If you get bad speeds, I can PM a link where you can dl the VODs.

At some point the download stops and some question marks pop up. Mind sending that link?

i actually think +1 attack is good for the first stat because it allows you to kill creeps faster and you want to level up asap in this game

Corvette, +1 attack at start = automatic epic fail.

it applies even more for soul hunter
the ht character starts with 75 mana, which is enough for his first aoe skill.

Most imba heroes:

1. Genesic (its impossible to outrun, easy to use)
2. Abel (sick damamge, sick range, teleport) extremely easy to play and hard to avoid
3. Clif walking dragon (extremely hard to kill, does massive damage) and again easy to play

there are probly others too. Either these require nerfing or the bad heroes require buffing. I would say those 3 are probly on the same level so they are not so imba against each other, but against weaker heroes its just bullshit.


Altho im usually able to counter rampage, Genesic is a bit imba i gotta admit, its way too easy to use.

as for abel and black wyvern, their easy to kill as shit (try lur cellant nightmare hook)


Dont get me wrong. Its just from my experience that those heroes are way more powerful than others. Its almost impossible to lose in public game no matter what heroes your play. Some just feel so much stronger than others.


yeah some feel sooooooooo powerful, with long range so you have difficulty getting to them at all, or need no skill to use

I disagree with the current "Pending" desync bug, this is actually a good thing to have.

By the way, I'm still trying to report Berr Nine is currently bugged. Unable to get ANY ultimate when choosing Snipe/Cloak.

And to be fair to others, I'll go ahead and agree that yes, there does need to be a slightly higher cooldown on modes like Rampage and Knight. 20 seconds of downtime really isn't much for something so incredibly powerful. Genesic himself doesn't need to be nerfed, modes just need longer cooldowns or shorter durations.

And finally, does anyone happen to have any pro replays of good Ron usage? I really can't seem to get the hang of him at all.

This is me playing vs 2 of my buddies. My other teamates sucked and it was my 5th time playing with Gazette but overall I think its a satisfying game.

It hardly makes a difference. I'd say around 75% of the time, someone will drop on load.

The problem here is that the Genesic fires his 'minions' from a distance, those minions can walk cliffs, his movement speed increases by 30%, when combined with the still active charge probably only ZeDait could outrun him, etc. Lots of heroes can't run from that for 20 seconds. it would already be better if his minions couldn't cliffwalk, or preferably if charge is disabled in that mode, since he's already tripping on steroids, how would he pull off an extra charge anyway?

In my opinion, GeneSic is OP, at least in most games, because not every game has a pro that can outmicro him, but every game has noobs which can just activate the mode attack and sit back. this means there has to be an unbalanced amount of skill for an even game, which means it's OP.


So you can't just invest gas into a teleport? You can't use tactics like slows from a distance as you see him coming because you were controlling the xel naga towers and pre-emptively start backing towards your base? Or set up a trap for him like Berr Nine's mines stacked like mad near the path to you? Point out with a ping that he's coming and have a teammate gank him with you?

I know my Janne De'Arc strategy to deal with him was very hero specific but almost everyone has a way to avoid getting torn up by Genesic. Not all heroes have a way of directly dealing with him but everyone has a way of dealing with him whether it's just being very watchful or using micro or double-teaming. Wasn't that always the best way to deal with someone in any type of PvP where someone was a major threat? Pretty much always the way I saw it anyway; team up to eliminate a high priority target.

Not every game has a pro but every game has three heroes on a team that can overpower a single hero if they all attack in an ambush. Dying to a player that chose a mode over another ultimate is usually your own fault, not the fault of the game being imbalanced.

Not that my personal opinion counts for much but I tend to find every single hero in the game is great when used properly. Expand on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Use teamwork and don't ever pick Ron. (Just kidding about the Ron part, but he happens to be my worst hero. =P)


sure i invest everything i can in speed/teleport when encountering a genesic. but only abel was teleport. blinking with the other claasses is just as fast as merely running away for someone bad at micro like me, while you can simply rightclick after me as the genesic player, meaning you need less skill, meaning it is imbalanced, since higher skill should mean higher win ratio. the other problem is that in 99% of the games your teammates either won't help or leave: while randomly joining a game on your own it's impossible (for me so far at least) to get people to actually kill that guy. and if you do, there are still other heroes, they're given a free farming license while you lose 2 mates to a genesic when you DO succeed (yeah, my games are that bad).

my point is: since you need more skill to get away and strike back from/at a genesic than the other needs to command the genesic, this means there is an imbalanced amount of skill involved in an even match, meaning the hero itself is imbalanced. sure not every hero is the best choice against another, but 1. you don't know before you choose your hero that your opponent is a genesic, 2. there are a LOT of heroes that can't run properly from a 12 speed (mode+charge) Genesic, not just a few that are bad, al most all of the are bad.

Isn't that like saying "SC2 is imbalanced because a 6 pool or cannon rush is something anyone can pull off and only skilled players can defend against it"?

People are slowly getting better at CoT so in time, you'll be able to more easily combat such things with a random group but again, that's the thing, you're playing in a random pub.

I'll admit that I still die to moderately good Genesics in randoms and often times will not be able to do anything about it. I just don't let it bother me as much. Genesic is good when used properly and hasn't had the nerfs that Lurcellant did. I tend to avoid them as much as I can in the late game as they're usually quite a bit stronger by that point.

A ron replay

I got others but this one was fun, against a sylon and zeros working together

I used potions, You need to be able to spam the nydus worm and poison in between the nydus, if you put gas in mana you won't ever have any mana to spam nydus

You guys should try using potions to beat genesic

I love this map! I've played each hero several times now.

I've noticed a few things. Hades is extremely powerful against melee heroes early game. The dark tower has over twice the life of the wimpy marines and can be brought out by lvl 2. Many beginners get killed by this, get too far behind and either leave early or feed the other team with exp/gas the rest of the game. To counter this, change lanes with a ranged player or kill the dark tower right when he casts it.

Genesic is also extremely powerful early game. If you're going up against a genesic, watch for when he gets 300 mana and keep your distance. Also utilize the xel naga watch towers so you can run before he gets to you. Later on, you can buy health/shield/potions to just kite him. After that, he will most likely go for your defense. At that point, you should rush him and nuke him. Hopefully you will gain sweet revenge. You can also use towers defensively. I've trapped players like that on hills by spamming towers at the top, they see me (not the towers), rush me and get blown up before rampage can kill me. An acceptable nerf to rampage would be to cost 350-400 mana and 2 minerals to purchase.

Ranged and/or skilled players should play middle early. I had great success ganking skilled players in the left and right lane last night with Guard Fire.

Please read this beginner guide! http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/1920713884

Many mistakes I see new players make:

Not killing exp boxes and trucks early game, mid game, and late game. It's always free gas and exp. If you're going somewhere, always travel close to the exp areas in each lane and kill them with an aoe spell.

Auto attacking mid game and late game. I max out mana regen before I buy almost anything else (exception is booster). At that point, even with melee heroes, I pretty much never auto attack, I just spam spells.

“That hero is OP.” I get this a lot. My hero is not OP, you just suck. If you notice someone who is doing really well, don’t just switch to that hero. Odds are, you won’t do nearly as well. Watch the replay, see how they did so well. The skill gaps in this game are tremendous! I rarely lose auto join games anymore and only lose if it’s 1v3 if the other team has decent players. I sometimes compare the skill gaps in this game to Blizzard’s ladder system. I consider myself a CT diamond player. If I was diamond in a quick match and played a bronze, I would destroy the bronze. The same is true for CT. The bottom line is that the game is mostly balanced. Some heroes counter others, but that’s where teammates come in.

Tunnel (lane) vision. Remember to look on the minimap. Many smart players will scroll around for low health players to gank. You should also kill your teammates’ mobs if one of them dies. Better you kill them than the gun turrets.

Hey All!

My friends and I are looking for competition. (Team of 3.)

Add me: Honker / Code: 907

NamelessZero - We would definitely be down to play your team in private matches. Anyone else let me know.

oh god yes, i got this retarded "LOL IMBA HERO, SO OP" with every single hero i got. i always random, so i dont have any influence and its really getting on my nerves when ppl whine all the time about OP heroes, only because they can't play.

but mostly the games i randomly join end pretty boring. the overall skill is too low and thus ends in noob bashing with them leaving in the end. and i dont know how often i won 1v2/3. its only real fun when you face people of your equal skill who can use more than 1 skill per 2 seconds...

Actually at the moment, I've had some people move on to other customs and altogether leave for other games so I'd have to face you with some of my friends rather than clan mates. Perhaps Deken and Marcus could join me to play with you guys in a friendly match.

I'm not the best CoT player by a long shot so don't look to get an amazing match.

I'd have to say if there was a ranking system for CoT, I'd be maybe low level Diamond. There's still a few tricks I've gotta learn here and there as well as gathering how to play a few select heroes a bit better.

If I were to recommend a high level non-Korean CoT player for you, I'd say try to get in touch with a guy named Justin. Very experienced CoT player and I'd rank him as a "Master's League" player compared to the numerous players I've faced.

Nameless Zero can you tell me exactly about the Berrnine bug? So when you pick cloacking, there are skills you can't use? i can't test it right now so i don't know how to tell maxstorm.

Justin is the first player from this forum i've played with a lot and he is really good.
I guess he is probably much better by now (i haven't been able to play the game for a month now
so busy lol). He would probably play like the non-pub korean clan level.

If you guys feel that Modes (melee ulti) are too powerful (in lasting time and cooldown time)
i'll suggest some fix to maxstorm. Don't know if it will work since i haven't seen any claims
in korean sites. I do know that the best player in korea played mode during tournament
once and killed the other team pretty badly and ever since that happened, more people
are testing out best builds for modes. (instead of buying mana potions, they buy health
potions etc)
