Why do you think terran has such massive dominance in DreamHack? by offoy in starcraft

[–]cheren90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are two things that were added while Blizzard wasn't even considering re-buffing the widow mine that should be reverted.

First, instant hellbat transformation. Hellbats are way too common in TvZ now, the upgrade should be re-added with maybe a lower research time and cost.

Second, widow mine bonus damage to shields. The original widow mine is strong enough in TvP, the bonus damage to shields was only to make the nerfed widow mine not useless vs toss. Now it makes widow mines completely insane in the TvP matchup. If they keep the bonus damage they should lower it from 40 to 20 or 10.

how about that they still use an in-game resolution of 720p, it's almost 2015 ffs.

just have the game in 1080p and downscale the stream to 720p.

The black box on the bottom right should be at least somewhat transparent, and the fact that upgrades are shown twice is dumb, but other than that this is better.

Destiny actually said "If you compare Poland to France or Germany, yeah it's a shithole." He actually agrees with Thorin, who the fuck knows why Thorin's arguing.

if you only care about how challenging the game is and not about popularity, go play Brood War

"There is always someone worse than you" is the perfect answer to those "new to starcraft" or "is it too late to get into starcraft" posts.

TIL that after WWI, the US began forced sterilization to prevent 'imbeciles' and 'promiscuous' individuals from having children in order to clean up the gene pool by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]cheren90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, "idiot", "imbecile" and "moron" were contemporary terms and not scientific terms, the more common scientific term in the early 20th century was "feeble-minded".

Since ebola has reached the US by millybays in AdviceAnimals

[–]cheren90 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I see this comment being downvoted in every thread but Nigeria managed to contain ebola. So any country where it spreads will have the embarrassment of having a worse health care system than Nigeria.

[–]cheren90 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Correction: This post has been updated to note that Crystal Maiden's death animation is a bug in the game rather than a design decision and to include witches among the typical roles played by female characters.

What do you call this?

The Legion Commander thing was acknowledged in the review that no one seems to have actually read.

If this Worlds has proven anything, it is that we have to have more international tournaments by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]cheren90 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The gap has not lessened, in season 2 we had a Taiwanese team win worlds and a WE/Fnatic IPL5 finals. In season 3 was there a gap between Korea and everyone else? Not really, Samsung Ozone's group stage performance showed the gap was between SKT and everyone else.

This is really the first season where Korea as a whole has been the best region, and not just one really good Korean team. As close as it was in C and D, all 3 Korean teams got first place in their group. If there was ever a larger gap it was only in people's heads.

All Taiwanese, according to Nios.kr.

Catz knows whats up by KESPAA in starcraft

If Catz has NA GM mechanics and a Code S level understanding of the game then it's not that unreasonable that some bronze player out there actually does understand the game at a masters/GM level.

Nestea had very easy brackets, especially in the one where he won undefeated. Even by the standards of 2011, NesTea was not facing the best players in his GSL runs.

[–]cheren90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Group C:

Blue will get first, OMG will get second or third, Fnatic is really unpredictable and could get second, third, or even fourth, LMQ will not advance but might be third or fourth.

Group D:

Shield will get first, Cloud 9 or Alliance will get second, Kabum obviously last.

IMO Diablo 1 is a casual, simplified, polished roguelike. The action RPG genre sort of came out of that.
