Uhm.. It is the weakest race.

I know the OP posted out of rage for sucking horribly, he does bring up a _few_ good points...

If you think you're better than me, Bo5 right now and when I 3-0, you can apologize.

Go make your own website if you wanna moderate, thanks. This is a blog, not a strategy thread. If you didn't realize, blogs are commonly about opinions. so if you have one of your own, there's a link next to your name at the top, and go make your own blog. Thanks.

So if someone made a very similar blog about sc1 it would be okay? It wouldn't be so ridiculous that mods could just be like "what is this stupid shit lol CLOSED"? Obviously we are allowed to disagree but you have gone way too far with this blog and a lot of people are simply calling you out on it.

Have I gone way too far? Let me know if there's a specific point you disagree with. the difference between this blog and a similar one about BW is that we've had 12 years to realize BW is perfect. This game, being very young, is the farthest thing from. It's evident in the design and ongoing balance that this game will never live up to the same standards as Brood War.

I'm more than happy to play against you and or discuss actual points but I can't really say much to 'lol you're wrong'

SC2 is not terrible at all its preety much better than most of the RTS out there and 2nd best after BW. I doubt it will even get close to the orignal but 2nd is ok i guess.

For me i havent tried SC2 nor plan to play it much because im too old to learn new games and its not BW. BW got everything i need from a game and i dont plan to change something that doenst need changing.

You do know at one point during the SC Betas Reavers did 250 damage... that got changed, give SC2 more beta time and see where the balance changes are going, they did a recent content patch, the big balance patch is going to be soon and by big I mean 3-5 changes.

That's not what I said at all because I find them distinctly unusable in PvZ and PvT, I mean that currently they only way to play PvP is with phoenixes. I've tried everything from void rays to 3warpgate blinkstalkers and nothing works. It's not about early harassment either, it's that when you get to a certain army size, about 15-20 units, if your opponent has 5 phoenixes in his army and you don't, you're going to lose. Every single time, hands down. I've played a dozen or two PvPs with this concept in mind and I think that currently you are required to play stargate tech which is just kinda disappointing.

To be honest, this doesn't qualify you as "really damn good" yet.

Unfortunately, this game doesn't have that long to wait. Think about modern gaming and how it's different from gaming 12 years ago. We would be much more patient in a beta 12 years ago, in a SC beta, when we didn't have something else to compare it to. It's hardly fair to blizzard but that's not my problem either. They don't have 5 years to balance this game, people will move on from it. Is what I'm saying clear? I'm not wording it very well.

Agree Sc2 sucks but not because of your reasons. Balance is a stupid reason to hate the game cause its not even established yet

I'm more than happy to play against you and or discuss actual points but I can't really say much to 'lol you're wrong'

Here are some points I disagree with:

Alright, beta's been out for quite a while now and it's still a pretty stupid game.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that this will never be good enough to become a competitive game.

Blizzard is completely mismanaging everything from design to art to UI to battle.net to balance itself.

Right now zerg is unbelievably strong against protoss.

There's literally no way to win against mutalisks.

Zerg, with their ridiculously overpowered spawn larva function (holy shit who actually believes this is even remotely balanced??) they can saturate mineral lines instantly and larva stops becoming a resource. So, Zerg immediately takes a ridiculous advantage.

Protoss is by and large the weakest race

I'd be too humble if I said I wasn't really damn good at this game.

there is a very low skill ceiling in this game

PvZ? Once he gets mutas you've already lost the game.

PvT? It seems like the only viable option now that immortals got nerfed (more on that in a second) is void ray harass

PvT's a boring ezfest

PvP's boring phoenix fest

Anyone with half a fucking brain can see that our tech 2 units cost 250/100 and 4 fucking supply should beat your cheap ass tier 1 roaches and marauders

Man, it's not that difficult to comprehend that

Immortals were completely balanced before the patch and now, completely useless, take way too long to build

I am capable, unlike most of the people currently beta testing, of looking at this game as a whole and saying, objectively, that this or that is probably not entirely balanced.

Viking range is way too long

storm is so USELESS now

the investment into templar tech is NOT WORTH THE SPELL.

And that's if you're LOL LUCKY enough to feedback the ghosts before they've insta-emp'd your entire army.

Protoss can't scout fuck all

Protoss can't scout but the other races can worker scout for free.

If you think this game is well designed, balanced, if you think it's gonna be the next esport or big publicized item...you're fucking delusional

This game is trash

Fucking zerg is overpowered




Parts I agree with at least 50%:

Sigh. That's just balance issues! You can't connect to other gateways, turning what was once a global gaming community and the ENTIRE REASON for blizzard's continuing financial success, into a cloistered, antisocial experience.

Your blog post talks about how Blizzard is mismanaging design, art, UI, battle.net and balance. But you seem to mostly be displeased about how you are not winning games as protoss because of apparent balance issues judging by all the paragraphs of balance ranting.

Personally I think they've done a decent job of all of the above. Designing a game that is better than BW from scratch is not an easy task, and I think it would be good if people didn't expect SC2 to be BW's superior little brother.

Instead of just copy pasting, try qualifying any of your statements? Your post count does not grant you the right to post inanely.

I got a little tired of typing after the balance portion, but I could go back to the rest at some point.

SC2 logically should be a superior game. Why would we expect anything less from a sequel?
