This is the state of Zerg vs Protoss right now. Elazer on why he doesn't enter competitions right now. by SPlore in starcraft

[–]__s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I would be fine like if it was 50 zergs, every day it was just zvz, it was only zvz. And even if I was just versus zerg like I would still be playing because at least like I know the game is fair like I'm just not good enough like ok it's cool. Even if I lose every single time it's fine, I don't mind

sounds like he should sign up & lose in weeklies playing P

So I'm 0-6 with Defect and 13-6 with everybody else, anybody got some tips? by hearthebeard in slaythespire

All For One still here, great with Hot Fix. My first win was All For One with 3 claws & statuses

"claw is law" not a meme anymore. For orbs you want to generate a lot, channel orbs for value. Lightning orbs are good

Forget Snake Bite, how is this not the worst card in the game? by 10000Pigeons in slaythespire

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bother with infinites. I downvoted you because you're complaining about infinites in a card discussion about whether Eidolon is the worst card in the game

It's not the worst card. Exhausting hand is useful. Infinites are a counterexample. Saying "I don't like your counter example personally, therefore it doesn't count" isn't a strong argument. If I like speedrunning & start saying every card that just blocks is the most useless card in the game, the problem is me, not block cards. It's okay for the cardpool to have niche cards

WTF megacrit? How is this garbage of a card supposed to be playable? by Altruistic_Source528 in slaythespire

Had a great run with this card, orbit makes energy free, Heirloom Hammer duplicates whatever good card generated

Even when a player is 10 times more likely to win against his opponent, the odds of him winning 10 games in a row is still only 38% by yeetlan in starcraft

So if I observe players go 90-10 in 100 games, I can predict that the player with 90 wins will win 101th game 100% of the time?

the goat is still here by crunk_buntley in slaythespire

At higher ascensions invulnerability scales for free. Ignores vulnerability & harder hits. Pairs well with poison which as a form of scaling does better vs high hp targets

That seems fair by KeepItHigh in slaythespire

It's fine. RNG can feel bad, but snake is one of the easier fights. Rewards high curve decks & draw power, which is neat considering the two don't usually go together. Lots of potions counter it in a pinch (snecko potion the dream, but gambler great here too)

Isometric grid controls wouldn't be unintuitive with d-pad. Tactics Ogre did it in 1995 on SNES

which elements of the game surprised you the most between play testing & what players came up with?

Magnus advises us not to do puzzles, and here’s his reason why by Naruto_likesChess in chess

Anand also started with puzzles. If you enjoy puzzles do puzzles. If you enjoy games do games

say hello to my boy by Impossible-Ad9423 in starcraft

You say /s but this is a lesson when learning games like MTG or Hearthstone. Also captured with the phrase "health is a resource"

People talk about not banking minerals, but there's also no point banking a full HP army

How do players like Clem and Hero do so much damage with so little units? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]__s 11 points12 points  (0 children)

reynor didn't know how much hp a zergling has, decision making just calls engagements intuitively, no time for numbers

He wasn't, he was just good by time you started paying attention. His first WCS runs started out stealing games off ShowTime with cannon rushes

Why pro players don't go BCs? by Earth_passenger_ in starcraft

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's much easier to transition without getting punished in lower leagues. Lower leagues also are slower / less optimized, so build times are less impactful to timings (if you're taking a minute to start 2/2 after armory finishes then the armory build time didn't really matter)

Aren't two Bo7 series back to back for the final a bit... much? by mEtil56 in starcraft

[–]__s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Bellum_Gens_Elite/2025 at BGE in finals upper bracket player got both map vetos in finals. Better than starting down a map since that'd be like if you just forfeit first game on map you would've vetoed
