Random master level SC2 players get all elitists but the fucking god of motherfucking Starcraft Broodwar respects the game, that's great to see. I hate LoL, but a very well worded good point, made me LOL hard, I'm not being sarcastic. But still, he is one of the most polite progamers out there and it is a joint interview with a LoL player, just saying.. | ||

Not saying that it is but that game isn't exactly a good example of it. Hellbat/Thor isn't mech, it's Protoss with Terran units. Mech involves using the Siege Tank as a backbone, positional play, turtling, and slowly creeping the map with depot walls and turrets, eliminating bases and securing advantages. The Siege Tank proved too strong in the WoL beta, but here we are 3 years later and the Siege Tank is nearly unused in non-mirror matchups. I think David Kim needs to start taking a look at the Siege Tank. If not only for balance, but for more variety in Terran play and interest for spectators. | ||

Not saying that it is but that game isn't exactly a good example of it. That's because there were many more failures than just Bombers. Relatively recently we had attempts from Maru, Dayshi, Beastyqt and Strelok using different openings and mid-game transitions. Of them only a single one worked and it was a 2 base all-in. | ||

Yes I agree, just Hellbats + Thors isn't mech. On August 19 2013 19:08 pmp10 wrote: That's because there were many more failures than just Bombers.

I'm aware of the current status of mech. But the Bomber Rain match shouldn't be used as an example for how good or bad mech is in HotS. That wasn't mech; He just massed Hellbats and Thors and a-moved into storms and Immortals. | ||

Not saying that it is but that game isn't exactly a good example of it. Since Kop? (I think) we haven't seen mech in Korea outside of TvT in HoTS... ever I think? If that doesn't show it's not viable then I have no idea what people need to do to make it obvious to you. There was a time when my fans like to give rulers to me as gift. Before every game, I use a 30CM ruler to measure my mousepad, the height of the Mouse Bungee, the distance between monitor and keyboard, etc. When I saw the rulers from my fans, I realized for the first time that there are so many kinds of rulers. Sometimes I receive 5-6 rulers everyday. And they are all different. Also this is the best thing I've ever heard. 5-6 rulers a day... damn he has quite the collection :D | ||

His offrace protoss looked as good as some of the worse dragons. This thread as usually is more sane than the reddit thread. On August 19 2013 16:15 Vindicare605 wrote: I hope Flash doesn't give up the Mech fight, he's one of the few pros I know of that are vocal about the issue of wanting Mech back for Terran. Very few pros have the kind of influence he does, maybe if he keeps voicing that opinion the devs might rethink their unilateral stance of wanting to keep Mech irrelevant. BW Mech was awesome to watch. Is that possible in a game where bio is so strong? Questionable. Would the casual playerbase survive going mech v protoss every time? Even more questionable. | ||

I remember 1 interview saying Bisu more suited for terran, more multitask. And Flash say Protoss is good for him. Turtling and composition and he like force field .... | ||

Could swear there's also older matches where Flash played a PvT as protoss and was ridiculously good. I think limited mobility mech is more interesting than hyper dps hyper mobile bio. | ||

 ). If the fans criticism is ignored and viewed as "hating" then hopefully Flashs opinion will be seen as feedback. | ||
