Is Starcraft II the currently most popular/played RTS?

why. I prefer aoe2 tbqh

>Glorifying being a wanton asshole without social skills
Yeah great choice there. Enjoy your life.

Are you serious? You've literally been here a week, haven't you?

i was super into starcraft from wol to hearth of the swarm

then i realized i didn't really liked the new units in hots and the problems that existed since wol were starting to bother more and more.

like deathballs and how every fight was lasting 2 second lategame and how ugly the fights were. (i didn't even play bw)

i bought lotv later to check it out and the game is in an even worse state.
completely retarded units that make the games even more retarded.
i heard that now deathball is less of a problem but if this is the fucking solution then it's better to have deathballs.

also good fucking job blizzard to release a fucking competitive rts (not a very good genre at player retention) and force the playerbase to keep buying expansion to play ladder.

He's obviously from reddit, that's the only place where they still like SC2 that much. Even TL forums is tired of it.

its probably more popular but brood war will always be better

also this except only WoL was ever good in 2010-2011. jesus fuck that was almost 9 years ago

Yeah, they really kept dropping the ball with unit design

>hate WMs? yeah yeah you've been pestering us with this for the last 2 years, even terrans think this is shit design, we know we know

>multitasking-focused game that punishes you for multitasking, we so smart!
>reddit loves it to death because of le ebin disruptor hit gifs
The worst part about it is that widow mines and disruptors are actually good units when they're actively used in an ongoing fight, it's using them as traps and gotchas that's bullshit. If only Blizz had someone who's good at unit design.

why the fuck blizzard is so clueless about basic shit in game design?

mines for example.

mines in sc2 are 10 times more retarded than mines is bw.

also isn't fucking obvious that you can't keep adding new fucking units in an army?
it's not a moba every unit is designed with a specific role in mind (or at least should).
so every role should be covered
if you kepp adding units just because "oh it's a new expansion" you completely break the balance. now you have roles covered by multiple units.

at this point just release new fucking armies blizzard.

A bit of advice. People are being assholes at all times on here. It isn't worth it to get common decency out of people.

SC2 went to shit for a while but it's gotten vastly better now that David Kim is gone. Who thought it was a good idea to leave the idiot who fucked up Red Alert in charge I don't know, but whoever replaced him is doing much better.

Disruptors are literally just worse Reavers, Widow Mines are literally just worse Spider Mines. The only way a 4 widow Mine trap can kill a clump of mutas is if 1, you aren't babysitting them like you should, and 2, you have no Overseer with your mutas, like you should. If you have an Overseer you will kill at least one mine before it goes off which means you only lose 3 mutas total even if you only a-move them.

This is the year. Age of Empires is coming back.

I`d say its "They are Billions"

It singlehandedly helped revive RTS hype, while during SC2 rts faded into obscurity

It's probably cancelled. Must have been 2-3 years since it was mentioned last time.

"Much better than utter shit" does not equal "good". Honestly, in order to make the game good, they should axe 1/3rd of all units and revamp the rest, then majorly change how economy works in this game, and that's way too much effort to expect from them now. SC3 will never happen either, for obvious reasons. It's all so tiresome.
>The only way a 4 widow Mine trap can kill a clump of mutas
2 wms is enough, after that mutas are too damaged and can be quickly popped with turrets and marines so you're forced to retreat. Also, 3 wms kill the entire clump, where the fuck did you took that about 4 mines?
>if 1, you aren't babysitting them like you should
Ever heard of queen injecting? You know, the vital mechanic that forces you to look away from the army every now and then?
>and 2, you have no Overseer with your mutas
mines are visible without the seer you utter retard. You don't even know the base mechanics of the game you're so desperately defending. Are you terran, by any chance? I think I'm done talking to you, l2p

>2 wms is enough, after that mutas are too damaged and can be quickly popped with turrets and marines so you're forced to retreat
Good thing Mutas regenerate 1.4hp per second, so the damage from 2 mines will regenerate in about 60 seconds.

>Also, 3 wms kill the entire clump
No it doesn't, it hasn't been enough since like 2014 when Blizzard changed the splash radius.

>mines are visible without the seer you utter retard
No they aren't. If they were, they'd be useless. Mines are only visible while unburrowed or reloading, and they're invisible while reloading after you research Drilling Claws.
