Actually I don’t understand why this talk goes on. If Stukov is that bad without bunkers then how do I play him all the time going tech + rax? Every time its an easy win. Pretty never used bunkers, even before patch. So am I a magician? Am I a grandmaster? A genius? No, I am just a usual SC player. Why making no bunkers is not a problem for me but is for so many others? May be players must simply accept a simple thing? Make units and go attack Is it that hard for a game where you must make units and attack?
A bunker must initially be a building where you put soldiers inside, not get them for free out. If you ask me I would nerf them even more - to a point of a… you know… bunker.
What none of you seem to take into account is that other commanders have been more OP than even the old Stukov and have not even been nerfed yet. Which means the “broken bunkers” argument does not hold water. One might not like the bunker strategy but it is a unique feature for Stukov. You can do brutal missions with queens + a few barracks as mineral dumps only. But such arguments are not relevant to the subject. Finally, nowhere it is said “brainless” strategies are forbidden. Afterall, mass cannons Zeratul is even more brainless in my view.
The endless off-track debate over a change that will never reverse… on a topic regarding the lack of communication from the team.
Are people really hoping this will be noticed just because Monk is in the title? Commander revamps will come but the recently/old-new changes will not reverse simply because one thing - it is way too recent.
Bunkers do have rally points but when you set them, you also move the Psi disruptor.
You are asking why do you need it.
Why not have it?
Beside you might strategically need them on a special occasion such as when you are sending two teams of Infested into two separate targets.
And besides Infested Bunker play was dear to lot of us, so when they greatly nerfed we were shocked. We can accept changes and nerfs but when the developers nerf something we like significantly to a certain point, we have to talk about it.
If you are sending 2 teams of infested to separate targets you are supposed to control those infested directly… following the beacon mindlessly is part of their identity
Also infested Bunkers are fine… they were nerfed, but that just means you need to Occasionally use Broodlings for defense or Some Marines for Offense. Mass Bunker is still a valid strategy. (just not the best… for best strategy you stop at 10-14 Bunkers and use the rest of the minerals on a stream of Marines (5 Barracks is enough to use all your minerals income)
Considering the insane backlash, and out right mean comments the community made directly to Monk, because of the last patch, I would be very surprised if he ever wanted to talk to anyone on here again.
He knew he was pulling off the bandaid. That’s almost certainly why he threw the nerfs into the game and quickly slammed the door without talking to the community. Which, fair enough.
I mean, we don’t even know if he’s allowed to be very vocal on here. Words can be taken out of context, and innocent comments can set expectations higher than intended. With a volatile community, especially one that currently treats you like sh!t, why would you want to?
Yeah 4 years ago. That’s why I’m wondering why people are expecting anything different today, than like a year ago. Plus I’m pretty sure every company gets really quiet around this time of year because things slow down due to holidays/vacation.
