Protoss Smotoss

[Bodzilla]

Theres been an old saying since the start of SC2 that Zerg players are playing twice as hard as their opponents in the lower leagues.
i'm hear to tell you it's true, and it's hilarious.

Today for some lulz i told a protoss player that his race was OP and that i hate protoss and that i was gunna 6 pool the cunt into the stoneage.

Protoss and terran players have a nasty habit of just doing build orders in the lower leagues, they just do a 4 warp gate, or a 3 rax or blah blah blah blah, because it's so easy for them to dictate play, seeing as the Zerg has to choose when to drone and make units.
Protoss and T's just build so many buildings per base and make sure thy're all producing.

But this means they're TERRIBLE at reading play.
like i mean BAD.

If you tell a Protoss player in plat (or lower) that you hate protoss and they're OP and that your going to 6 pool him, then throw down an 11 pool, pop 4 lings kill his drone and then expand at 18.
He will think your actually 6 pooling.

the funniest thing i saw was a gateway into forge into cannons into gateway before cyber.






Have you got any idea how late that makes warp gate,
lmfao.

and they tend to respond in 2 different ways,
they try to go for the latest 4 gate in the world, which is so unbelievably easy to hold off, or they go for pheonix/voidray.
scout which one it is, build some roaches, queens and spines and you will kill them outright.


but the best part is it's Funny as FUCK. because if they try to expand, hey they've got no units, guess i'll just kill it with some roaches xD

This is the stupidist strat in the world, but so far i've go the last 5 ou of 6 protoss players to believe it.
so what does that say about the average protoss.

lmao,
try it it's lulzy

IM BODZILLA AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HASNT REALIZED THAT TOSS IS THE MOST UP RACE IN THE WHOLE GAME

[n00b1n8R]

4 lings pop and the pool is only half done when the probe gets there and they think it's 6pool?

ruh roh

[Bodzilla]

i know. It's hilarious.

[sevlag]

i know. It's hilarious.
this made my day

ruh roh4 lings pop and the pool is only half done, you're hackin' bro.

[n00b1n8R]

4 lings pop and the pool is only half done, you're hackin' bro.
You know what I mean. :p

[NullZero]

This thread needs moar gameplays!

But on a serious note, I don't understand the strat because I don't know the terminology here, but a vid of this would be interesting to watch.

[n00b1n8R]

Zilla tells his opponent he's going for a cheesy-ass ling rush. He makes it sort of look like it to somebody who doesn't have a clue so the opponent assumes its real. He then transitions into basically standard zerg play while the protoss puts himself way behind by going ultra defensive to hold the ling rush that isn't coming.

He then does something else dumb and looses.

Winning and losing matters? I thought games were supposed to be fun? What are these build orders you guys are talking about? WTF is this shit.

Only play with friends in customs~

I hope you don't waste people's time on ladder, this game clearly isn't for you.

[Cortexian]

I lose every game I play in matchmaking. No lie.

[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: daym son
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: if only there was some kind of way
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: to see if a building was building units
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: but alas it's impossible
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: many people have tried
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: but no one has an answer
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: drones look like lings in coccoons

[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: bad playuer
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS MOVING
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: LIKE EVERY BUILDING IN THE GAME EVER.
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: EVER.
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: BAD n00b Bad Toss
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: the hatch moves for all sorts of shit

-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: vOv
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: oh come on.
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: it's cause you guys dont have to have HALF the game sense that zergs do
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: and just do cool little build orders.
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: all day erry day
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: so Bad
[Muppets] Commodore: Bodzilla: :gregfeilds:
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: i can only think of an early pool being a situation where anybody would need to be able to tell a queen is building
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: out of ZvZ
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: sooo
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: what actually moves btw?
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R: does it just giggle or?
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R is now Away.
-=AWOL=- n00b1n8R is now Online.


This is the reason why every zerg crys.

[n00b1n8R]

Because we don't have to recognize building animations?
talk about bitch race :lol:

[Bodzilla]

because you literally half the game understanding then we do.
yet with some cool builds your able to breeze through ladder.

[Dwood]

When I had the game I was happier with playing zerg knowing I was putting full effort into it, than T or P where they don't put half so much effort into the game...

After getting pro with Toss I tried playing as a Zerg player and loved it, even though my W/L suffered.

being 52/48 w/l %s is more satisfying, as opposed to 60/40% without effort

[Cortexian]

People who use build orders must only play competitively, I've tried it before and it was boring. That's the opposite of what games are supposed to be by the way!

[Phopojijo]

@Dwood - Part of that though is because Heart of the Swarm is coming. It should be a very different game then. Actually all the races have very few options for how they wish to play the game... so we need quite a few more units. (I didn't say not how effective each way is... I just said there's not many options).

[n00b1n8R]

I had literally half the game understanding you do right? Because I didn't know the queen has a building animation? Ok, sure.

Also Z have BO's too bro, hth.

(gold as fuck)

Every RTS has build orders. If you're not building things in a certain order, then you're just being random which is the opposite of strategy.

[Cortexian]

I wasn't talking about the build orders you have to do to tech tree, that's obvious. I'm talking about the people that build one thing, in the same grid pattern, over and over just because it works.

Where's the fun in that?

The best 'toss strat is to just build 3 layer deep cannons around your entire base and mass carriers.

Look out kids, this guy is Huk tier!

[Cortexian]

mass cannon ftw

[Phopojijo]

Helps for that survive-the-longest campaign mission. Cannons, void-rays, and colossus. IdrA would be proud.

See my previous post. IRL, would you expect any sane commander to just deploy troops and vehicles randomly, with whatever equipment he feels like, instead of going with tried and true strategy? There's creativity and then there's just stupidity.

[n00b1n8R]

Alternatively, who plays a racing game to drive slowly and look at the pretty cars?

[TeeKup]

lol Forza 3.

But no seriously Forza is good.

[n00b1n8R]

It wasn't a "good/bad" point I was making (I think all racing games are boring as fuck!), it was that you're playing the wrong genre if you don't want to use strategy in an RTS.

[Cortexian]

There's just as much strategy in games like DotA, HoN, and LoL imo. I'd rather play that kind of genre anyway because there's more action involved.

hahaha casualised RTS. There may be a lot of tactics (different to strategy!) in those games but you can't really compare the skill required to that of SC.

[Bodzilla]

yeah freelancer, a tactic is ya know things like lureing, pulling pushing trapping flanking ambushing ect.

a strategy is your entire goal, how your going to do everything and your reasonings behind it

[Cortexian]

Except you said yourselves, there's no strategy to SCII. It's just build-orders to counter build-orders in competitive play, no one actually improvises.

Anyhow, I've made my stance on the game pretty clear. I play it for fun with friends I know, and I literally lose 90% of the games I play in "Ladder" or whatever you want to call it. Those games are boring and unfun because they're over in like 5 minutes anyway.

[Bodzilla]

i said alot of baddies on the ladder use build orders.

i improvise every game i play.

[n00b1n8R]

Except that's wrong :S

Oh, you're one of those :allears:

[Dwood]

Oh, you're one of those :allears:

Blizz does need to learn how to have longer games.

[n00b1n8R]

Blizz does need to learn how to have longer games.
~ 1/8 games I play is <10 minutes. I'm pretty ok with that vOv

[Rainbow Dash]

Blizz does need to learn how to have longer games.

fast expand

[Bodzilla]

as a zerg 99% of my games are over 15, and about 50% are over 20minutes long.

[Phopojijo]

i said alot of baddies on the ladder use build orders.

i improvise every game i play.Same... but it seems like every game I win TvT (that I don't just steamroll the guy/girl with tier 1) I end up going Battlecruisers + Other Air or Battlecruisers + Bio. Not too good at mech play for some reason.

Btw -- it takes a surprisingly little amount of marines to protect your BCs from vikings... especially if you Yamato most of them.

[Rainbow Dash]

you're the only terran using bcs

lets 2v2 sometime lolll

[Bodzilla]

Bc's are good now, they're only SLIGHTLY slower then a viking.
it's the viking vs BC is like the ling vs drone chasing down

[malolo420]

I like SC but man I don't understand this nerd lingo.
Like what the fuck is a 6 pool.

[Phopojijo]

It means that you sent one of your starting 6 drones to make a spawning pool with which to make other units... rather than waiting until you have more drones for better economy.

AKA -- A spawning pool on 6 supply.

It's one of zerg's many build orders ;) <troll>

[Bodzilla]

woah.

nestea just BROKE zvp.

[Bodzilla]

the korean sample size is small, which is stated in his post AND Protoss has been using the same fucking builds for what... 2-3 seasons of GSL now?

how many times can you pull a rabbit out of a hat and still be impressive.

[Rainbow Dash]

HI IM BODZILLA I PLAY ZERG TOSS IS OP BECAUSE THEY HAVE ONE UNIT THAT ACTUALLY DOES DAMAGE TO MINE

force fields? what forcefields :downs:
