The system just went down for maintenance. I was winning a game but my opponent was being a ###### and was fleeing around the map. System shuts down, I get dropped. The extend some people are willing to go to be ###### is not suprising, but incredible anyway.

Void Ray wasn't a nerf depending on your point of view. Initial damage is weaker vs armoured and stronger vs everything else, making them less useless against other targets. At the end of the damage ramping, they're doing more damage vs everything. Less spammable and slightly more squishy seems like a fairly good balance to me.

I do this strat when I just pepper in high temps and haven't upgraded, or don't plan on upgrading, psi storm. It works fairly well since two high temps with full energy can dish out 8 feedbacks. You avoid a lot of the cost associated with high templar but still get a pretty big benefit which is 1 shotting, or heavily damaging, their medivacs.
I'm all about this new patch and I love just about every change. I can't wait to see how it changes the play.

Immortals have an ability too, as with pre patch 8 marauders, it is a passive one that you do not activate.
wel i got promoted to bronze should be a easy road atleast to gold not having any probs. Dont think ill make plat again like last patch before reset. :( because you can only get promoted one league at a time. but..im in plat in 2v2 now..which is what im focusing on yet again
The Thor rush as seen in the vid posted above seems to be perfectly viable, you can get one out and knocking on a base door by 6 minutes (and a second a minute later).
Do anyone consider the mouse sens to any important degree? I just keep it as default unless stupidly fast or slow, but I've never thought about tweaking it like in a FPS game.

Okay, I got two new keys from blizzard this morning. Now, I had been chatting to a mate who works in Blizzard and he said he <b>forward</b> me one of his <b>personal</b> keys, but this email looks like another wave of friend invites. So I may have another key on offer later, but don't go PMing me just yet as I have to check with some RL mates first.
I hate the placement matches. I've played them 5 times I think, and won all of them (-> platinum) except for one time when I lost two (-> silver). I hope they haven't fixed the reset bug yet, so I can play them again and lose a few on purpose if not otherwise. The games in platinum are simply just: build army, enemy kills army, gg. If I encounter same kind of resistance in the lower leagues, I'll just agree to leave the multiplayer to those who are better at it.

Anyone managed to nuke a singularity just as it ends in 2vs2? I think there was a video earlier in this thread.
Just whatever suits you.
I lost two matches in the latest placement 1v1 matches, so silver it was.
10 games later, I'm promoted back into gold.
Can't keep me out of gold!! :D
Out of curiosity, is there any rhyme or reason to the promotions yet?
Friends?
