What is this portrait for rankings and established player stuff?

I need a 4v4 map !!

I've long been a fan of aggro but I've recently played a few more non-aggro matches.  I've enjoyed having a bit longer match with more units coming into play.  Why is it that only aggro matches are ranked?  Could there be separate rankings for both?

I wouldn't mind a reset of ratings/stats even though it took a long time to get to 2k. Rstats did not get reset as you mentioned.

Now that the new patch added a time-elapsed game clock, the zoom buttons need to be moved up a little bit.

It reset them because it saved the stats before they were loaded. The game ended before the stats were loaded.

As Strilac just posted, my stats were cleared too from 2 discons and having no opponents. So now I have a 2015 rating with 4 games played :)

If you play a game with no opponent, it zeroes your stats.

Yeah I'm going to retract the earlier statement about no change noticed with ultras.  They seem to be performing rather well against everything except for HT.  Apocalypse Beasts seem to be especially robust.  It seems archon/zealot isn't quite so potent.  I've seen ultra/roach and ultra/hydra perform very well against it today.  Did something change in the patch besides removing their ram ability?  Or am I just imagining all this since you asked us to look for it?

Also, my stats were reset in the middle of playing a series of games.  My rating remained the same, but I went back to 0 for all stats.  Not that I really mind, but it was strange.

I've found that ultra/hydra does well against zealot/archon/ling.

Careful hobbes or I'll turn you into a big worm.

Check back a page or two and you'll see a bit of an archon discussion.  They're very OP in early game and I think still somewhat OP even later on.

I also agree about the lings.  Once I send out a combo, I generally send waves of lings.  They're cheap, they're fast, and they force the other player to counter them, generally with units that are a poor counter to what's rolling in right behind them.  I'd say I win at least 50% of the aggro games solely by sending zealot/archon followed by lings and maybe a reaper.

I think 2v1 is really the only time I even see armageddon used.  But it does make 2v1 universally unwinnable if both teammates are at least semi-competent.  OTOH, w/o armageddon, it can be extremely difficult to defeat a solo player who's running a good conservative defense.  I think it's a good tool to have to punish players who save up money and then build an enormous ball all at once.  For that reason it can be very useful to the solo player in a 1v2 matchup.

I can't think of how to tweak armageddon w/o eliminating it or making it altogether useless.

First off I have to give you props for making such a well made map. Definitely the best UMS out there. I feel that the unit counters work out really well except for the archon. My standard opener of zealot/ling with archons really has no good counter. I can win the majority of my games with just them.

The same goes for lings for a lesser extent. I feel like they are necessary in every build since they counter a lot of units and can be used just to soak up shots. Not sure if this is the extent to which they were intended for but maybe nerf them a bit.

My only other problem I have is the armageddons when its 1v2. Is there anyway to disable armageddons once it becomes a 1v2?

My Question for the CUSTOM / TUG mode is why is there an option. I've seen several other game maps out there that don't even have a Custom option. Do away with it completely

Yeah earlier today the proper version was on the first page (NA) and now... custom custom is the only one near-ish the top
