Why don't Raven Hunter Seeker missles see use to target down Sentries?

- You used a 11/11 strategy in the 3rd set.
On certain maps, when the terran player has good control, the 11/11 strategy can be a nightmare for zerg players to hold. I feel like I can win 95% of those games. When I use them against my teammates they get mad at me, so I only use them on the ladder against random people.

Nice point, sentries are quite slow they shouldn't be able to outrun them easily.

Also, forcing sentries back would allow MMM to get closer.....

Random question, hopefully this is the right place:

TvP, when going against a standard deathball style toss (stalker/sentry/collo/zeal), and using marauder/ghost/marine/viking/medivac... what's the general ratio of medivacs to vikings, and about how many ghosts do I want to have?

I feel like I mgiht overproduce ghosts, and underproduce vikings.

Also, if in my noobishness I'm missing many contributing factors, please shout.
Thank you!

ALso if this is the wrong place, please yell at me.

How important is mouse accuracy in being good at SC2? Obviously if I take my time I can click accurately with ease, but if I try to move really quickly, I VERY rarely land on where I want. For example, I positioned a probe on the lower left area of my screen and another one on the upper right part of my screen, and when I tried to go from lower left to upper right and click on the probe there, I kept missing over and over - needless to say, my wrist felt kind of funny because I was putting too much effort into being accurate, and it was pretty irritating. If I go a bit more slowly it's much easier, but I'm just wondering how important it is to have really accurate clicking when you drag your mouse really quickly to do so if you want to be good.

Main reason why I'm wondering about this is because Day9 stressed mouse accuracy in one of his dailies, where he also mentioned to click on individual things rather than box them. He said that a remedy is to just adjust your mouse so you're comfortable, but I don't really think that helps you actually get fast drag-click accuracy because the distance always varies - there's a natural distance for your hand to drag if you go really quickly, and it's very hard to control.

This question was asked to MKP after beating Revival (found in this thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=231576), can someone explain this 11/11 build to me or link me to a replay?

You probably have mouse acceleration on. I'm pretty drunk right now, but if it's on then you definitely need to turn it off. Google turning off mouse acceleration. Essentially you want your mouse movements to be "linear" so that any combination of wrist movements in any order will produce the same outcome. So if you do a left, right, and up movement of same distance and speed, but then do left, right, and up, twice as fast, you should end up in the same spot. with acceleration, since it's dependannt on velocity, you can end up in vastly different spots. with acceleration off, you can develop "muscle memory" with your mouse settings and resolution.

Ghosts do the same job job for a cheaper price while at a longer range. To get HSM, you need the HSM tech, Corvid reactor tech, lots of time, and some ravens. This all more expensive AND less effective than a ghost casting EMP.

I'd love it if someone answered this. What is 11/11?

I posted about this earlier but has anyone else noticed the team colors screwing up in game? Sometimes when I play or watch a replay my minimap colors will be different from the colors on the buildings and units. The other night I was watching Minigun's stream, and he was green on the minimap and red on the main screen.

I know you can switch the colors of the units based on yours, allies, and enemies, but doesn't that also change the color of the units and structures? I thought it was just my computer doing it, but now I've noticed it on a stream, my PC, and another PC. I just saw someone playing the game where their minimap showed them as green, and they were red in game...

I'm so confused x_x
