I was a 2600 mage on BG9, please don't compare wow to sc2. wow is a joke of a game.


2600 =/= high end arena.

Yes, I know that -- high end arena is ~3000, maybe higher now. I played wow a long time, I still follow the arena scene today. Wow is a retarded game, you see the last tournament? Even the global champions from last year tried to run retarded comps they have never played before to try to beat the other team. In the end its what it comes down to, counter comping, its actually quite disgusting that people win so much money for playing this game. Theres skill in any game, especially a team game where you have to be coordinated. In the end wow is just a cash cow and blizzard does not really care about this game in the competitive scene.


So u havent been "end game" in either sc2 or wow and yet you are an expert enough to judge which game requires more skill? 2600 mage... let me guess wizcleave, cause thats hard right?


Since when do you have to be high end in any game to comment? I've played both games and I can comment on it's difficulty. It seems like you've completely missed the point here or you're just oblivious. My point is wow is about which comp vs comp, did you miss that? Or you felt like supporting my arguement by saying something like "you're wizard cleave haha, must be hard right?" ya it was easy BECAUSE I was wiz cleave. Nice one bro.

So he is good at StarCraft II? You still haven't changed anything with what you said.

All that matters is that he had to up his ante when he switched.

Anyway, this WoW talk is seriously retarded. Is IdrA on tomorrow?

Gamers are gamers. This debate is pointless. I'm pretty sure WoW isn't the only game they have ever played.

demolishing his base like paper....lol




If Catz didn't try to wait for 150 energy he could have taken out 20-30 scv's with 2 fungal growths (1 from each infestor) they were so clumped up before he maynarded them.


yeah he could have killed many more SCV's ..but that woulda just made the T push all in with the massive army he had anyway and still would won the game.....

all that creative tech rushing cost him the game ......no units to even think about killing the massive marauder/thor army that wrecked him. l

No we'll just get 300 threads saying "See, SC2 really doesn't take skill MBS automine huge group select dumb maps yaddayaddayadda BW RULES".

Or maybe that's what you meant.


Well i guess ill make the argument in this thread before that happens. High level WoW arena takes and insane amount of skill. A lot of which translates into high apm and the ability think very dynamically.


This.

Despite the imbalances in WoW, PvP Arena is actually pretty damn hard. TL people have this elitist attitude which kind of derives from the BW days, but realistically there are many games nowadays which require people to be just as on top of their game as SC 2, at least in terms of unit control and APM.



WoW pvp is still horrible because the game wasnt built for it and has to cater to two different crowds of people. It will never take as much skill as SC 2.


High level arena takes at least as much skill as Sc2. Random wow pvp takes as much skill as dominating the bronze league does. I think your miking the 2 up.



No, it doesnt. The fact Blizzard has to try and balance around two different aspects of the game makes it inherently more imbalanced.


Have you ever even seen high level wow arena? Ever watched it in person? The amount of things that go on in a single match boggles the mind.
Balance has little to do with how much skill people have in top level play... If you knew anything about the pro arena scene, you would know that there is no 1 specific comp is dominating it.



The state of the game is so fluid it's had dozens of compositions that were optimal or best. WoW is a mess with pvp balance and starting en e-sport out of that is flawed to begin with.


A game doesn't need to be balanced, or even good, to have a competitive scene.

There's even competitive rock, paper, scissors (I'm serious).

The same guy who struggled tonight? I'm not saying playing WoW makes you horrible at SC 2, but if someone came up to me and said WoW made them better at SC 2 I'd only say yes because they had experience in a tournament setting.
