Okay, so she makes one mistake and therefore loses. Fucking love how well designed this matchup is. Well done Blizz, SC2 is better than it's ever been, just keep listening to your echo chamber and watch the viewers and playerbase leave.


payback for bl infestor

Toss had Soul Train, so it balanced out back then.

don't forget archon toilet

I miss Archon Toilet.

How long did it take blizzard to tone down hellbats at the beginning of hots?
This is as retarded as hellbats were


Not too long. I felt like hellbats got nerfed pretty quickly.


But maybe in six months zergs will find the perfect combination of units to defeat this, and therefore nerfing is a mistake, right?


Sure, but as a note that Mass adepts have been a thing since at least January. I remember facing this build a lot back then (haven't played as much lately, but it is still popular I see). I remember raging against it quiet a bit

Mass adepts have been a thing since they were introduced, and yet Blizzard refuses to nerf them harder.


Since release of LotV PvZ was in awful state for over half year, barely hovering above 40%. Blizz didn't do anything to fix that, and when toss found some answers (Immortals) it got instantly nerfed. Why don't we say "hey let's give zergs more time to adapt!"?

They've had months to adapt and NO ONE has found an answer to a properly executed Adept all-in that isn't really an all-in because Toss can build a third and probes behind it because reasons. It's Soul Train levels of imbalance.

Are adepts supposed to make this game more fun? Is this a joke?

here is a good rule of thumb, if it takes less apm to execute harass than it does to stop it, it's too strong


Widow Mines? Liberators? Shift-dropping bio? All require way more apm to defend from those.

i like how this whole LR thread is now a salt mine. We have 1 toss in top4. Nerf instantly blizz pls!

you mistake salt for Scarlett losing with disgust caused by the third game


I see lots of salt. I know I'm salty as hell after today's ladder for sure. And damn I don't even like adepts, they're even ruining PvP nowadays.

The problem with these adept styles is that you need a lot more supply defending that stuff 100% than the attacker needs to invest. Adepts simply shade from A to B and wherever is less supply you stay/shade there.
In the meantime you kill workers.

Adepts would maybe work as a harass unit if they weren't tanky at all. They are though which means you need a lot of army at either place to defend reliably.

Marines are basically the perfect all-around unit, but there's at least something that can be done against them. Adepts just seemingly do whatever the fuck they want.

Ask yourself

Why you can't mech in TvZP
Why other races need that much aoe
Why protoss needs forcefields
Why you're stuck doing the same basic builds since 2010

That was patched out pretty early though. Those infestors broke every matchup in professional play for some time.

Maybe the problem is zerg, whenever roaches are supposed to be the solution its not a solution. lol
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.
