Bad troll is bad.

Is Zerg fixed yet?

Don't know anymore. People still say marines are OP. Zerg are doing a lot better on the ladder though these days.

I guess they finally just L2P. 131

I assume something was changed then, I'll look into it.

If marines aren't changed they still are OP, stutter stepping marines are stupid. The only counter to that shit is banelings with armour and speed upgrade. Burrowing kind of works but a Terran player only falls for that once unless they're mentally deficient.

Given the cost of banelings (50/25 each IIRC) it isn't the most cost effective method, either.

The common consensus from what I can see is that Terran still has a great early game but they scale the worst over time while Zerg are unkillable if they can last to late game and Protoss are neutral.

Protoss has always been like, the middle brother, in SC2, as far as balance. It just sits there and stares back and fourth as Terran and Zerg bicker.

edit Oh and btw Infestors might get nerfed soon 'cause a ****ton of people say they're OP. Might wanna go play with em a bit before then.

Eh, actually, in the first patch or so, I found Protoss to be the most annoying race to fight. 4gate,4gate,4gate,4gate. They outswarmed the Zerg, man. ๐Ÿ˜ It was hurtful, and their units are so much better.

Granted, Terran papered their scissors early game, but Protoss used to make me rage so hard.

Zerg being unkillable in the late game is an interesting notion, I haven't played much so I'll need to look into it, but unless something significant has changed, Terran mech pushes and Protoss stalkerlossi balls should still be incredibly annoying for Zerg to try and stop.

*looks for patch notes for the last year or so.*

Oh, funny story. My MMR was Diamond level when I stopped playing last year, I came back to a new season, and it asks me to play one placement match, which I promptly lose to a diamond Zerg because I'm like a silver level now. It puts me back in plat. FFFFFF-, I had hoped for lower given my long absence, I don't want to start out where I was when I was at my best. ๐Ÿ™

Then my 2v2 team places in plat after losing it's placement match, too. haermm

Well I was silver in the first season, and I played my placement match and lost trying to build planetary fortresses around his base, so they put me in bronze.

This reminds me of something.

I can prove that a Space Marine Librarian can kill Kerrigan psychically, hyuckhyuck.

You probably can't, but, I'm a little interested.

In the Dark Eldar codex, a Librarian creates a storm above Commorragh that tears through the Dark Eldar ravagers and other air-craft above the city, destroying them to allow the Forgehammer, a ship, freedom.

I also have seen other psyker feats. mmm

For instance, a Thousand Sons psyker forcing two Dreadnoughts to fight eachother, and dissassembling another down to its base parts, as well as incinerating Space Wolf Terminators and tossing around their tanks, throwing them into the ocean. Just generally cool stuff.

That's all pretty cool. I don't know how that supersedes what Kerrigan has done, though. That said, there are of course some psyckers who could defeat Kerrigan. Not all psychic beings in WH40K have the same power levels, though.

I pretty much ignore codex's now though. I only care about their gameplay stats, otherwise for feats and shiz I just read novels. They're more consistent. You need a new sig.

Because Kerrigan's best alleged feat is taking down a single ship, right? Admittedly I forget the size of the ship, but yeah.

Draigo would make Kerrigan cry like leetle girl. estahuh

Dude is legit like, the most powerful psyker short of the Emperor, no, the most powerful character short of the gods in 40k. ๐Ÿ˜

Burning down the Garden of Nurgle indeed.

Or you could read the codices instead of being a little girl.

It is thanks to codices I know that a bolter round to the head of a space marines does... Basically nothing. Bounces off. Not really sure why they use them.

Ultramarines Omnibus has some feats for Space Marines, fun fact. Like lifting the side of a Rhino or something, or tearing the hatch off of a Leman Russ. Stuff.

Oh, and Kharn can be affected by psychic powers, Blessing of the Blood God is not infallible. estahuh

I am not sure why I am telling you this.

And yeah, am thinking about a Friendship is Magic sig. ๐Ÿ˜„

I swear to God I will go to Florida and rip your ****ing head off if you take such a signature. Also **** the rest of your post its dumb. uhuh

****ING PHOTOBUCKET IS BEING STUPID

In the Grey Knights omnibus, a Grey Knight is killed when he is swarmed by thousands of humans armed with steel swords.

๐Ÿ˜

Sounds about right.

Oh and forgot to mention he was backed up by several squads of Grey Knights, including Terminators.

And they only lost one guy?

It was the black one.

That is a really low feat.

Normal Grey Knights have crossed blades with Bloodthirsters. ๐Ÿ˜

Some of them do.

I don't understand what's with people and thinking that everyone is the same in WH40K.
