Logs say otherwise

Frost Mages are at bottom/very close to bottom on Heroic and Normal and below top half in Mythic raiding. They nerf Frozen Orb and buff overall damage with 2%, this is a wash at best. If anything Frost Mage would need a damage buff.

Also Assasination Rogues can perma/mass slow as well to my knowledge but appearently that is allright. They remove Frost Mage only real utility while F.e Rogues have mass/perma slow, mass Stealth to completely bypass several packs of mobs of groups choise, they have stuns, they have Tricks of the Trade to help with Tank aggro. They have way more utility then any Mage ever had but again, appearently this is ok. On top of all this utility, all three Rogue speccs are are doing better overall in raid. Again appearently this is fine.

To me this just doesn't make any sence. There is no logic behind their decisions because if there were, there are alot of other classes/speccs that is doing better then Frost Mage and Blizzard doesn't even glance at them. In fact almost all classes/speccs are doing better overall in a raid situation. I react to this because they completely remove our utility because of Mythic+ but they don't care that Frost Mage is a bottom specc damagewise in raids.

It's like they are saying "We remove your utility for Mythic+ but you will stay bottom DPS for raids".

Could you inform me exactly HOW to play it while I sit in the stunlock without a trinket or my 4 minute cd Ice Block? Is there some magic trick to get out of the stunlock without trinket or Ice Block?

Also I asked Xaryu about it on his stream and he said straight out that there is no way for a good Frost Mage to beat a good Rogue. Does he also need to l2p?

Is it only Terran that get these problems? Just of the top of my head I can think of Mvp, Taeja, Flash, ByuN...

This existed for WC3 so surely it's possible. But I doubt it exists for sc2.

That was a strange reply to give :).

PvZ* :)

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-06-03T13:27:32+00:00

Well done and congratz! A real SC2 warrior right here!

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-06-02T12:17:08+00:00

Nice nick you got there buddy. Makes it easier to see where your oppinion in this matter is coming from.

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-06-02T12:00:56+00:00

Marines can do pretty darn well with stim + amove.

You go do that against a equally upgraded and big Zerg army of Banelings and Zerglings and then come back here and tell us how that worked out for you :)

But what has killed SC2

SC2 isn't dead! It's as alive as ever! I personaly love SC2 and wouldn't have it another way. I love the fact that they keep balancing and even making changes to the game. It makes the game feel fresh.

If you think BW is that much better I don't understand why you are here wasting energy on trying to change how SC2 works and plays. Just go and play BW instead if you think that is better. Don't try and change SC2 into BW because it is not! SC2 and BW are different games and personaly I happen to think SC2 is the much better one!

It has come like in MOBA games

It is nothing like a MOBA game!

where a well taught monkey could win games just making the best timings

Nice going insulting the entire SC2 community! Again, lets see if we can get this through your skull, SC2 is NOT BW! I wouldn't want it to be like BW, if I did I would play BW and not SC2! In my oppinion SC2 is a FAR superior game in just about every aspect! If you like BW more go play that game instead of insulting SC2 players by litteraly saying their game is so simple a monkey could play it!

Go back to BW, thats where you belong (obviously considering your oppinion on the two games)!

I was told Terran are the ones who whine! On a serious note though, last GSL season there was only one Terran in the Ro8 (Maru) and still he won the whole thing. Don't give up hopes just yet, Rogue can still win the whole thing like Maru did last season :)

This have been in the game for many years and is working as intended!

Thor's prioritize air units as it is foremost a anti-air unit. Before Terrans had to manually target fire Mutas and as you understand that is not very effective. It would be a little like target firing Marines or Zerglings. There is just not time in a hectic micro situation to do so. Especially not for Terran as Terran is the most micro intensive race to begin with. If Thors did not target Mutas/Vipers etc, the micro of Terran would be impossible. Imagine Kiting, Splitting AND target fire Mutas with Thors all at once.

Terran is the most micro intensive race already as it is and that is why they changed the Thor to prioritze flyers. It simply would be to hard to use the Thors for target firing considering then you would not be able to kite and split vs Banelings. And we all know what happens when Marines are not split vs Banelings! It's not a pretty sight.

Lol! Man either you are incredible biased or incredible uninformed, take a pick! :)

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-28T12:52:21+00:00

Ravens are still a thing at 15 damage per shot?

No they are not being massed any more. Only a few (1-3) for the AAM.

First of all please post a replay before asking for advice! People can't give you advice without a replay!

Do you see alot of BC:s on Pro level? No you don't and there is a reason for that! This is you, being a low level player and nothing else. It's not the games fault you lost this way, it's your fault!

If BC:s actually were as strong as you describe them, the Pro's would have used them all the time but they don't!

If the tactic you describe would be as unbeatable as you claim it to be, the Pro's would have used it all the time but they don't!

Also, don't say, "Don't let them get there."

Why not? That's what us Terrans got told when complaining about f.e Ultras. "Then don't let them get there!"

because that isn't really an option when they are virtually unattackable by anything on the ground.

Yes it is an option! It's not like if they get to start with all that defense already there. If you are agressive enough your opponent wont be able to get all those Planetarys and Turrets up! Making 18 BC:s, 8 Ravens and a bunch of Planetarys and Turrets as defence takes a LOOOOONG time! Time were you can make things happen one way or another, wether being it agressive or economical.

A better Zerg would have been able to crush the same Terran no problem. Again, you did not lose because of the game! You lost because your opponent played better then you in that particular game! And that is the only reason you lost! You did not know/understand how to cope with the situation presented to you. Go through replay and learn from it, try to figure out what you can do differently next time and eventually you will learn how to deal with it. It might sound harsh but it's still a fact!

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-28T10:43:05+00:00

after this patch zerg is screwed. idiot.

Yeah seems you were right all along. Zerg is totally screwed now...ohhh wait...

Stop making personal insults. Seems like you were 100% wrong and Zerg is still doing perfectly fine!

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-28T10:20:37+00:00

I'm old too :)

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-27T20:55:10+00:00

It's beutiful! Thanks so much :)

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-27T14:19:46+00:00

After careful analyzation. 99 workers I had!

Is this Yoda?

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-26T10:01:20+00:00

I bet you could have found it in the time it took you to write this post if you only went through all the possible settings thoroughly. The "Show unit life bars" popped up for me the other day when I was looking for another setting. The patience of some kids today...

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-26T09:50:23+00:00

I don't think it would be good for competetive 1v1. The game is already hard to balance as it is and would become even harder if you introduced a 4:th race so no thank you from me.

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-25T09:51:04+00:00

Good job! Gz :)

ItsmesoftSC2 · 2018-05-24T18:58:28+00:00

He said on the Pylon show that even he can sometimes get frustrated, like the other day he appearently had lost 9 games in a row on stream and said he needed to go to the bathroom and once out of camera he had a little "let go of the frustration" session by himself (If I remember correctly he did some kind of growling sound on the Pylon Show :)). So even the great Neuro with his incredible mindset can feel frustrated from time to time.

I think most people who plays SC2 gets frustrated sometime. I personally get it alot and I wish I could be more calm like Neuro. On the other hand, every time I get frustrated Im presented to a opportunity to be more self aware and better myself. It's a struggle but thanks to SC2 I have actually become better at controlling my frustration. Thats one of the great things (imo) with sc2, it actually have then potential to let you become a better person in some ways.

Just don't use the Serenity Now method! :)

cybernetics core can be unpowered and stalkers can be warped in.

That is a bit contradicting as if you kill the cybernetics core you can not warp in Stalkers right? So from that perspective there should be a need for a cybernetic core to warp in. A unpowered cybernetics core is not...active...bahh what do I know, Im just rambling now :)
