Switching to the reported hard race?!

I don’t use your lame site. Every time I go on there it’s broken, no data to show. Haven’t used it in years because it’s been pointless for that long. Hence why it’s the only thing that matters to you. They even removed/lost their old data (HotS). I used to use the site to look at population numbers for races in GM, but with the API being broken on most sites now… all those sites are pretty pointless now.

A site with more accurate peaks would be h ttp://sc2revealed.com/, but… you can only look up people who are in GM atm, basically.

Don’t fret, though… Like I’ve said… I’ve used the site before. Sorry that a better site exists that updates more regularly: h ttps://ibb.co/CmMrzks

sc2revealed is why I created custom software to change my hotkey profiles to match my opponents. It reads replays and sees how they map their hotkeys, then automatically maps my hotkeys to theirs (selected at random) each time I play. It’s a brilliant way to enjoy privacy while playing SC2.

The surveillance state is so severe it’s even invading the video game realm.

524

Who would ever be that paranoid to think anyone cares? You’re not a pro gamer. No one cares. Not even I have looked at your hotkeys before, despite you giving me every reason in the world to “expose you.” It still has never been needed. And even if I played a random barcode and wondered… I still wouldn’t care. It would be a waste of time.

For someone who wants to brag… isn’t it kinda self evident why you care about privacy so much? The more you try to hide… the more you get to lie, right? The more you get to pretend that no one else is smart enough to figure it out. At some point, the old saying of “get good” becomes pretty sage.

You are the kid too paranoid to show anyone his account’s rank history which is normally public information. But for some reason your accounts aren’t listed and you refuse to share that info all while making outlandish claims. So if anyone here is paranoid it’s you.

526

Again. Is this supposed to be funny? Look how much stupid s I can say to Playa in a day, every day. What am I supposed to say besides shut up? I don’t get it. It’s not funny. It’s not informative. It’s stupid. It’s lame. There’s nothing positive to say. Just stop. Not hard to understand or why.

My profile isn’t hidden. Anyone with any intelligence to their name can figure out w/e my history is. You? Oh yeah… I gotta hide my profile and mask my hotkeys cause… “I’m a pathological liar who needs to increase my ability to sell my lies.” I understand it and you. And I’m telling you to shut up. Period. There’s nothing to say but not to speak.

This is what sc2revealed shows me. Did you photoshop that?

It’s a screenshot of mine. As I told you, it only shows players who are actively in GM; as I told you, I haven’t played Toss this season, thus… you do the math. If you care so much, again… the youtube channel that you know of and talk of… shows me above that MMR on EU. So again, please shut up. Everyone would like you to shut up.

As I suspected it’s an old screenshot you saved of your peak mmr. Why are you hiding your current mmr? Whatever kid. You’re obviously far too sensitive on the subject to have any rational conversation. I wish you luck on the ladder and I hope you can get your rank back up to where it was.

530

I’m done talking to you for good. I hope you seek real help.

531

OK I will do that. You focus on getting your rank back up. Good luck! :muscle:

Is there any chance we get to see the two of you go at it in a BO3 or BO5?

At this point probably none of you wants to. But I would love to see that…

Imagine the Headline! :grinning:

Batz vs Playa, the two, most notorious posters on the legendary SC2 forum. I think many in the community would get hyped to see this.

Can’t. I have a broken finger and haven’t played a single game in 4 months. I probably never will come back. Apetoss is almost at 50% in GM league. You’d have to be a masochist to play such a poorly designed game. If a balance patch happens, then maybe, but it depends on how good the balance patch is. Nothing short of bringing back the infested terran and instant fungals will do it for me.

534

I appreciate you taking an interest and being a respectable gent. I’m focused on Terran now and just chilling. At the end of last season, I was only losing to Terran. I’m pretty bored with Toss, in general. I think I figured out how to best play P vs T, though, so nothing of interest to do.

That said, I first started posting on this forum due to a tournament that was hosted on here (you needed 15 posts or something to play in it). If the community were to sponsor tournaments, that could be a cool/good thing, that I would play in. Unless Snake played in it, I might even play as Terran. Btw, I played Snake today in T vs Z.

I got far ahead, in my estimation, but a turret didn’t make at my natural (I didn’t realize it didn’t start until too late), which allowed his mutas to do damage and contain me. It really irked me, because I scanned the very second he started the freaking spire. He was stuck on 2 bases… Ugh…

I’ve been really surprised just how close my games have been, already, vs GMs… It’s kinda sad, honestly. No disrespect to snake, though. I like the fellow and he thoroughly abused me with the mutas. Btw, with his style, he poses me the most trouble of non pros in P vs Z. It’s just I expected to not even play vs GMs let alone have respectable games that I should have won.

Proof:

The whole hand was injured, really, but this finger had it the worst. Kids in their basement playing SC2 in their 40’s can’t imagine people out there have adventurous lives. By the way, this was nowhere near the worst injury I’ve received. I have had many far worse than this. The day after this happened I was climbing a 60’ tree to cut it down. That is not a hyperbole in the slightest. My “Little Giant” ladder couldn’t reach far enough to get to the limb that needed to be cut. So I scaled up the tree one-handed while carrying a chainsaw. Obviously, don’t try this at home, kids. Have you ever been at the top of a tree, leaning against the trunk and reaching with one arm to hold out a chainsaw; waiting for the limb to break and the tree to shake so you can quickly set the saw down and grab the tree with your singular hand and cling on for dear life? Now that’s an adrenaline rush. Chainsaw + 60ft in the air + one hand tied behind your back + a shaking tree. YOLO!

One day I will write a book about my adventures and all the betas raised on a diet of soy and video games can read the books in amazement like we read the story of Hercules.

Goba after finding out Batz is once again telling the truth:

I’ve made my new home around 4600 MMR.

The more I play T vs P, the more it feels like Toss should just be removed from the game. Playing against Toss feels like cheating/wrong. Their units, sans the disruptor, just don’t feel remotely viable. Kinda how I feel when I play as Toss… The tempest, especially, is a flat out embarrassment. It’s not even fun to play against units that worthless.

The more I play T vs Z, the more confused I get. It’s by far my worst matchup. I’m trying to go mines into cyclones now.

A sad admission: Yesterday, I realized that I had never researched lib range; I was researching the medivac ability, thinking it was lib range. And, yes… every time… I was wondering what kinda placebo upgrade is this… it’s the same range man!! I feel like the most irrelevant upgrade should probably be listed last or in the medivac’s case, just removed. Who actually gets that, whether they should or not?

Zerg feels too mobile for mech is my impression atm. Roach, ravager feels too good at exploiting mech. I’d like to try ranged libs, though. Thors seem like they just enable you to get contained vs mutas. It’s like having a slower version of the archon. Like trying to chase mutas with HT. Again, libs would seem better.

So, I still have to learn T vs Z. T vs T, my main problem, if not only one, is simply I don’t know how to respond vs proxy 2 rax or proxy any rax, really. I’m not sure if I should scout for the proxy, despite proxying myself, as I do believe 2 rax proxy should beat proxy 1 rax in theory. Regardless, when I scout what is happening, directly or indirectly… not sure what my follow up should be. Hellions seem so bad, that it seems like you’d need to make a rax at home. It all seems less than desirable.

My last game was a T vs P vs 4600+ player who was regularly GM in LotV: h ttps://drop.sc/replay/19739503

I get confused vs double gas before expansion. I went ahead and ended up completing my eng bay, at home, before expanding. Yet, it still doesn’t seem to matter, because Toss has to play so scared that they always kill themselves by making shield batteries.

I feel like this is all one has to do to win nearly every game vs Toss. You feel bad for the other side, honestly. Your army is better. Your army is more mobile. You get to take the entire map… and your bases defend themselves. Toss is truly just a punching bag.

Once you make a BC, the game seems over. They have to make their army even more stalker heavy. They don’t have the gas to afford to amass a scary army (w/e that would be). Pretty pigeon holed into a lack luster comp, vs… a really good one.

Correction, once you can make 16+ BC they can beat skytoss as well. I did not deny that even years ago. Such long games do not go often.

They are if terran tries to mech.

Your experience is just biased and wants to make it so Protoss is struggling… which proves one can make up anything to look like a fact no matter how inaccurate it is.

539

My experience is what it is. P vs T is BY FAR my worst matchup. Like it’s insane how much worse it is than the other ones. In contrast, my T vs P is by far my best matchup. I’m winning all my games fairly easily these days. I’m just using what I know is too good.
