I don't see where I would have offended anybody and there were no warnings either? He just closed it with the words "How do you suppose the game goes for the player to get out 3 ravens go across the entire map, place down turrets in these ideal locations and not be killed before?" But I wasn't saying at all that you should just make 3 ravens and go turret harrassing I just pointed out that with only 3 ravens you could wall in the enemy probes and that that seemed a good idea to me. I would really like to hear the reason, if you would make the effort to explain it to me. I'm new to this forum (read the guidelines) and so I would like to know what I did wrong. Seriously.

Regards baas It's a discussion based off a scenario or situation. A replay would probably be the best way to show Ares that his skepticism is wrong. That's my understanding at least. You can always p.m Ares too! | ||

I have to say rereading my initial post I may see how one can get the idea that i meant: Build 3 ravens. Wall in the enemy probe line with turrets. Win. But that was in no way what I intended. My points were: - there are terrans that use mass turrets to harass worker lines, even pros sometimes - I think when you go for that, you could improve this tactic by preventing the opponent from pulling away his workers and thereby limiting the amount of damage such a harrass deals significantly. A way to do this would be to wall in his probes or at least try to make it more difficult for them to retreat, because every couple seconds you get will potentially increase his losses. Why not placing turrets in this case deliberately then more or less randomly, since as a lot of people said, the raven energy is precious. - You don't need an insane number of ravens to pull of such a wall in, often already 3 would be enough. I never wanted to say: "take three ravens and not more". The 3 raven were just meant as an example. - You may consider splitting your ravens into different groups to do the wall in quicker and simultaneously. -Concerning the evidence: I've uploaded a picture that illustrates one possibility to do such a wall of and I mentioned the games to show that it at least worked for me in a game. - as I repeatetly made clear later on in the thread, I wasn't saying you should go for turret harrass, I just wanted to say, if you do that, there may be a more efficient way to do it. So I would gladly edit my initial thread by those points, if that would help to reopen it again. I'm sorry if there was a misconception about my intentions. | ||

Wondering why this thread was closed by kennigit, no explanation given. I think it is a topic that deserves discussion. AKA Xeris taking the seat from a contest winner at MLG Anaheim and generally doing it in a very haughty way. | ||

Seems like asking for tips is against the 'guidelines'. I thought these were discussion forums. At least I confirm my previous impression on these snob forums - everything is in the guidelines according to TL snobs and it doesn't matter that my particular case is not mentioned. I could have elaborated my question, but he, it is better for the e-peen to lock the noob thread. These forums are still unworthy for non-sect members and when I need tips and help, threads are immediately locked if they are not TL geekish enough. I will stick to watching streams and news (at least this site is still good for that) and if that is ok, do not ban me. I won't write on your precious forums anymore. User was banned for this post. | ||

Here is your post. I am not an expert, but this map is a bit terrible for me. It is all choke points and bottle necks, which is the heaven for terran's ranged only units. Any tips accept from voting it down? Let us break it down. You need help on a map, you don't tell us what you need help with, just about how Terran is imbalanced with ranged units. You do not state what you are having trouble with, you just say it has choke points and bottle necks. You do not include any replays or examples of what is causing you to lose on this map. Any tips? What are we giving you tips on? You didn't tell us anything else. The help threads are not all locked, just ones that have no effort in them like yours. You even admitted you could have made it better. | ||
