Mass late-game carriers DOES NOT WORK.

Why do players keep doing it?

It does work. Squirtle just had a terrible engagement using vortex badly and had 40 extra supply in his stargates.

yup. carriers are exponentional, same as tanks. he only had like 12 carriers, if you get to a stage where like 160 of your 200 supply is in carriers (so upwards of 25 carriers) there isnt much Z can do

Carriers on Metropolis again, what a surprise. Seems like this game needs two small chokes leading into FIVE bases in order for Terran and Protoss capital ships to even have a slight chance of being constructed. Mapmakers, please figure out a way to make this possible without making as blatant as this map.

well to go carrier you need to have those 5 base with a maxed army and a huge bank, it is possible on a map like daybreak, but it is much much much more common on a map like this, due to the 2 small chokes to 5 base as you said

Thats my point. This map is pretty much the only one I've seen where its possible since you basically only need to bounce your army between those close chokes to be able to make that super army. I think maps will play the biggest role in this game unless Blizzard makes major game engine changes (which I doubt happens)

Oh and I'm not complaining, I'm just making observations if anyone thought otherwise.

Edit: I should have said "super economy".

Of all the things to vortex, your own carriers was not the best choice, Squirtle

he was trying to vortex the infestord terrans, as they destroy carriers so fast

Instead he seemed to have gotten most of his interceptors :p

Corruptors......................................just kill carriers. You just need to make many of them and there is no amount of carriers that can be effective. Squirtle should have harrassed more, kill the spires, so Ret had no answer to carriers.

Hilarious engagement.

Turns out carriers can't kill corruptors when all your interceptors get vortex'd...who knew?

The Carrier Effect:
Carriers win = BLIZZARD ARE YOU WATCHING!!!!! LEAVE CARRIERS IN THE GAME
Carriers lose = why would you ever build carriers?


I reminds me of zergs whining about Ultralisks.

You know this used to be exciting but it's metropolis, it happens every damn time I'm just absolutley sick of matches like this.


You'd prefer a 2 base all-in at 11:00?

Yes.


That makes me sad.

GG Ret. :D

Maps that force all in/rush play are bad maps. Maps that force late game turtlefests are also bad maps. I don't like Metropolis any more than I liked Scrap Station.

So, is this the direction SC2 is going? Where are the multi pronge attack? Where are the microing? Where are the multitasking skill? All I see is slow muscular units punching each other.
