What's the rating number and where do I find it on my profile?

its your rating...so for example my rating in random 2v2's is around 1,000 (rank 7 diamond). The number is a better indication of how you're going rather than division/league. You might be in a really average diamond league, or a really strong platinum, and the skill level will be around the same in alot of games.

about 150 points ahead of the guy second now, about 760. i cant keep winning every game and not get into gold

patch 1.1 is live in NA and EU, tomorrow for SEA. Balance changes are same as the status update from a couple of weeks ago.

ultralisks are broken in the new patch

ultralisks are broken in the new patch

Never seen anyone use them to be honest


Not liking the new time for Zealots. w***er Zergs with their 6 pool will be harder to recover quickly.

 

[Schism]

How are ultralisks broken?They now do splash dmg to units/buildings close to the building they are attacking. Which is good if you're a zerg trying to kill a PF being repaired by 20 scv's

 

[omit]

yeah but you can splash damage scv's on the other side of an orbital command. it's ridiculous

You can deal with Ling rushes if you go 10 gate, chrono boost, using gate and pylon to wall with the zealot in the gap of the wall.

I think PvZ's are going the way of SC. Forge expand etc.

So... how many people here are making the switch to NA? It's a pretty big decision seeing as though your achievements won't be carried over.

I recently ran a tracert to us.blizzard.com and one to sea.blizzard.com and ended up with a ping of 165 to sea, and 220 to NA. I want to be apart of that massive NA community, but I'm not sure if I want to increase my ping and lose my achievements...

decisions, decisions

I'm getting around 200 to NA and 140 to SEA. I made an NA char, i think i will 1v1 on NA and continue to team on SEA.

MeLo / #699 for those that now play in the NA server.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

And yes it does lag.

 

[Schism]

Lag is ok for me, just did my placement matches for 1v1 on NA, i tried my hardest to lose all 5, but somehow won 3.

Heres 2 of them, absolute classics. I'm talking lift off at start and everything.

I would just like to say a big **** you to Blizzard for basically making Protoss useless now.

I will not be building a zealot again... there is just no point.

is it really that bad? surely it only affects early game

the reaper has had a similar increase in build time but it seems to make no difference to early reaper build in terms of numbers after the initial 1-2 reaper rush/scout. I mean you have 1-2 less reapers after a few minutes, but can always build an extra rax to compensate.

I think the guy up there was right ^^ it will be a case of 1 gate forge fast expand into mass cols/goons i guess

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

The 2 gate opening is done.

The 5 second gap is the difference between a spine crawler finishing, a few stalkers finishing or a few workers being saved.

I don't see the point tbh of using a 2 gate build unless you're going all out.

 

[Schism]

Entropy 228 on NA

 

[Schism]

anyone know of any good sites with 1v1 builds? im stuck doing 2v2/3v3 builds, which is to say i make it up as i go along.

The "all-in" 2 gate might be dead but the less extreme variants should be ok such as the one Mantra did.

Day9 has just changed the TvP matchup

Forget your robotics and Collosus builds. Carrier rushes are what it's all about.

Since the Patch ive only lost 1 1v1 (very close match which dragged on for 30+ minutes), the zealot rush is however dead.

You would be a fool to try to wall off as a protoss, I spend the first few minerals now putting up 2/3 cannons up close to my nexus to fend off early zerg/reaper rushes

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

SEA players are so much better than NA.

 

[Arecsa]

I love the NA server. SEA is very laggy for me, none on the US one though.
