its as cheesy as harassing building drones, or taking gas, map exploits or pylons next to facts so they cant addon.. its not like u cant defend vs mannerpylons..u kill the probe and u have workers where the mannerpylons can be built.. Making the game newbie is just what blizzard did with warcraft3  sad love // TreK | ||

and don't use venice's lack of wit as proof of why it should be banned. it's his own stupid fault for chasing the probe and also stopping 3 of his own from mining to kill the one warping in. | ||

dont compare it to stupid shit like worker harassing and rine rush that can be done anywhere. the goal of the game is balance, being a strategy game, imbalances are supposed to be eliminated. spot imbalance is an imbalance and it should be removed. end of discussion. | ||

It's like a "no rush" rule. Don't jump down my throat here just because Nazgul says it's okay. The fact that great players play in the tournament doesn't make it any better. They're eliminating a legitimate tactic that they don't want to deal with. Newbies eliminate rushing, the experts are eliminating manner pylons. | ||

You make the worst comparisons ive ever seen. Lets run down the list. manner assimilators and extractors. Well lets see, is there something preventing you from building gas on any position in LT? No, you can do it everywhere, it is fair. dropship micro. kill yourself. i dont care if it was sarcastic, kill yourself. a no rush rule: is there a certain position that you cant rush? is it ubiquitous? yes it is. you can rush everywhere, anytime you want. MANNER PYLON IS NOT UBIQUITOUS, DONT YOU SEE. the only thing its comparable to is the gay terran push in the valley between 9/6. the fact that its most used in a mirror match makes it worse than this stupid push. dont insult kiddies laziness in stopping a pylon. he is forced because of his position to take 2 probes off working and put them in stop in order to save himself? he is forced to bunch probes and get 1 caught just in order to mine minerals? that is fucking ridiculous. How about we all go play on a server and just install 1.01 there. good idea? lets have a ridiculous zerg larva rate and have everyone go 1 hatch muta. The only two valid points are that if you eliminate manner pylon you should eliminate the gay 9/6 valley push (which none of you came up with) and that it adds variation. the first point is hard to disprove because the gay tank shit is valid, im against that too, but it should be allowed (if i were to make a map, id make that valley water, unlandable and unbuildable) the second point can be argued against easily because its just not fair. a strategy game should not have imbalances, and this is an imbalance. the variation should not include having one side being at a complete disadvantage because of starting position. Its actually worse to have 12v3 pvp than 12v3 pvt. pvt you can take their gas and force something crappy out of them. pvp you have to take probes off minerals to have a chance, or do what i do now and basically manner pylon yourself and have a terrible building infrastructure. the goal of the game is to creat balance and fairness so the player with the best skill wins. something like manner pylon doesnt do that. it detracts from balance and should not be present. why am i the only one who feels so strongly about manner pylon | ||

nice "bigballs" whoever u are dont drag the argument down to ur level just cause ur stupid. My question to u is how u suppose every spot to be equal? its pretty known that terran@6 is ALOT disadvantaged compared to terran@12 and @2 should u BAN 6 pos then? no one has ever succeeded in making a mannerpylon vs me since I make my workers mine where they are buildable but i guess thats too much to ask "bigballs" No hurt feelings, Love // TreK ;] | ||

Two wrongs dont make a right. Our goal is to eliminate any flaws, and this is the easiest flaw to rid ourselves of. I wont make any suggestions for fixing all of LT, because they will just go unnoticed and never get done. If someone is serious about fixing it i dont think it would be _THAT_ hard, only about 10 changes would make it a lot more even. | ||

One of the key aspects of Protoss is the ability to warp in buildings. Maybe you do need two workers to block your ramp and save yourself at certain positions, just as you sometimes need a few workers to fend off an early ling rush. The point is it doesn't matter. There are a number of advantages players get from being at certain positions (12/3 toss/terran should terran be able to take advantage of his position and stick tanks in his base facing toss's ramp as toss comes out? Or what about cliffing gas with tanks at 3? Both not doable at all locations.) You take advantage of what you have - that's strategy and tactics. You're SUPPOSED to be able to build pylons wherever you want (save creep) and that includes (and I daresay encourages) where your opponent least wants them. Don't cry that it's not fair - deal with it. In the history of SC/BW there has not been a non-bug/cheat strategy that needs to be "banned" in order for a player to deal with it. For every supposedly cheap strategy I can think of, some expert will say "do xyz to counter that". Can you maybe sacrifice a little econ, go pylon on 6 and get an early zealot to block your ramp? Can you build a pylon first when you see the probe coming and then cancel it? Can you do a forge first build and get a cannon to prevent the threat? You're all going to laugh because the ideas I just mentioned are retarted to say the least. However, instead of looking at the experts and saying "If they think it should be banned then it should be", do what is always done with SC to evolve the game - TRY THINGS! | ||

the easiest flaw to rid ourselves of is manner pylon. we dont even have to change the map. two wrongs do not make a right. you cant justify one flaw because another is allowed. yes taking gas from 3 is cheap, yes tanks on a ledge is cheap, but this is something we can eliminate, so it is going to be eliminated. | ||

Nobody is arguing Naz's right to do whatever the fuck he wants. I just feel that the tournament loses its legitimacy because of it, despite the fact that some of the world's best players are competing. To the predictable respones of "Nobody gives a fuck what you think" I'll tell you to stop reading a forum designed for people to give their opinions if you don't give a fuck what people say. | ||

if you seriously can't handle a manner pylon, that is pretty pathetic. i encourage people to manner pylon me when im at 12, it costs them 100 minerals and i always have no trouble getting all of my probes out except 1 at each spot... seriously, its stupid to not want someone to waste 200 minerals in order for me to stop 2 probes from mining for 45 seconds ...it takes away their chance at any decent zeal rush and it slows their tech considerably. its flat out stupid to think this effects the person being pyloned in a negative way. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, IT PUTS THE PERSON DOING IT AT A DISADVANTAGE, NOT THE PERSON RECEIVING IT ... now please tell me how this rule is helping the people who get manner pyloned? and btw ...kiddie is a moron, he doesnt know how to vs manner pylon, dont judge this based on the way he countered it ... (dying). i never lose a game to a manner pylon, ive lost games which went longer, but never because of that manner pylon, however im sure i win many more games when it is done to me than i lose | ||

"so map unbalances are to be destroyed? lets remove 9 totally, since 9 terran can wall in better then the other ones" that was a great example! since that is the only pos that cant be lingrushed without have to make extra buldings for full wall. ive seen more ppl lose cause u can full wall there than i have seen fuckers die vs mannerpylons  | ||

Who the fuck would defend this? Has it even occurred to you how many imbalances there are in any given map? If you want perfect balance you might as well be playing Zero Clutter, of course that's also imbalanced since the middle positions can be attacked from 3 sides, and the corners only from 2 sides, UH OH. Blizzard designed the maps to be imbalanced, to create diversity of strategy. Use your God given brains for crying out loud. | ||

basically doing anything that is considered bad manner is allowed, while all things considered good manner are prohibited. for example, you win a game, spam the channels how your opponent is a really big newbie and post the rep on every site you can. if you lose a game, force a complaint and cry hack. | ||

as for banning it... dont pros ban it? how many spots have to pull workers to deny manner pylon in pvp? it's a flat out, position-based pvp disadvantage, one that is easily bannable (or edit the map, same result, people simply dont block off the minerals with pylon). test it yourself you fucking lazy fucks. it is a blatant, bad bad not interesting position-specific flaw of temple, the equivalent of something like having the minerals mine too slowly in one spot or the gas being too far away compared to the others. they can manner pylon you, you can't necessarily manner pylon them. it IS an advantage (idiots). lolz. | ||
