Best, Gift, Ever Blizz.

The patch notes were lulz, and I know what date it is. Honestly, I'm so glad it was that day, because SC/2 is a PC game, I don't think consoles were made to handle it.

Consoles weren't made to handle anything that requires skill.

But I play protoss, so I don't even require skill on the pc.

>>Implying Starcraft II requires powerful machines to run.
>>Implying consoles aren't released more powerful than the PCs of that year.

SCII would have been interesting on consoles though. It wouldn't be the same game, honestly, but there are functional RTS' on consoles (Halo Wars is the most mainstream one, but Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II was very functional and fun, and had as much strategy as it did on PC). I'm just saying, it wouldn't have been a disaster unless Blizzard made some key mistakes, which they aren't known for.

But Terran is imba. It'd work on a console if you play terran!

Against Zerg: You'll be in plat in a month if you just 2rax, and stay focused on your base until you push out, at which point you'll have enough marines to take the game.
Against Toss: You'll be in plat in a month if you just turtle, staying focused on your base, and throw up a bunker if they do a really aggressive 4gate. When you stop their 4gate it's an auto loss beings their tech and economy won't be able to touch yours.
Against Terran: You never attack your enemy. Both of you turtle and build infinity tanks/vikings and mine out the entire map.

Well of course Terran is imba, the game was made by Terrans.

That's what they want you to think.

umad?

That dude rage quit. I had already played him that night and destroyed him when he tried to 4gate me on Tal'Darim Altar (lolwut?), so he gave up the second time around beings he was zerg this time.
