Terran should NOT be played like this?! (StarCraft 2) 

Same, except i never managed to learn to play, i just rly enjoy Lowko’s videos/ company

Personally I do think its cringe but I still love it :]

Yeah ngl i got a wave of nostalgia run through me and smiled like a dumbass after that intro lol i always love it

I really got a happiness boost as soon as he started the intro.

This intro makes me so happy. I need a version for my wake up alarm. "Hello everyone, my name is Lowkooo and it is time to start a beautiful new day".

HerO played the japanese bee strat of hugging the Buyn wasp to death.

It's cringe when a man his age does it.

Totally caught Buyn off guard there. He was spamming Marauders lol. Had those been ghost + viking, then... Also the bad macro sequence at 36:26 didn't help at all.

I agree! He even managed to land in the tall grass.

EMP is also instant - you can realistically walk out of Storm to take significantly less damage.

Oh right and as a side-effect of being instant, EMP stacks: you can hit the same units with multiple EMPs at basically the same moment and get that many times more damage - meanwhile, Storm is coded so that two Storms overlapping does one Storm of damage.

Anyway as I keep saying: we should add an ability on the Sentry which splashes a small area and every unit in that area has their shields (not energy) become very briefly immune to EMP damage. Call it "Shield Stabilizer". It would add counterplay to EMP with high skill ceiling on both sides (P must predict or spot incoming EMP grenades, T must predict or bait Shield Stabilizers), tactical and strategic tradeoffs (P: how many Sentries do you add to have more shield stabilizer casts? T: prioritize Sentries as EMP targets to strip energy?), and several new balance options (tweak shield stabilizer cooldown, energy cost, area, etc).

Good idea, and you know what? Guardian shield could have had this feature. Since it reduces incoming damage, so it could prevent the units from being hit by EMP. Even just for one time per Guardian shield. That would still be enough.

Hahaha thank you!

@@LowkoTV thank you for the channel and the work you do.

I don't mind Marine stutter, but I consider it unacceptable that Protoss doesn't have something comparable (Oracle attack comes closest). Zerg finally got a Hydra buff that does this a couple patches back (when they lowered how soon during the attack animation the attack actually happens). I think a mid-game or late-game upgrade which either does the same for Stalkers (and gives them a hitscan beam instead of a projectile) or which lets Oracles also attack air would be a good equivalent with comparable micro potential and skill ceiling.

Alternative: we should add an ability on the Sentry which splashes a small area and every unit in that area has their shields (not energy) become very briefly immune to EMP damage. Call it "Shield Stabilizer". Benefits: 1. micro counterplay to EMP which rewards both APM and decision-making on both sides (P must predict or spot incoming EMP grenades, T must predict or bait Shield Stabilizers), 2. tactical and strategic tradeoffs (P: how many Sentries do you add to have more shield stabilizer casts? T: prioritize Sentries as EMP targets to strip energy?), and 3. several new balance options (tweak Shield Stabilizer cooldown, energy cost, area, etc).

I think the first one would be pretty interesting. Terran would need to make sure they'll have enough EMP power to disable protoss spellcasters. As it stands currently EMP kinda looks like this decision which very rarely is not worth doing against protoss, so I think that could make the game more fun!

Not to sound negative but your first idea would pretty much break the game. When they nerfed Feedback ages ago it was not nearly as bad because HT could still do the role they were designed for (drain energy & deal damage) with one cast. It takes a while to build up 150 energy for two EMPs, so Terran would need more cost, supply and production time (meaning less Marauders) put into Ghosts to do the same anti-caster role they're designed for. Terran would also have little defense against Prism Storms from the Protoss army. They can't just make more Vikings without making Bio even weaker with less Medivacs. Terran Bio production has a synergy where changes have big implications. So its likely the colossal nerf, probably not necessary considering PvT balance at pro level over the past 3 months is averaging a perfect 50%. The second (Guardian Shield) is quite cool & would allow for a more interesting interaction, providing it collapsed any over-lapping Guardian Shields & not just one. Design of SC2 officially ended a while back - we're not going to see new units but they could fix the clunkiness of the Disruptor for example.

Counter-offer: We should add an ability on the Sentry which splashes a small area and every unit in that area has their shields (not energy) become very briefly immune to EMP damage. Call it "Shield Stabilizer". Benefits: 1. counterplay to EMP with high skill ceiling on both sides (P must predict or spot incoming EMP grenades, T must predict or bait Shield Stabilizers), 2. tactical and strategic tradeoffs (P: how many Sentries do you add to have more shield stabilizer casts? T: prioritize Sentries as EMP targets to strip energy?), and 3. several new balance options (tweak shield stabilizer cooldown, energy cost, area, etc). All while not messing with the Ghost-vs-Templar interaction and Guardian Shield, which I'd say are mostly well-balanced at this point. (I particularly suspect that EMP collapsing Guardian Shield would actually end up being a nerf to Protoss, because that -2 damage on every attack is *huge* against Terran bio balls, so an EMP that cancels Guardian Shield as soon as its cast can easily do more damage to a Protoss army than the EMP shield damage).

Thank you!

@@LowkoTV I thought I finished, but I checked by "Liked Vides" page and found out that I just liked 3628 videos today, no idea where the other videos went. I'm gonna continue this someday :D

done, 4274 videos liked.
