I'm posting this here because I was instructed by an admin that it was better suited than having it's own thread.\

Hi there, I only recently picked up starcraft 2 after putting it off for so long. My gaming experience has been mostly in MoBAs, MMos, and FPS, I did play a bit of warcraft 3 back in middle school and tried my hand at brood war i think once or twice in LAN with couple of friends of mine around the same time. My basic grasp is there but I find myself whenever I go up against other players(non-AI) struggling with my economy or focusing to much on upgrades rather than my army and then getting stomped not even 10 mins in. My army by about min 6 consists of about 6-10 zealots, 4-8(if lucky)stalkers and maybe 2-3 immortals(or a colossus) not to long before the time of this post I had a match against another protoss player who somehow had like 20-something stalkers and 4 void rays. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please if any experienced protoss players can help me I would be most appreciative.

Post a replay of the said game and I can take a look. In general I'd suggest posting to r/allthingsprotoss okebty of good protoss players there willing to take a look at your replays/give tips.

Is it possible to disable seeing my enemies league, both - in the loading screen his/her boarder around the picture and after game finishes in the score screen? (because it defeats the purpose of playing unranked imo)

Is it possible to just partially disable unit response sounds? To have a sound when they are produced but no sound when i am selecting or ordering them. (like watching a replay from a players perspective).

Which variables.txt option enables seeing units that are behind rocks or buildings (like shiny figures)? Seen some streamers have it (WinterGaming for exampe).

Sup sons, I have been inactive from SC2 for a bit, but I am writing a dissertation in my MA about eSports and the relationship between pro gamers and video game developers and how it is shaping video game design. I was informed, on reddit, that Blizz held a conference for LotV with pro players to address game design, balance, etc, in the run up to the creation of LotV.

Now, I am struggling to find info on this conference (what players attended, what they discussed, what (if anything) got implemented, etc). It would be great for my research to be able to find this conference if anyone has a link or more info I would really appreciate it

Hi there, my old rank in SC2 WoL was diamond, in LotV i have played the placement matchs and got silver, so far so good.
But the problem is that i am only facing high plat and mid diamonds. So it's very hard for me to win the games and i get the feeling that climbing will be very dificult, anyone with the same problem?
Ps.: I already quit the league tried the placement again and got silver again. 3/2 and the first time 3/2 too.
My MMR is 3775

3775 is in the high Platinum range. You are playing against those players because they are statistically fair matches for you. Your real question here is why are you not Platinum? The answer is because when you start new (5 placement matches), you have a provisional MMR which lasts for up to 25 games (you can see what your provisional MMR is by hovering over the ? icon on the match results screen). It inhibits promotions and makes your initial league placement intentionally conservative. Leaving League isn't going to get around it.
