anyone else? WOL feels consistent and you can react/know what's going on. Hots feels like a game of blind counters and unpredictable builds, and with the fast pace of sc2 its so far to fall behind or just be BO gg'd. Anyone else feel like this?

Hots is superior to WoL, it may seem blind, but you need to understand how the roles of every unit has currently changed in many ways.

the problem iis that you have no clue what's good vs what - just like every other player


things will take some time but eventually it will stabilize

This, HOTS is not figured out. WOL is pretty much figured out.

WoL was the exact same thing for the beta and the first year it was out

except now all the zergs know how to get 10,000 drones by the 9min mark.

and also how to lose them to various new timings.

protoss can 1g expand super easily now

terran has free siege mode and widow mines in hots

so each race can be greedy as shit

It's just how far ahead you are in the learning curve, I was playing with a lot of GM's and "pros" the first few months it was out. I even beat catz recently. Personally I think the game is really unpredictable but I believe it's better than just memorizing a build order and executing it over and over again.

I think adam is just too cute for hots, get uglier.
