I'm in "mid" masters and my 2-2 is never more then 5 seconds after my 1-1 if i'm going for that type of build, unless i'm being harassed and need the money at that instant, so i fail to see how it's any faster... yes i have an extra 50/50, however what benefit 50/50 gives me i don't know, since there is literally nothing other than a probe i could fit in, in this time period therefore players at your level, much tighter, so definitely not an issue for you, this update might help diamond level protoss with some slightly less sloppy timings, but otherwise meh | ||

I'm not trying to blow anybodies minds or anything but +2 follows it immediately. that extra 50/50 is cool and everything but its not going to change a single thing lol | ||

Anyways, avilo has a history of balance arguments - who can forget the TvZ avilo balance while back in GSL Season 3? | ||

Never understood why you complained about that when all you do is make tanks, wtf can storm do vs range 13 LOL PS it actually wasn't imbalanced, PvT winrates even during storm season was right around 50% and that was before Terrans even used ghosts. | ||

Do not be fooled by his common place appearance, like so many things it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts... This is not ordinary blog! It once changed the course of a young man's play. A young man who wrote this blog, was more than what he seemed. A diamond in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark night, where Dustin Browder waits, with a dark purpose. | ||

Well, his subject does say "Bronzies" who may not have their macro timings tight enough to start 2-2 right after 1-1. If someone accidentally creates an additional probe or warps in an extra stalker earlier on, then 1.4.2 does allow them to start 2-2 a little faster. It gives people more slack to recover from "mistakes", which I guess is offensive to avilo. | ||

It was horrendously imbalanced, which is why it was removed from the game. And also Terran had a hell of a lot of "buffs" back then compared to current patch. Nice try to de-rail tho ^_^ my blog is not about balance. Although a few forum warriors have come out of the woodwork referencing arguments I made a year ago that have nothing to do with this topic for some reason @_@ On November 09 2011 17:16 Inori wrote: So let me get this straight.

But apparently he's admitted he's wrong now? I hope so because he straight up is (I'm a terran player too). The new patch shouldn't affect the upgrade timing at all. What it will affect is giving the protoss a little extra money should they choose to get fast upgrades. | ||

In what game have you seen someone going for a 2/2 timing push lose because (1) he was 50/50 short when 1/1 finished and (2) the timing was so razor thin that the attack would have been successful if it had come five seconds earlier but didn't because of (1)? For that matter, in what game have you seen a pro who was going for a 2/2 timing but didn't have the resources to start 2/2 when 1/1 was done? Hitting that timing is what 2/2 timing builds are built around, the only difference the price makes when executing them is in how many units you can have in addition to your upgrade investments at any given moment. | ||

Upgrades are cheaper, so you can get them with less money aka earlier? Or is it like you can get a stalker with the upgrade for the same price as the previous version of the upgrade? Shit starcraft is confusing, better be watching pictures of cats instead. | ||

By pushing the boundaries of what could be considered reasonable, he has pointed out how ridiculous balance whining about insignificant changes are. He does this all through clever use of rage. Note how many people have commented on what is just a angry blog. I must say it is a very subtle technique. The irony of course is that his meta-blog is so well done that people actually believe he is serious and so dismiss the point he is trying to make. Genius has often been mistaken for madness and I for one won't make that mistake. Well done Avilo, you show them who knows whats going on. BLOGCEPTION | ||
