your contribution can be summed up as follows:

"well what if they kill my observer?"


You're right, I'm retarded. Sorry about that

If thats what you read then you really are.

spidermines are stationary and cant attack workers

widowmines serve the same zoning type of role but can also be moved around and used aggressively and can kill lots of workers as well as limit protoss to a few openers with the timing they can come out

Spidermines also can't attack air and are not reusable

well ... 820 mentioned punishable openers. If the widowmine should be punishable, then so should the SG opener and twilight ... but this really isn't the case. The only counters are probably blind banshee - and with the addition of the oracle detection this doesnt even counter SG anymore ... so this argument falls on deaf ears. Protoss have had control of the early game for the entirety of WoL.


But I agree that WM in worker lines are a problem .. esp with a 1s burrow time. However most of these qq nabs aren't talking about WM drops because they're playing in pre-school leagues. tbh the WM drops have just started after the nerf to hellbats, lol

Vultures could drop mines just about anywhere and they were made in large quantity .. so even though WMs aren't stationary they are similar to spider mines IMO. In my experience a windowmine doesnt get a chance to shoot many times (many being 3+) before dying



Before you were just amusing, now you're just obnoxious. I have a degree in computer science that I obtained with a 4.0 GPA, the fact that some lowbie scrawn thinks I'm less intelligent than he is really means so0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o little to me ... you have no idea. Literally every post you've made is some contrived scenario where your opponent somehow has mines that shoot far enough to kill your observer, or a mass of units that somehow you're unable to prevent from killing your observer. Everyone else in the past 2 pages has posted a legitimate reason why they dislike the WM, you however, just come up with some fallacious arguments as to why WMs can't possibly be countered.

I feel like it's a big defect of them that they cost supply, I wish them to be weaker but cost no supply.

Lol.....I created this topic to talk about zergs....but now there are people fighting about widow mines... -.-

Zerg hate widow mine --> Terran arrives to defend their race and accuse it of not being OP ---> More Zerg´s arrive to give Terran one last chance to tell the truth instead of defending their race or they will go straight to hell after dying --> Terran still defends their race ---> GOD arrives and fucks all Terran´s mothers, especiality those who defend their race even thought they know it is OP. --> Terran cries and cuts their wrists. --> Zerg says "Fuck yeah, GOD! You´re awesome" ---> THE END!

Well i dont mind seing Terrans defend their race....I remember how much zerg was defending their race during the imbafestors/brood lords/corruptor time lol especially when the whole community was raging...it was super obvious how OP zergs were even stephano said, yet zergs were defending. pretty hilarious.

so let terrans do it now.

Where did I say widow mines can't be countered? I said they were a good contain unit and they are.
I said widow mines are a good contain unit, which is why I don't like the widow mine.
I never once said a widow mine has to kill the observer, I just said observer needs to die whenever it gets spotted its basic common sense.

So yes, you can't even read and comprehend simple english dumbed down to the point where a 7yearold bronze leaguer could understand so I have every right to think my self highly than you.
And no, you did not get 4.0 GPA and no, Humber/Sheridan/York/George Brown/Ryerson are community colleges not real school.
The fact that you'd even have to resort to making up lies about your real life and resorting to personal attacks (made me laugh) to back up your argument makes it pretty obvious where you're standing in this thread right now.
