Minor update. It appears I have to win 10 games in unranked, basically, and one EACH DAY (can’t be done in a day, etc) to be allowed to play ranked on a new account. I can’t believe I haven’t heard this before. I can’t believe there’s weirdo geeks with a million accounts given this.
The alternative is… give Blizzard money. Can’t do that out of principle, even if it just required a penny. That would be a nah son. So, guess I won’t be playing ranked Terran for a week’ish…
So, in playing news, I have yet to lose a game vs Zerg since I’ve started going mine, viking (add in tanks eventually). I’ve beaten higher ranked players since the first rep. I dunno. Seems like the free win strats have been established vs casually skilled opponents. Cyclones vs Toss. Mines vs Zerg. Now, only to keep you posted on the free win strat, to be determined, vs Terran.
In all honesty, Terran seems a lot easier than Toss starting out. The race macros by itself. The only thing to learn is the add on part. The biggest reason it seems easier, besides never being supply blocked… is you can do builds that involve a fast third CC that you know none of your opponents can punish. You just start every game ahead and your units are also better than your opponents.
It’s not like you’re going to be facing vipers or well used ones… If you can avoid playing in a way that loses to banelings, then I guess Terran life should be pretty easy. We’ll see how much I eat those words or not, though.
I’m not a fan of infinite unit selection with Terran. Seems unnecessary and just promotes all things bad. Not properly using hotkeys. An inability to do multi pronged stuff. I just don’t think it does anyone any favors, besides people who really don’t want to be competitive ever.
