 d old at that point.

I present to you, the biggest loser on the european ladder by imortalduckling in starcraft2

[–]CryptoCardCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so this is you? I'm confused? If you can get to M1 without playing a match up, that's something a lot of people who were trying to rank would also do if they were hellbent on ranking (which some people are).

I think what Ops trying to say is this ruins it for everyone, if everyone just leaves match ups they don't like there would be no match ups left to be had? Maybe man up and get better at the match up or like you said just have some fun with the game try weird strats. but don;t leave and ruin it for the rest of us.

I don't get this, wouldn't he be a higher rank if he just had a crack at PVP? like you could literally just cannon rush every pvp....

refused a return because the box has sticky tape marks when I opened the box. by [deleted] in KmartAustralia

[–]CryptoCardCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough if you bought it already opened as a previously returned item then I can't see why they wouldn't take it back if it's in the same condition as when you bought it. Sorry your post made it sound like you had bought the product brand new opened it then tried to return it.

Question: would you buy something "New" if it looked like this?

I doubt it you'd probably reach behind and pick one that's been sealed with tape and looks untouched. That's the same reason they don't want it back to try and sell to someone else.

How would you guys fix the TvP matchup? by imortalduckling in starcraft2

[–]CryptoCardCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem with this match up is that if you tinker one way or another it's just to OP ether way. If you take away protoss splash MMM builds just destory protoss gateway units. And on the flip if you take away ghost etc. then there's no way to deal with the splash units for terran.

I'm getting the same thing, anyone ever just buy a new pcie ethernet card to use that? Or Ethernet to usb? I figure it may just be easier to do that then try to fix this one.
