The usual: Don't flame casters or players. Don't discuss balance in this or any LR thread. Don't call your fellow posters idiots. Be excited, happy and entertained.

This is awesome. Right up there with the "The British National anthem is a lie" during Flash vs Ret.

get storm with your air army then.

So you're saying that if protoss has a unit other that HT/colossi that can deal with marines (and oracles still aren't cost-effective, MC just had superior numbers) it's a design/balance flaw?

Seriously?

I'm not gonna comment on balance that last game, but I just think that was pretty hilarious!
Cmon MC!! Sorry MVP there needs to be a better racial distribution for day 3.

i have no idea why you're mocking the idea that properly splitting your army should allow you to defend against oracles

It's mocking putting 10 marines from a barracks to kill 4 oracles from a stargate.

Oracle is fine mvp has not practiced hots a ton probably is not super familiar with all the timings and that. Its certainly stoppable and he was even pretty ready for it just not quite enough marines there. Mvp could have stopped that.
I think its cool to see protoss finally able to harass early on so a good protoss can attack if they want like that.

Hah no way. More early game options please. I'm so sick of WoL's NR15. Like the safest build for almost every race was a quick double expand and it was so hard to punish.

Don't force macro. It will happen when two skilled players are unable to gain an early edge on the other naturally.

Yep exactly. So sick of this 3 base default bullshit. Let the players be aggressive. If race A has too powerful of an offensive option, give race B an equally powerful offensive weapon as well, not some fucking defensive buff...

it wasn't even close though...not a single oracle died too? wth

Do you also freak out when 5 Colossus kill 50 marines? Normally units that counter the other unit do beat them in an engagement, that's kind of the point. Marines do have free targetfiring against oracles because they outrange them.

It's not that oracles are more cost-efficient than marines.It's that marines is the only thing terran has at that point and if they die there's nothing left to protect the mineral line.

So yeah,very strong opening but i wouldn't say it's imbalanced.

Blizzard should not touch balance at all for the next two months. These guys make a living off of the game, let them figure things out. If we lived with GGlord Winfestor in WoL for a year, we can deal with speedvacs, Imba Void Rays and other shit for a couple months.

5 oracles should beat 10-15 marines in a mineral line. At that time, a turret is fucking obvious. I mean he saw the first oracle go across the map and it didn't hit him for 3 minutes. I'm sure he won't make the mistake again.

Why would this help? Just get a goddamn engineering bay.

You didn't smell sarcasm in my reply to him? My point was that it's easy getting ebay + turrets by the time 4-5 oracles are out.

Story of HotS: Nobody building automated defense, everyone losing to HotS units and abilities.

It's not Wings anymore. HotS is much more aggressive and entertaining to watch. And I'm loving every second of it.

Is fun, agressive and entertaining because is not dissected yet. Wait 2 years and games will be much more stable.
