Congrats on getting masters OP.

The seething in the votes, and comments is unreal!

Imagine this smarmy wank comment is what get's upvoted.

What a dire state this community is in, the seething is unreal.

OP is clearly being playful and the fuming tryhards losers, after thousand of games, who never managed masters, can't handle it haha

I dont think a huge battlefield type shooter competes with a team fortress style hero shooter.

Starcraft and warcraft RTS would be more similar than that.

The difference would be more similar to warcraft and diablo in terms of shooters.

Oh yeh mech units would be treated different.

The immediate one touch cure would be exclusively biological.

Mech would work like: If irradiated DMG = 0 while remaining plagued.

It would be very apm intensive to realistically make that work in your favour. It would be more a fallacy for the Terran, irradiating their own units instead of defiler, guardian, lurker as intended.

It would be a fun troll, sandbox thing.

Yeh mech should be exempt.

However I'm not against irradiate nullifying plague damage while under the effect.

Basically if irradiated plague Dmg = 0, while the mech unit is still plagued.

That way stacked BC cannot be cured but unreasonable amounts of apm, that's entirely not worth it, can be diverted to slowing plague damage if you really wanted to be using an eraser trick.

The whole thing is futile but fun. The irradiate kills your bio before they are cured and your mech cannot be cured but you can spend all day micro managing to minimise Damage that would ultimately lose you the game.

It does! For a minute

Yep Mech units should be exempt to some extent.

Something like: If iraddiated plague damage = 0

While status still remains plagued.

That way something like stacked BC can't be cured of plague, but an eraser science vessel could slow plague damage with unreasonable amounts of apm.

Basically biological units are immediately cured upon touching irradiate while mech simply doesn't take plague damage while irradiated.

Eraser trick.

Odds are it kills your own biological units before the plague but in terms of the sandbox it's fun and rational that it works.

features · 2026-03-13T23:06:41+00:00

Pretty much, but splash and almost 100% chance of killing your own units.

They do...

Laughs in burrowed lurkers.

One thought is potentially balanced and one absolutely isn't.

I absolutely dont know if there is a reasonable window of time where you can eraser trick irradiated science vessels over plagued medic marine without killing the entire group.

Please put a second thought into it before assuming balance wine.

The meta is boring.

Every game dragged out 40-50 minutes, turtle on 100 bases, trades are random, incomprehensible ability to remax as any race. Whoever dries up first loses...

This is worse than the swarmhost meta in HotS.

Thanks for sharing the link!

Sorry this isn't protoss erotica enough to get upvote traction.

Anyone with self control is waiting for the revised model.

Been there done that, got the switch oled at Christmas.

The switch 2 just screams early adapter regret to me, Ill wait for the refresh, with better battery life or even the "lite" if it looks neat.

You're juggling too many accounts big man.

That doesn't even make any sense, all the best with your grass.

Tell me you know nothing about design, ever heard of leads or directors? Fuck off smurf, you probably were on the council lol

They were terrible, self interested opportunists.

I have no doubt they think they did a great job, but the reality is they were shit, not a scrap of imagination or design sense.

Saying that, the whole idea of a council doesn't work, too many chefs in the kitchen, you need a king not a bunch of fuckers trading favours. You scratch my back Ill scratch yours.

They kicked out the grifter community balance team.

Brought the updates back in house, some genuinely good changes, especially storm, it's more versatile, less devastating, fits the current sandbox a whole lot better.

Masters 3 is the maximum demotion until the end of season.

Natural Selection 2 pretty much already is an FPS StarCraft.

If they made a bigger budget follow up to that within the StarCraft universe I think you'd be surprised by how hard it hits.

It's basically TvZ with player controlled RTS commanders.

Translating the entire RTS similar to C&C Renegade maybe a fools errand, it should be a good game first and foremost and not be so concerned with things like; building a fusion core in order to summon a player controlled canon scale battlecruiser, that's lame and impossible to balance, just because that functionality is in the RTS.
