Every time, without fail, Raynor players end up always being useless and I have to carry. Even as a level 3 Stukov, I do more to win than the Raynor players do the entire game. And it's literally every game. I can't remember the last time I had a Raynor team mate who wasn't useless.

And honestly? I don't even think it's their fault. I tried playing Raynor at level 13, and he is disgustingly bad. No mobile detectors, squishy, low damage units, high macro requirements. And the only unit worth using is incredibly expensive (Battlecruiser). Your only options really are spam battlecruisers or spam marines. Something Mengsk, Stukov, and Zagara do cheaper, faster, and with better units to boot.

Lately I’ve been encounting a lot more than usual players with maxed out levels and especially on “hard” difficulty, their profiles were fine, but looking at their playstyles and overall skill in game makes me doubt are these real dedicated players who legitimately earned max level or just some randoms who bought maxed out accounts with all commanders. They are not bad or terrible in game, but looking back on their played games counter i expect them to be more “skilled”? Just wonder if I the only person who sees this lately or I’m just being paranoid.

For example I just played with Zeratul game on Dead of Night, and we finished only on night 5, and looking at his match history he plays ONLY on Dead of Night with winrate of 50/50(!) That makes me wonder are those similar accounts legit or not

Want to see what other people thinking or do they have same thoughts

So with HH I normally play P2 Wing Commanders so have lower cooldowns on starport stuff. Wondering if folks agree with my choices on what to build. Usually I’ll pair this with two carrier galleons and hellbats / hellions.

Default / in most situations: Wraiths, imo by far the most versatile / best value.

However even with P2 sometimes I like to mix in some other stuff (bc of cooldown time). Usually I’ll throw in a BC or two (with mini Yamato attack on) but maybe I should consider Vikings more? Typically the only time I’ll use Vikings is if I need more ground aoe, or if I’m in a situation where I have say extra gas (Swann ally) and I’m losing a lot of units to a difficult mutator and just need more stuff.

In some niche mutator cases I’ll preferences BCs over wraiths as the base of my air army — specifically thinking of diffusion (wraiths tend to drift into range and take diffusion) and sometimes barrier (one shot from mini Yamato can make barrier a nonissue).

Others think about it the same?

Curious if it is possible.

TLDR So there is one person that spams homophobic, racist against Africans, pro slavery, anti Trump messages, sexist against women named DonnyIncel or something. I have blocked his accounts around 20 times and it is annoying to say the least. Unsure why he keeps making accounts to bother me. Apparently he thinks I am a karen, bitch and stupid for not having the same stances he does. He is on the NA server, do not get into an argument with him or he will message you every other week.

Seems like the random orbital strikes killed the temple solo? This is a design oversight right?

There are some people who are just beyond helping, here's a replay of this week's mutation. Focus on artanis for your 'pleasure'.

Inspired by the 'uncanny incredible mutation faces' from yesterday

So, you wake up in SC universe and you are, just like in this universe, the most popular guy around and all creatures would KILL just to hang around with you...

Bearing that in mind, who is the first commander that you would like to go out and have a drink with?

Also, who is the last commander that you would go out and have a drink with?

I'll go first...

I'd go out with Nova of course because she is super hot and looks like a cool and funny girl but if we take away her looks...

I'd totally go out with Stetmann (and Swann if possible... at the same time of course because Swann and Stetmann know each other from the time when Stetmann was still a human. I bet they have many good stories and they both seem funny as hell).

The last commander I'd go out with is... Artanis... (I'd totally ignore all Protos commanders because they have 0 sense of humor and just fly super straight... which is no fun at all). But Artanis definitely takes the cake here, beside being no fun at all he is such a nerd.

So, how about you?

Why is arguably the coolest protoss unit, only available to alarak? dont get me wrong his is an absolute masterpiece of a unit, but why is only available to 1 commander? like it would be so cool if artanis got the good old golden mothership or fenix the purifier one

I like how Nova`s gameplay fits her theme, and does so in a fun way. You have tiny super expensive army of super professional, which you really care about because you cannot afford losses both because of their price and because of production charges. So you protect them with drones, retreat, invisibility (upgraded ravens), heal, etc. And each of them, except marines, excels only at one things, but does it extremely well.

Not to mention that you can snipe enemies from distance in sniper style to avoid losses: with Nova herself (especially P3 Nova), siege tanks and triple shot ghosts.

P1 Nova even needs special preparation depending on what kind of enemy you face. So thematic.

Hello fellow raynor enjoyers,

I have a question for those who manage to push into high brutal levels.

I basically play everygame the same strat, I build a bio army to about 60-70 supply, i then make a second army to fill the rest of the supply, together with cooldowns this seems pretty strong and I dont get caught out of position.

Im trying to get to a personal next level, what other strats should I "get good" at?

If possible I try to avoid heavy air play, I dont enjoy the slow ramp up and I feel like I have no presence on the map.

How would you rate this units?

Also, it could be interesting if you rate then with a rate to each one from 0 to 10 and why : D
