Nope, you can disagree with mods all you want. In fact the guy who said i get away with posting memes in bans is 100% right about it "not being fair". When he dedicates 4 more years of his life to making TL great then he can do the same.

Saying "in before i get banned" gets you banned though. We take martyr requests at 100% face value.


oooooooooowned!

actually lol'd out loud at the bolded line xD


This thread is too much win.

Please get the facts straight, thank you.

This is not arguing for or against imbalance. I am just disproving him.


Reading comprehension is usually a good skill to have. I'm not talking purely about balance, I'm saying the picture is potentially miss leading due to the lack of provided information.

I could come in here with a screen shot of 100 SCVs vs 20 Probes, with the probes mining a higher income, and add no extra evidence. It would have exactly the same merit as the picture in the OP.

How many patches were each mining from? Were they even all mining? Had some probes JUST been killed off? Were they long distance mining?

You miss understood the entire point of the post. But hey, well done on blindly jumping in to try and throw around spite filled rebuttals just because you can. Ohh forums, how i love thee.

Also, on a side note about the lack of delay. Do the MULEs ignore SCVs and other MULEs mining on the patch ENTIRELY? Or simple take priority over the SCV that would otherwise be mining the patch? Would be good to know.


I think above someone posted the toss max income at 1200ish? well 3 mules return 810-900 mins over their lifetime of 1min(?) so thats 900 max income to 1200 max income, 24+ probes vs 3 mules in a more direct comparison.


MULEs are 90 seconds, and you can't get up to 900 anymore since they patched Mineral Boosting. 3 MULEs will net 720-810 depending on the distance between the mineral patch and the CC. The per-minute value of 3 MULEs is therefor 480-540 m/min

And now he's pitying himself? I mean, if you're going to try to stir up sympathy for yourself, at least don't make your username the same thing only with a 2 at the end.

This thread is too hilarious.

Don't do it man, it's not worth it!

Mules ARE way more forgiving than larva inject, but you have to remember that race mechanics aren't the same yadayada. I personally don't agree with it, but I'm going to play angels advocate and say that they have mules because Zerg and Protoss can get workers out REALLY fast with Chrono and larvae inject hatching.

Well, the Mule mechanic is the only one that actually gives you minerals for free. The others you have to spend to get. But sure... it is a balanced mechanic.

[00:00:31] [@s2kal|Jibba] here's a tip for anyone thinking of posting in the mules are op thread
[00:00:32] [@s2kal|Jibba] don't
[00:00:52] [Lyset] wait... people are posting in it?
[00:01:06] [Lyset] thought it was obvious trollbait
[00:01:09] [@s2kal|Jibba] yes, it's aggrevating for anyone that's a decent poster
[00:01:17] [@s2kal|Jibba] it's like chasing a raven off creep with hydras

this picture mean nothing, you should think he is in 1 base so he is way over saturated, so its 3 mule vs 24 probe.

wait... what ?

I think that's the weird thing about having threads like these open- they just invite more bad behavior.
Throughout these pages there were probably like 4 people permabanned

However, it is hilarious to read someone's bad post and know there's the red font of death in it-
*reads first two lines*
me Thinks, that's worth a temp ban
*reads "Go ahead, ban me!! idc"
I know where that is going

Way to read the stickies everyone rofl...

MULES can mine at the same time as an SCV on a mineral patch, but i dont think 2 MULES can mine on one patch.
