And a visual is a lot easier to understand than saying "Man it's nerfed!" We already know that. | ||

People wouldn't need to be corrected if they weren't wrong in the first place. No point in letting people believe false information is true. | ||

not true. also when you're ingame, press print scrn, its a button above your backspace. once you've done that you can paste (ctrl + V) into the Paint application, and save it as a .jpg, .png, whatever. then in order to post it on the internet, you have to host it with an imagehosting site such as imageshack tinypic or others | ||

I should also clarify that i'm new to PC Step 1: During a game press your print screen button on your keyboard. (near the top right corner, labeled as PrtScn). Step 2: Open up the program paint. Paste (Ctrl + V). Save image. Step 3: Go to an image hosting site such as tinypic.com, and upload your picture. | ||

Do you know how to fix this? | ||

Have to test going Colossi and have 2 templars for feedback only. if he makes pure marauder you can mass immortals from 2 robos in no time and roll him. marines are necessary dps in the current build, so they'll have to have some mixed in which is where colossi or temps come in. ALSO you could feedback and storm. yeh both! so crazy. hmmm i smell a troll. | ||

Area of a circle = pi*r^2 % area reduction = 1 - (new area) / (old area) % area reduction = 1 - pi * (0.75r)^2 / pi *r^2 % area reduction = 1 - 0.75^2 = 1 - 0.5625 = 0.4375 = 43.75% | ||

It takes 2 seconds (4 ticks) of Storm to kill a speedling. Speedlings have a movement speed of 4.6991. I BELIEVE that is Matrices per Second; if so, a Speedling should be able to escape taking maybe only 1 tick, while the old storm would mean the Speedling would take maybe 2. Zerglings, on the other hand, having a movement speed of 2.9531...Hmm. The old storm would cause 3 ticks to be taken, and the new storm would mean 2 ticks. Note how WRONG a statement of "only 25% decrease" is. It's terribly wrong, and bad if people don't actually realize it. If it takes 2839473 times to get it into peoples' heads, so be it. | ||

I've been reading the SC2 boards quite frequently over the last few days, and I've noticed that you are ALWAYS telling somebody to stop talking in some way, or arguing, or just plain being an asshole. Your incessant need to argue with others truly rivals nobody elses' that I've seen on TL. I just wanted to say: You look like a moron, and you aren't making friends. | ||

Protoss units have been getting the nerf stick pretty bad lately... its cuz protoss is pretty good! lots of splash damage, and templar can be INSTA warped in with a storm already ready to go (with energy upgrade) i play toss and think this is fine. it makes sense. | ||

I just wanted to say: You look like a moron, and you aren't making friends. bummer. i hate looking like a moron. over the past few days i've tried posting in the SC2 forums because there seems to be an oversaturation of new people posting solely in those forums, and i love the TL community the way it was before the beta came out, so i tried posting in the threads to help ppl out. such as how to deal with MMM+tank, or explaining why mass spine crawlers is a bad idea BUT people who are new are very upset that they dont know as much about how in depth of a game starcraft can be, so they lash out with some pretty hateful things to say. i've been nothing but cordial in all my posts. you however, called me a moron. ty. i will add it to the list of things i've been called the last 24 hrs, right along with "downs" and "incompetent". and i've never told someone to stop talking. not my style. | ||

Sure, you may have meant radius, but saying "It has 25% less radius," while being correct, does not exemplify just how much storm we're losing.  | ||
