i love how any post can turn into a flamefest racewar, totally of topic, trolling ftw.

But about your rep, just report it and game gets turned around and if he recieves another complaint he'll get banned. Its only 75 points.

To be fair, the argument isnt that someone shouldnt be able to be good with low APM, its that the only people who seem to do it are Protoss.

You'll find a lot of really low APM Protoss players in the C-ranks, but a 110 APM Terran (or Zerg)with no hotkeys dont seem to cut it.

I've have seen a few high level Zergs and Terrans with low apm, actually.

But your point still stands, there are obviously many more Protoss players who are able to acheive this. I understand their complaints, my point is that apm is not the only measure of skill. I won't take this any further, it's a dumb arguement and I'm actually sorry I got into it again now.

I'll give you a little love. You don't even use 1a2a3a cause you don't hotkey at all!

Nah, you get C/C+ consistently cause you use really smart tricky builds but don't get much farther because you're slow.

Definitely report this. Even if it's a glitch - which seems odd - you should get your points back for it.

probably because you'd have to have the IQ of a dog to thank that how hard a race is based on correlative apm

Not just APM...but mechanics as well. C+ no hotkeys??

If apm were the only measure of skill, Starcraft would not be a real time STRATEGY game. It would be a real time clicking game and I would not play it because it would be a dull, button-mash fest that relied on nothing but mechanics and memorization of patterns and cycles. It would be DDR in space.

Please get over your smug sense of superiority.

Edit: Yeah, I know this has been rehashed 4000 times, but I can't help myself when I see stupid shit. I have much higher apm than 110 and I have yet to break D+. I find it incredibly insulting that some people aren't content to regard Protoss players as their peers because of the natural human instinct to pick apart some aspect of any group as being somehow inferior to set an inclusionary standard.

On topic, I played an iccup game (both of us with anti-hack on) where my opponent's dragoons just outside my natural started firing on a pylon i just warped in at the edge of my cliff. He didn't have any obs around. Could this be anything other than successfully getting around the antihack?


god

if you only knew how closely that mirrored the early sc2 forum posts by bnet forumers

No, sometimes if something is on the very edge of a cliff you can somehow see it, I've been able to see pylons before and I don't hack

This happens when map makers copy/paste high ground/low ground onto low ground/high ground so although in game it's low ground versus high ground it's really high ground versus high ground. It's funky and happens in certain areas of certain maps.

You don't have very good reading comprehension. They are stating in that article that Starcraft's mechanics are a detriment to strategy. I am saying that Starcraft is a perfect game which IS NOT defined only by mechanics.

Boiled down, we are actually argueing near-opposite points.

I didn't watch the video, but if this is about another pylon going down briefly, they do that. There's some statistic but I don't know what it is. Its pretty small

It is quite strange. It does not look like he's maphacking, but on the other hand without the disabled cannon his attack would have been stupid. I didn't see any suspicious actions at the time the cannon unpowered, but I might have missed something.
The strange thing is, a few weeks ago I got a hackreport where supposedly large parts of the base unpowered. Sadly no replay available of that one -_-

In WSL (circa 2003), Breakdown (German Zerg) had 99 apm and was near the top of the ladder. Talk all you want about the evolution of the game, but D rank players still have absolutely no concept of what they are doing and I'm sure that the Breakdown of that era could easily make C+ or better on ICCup today. Hell, Mondi and Testie were way under 200 apm too.

It may be easier for Protoss to just attack move their armies and get "okay" results, but it's possible to play any race with a (relatively) low apm style at non-progamer levels.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature
