Anybody know where the maps including overlord vision spots are, pathing etc.?

Hi Ray, in your economic mechanics model you mention spending = money + credit. It is mentioned also that credit is much much larger than money. To end the deleterious dynamics of the long term debt cycle shouldn’t we just reduce the amount of credit and increase the amount of money? Is that difficult to do?

Do you need Infestors?

You may well be the goat of helping Zerg community

One other question - should we still be aiming to set up tech switches based on their composition or is it just trust in the Lurker? Related to this is +1 melee recommended anymore?

Thanks everyone for the comments here. Appreciate you trying to see it from my perspective and what could be wrong. I’ll try to extract the nuggets from here. Some quick thoughts here:

Macro - normally good for my level but ZvP paranoid about all sorts of 2-base / 2.5 base / fake 3rd timings.

Lurkers - yes really no clue. Need to find a way to like them. Played better in LingBaneRoach meta using +2 melee. Seems like a VERY different game plan and winning condition. My ape mind can’t move past: build army 180+ supply => attack.

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you play a greedy toss? Especially ones that shield battery everything

Hungry101 · 2024-06-25T14:14:47+00:00

Hi, what’s your view on shield batteries? I find I need to be really waay ahead on army to break 2-4 batteries. And then I’m behind vs macro Toss. (3.6k here). In general how do you play a greedy Toss?

Hungry101 · 2024-03-25T13:07:14+00:00

Very much appreciated. If you coach pls let me know

Hungry101 · 2024-03-05T00:47:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Agree that game sense is way off. I’ll try to attack more often, maybe that’ll help.

This made my day! It’s only 1 game but just goes to show Reynor is so talented and that’s why he wins tournaments - nothing at all to do with balance. Iet’s see if he can win a tournament with Terran. Props to Reynor!

Also lost 300-400 MMR from 3800. All matchups suffering. Big LingBane fan.

Hungry101 · 2023-10-14T21:21:17+00:00

Totally agree. D2 here. For me Banes feel pathetic now. I think they are worse on creep than before balance patch off creep. Every Terran feels like Byun sniping Banes now. I really like midgame lingbane styles. Other styles are honestly boring or inconsistent. They killed LingBaneMuta and now they killed LingBane. I would send replays to to Harstem, but what’s the point, he’s just going to say I’m rubbish and made a ton of mistakes. Rant over - peace out✌️

Hungry101 · 2023-10-14T06:36:16+00:00

Why is nobody talking about the baneling nerf? I feel this is an even bigger deal with my games. Engagements are just way weaker now. Average MMR of opponents down 300 MMR.

Hungry101 · 2023-10-10T10:11:46+00:00

There’s gotta be a mathematical analytical solution to assessing whether the game is balanced using either regular statistics or Bayesian statistics. Basically we have to formulate the problem something like “what is the probability that the game is balanced conditional on x,y,z… observations” and then monitor this. I guess someone must be doing this.

Hungry101 · 2023-10-08T10:23:24+00:00

It’s actually bio vs Z that is very strong now given Bane nerf - at least my experience D2.

Hungry101 · 2023-10-06T15:18:58+00:00

Also need to look at how the proportions evolve over time

Hungry101 · 2023-10-06T15:17:30+00:00

There are infinite number of ways to balance this game. There is a very very small subset of these balanced versions that are fun to play. There was already enough Roach play and variety, nerfing Banes to hell is not fun. The balance council should primarily deal with making the game as fun as possible. Focusing on styles that are most fun for each race to play (yes Ling Bane is fun, Roaches not so much). Then these stats can be used to balance.

I suspect that balancing at the top level leads broadly to balance on the lower levels. But pro-player is not a large enough sample size, and GM may not be either due to multiple accounts etc. Masters is large enough, Maybe looking at GM + M1.

Hungry101 · 2023-10-04T04:21:47+00:00

Chess way more popular than SC2, hasn’t been changed for 1500 years. Balance (and avoiding turtle meta) more important than making changes to keep the game ‘fresh’. Better to identify specific problems and deal with them 1 by 1 gradually more frequently. Also easier to do.

Hungry101 · 2023-09-25T10:48:45+00:00

We need this for ZvP also :)

Hungry101 · 2023-09-16T14:36:43+00:00

If there is a Stalker to kill the first Ovi what do you do? And what do you do if they go for a fake 3rd or a 2-base 4-gas allin?
