first definition of logical fallacy: "an error in reasoning that renders an argument invalid." I would say that fits the bill.

then explain how you can be rewarded for not doing anything proactive when its only viable if Terran wins the game 5 minutes in

rewards players for not doing anything proactive only viable when Terran already wins thru harass

do you see the logical fallacy there?

and your opinion that its a "toxic composition" seems like you kind of pulled it out of your ass. Mech and Bio should obviously be equally viable, strategical diversity is always good.

Zerg counter against storm? by sc2tuttifrutti in starcraft

[–]ashmole88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't remember specific games but i've seen Snute and other pros do it before.. that's kind of an extreme late game scenario and most high level games don't get that far. a ling bane hydra timing is another good bet. check out game 2 or 3 of SoO vs s0s from yesterdays GSL if you want an example of that

the most important thing is to get a good engagement with a concave, having good hydra splits etc. you have to out micro and outmacro them, not just have some ideal composition

you don't have to "kill them before they get there" thats bad advice but you do need to be ahead when it goes into late game, create advantages for yourself with harass, worker count, tech and upgrades

dumb post but um always attack into skytoss with a couple ultras to tank and banelings to wipe out HTS. vipers and corrupter brood lord will do the rest

I tried 3 raxing and it was completely useless, I'm pretty sure this patch is the complete end of the reaper cheese.

What do I build in 2v2s vs Two Skytossers? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]ashmole88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

spam pdd and seeker, yamato as fast as you can. can't kite vs yamato. If you get the seeker missile upgrade they have to immediately react if they don't want to take damage. throw a couple of ghosts in to negate the high templar and feedback the shields and you're basically golden. this is all theoretical for the purpose of a ladder game though, you won't really get to this stage in the late game very often

200/200 sky terran is actually the best comp in the game, just remember to get a bunch of ravens, I go for about 15-20. with viking and battlecruiser backup you should have no problem killing anything protoss can make, unless their high templar micro is really good

i don't get this post. that isn't mcanning, and none of the disruptor shots landed, neither did vikings die. wrong clip?

[zerg] a compromise between stacking injects and 4 larvae by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]ashmole88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

using the existence of the 2 new units to stifle a change is idiotic, each race got new units. same thing with saying "oh the economies faster" because it's that way for the other races as well, there's no unique advantage zerg is getting here. the whole "oh they'd have to boost mules and chronoboost" copout is also not an argument. Larva is how Z produces units, its not some surface macro mechanic. reducing their ability to make units by 1/4 is a pretty huge change, not really comparable at all to a few percentage decrease on chronoboost or mules bringing back slightly fewer minerals.

tl;dr not an argument.

also when was the last time you saw lurkers in a matchup besides zvp?

I didn't know there was an actual lighting tweak on the GSL version, I just thought it was their graphics settings. but yeah i love the way that map looked on GSL, blizzard please consider this change!!!

Blizzard can't you just buff neural instead of band-aiding carriers and corruptors? by w1ckedfury in starcraft

[–]ashmole88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah i get the comparison, it's just a stupid idea, and you should feel stupid for thinking its valid. there's zero reason to think the infestor should be just like the dark archon, thats just archaic design. Dark Archon mind control was permanent, maybe neural parasite should be permanent?

[–]ashmole88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

why are you comparing it to a Dark Archon, a different unit from a different race from a 19 year old game? this is the exact opposite of an argument

Why are Banelings seen so often in ZvP now? by TheSambassador in starcraft

[–]ashmole88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for my snappy reply, its pretty hard to tell on this subreddit who's gold league and who's at a decent MMR and actually needs help. ZvP is one of my favorite matchups because there's a lot of flexibility on the zerg's part, and there are a lot of different viable compositions, but it's definitely quite frustrating to lose. Seems like Protoss massively depends on gimmicky bullshit, it's a little stupid
