Sad to hear that. I do not know how the EU scene is now, but after LaLuSh's post, NA's SC2BW channel has constantly had plenty of people to play with. | ||

Corsairs were better in every way in terms of cost, splash damage output, controlling skies and d-web utility. You would use scouts to rub it in on your opponent. ;d Scout was essentially always that good. It's a shame more people didn't/don't know about it. I liked getting scouts vs zerg, even if it wasn't the greatest move mathematically/logically to win. The reason why scouts still sucked is because they needed speed upgrade (200/200 and quite some time) for what you saw to work, as well as the fact that they are very expensive and terribly weak vs some of the cheapest and/or most common units in the game (marine, hydralisk, missile turret, dragoon). SC2 and/or Brood War would be so much cooler (better?) if it had scouts that start off with speed upgrade (and possibly 25-50 cheaper mineral cost); I'm so upset at some of the things Blizzard dropped the ball with. | ||

Scouts being so bad makes TvP mech much more possible early game. Needing to invest in marines when you need to be meching is an absolute pain (see Starbow  ). | ||

Investing in stargate and scouts in PvT is a pretty hefty investment. The amount of scouts needed to make a dent also take so long to produce that terran should have an armory by then. 225 minerals for a scout would be a fair price imo. | ||

Yeah man, it just wasn't cost efficient unless you were playing someone who was really behind or not at the same level as you. | ||

Would probably have been better if I'd waited for HotS and global play to post this thread. But can't wait forever on Blizzard to fix b.net only for me to be able to say what I want to say ^^ | ||

Second to Unit Preloader >_< Either I don't use arcade enough to know where to look, or I see what I see - I don't see it even top 30 in up and coming. NA, right? This is what we want to see, units that dramatically get more effective as you micro them better, not umicroable colossus, everything with aceleration and deceleration, making it hard for fast micro, or 1-a click spells. Seriously, what is Blizzard doing with their game. *player A focus fires collosus* *player B click collosus, clicks behind his army* Casters: OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THAT MICRO! AMAZING MICRO FROM PLAYER B! | ||
