Faced some bullshit today in my placement, earlier today. ZvT on Antiga: I decided to go with a big Roach/Baneling bust to end it quick. I did everything perfect, got about 10-12 Roaches out with 10 banelings, charged into his three bunker wall...killed everything...started owning his Marines with my Roaches, no tanks in sight...
Then all of a sudden I get the game over screen saying I have lost the game. Luckily I got placed into diamond regardless but WTF, that had to be a drop hack. I didn't push any buttons that could have possibly surrendered the game, I didn't leave early, I was fucking dropped. No internet problems either.

Yoshi, I know you have like five accounts but drop hacking is considered cheating

She's really good. A bit inexperienced against Korean strategy due to only practicing on NA ladder, but mechanically very strong. A good team to coach her on high level strategy should make her into a real contender at MLG. She generally has good decision making and does lots of little things better than most foreigners.

dragon smurfing above silver league? thats just silly.
He needs to go cyborg like Flash. I'm sure he has the money for it.
As much as phrases like this are silly and nonsensical, I feel like they've added a strong quotient of 'fun' to the laddering process. There are games that are crazy tense and then you get fun relaxing games as well. There's a lot more surprises coming my way with the greater variability of players.
Liking it a lot.

Its pretty dumb for top GM since why the fuck would they want to play lower skilled players...;
edit: even i, why would i want to play lower level plays, i want to get better

I'm 99% sure if I was bothered to I could find quotes from Idra about how he doesn't take ladder seriously for practice purposes, and many more from other pros, so ultimately its meaningless.
Besides, Blizzard had to increase the possible scope of matches simply because the userbase is shrinking.

they announced hots units.
no lurker though, units would be op as fuck if they decided to put it.
But atleast it isn't a burrowed moving baneling, that would be OP!
or a building that literally no unit can run by without dieing
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
The shredder is nowhere near as OP as burrowed banelings though :/
Shredder: DEAD
Replicant: DEAD
Viper: BUFFED LOLOLOL

This is huge... taking away the replicant was an obvious choice, but the shredder? Really now...
So much for being "safe" as terran when heading out with their army, identical to how zerg and especially protoss can feel safe when moving out.

Yep.
Sounds like they want a Broodlord-type siege unit for both Terran and Protoss. I disagree, that reduces the uniqueness of each race.
I think they should just fix the Carrier. Make the Interceptor speed upgrade default and give it a NEW upgrade, maybe some kind of regenerating Hull when not in combat so you can recycle them better with micro.

Even with all the mentioned buffs, they still wouldn't be able to touch 40+ mutalisks... the Tempest however, is supposed to rip the mutas open with just a few shots.
if only protoss had archons, storms, stalkers or phoenix.
How does the tempest sound different than the carrier? Just buff the fucking carrier.
Also, protoss gets shit all units that are going to change gameplay in HoTS. Fucking bullshit. Not one new ground fighting unit, fuck you blizzard.
Also the most OP "new" unit in HoTS will be the battle hellion. Hellions are already ridiculous against a lot of shit, then you buff them against everything else? Trolololo blizz. Zerg is the race that gets all the new cool shit though.

Psionic Storm + Archons already handles Mutalisks ok in PvZ, which is why Mutalisks aren't as common now. Phoenix with range also works. There is no need for a strictly anti-Mutalisk unit. All it does is make Zerg not build Mutalisks, so you don't build the Tempest, and then we end up with less unit variety.

It's statistically proven that protoss players don't know their own units until they're in GM so...
its difficult to give protoss new ground units when protoss ground upgrades are unified.
new factory units encourages more time and money spent on the armoury, new protoss air would ideally give you an excuse to spin up your cybercore past the 8minute mark.
with zerg, the swarm host and upgraded hydras split attention between range and melee as now it is atleast somewhat conceivable to build lategame hydras.
for a new protoss ground unit, they'd pretty much have to reaver or dark archon it. either a pure caster or a unit that needs multiple unique upgrades to function and crippling units with necessary upgrades is kind of the zerg thing in sc2.

gives you vision of a structure and disables a structure.
in the case of zerg, a disabled roach warren/pool means you cant build roaches or lings.
The whole "Terran long range weapon to move siege lines", did they forget nukes exist and already do that?
If they make it into a siege cannon, all that will happen is Terrans will build those instead of siege tanks and there will be even MORE gridlock in TvT. Blizzard is so dumb sometimes.
As for anti-air spider mines, um, that's terrible. Why even have Turrets anymore? The Thor anti-air plus marines already keep Mutalisks under control just fine.

They're just pushing Terran away from bio towards mech, not sure if that's a good thing.

I'm getting the impression that HOTS could be a disaster in terms of balance. More hard counter units
Fuck hots, cnc generals 2 all the way.
