I miss the Neural Parasite spell. I miss Spanishwa.
I'm thinking...is Viper abduct + Infestor NP a bad spell combo? You can use a colossus or a siege on your side and when NP goes off kill it.

When binding all your Gateways/Warpgates to one control group, what do you do to morph the gateways into warpgates? Do you have to Control-Click the gateways and then morph them, or is there a faster way to do that?

(can't try it right now but) I believe you can TAB to switch between the two subgroups. But test it, cuz I'm not sure.

Q: In SC2 ladder system, is there some incentive to play regularly, similar to how WoW and Hearthstone have daily quests / resting? (sorry, i still don't quite get that) In other words, do you get more XP by playing a little every day versus playing a lot once a month.

Tab is the default key but you can remap it (to say a button on your mouse) but that is how you swap between different groups of units/buildings in a control group.

The ladder has a bonus pool when you play ranked that accumulates over time, when you lose and have an active bonus pool the points come out of that compared to losing points. You also get bonus XP for the first game of the day I think, but if you play regularly this is meaningless because you will cap out at the max level for your race(s) quickly.

no it is not. infestors got worse and Bio are even more mobile than in WoL, so most games I see players goin for broodlords they just gets demolished by drops and never even gets to push with their broods.

MMR isn't reset, unless you don't play any games for an entire season. Then you will have to replay all 5 placement matches instead of just 1.


If Zerg's Blinding Cloud hinders their own units if they get in the cloud, why does Protoss's Time Warp not slow their own units if they enter the time warp?

are there any custom / arcade maps to practice battle micro? microing big engagements is by far my biggest weakness, sometimes I've got the feeling I would do better with zero micro. (I'm diamond atm, and I've never played any arcade maps.)
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Played a ZvT where a terran went mines ONLY. I took 2 bases early, however he had only acces through one ramp cause i destroyed rocks @ third blocking access.

He basically started getting into my base with ~10 mines. I had a spine and a spore at every base but over time he simply swarmed me and kept some mines on top of the ramp, stopping my units from reaching a central position.

When I reallocated my spines, he simply moved away his mines cause he's faster at doing that, and so got into my mineral line. I should have probably spammed spines, but I tried to solve the problem going muta, which was a bad idea. During all of this more mines streamed into the base, reaching maybe 30-40 mines spread around before I quit.

Is there a simple yet effective way to prevent this?

Roaches. Roaches and mines are both 75/25, but if you're on 2 base, and he is just on one, you'll have a better econ. He'll want to do damage, or you'll get to far ahead. Have map presence with the roaches, but do not force an engagement. If he is just going mines, he'll have to continue to unburrow and burrow them to get closer to your base. Only engage when they are unburrowed, and start having a presence on his side of the map. By the time he gets to your base, he'll already have lost enough that he won't be able to do much damage. A roach will also survive a widow mine hit, so with proper splitting, you should never lose a roach. Roaches are also good against marines, which is most likely to be his supporting unit.

And if we want to get really situational with your game, if he is only making widow mines, just wall off with evolution chambers and/or a hatch, and he'll never be able to do damage.

Same reason why, if Protoss' storm damages friendly units, why does Zerg's fungal growth not?

Blizzard designed the game to work that way.

Got some free time coming up and I want to get back into it! So I made these for fun, lol

Can anyone recommend good sources for learning current meta-game or HotS strats for noobs? Looking to get my game back.

Thanks guys!

Mid masters toss here coming back after a ~400 day break from sc2.

In WoL meta, in pvt toss usually defended drop play without cannons at least until the super late game. Now with the medvac boost are cannons recommended?

Should I put 1 in each mineral line as I take my 3rd base?

Protoss Collosus Question

I had a question on the thermal lance. What's the AoE on it? Like how many units across does it continue to do damage? Does it also have depth? For example, if there is a marine is standing behind another marine, will it also get damaged?

I honestly don't know the exact answer to this, and google didn't come up with much help either. What you might want to try is fire up a testmap with a bunch of marines on one side and a collosus on the other, and simply see who takes damage.

What I do know is that the laser doesn't have depth. So if it hits one marine, it can't hit one exactly behind it. But what can happen is, since they tend to bunch up more randomly, it could hit a marine that is almost behind it but exactly crosses the line. I do also believe if the marines are perfectly lined up, it should hit around 7-8. But like I said, you might want to try it yourself
