lol other than the fact that this has been mentioned in a lot of threads i actually find this image quite amusing. I hope OP would've posted that on another of the other ones.

Wtf. Why would you ban him for this post. Its absolutely insane the income hes receiving from just 3 mules vs 38 probes.

Talk about biased censorship.

I look forward to being baned. Given that if you baned him you most certainly have to ban anyone defending his right to post this.

It is interesting, though, to note that 3 mules is equivalent to one fully saturated mineral line. So a terran who has 3 bases is effectively on 4 bases.

I'm not saying that its OP, but its an important thing to know as a player.

lol terrible thread (although I do think it is ridiculous at times) how mules can sustain so much income at no supply . . . but the match ups are pretty balanced so it doesnt matter.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

mules are TEMPORARY, this is (probably) on a gold patch, if you snipe mules you lose all that income, chrono boost makes workers OR production, mules can't mine gas, inject does both econ or production etc, etc, etc.

There needs to be context for stuff to make sense.

Well he could have screencapped 2 sec later when the income is at 300 or well mentioned that the terran had 3 mules saved up and that the toss had that one one base (waayyy oversaturated meaning like 15 of those probes aren't doing anything, the toss didn't have gas taken at his one base yet I believe).

It's just so biased...

I was watching the daily, and was waiting for someone to post this (in all fairness, day9 actually himself asked someone to post it on TL). Too bad he got temp banned though (been there), so welcome back after the 2 days.

Terran gets the ability to supersaturate while protoss can speed up not only the production of probes, but units/upgrades.

I don't see the problem.

day9 has been doing the sarcastic "terran op" "banshee get 50 kills" "planetary fortresses are invincible" for a while now

TL mods probably though it was funny too, a month ago, but probably get just super annoyed now

oh well, can't blame them, their forum their rules

What rule did the OP violate exactly? o.o

To little effort?


Basically doing everything he shouldn't in am imba thread:
- short, no effort whatsoever
- pathetic "proof" that doesn't take anything into account (how many patches are the probes mining off from example? theres 38 probes but if it was in 1 base then that's barely better than 24, etc)
- shortsighted argument
- completely unsubstantiated claim with no effort at a developed argument , or any elaboration beyond a picture and a sentence
- Covering a topic that's been beaten to death, and has been addressed by better players with better arguements.

1) Mules are not constant unless you have a lot of OCs. So it's a short stint of fast income, instead of a short stint of faster production capacity by the other 2 races.

2) This picture could very easily be miss leading. Say he dropped 12 mules at once. And this income tab was up while they all started to run out of energy. The video is paused, and the screen shot is taken while the number of mules reads "3", but the income has not yet adjusted accordingly.

3) Mules could be on gold, workers on blue.

4) Mules aren't going to be as effective if dumped on a fully saturated line due to the delay each time they try to mine minerals.

I am SOOOOO GLAD the admins are cracking down on these "thats so IMBA" fags...

and you know I'm not trying to say discussion about balance is a bad thing but, when there has been 30 other threads about the same thing created and you even acknowledge that fact in your post yet you still decide to make a thread SOMETHING IS WRONG.

I hope your not the guy who also tagged day9's facebook on this image and said "Terran was Imba, this is proof". I mean cmon thats a bit disrespectful and I'm sure he gets enough notifications as it is.

Watch the last day9 daily. It was a base trade situation, the T had to lift his CC to the island and had 0 workers left. He dropped 3 mules from the energy generated while flying and was earning roughly half (the numbers kept shifting) the mineral income as the P who had a fully saturated base.

Yes it's temporary, yes the other races have macro mechanics, no neither of those other mechanics are a direct transfer between energy and minerals (over and above other saturation), no the game is not that simple, yes it's still a ridiculous thing to look at (and no, that's not necessarily a bad thing given the history of OP things from BW, but no, SC2 isn't BW).

I think the picture summed up what he was saying just fine unless you are not a Starcraft player. TL is like communist China when it comes to free speech.
