So we are just going to ignore the fact that widow mines are faster, cheaper, cloak, and have nearly un-dodge-able missiles? Look, obviously they aren’t the same unit, but please use your head. They are similar in some senses and share similar issues. Seriously please try using your head.
There is a very good chance that this is an insane suggestion. I’m not saying that the solution is difficult, but you have to be crazy to think this is it.
Can you at least put one second of effort in to see he is a 12 times master and Gm in team… Also, he’s right, you’re wrong. Begs the question… Are you gold or less ?
People starting from at the very least Platinum can dodge WM missle with either Blink or WP pick-up.
Also at about the same skill level people learn that they have a unit called “Observer” that they can move with their army and/or siege at key location. Even more, these same people know about Revelation skill of an Oracle.
Since you’ve shown that you don’t know about these units and these skills, and said that you can’t do some basic Protoss micro it is a logical conclusion that you are at Gold level of play.
I expected no less from the most loud and biased balance whiner on the forum
Not only are those numbers complete nonsense, they also don’t mean anything. When I say widow mines are nearly un-dodge-able, I mean it in the big picture sense where units like zerglings, zealots, adepts, can’t do anything about it. Also, when ranged units come into range of a widow mine, most of them can’t do anything about it (except kill the widow mine, but that’s beside the point). Example: if a hydra walks into widow mine range, it can’t blink once the widow mine fires. You can walk away before the widow mine fires, but I wouldn’t really count that as a legitimate dodge on the level of blink stalkers. Do you understand what I mean now or are you just trying to steer away from the point? Also being inherently out of range doesn’t count either (ex: colossus, siege tanks).
Have you also watched BeastyQT’s widow-mine related series by any chance? When he is in the process of climbing, platinum and diamond players regularly get blown apart by widow mines - that includes stalkers by the way. You give the lower ranks WAY too much credit. I don’t even think the pros dodge things 99 out of 100 times.
Its called split micro. People who can’t make it to level 20 of marine split should not be allowed to complain about banelings, WMs, Storm and Colossus.
Besides if we are talking about Zerglings and Zealots they usually charge into bio before WM fires, dealing more damage to bio ball than to opponent’s army - on ladder level, but rarely happens amongs the pros too.
I don’t whine about the FF damage because I understand that it was done to balance WMs.
Than WM dies.
Hydra have higher range.
If you walked your units onto the minefield like a moron you deserve to loose them.
Mommy Blizzard even made burrowed WMs visible by the naked eye so only really big moron would walk on them.
BeastyQT playes so much faster than low ranked player that they are just overwhelmed by what’s happening in the game and could not react to anything in time.
Actually, I’ve seen on stream of low GM player how he played against BeastyQT (not knowing that) who was making ONLY Phoenixes and Zealots. Not a single WM fired. BeastyQT lifted them all. As well as Cyclones. And somehow he managed to almost never loose Phoenixes.
Individual skill in this game matter more than anything.
I can’t remember seeing Parting or Zest loosing Stalker to WM when they were looking at them.
Like I said, I wouldn’t count this as dodging. It’s really sad that I’ve been giving you the patience to understand something so simple yet you lash out at me at every opportunity you get. Classic behavior of a T/Z whiner on the forums - you just can’t accept when you’re wrong. Always resort to crying when things don’t go your way. Because that’s all you’re good at right?
Read above ^^ the only thing that can remotely be considered whining here is me “whining” about the hypocrisy on the forums i.e. the people on your delusional side of the argument. It’s becoming very clear that you have the reading comprehension skills of an elementary schooler…
This is completely beside the point of what I am talking about and you know it. Of course you resort to insults once again because you know you can’t refute any of the points I am saying.
Of course another random jab that is completely aside the point I’ve tried to make. Have you run out of things to say now? Perhaps you can accept the initial points I’ve tried to make. I’m not about to summarize them to you though, you can just read it over and over again until you understand.
