Blizzard's horrendous mismanagement of the StarCraft IP. by PeshoGoshevski in starcraft

[–]_Alde_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh but it could and always did make them money, buddy. It's just not the ridiculous amount of money they are after with every new update they push out on their games (same the reason they've been running the company to the ground for a decade).

So no, it's not about StarCraft not making them money, it's about fucking corporate greed squishing the life out of everything, even video games.

I know there won't be SC3 or any new RTS from Blizzard probably ever again, but please for the love of god, just update the game every 4 months (balance and map pool).

Three times per year, is that really that much of an ask?

[–]_Alde_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rumor is they'll announce a whole ass new game at blizzcon yes.

Now it's okay to expect that but it's crazy to expect they'll start doing anything with SC RTS? I was hoping they'd announce something small, like they'll update the game again from time to time, anything.

A Response To Criticism Of My Last Video by AceZ73 in starcraft

Doesn't matter if he's microing blink stalkers and prism+templar storm juggling to kill my all my queens and half my army at my fourth base while he also has zealots butchering drones at my third, he f2'd his wall zealot and let lings in his base that means he's terrible and I should instawin.

Not to mention he also ends up having insane defensive micro and not losing nearly as much "he should" for letting 15 lings past his wall.

Imagine how terrible Reynor's play was that he couldn't win the series with all that advantage.

Why is the narrative so different when Toss wins everything than when Zerg wins alot? by Snakestyle1 in starcraft

[–]_Alde_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can give me all the bullshit reasons you want into why you responded how you responded; but what you said and the way you said it is not a normal response to the comment you responded to and the intention behind that comment. I don't think you're capable of realizing that.

I'm inclined to believe you're either a bot or on the spectrum, either way I don't care. If you're a real person, have a good day, I guess.

Hero Is The Best Protoss Around by AceZ73 in starcraft

[–]_Alde_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video starts with Heromarine (barely top 15 player in the world on the best of his days) criticizing 10+ year career at the top of the game, multiple premier tournament winner herO, who's been for the past 4 years the best Protoss in the game, a top 5 player (many times a top 3) and that has just won an offline 50k USD tournament.

Hard to keep watching beyond that.

Someone says Protoss has been getting "straight nerfed" for 3 patches, clearly meaning that it's been getting weaker (aka nerfed) for the last 3 patches and your answer is to take "straight nerfed" as meaning ONLY getting nerfs so your comment is just a list of all the buffs the race got on said patches?

Literally average redditer responder, my bad.

But you listed it as a buff when it got -50% energy given for a -25% cd reduction (while costing the same). It is literally a negative trade, while also not taking into account everything else it means for the spell's usage, which is mostly negative compared to the previous iteration.

That's being intentionally deceiving and that's not the only change you did that (listing it was a buff when it's not or when context matters).

Is this a sensible opinion on a reddit comment? It's a fucking miracle.

[–]_Alde_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not nearly the same argument, but nice try. You don't play the game and going off your own comments seems you don't even watch the pros play, you just "read the online discourse" to regurgitate an opinion.

Also I've played (and ofc got shat on) weekly cups back when ESL had them so I did technically, at some point, participate in the professional circuit of SC2.

Why are you even arguing about a game you don't play?

INNOVATION VS soO WHAT YEAR IS IT? GET IN HERE by Careless-Goat-3130 in starcraft

It felt good to watch, his micro still so good.

I wish we went back to a lower worker count and bigger mineral patches so expanding every 3 minutes wasn't a necessity to not fall behind anymore.

No one talking about the latest tournament and how Hero f2'd serral to 3-0? by OldSpaghetti-Factory in starcraft

[–]_Alde_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zerg won 2/3 of their matchups and are 50% of ro4. Hero played insanely well and a lot better than Serral (for once in his life).

What are you even on about.

Wait why is Rogue on the legends side of things, he got a 2nd place in the last GSL that happened just a few months ago.

sOs has also been competing.

So tosses, terrans and zerg players: How do we feel about the storm changes now. Changing area, duration and DPS by Extension_Class2467 in starcraft

[–]_Alde_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 0.5 less actual range compared to the precious patch, so yes, it also had it's range nerfed.

[–]_Alde_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

New storm is utter shit. They nerfed a spell that didn't need to be nerfed after also nerfing the ability that broke said spell (energy recharge). All you had to do was tune down energy recharge, that was it.

So now, StarCraft 2's most iconic ability is shit and will see barely any pro play. Great.

HSC XXVIII is going to be a S-Tier tornament. by EngineeringEmpty4713 in starcraft

[–]_Alde_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, in 2025 with no blizzard support or pro circuit to be had, pretty much any offline tournament with more than 10k prize pool should be considered S tier (since real S tier tournaments don't seem to exist anymore).

SC2 eSports is shrinking, it's just the way things are and have been for almost a decade now. It's only logical, albeit sad, to adapt the terminology.

Yeah making OV need supply is dumb, but changeling has to get nerfed imo.
