Fuck that.

Much better to die an awesome Terran than to live as a magic wielding fairy or a mindless sac of biological goop.

After losing to Terrans on Desti who go Mech and go into a game not wanting to attack and just camp their half I don't feel the slighest bit of sympathy.

yeah this is exactly my thoughts. It's also not like PvZ is a walk in the park, dying to different ling allins 4 times in a row on HBR

ZvP on heartbreak seems like

Zerg has the advantage for the first half of the game with the no ramp, behind nat minerals, wide natural, hard to take 3rd, easy to get contained terrain in many ways.

Then after that, if protoss takes a 3rd easily, splitting the map is hell for zerg, the map becomes smaller, drops work still, but the map is pretty small to travel when it occurs.

Most zergs on iccup prefer non-macro games however.. so i can see why you complain

And fuck Zerg just because 2hatch is imba.

This game is hard enough. I don't need Heartbreak Ridge making it any harder.

I'm already a dumbass and choose to play Protoss as my main race. (seriously why am I playing Protoss? I think I asked why in a previous blog...) Protosson it's own is a fucking hard race to play. Every game on any map is like uberhardmode. Now add this god awful map called Heartbreak Ridge to the equation and you get some ridiculously stupid mix of uberhardmode and impossibility.

What it should have been called was fuckyouintheass ridge.

I swear EVERY possible FUCKING thing that messes with your mind is in play on HBR. First of all it's a one on one map, so say hello to bullshit cheeses 24/7. Proxy barracks in ur main?. How fucked up is that. If you spawn right side you have to wall or u pretty much get stolen gas which is pretty much gg. Especially since there are no ramps. Are you kidding me? No ramps even? At least on destination we had a ramp. As if no fucking ramps was bad enough, there's a LEDGE above your choke. rofl? Ledge above ramp is bad enough on colo2 but at least there you get a nested natural. Here any possible wall is on the inside so you still have to work your ass off to simply survive a 10/15 gate and then still have to work like a mofo for ur expo.

Your nat is a joke, positioning cannons vs muta harass is like rofl. You can place canons above but they get picked off so easily. You can position stuff below but u have no vision and he just rapes probes randomly and ur gas always gets raped. Oh and I just found out recently u can siege tanks at the third and rape the other guys nat gas TvT and other guy can't do jack shit about it. fucking homo.

There are multiple main paths to the enemy base. Your army can be pushing on one side while a million troops march for a counter and when you try to pull back all ur shit gets clusterfucked in the middle. Oh by the way why the FUCK is there a base in the middle. I swear it's probably more fucking retarded than the middle base on Andromeda. Good luck trying to take a 4th base PvT. Good luck taking out zerg expos at 11 or 5. If they position sunks correctly and have swarm the chokes into those bases is so small its gg no re. And it takes u an hour to get to those bases. Reminds me of Katrina when ur troops basically had to run 26 miles to take out zerg expos. hell even taking a 3rd base feels shitty. half the time when you try to take 1 or 7 your stuck covering with tanks on the low ground near one of the ridges. If you don't mine+position perfectly every time u get fucked. How stupid is that? I mean seriously this game is a fucking hardmode game already why... just why.

Did I mention the temple+mineral fucking idiotjoke behind ur natural yet? No? Well guess what, whoever decided this map wasn't a fucking homonightmare already decided to add this shit which u can mine out or glitch units through. glitching Vultures/Lings through there is really fucking retarded. You can have cannon positioned at ur nat and cannons in main but if he glitches a few vultures or mines it out u can get fucked so easily.

I don't give a shit what the progaming stats are on this map btw this is the most imba and most retarded map ever. (I'm sure it's a "Protoss" favored map, BULLCRAP)

I do believe this is the worst map to grace the competitive starcraft scene in my 11 year history of playing this stupid game. It's motw on iccup right now and easily the most popular map in random public games. F that and F HBR. All I can say is the next one on one map better fucking have choke ramps or there will be hell to pay.

Terrans still got something to complain about after having the best win statistics in all broadcasted games played and proven to be the most overpowered race? Sigh when will people stop being so ungrateful! I would fucking cry tears of joy when my workers have 150% health than other races while my harrassing unit can 2 shot every worker
