However, they make mutalisks both live much longer and deal significantly more damage. Like a mutalisk firing at a wraith fleet with no upgrades for either player deals 9+3+1 = 13 damage. However if the wraith fleet has 9 acid spores, it will instead deal 18+12+10 = 40 damage. And in addition the wraiths end up firing way slower. I haven't tested this specifically, but I think 1 muta will beat 3 wraiths if the wraiths all have 9 acid spores. I counted it, too. +3 upgrades make it 12(+9)+4(+9)+1.33(+9)=44. I think Queen's ensnare also count as an acid spore counter from what I recall. | ||

I'm Protoss player around low C level and I'm having a hard time dealing with 12 nexus in PvP, specially when last scouted. I feel like any decision I make does'nt do much to close the gap. If I add 2nd gate and robo w/o expanding, when I push is just too even ( he has a few more units and I have reavers but w/o expansion) and I'm not very good with reaver micro. If I try to catch up in eco I feel like I'm in a very passive position and I don't know how to pressure the opponent. Is your reaver proxied? That helps a lot. Otherwise you can expand yourself (maybe double expand even if you keep denying their scout as they will be a bit in the dark). Dt drop also an option. In general the usual follow up to 12 nexus is some cannons and many gates for goons. So you could buy time for yourself going dt while you quickly take 3 bases. If you expand yourself not too late, you retain gas and tech advantage and if you force a few cannons you re good. Like last scout isnt ideal but it s playable. Note if you expand you are a bit passive but so are they since they also expanded. It somewhat depends if they went nexus 2 gate or nexus gate forge You can also yolo it going 3 gate quickly and snipe cannons (and force more) while you expand yourself. | ||

I also didn't try DTs because I tend do avoid DT builds. I'm trying to practice with reaver to raise my reaver micro to be useful someday. It's hard to keep the macro but at least I'm out of my comfort zone trying to keep my macro and paying attention to the shuttle. I think DT will be the best answer to 12 nexus for me. I can have map control while closing the gap in eco. | ||

if u from SA like me, it has unplayable latency vs asia/kr players very bad latency vs eu and east coast na basically one has to hope for Latin gamer with good internet (this is like 50% of latam users other half just lags cause of shitty net) or west coast NA players, thats the only way to get good latency games for me at least. if we could at least get tr20 high or tr16 low most games, that wouldnt be so terrible imo, but as i like control heavy strats, it fucking makes me go crazy having to play 2 gate builds pvp or non reavers strats vs terran t_____t | ||

Like, wires that Blizzard uses to connect people and such as opposed to actual TR programming? Maybe tec27 can weigh in or someone else knowledgeable >_> | ||

Against KR SOMETIMES I can have a playable game but Peru and Bolívia is TR8 for sure. The best TR for me is playing against NA I can have TR 20 or 16 and for 3 minutes or so is TR24 in some games. I really can't understand how I have the worst lag agains SA. | ||

SB's always improving/getting new features so it's gonna keep getting better, tec is working on rewriting BW's code completely so we can implement new features way easier, you guys can be a part of the process and give us feedback on stuff you think is important. Also we can update the map pool whenever we want, you guys can give input there too (could have 7, 9 or 11 maps, we can add tourney specific maps or fun maps that the majority of ppl wanna play on etc). In regards to the latency issue, I'm not an expert but I remember tec saying that something's wrong with Bnet's dynamic turn rate and that it creates unnecessary lag/latency. In general I just think there's barely anyone working on the game so things are deteriorating cus Bnet's code is so buggy that doing basic updates (like updating seasons/the map pool) causes issues. Maybe it's creating server issues, dunno tho just a guess. Bnet definitely requires a certain amount of people to be there just for maintenance and I don't think that's happening anymore. | ||

If everyone switches there won't be long Q times, also if other players (non SA) see that there's a steady amount of players on SB that might motivate others to try it out as well.

That's the problem, everyone plays on bnet because everyone's on bnet, you find games fast. That's the main thing bnet has going for it (for foreigners, the kor player pool is huge so you'll always find a game whenever u wanna play, ppl play at random times). Of course there's a % of the foreign player pool that has to play on bnet because that's where they can get the best practice vs high level kors, but that's a very small %. If you randomly come on SB and Q, don't find a game, you end up leaving without coming back, that experience is continuous. There needs to be a mass migration of players in order to maintain momentum, that's the only way we can build up. It's impossible to get things going when people randomly join 1 time every 3 months and expect to find a game then never come back. | ||
