Widow mines also have very few weaknesses and will almost never kill nothing. Perhaps if they didn't attack air, if they unburrowed to fire, or if they took damage from their own splash, they'd be more reasonable to beat. Also, contrary to what David Kim appears to believe, being unable to predict the outcome of a battle is not a good thing. | ||

When you see an army of Marines and Widow Mines, it comes down to the skill of the players in that specific battle. Or how random the mine hits | ||

Also, contrary to what David Kim appears to believe, being unable to predict the outcome of a battle is not a good thing. He didn't say that the result is random. He said that who microes better wins. I think that fights which involve widow mines are much funnier to watch than tanks in TvZ. But then again, I speak as a viewer who doesn't play that matchup. | ||

The only thing that was a little bit iffy about this situation report is the widow mine replacing siege tank statement. I want to contínue to see siege tanks used more frequently. The good thing is, I don't believe Blizz will need to take action, but that Terrans will need to develop their meta a little further, and that we'll see a mix of siege tanks and mines in the future. | ||

Also, contrary to what David Kim appears to believe, being unable to predict the outcome of a battle is not a good thing. Yes it is. Otherwise, micro would be an utterly useless concept. I you can look at both player's army and say "X will win this engagement", then it is very wrong. It does not mean there aren't case like that (for example, huge supply differences), but even in these case, an excellent player has the possibility to micro his way towards a come back, and that's far more interesting than knowing you'll just watch a 2-10 minutes death animation... It mustn't be easy, but the fact that it's possible makes it far more enjoyable to watch... | ||

In otherwords, ForGG had no skill when he lost all his full Medivacs to his own Widow Mines when he played Stephano. Apparently, to David Kim, that had nothing to do with chance.[. Uhm, uhm uhm. You are at fault now, David Kim hasnt even mentioned that particular moment and he didnt even mention widow mines was never chance --- When i play terran, itsvery easy to win with the widowmines, i feel i always have the upperhand, and when i play zerg its hard as hell always, i feel my opponent has the upper hand at all time with terran (when he stabilize with good economy ) But ofcourse, my zerg opponents are master level, AND most important they are not experts vs widowmine AND NEITHER AM I so in time, zerg should become better against it, and so will i BUT STILL its unfair imo I feel zerg needs something buffed I still love the widowmine, no a-move and stuff, makes it alot more dynamic for the zergs view | ||

uh what? I feel like we're missing an explaination of how this is skill and not random its probably how the terran playing burrows /unburrows / postions / targetfires - the mines , and splits the bio. and from zerg how they flank / bait shoots / surround / split their ling bling | ||

What stupid and bullshitty thing to say, that terran player believe in such statement is just so silly. | ||

There were some post of me and you discussing about Mines and you were pretty sure they can be "focused" manually by the player. I suppose, this is the skill DK is talking about. I disagree and just see Innovation run far from mines early enough the allow them hit only the Zerg army and prevent the friendly fire.For me there is no skill at using widow mines, just burrow them. Tanks requiere spreading and focus fire banelings WHILE run with stimmed marines...Where is the skill ,DK??? And about predictible...For sure,when you see a huge army of Zerg approach siege line usually you can say who will win,but still if the terran focus well,spread well marines,maybe can win,but with widow mine YOU NEVER KNOW: They maybe hit ALL the banelngs,or mutas,or lings or you army....I suppose living this in hands of LUCK is fun to watch.Ask ForGG when his mines just smashed his own army in 4 full medivacs... | ||

(Making this article appear in "Spotlight" wasn't enough it seems... *sigh*) Whatever man. Hellbats come out of a factory, get upgrade by armory, and for some bizarre reason go well with the rest of my mech army. You refusing to make them and say "mech no viable pvt" (which is a statement that you kinda took out of your ass, I saw strelok beat mana yesterday with it) just shows you don't know anything about mech tvp. | ||

Widow mines are complicated.You don't know what's gonna happen before the battle.Their range is much smaller.It depends on the individual skill of the players(how they split,how they attack) A good terran can control his mines better,he has the micro to split the bio and target with mines(which is not that easy). A bad terran might blow up his whole army(with the help of a good zerg). There you go Wax. | ||
