Once upon a time, in a neighborhood filled with peaceful mornings and chirping birds, there lived a peculiar character named Mr. Higgins. Now, Mr. Higgins was a jolly and good-hearted fellow, but he had a rather unusual hobby that often caused quite a commotion. You see, every morning at precisely 7:30 a.m., Mr. Higgins would unleash his mighty stonecutter upon unsuspecting ears. It was as if he had a personal mission to wake up the entire neighborhood with the resounding symphony of clattering stones and grinding gears. The sound was so loud that even the local construction crew marveled at his early morning enthusiasm. As the rest of the neighborhood groaned and grumbled, trying to cling to the last remnants of sleep, Mr. Higgins would be wide awake and full of energy. He genuinely believed that starting the day with such a thunderous noise was the secret to success and happiness. After all, who needs alarm clocks when you have a stonecutter? Now, Mr. Higgins wasn't completely oblivious to the mayhem he caused. In fact, he rather enjoyed the attention it brought him. He loved watching his neighbors stumble out of bed, their hair disheveled, and their eyes half-closed, as they stumbled toward his house with a mix of frustration and curiosity. One fine morning, the neighbors had finally had enough. They gathered at Mr. Higgins' doorstep, their pajamas still on and hair looking more like bird nests than actual hairdos. Mrs. Jenkins, a feisty lady with a loud voice, rang the doorbell with great determination. Ding-dong! The sound echoed through the house, and soon enough, Mr. Higgins opened the door, a wide grin on his face. "Good morning, everyone! I see you've come to admire the beauty of my symphony," he exclaimed, pointing to the stonecutter in the corner. Mrs. Jenkins crossed her arms, her voice tinged with annoyance. "Mr. Higgins, we need to talk about your stonecutter. It's making our mornings anything but peaceful!" Mr. Higgins scratched his head, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "Ah, my dear neighbors, but you haven't realized the true magic of the stonecutter! It has the power to turn any grumpy soul into a morning person. Just give it a try!" The neighbors exchanged skeptical glances but decided to humor Mr. Higgins. One by one, they took turns operating the stonecutter, giggling like mischievous children as sparks flew and stone fragments scattered. To their surprise, the absurdity of the situation had them laughing out loud. From that day forward, the neighborhood had a new morning ritual. Every morning at 7:30 a.m., the neighbors would gather at Mr. Higgins' house, each taking a turn with the stonecutter. The noise was still there, but it was accompanied by laughter and camaraderie. As time went by, the neighbors found themselves looking forward to those early morning shenanigans. They discovered that embracing the unexpected noise and finding joy in the absurdities of life was a far better way to start the day than grumbling in annoyance. And so, dear friends, the tale of Mr. Higgins and his noisy stonecutter ends here. Sometimes, the things that disrupt our routines and annoy us the most can become sources of laughter and unexpected connections. So, the next time Harstem's neighbor revs up his stonecutter, perhaps it's worth joining in the fun and letting laughter drown out the noise.

@@viktordoe1636 WC 3 had a huge problem with Heroes. If you won a fight with your hero, your hero was overleveled compared to the opponent. And that snowballed. That is not really a good design for competetive gaming. Just imagine if in a TvP the Terran comes in with a reaper - and manages to kill 2 zergling and 2 drones. That itself is quite bad for the Zerg. But now give the Reaper two level up and he makes 30% more damage and has 30% more health. He can go in and get more kills. Not really fun, is it?

I actually experiment with something in the spirit of Protoss mech against terran atm on the ladder (d3 eu) . I used to play phoenix/chargelots phoenix/ collosus but at some point i started loosing continously, the early pushes would kill me with collosus, or later pushes if i went with zealots. Dont know if terran meta changed or something, but it just stopped working , at least at my level of execution, im sure better players can make it work. Anyway i started rethiinking stuff and im now starting with phoenixes (void rays if i suspect cheese which is often) and robo, but instead of going into gates explosion, i add early gases and more robos, up to three. So i have a lot of collosus and immortals very fast. It really seems to be working. I think at my level terrans relly a lot on marauders to blitz through protoss units and the immortals are a bad surpriise for them.
@Matt-ln7lb Жыл бұрын
Immortals + Colossus slaps Terran ground hard if they actually try to fight it, because Colossus shred the light units and the immortals tank with barrier and kill everything armored. It also requires basically no micro and isn't as vulnerable to EMP because of the immortals. They need libs or a lot of vikings (to kill the colossus before engaging with marines) to deal with it effectively in a direct fight. If the Terran recognizes what's going on and decides to do heavy drop/mobility play, it can easily run into trouble, because the robo units lack mobility and can't shoot up, but most players are probably just going for a timing push on ladder, and they don't see heavy robo play from protoss often enough to understand how bad it can be to attack into with a normal bio army compared to a more typical gateway army. Opening phoenixes discourages the drop play though, and phoenixes openers are usually somewhat weak to a timing push, so opening phoenixes pushes them to do exactly what they shouldn't against the robo army. There's might be a window before you get enough units out that they can push if they open 3 rax as well; if they can hit a pre-colossus timing with a sufficient marine/marauder count, that could very easily end the game. Kind of crazy that Harstem very likely could have won that first game vs Maxpax if he didn't step out to attack the rocks. The robo play does get punished hard if you make a mistake and move out without enough units, because normal armies can just run it down.

Actually i think its safer us early pushes then other builds, because i get 2-3 immortals very fast, instead of stalkers that just melt, i cant do the blink magic pros do.

Basically this build was my idea that I recently posted in his discord. I left shortly after due to excessive persistent low-IQ trolling, but that's just internet. Basically my plan was to not build stalkers because they suck. In my plan it did have more zealot warp ins in smallish numbers, mostly vs marauders. vs a lot of air like corruptors you have to add in storm, which works well because they kill phoenixes fairly slowly, and only trade evenly against them. So with storm it's a route. I'm not sure if I inspired this or if he's just doing it on his own. It almost worked against one of the very best on the first try. IT was mostly designed with terran in mind.
@AntiDoctor-cx2jd Жыл бұрын
seems like the biggest weakness is not keeping track of phoenixes and they lose a few while macroing. Overall it seems like it's working better but you have to play it a lot to get the nuances down, like robo timings and expansion timings and whatevs.
@AntiDoctor-cx2jd Жыл бұрын
the whole plan was using colossus as the core unit, because in high numbers they are even good vs armored units. swapping out high stalkers for a low number of immortals, and swapping out disruptors for more colossi because disruptors never hit shit and are easy to snipe with bio.

Use mines with army to zone out their army from getting at your single battlecruiser. Destroy their army first then destroy their supply. Expand and Macro.
