This game is hard enough. I don't need Heartbreak Ridge making it any harder.
I'm already a dumbass and choose to play Terran as my main race. (seriously why am I playing terran? I think I asked why in a previous blog...) Terran on it's own is a fucking impossible race to play. Every game on any map is like uberhardmode. Now add this god awful map called Heartbreak Ridge to the equation and you get some ridiculously stupid mix of uberhardmode and impossibility.
What it should have been called was fuckyouintheass ridge.
I swear EVERY possible FUCKING thing that messes with your mind is in play on HBR. First of all it's a one on one map, so say hello to bullshit cheeses 24/7. Proxy gateway in ur main with pylon on ridge outside. How fucked up is that. If you spawn right side you have to wall or u pretty much get stolen gas which is pretty much gg. Especially since there are no ramps. Are you kidding me? No ramps even? At least on destination we had a ramp. As if no fucking ramps was bad enough, there's a LEDGE above your choke. rofl? Ledge above ramp is bad enough on colo2 but at least there you get a nested natural. Here any possible wall is on the inside so you still have to work your ass off to simply survive a 10/15 gate and then still have to work like a mofo for ur expo.
Your nat is a joke, positioning turrets vs muta harass is like rofl. You can place turrets above but they get picked off so easily. You can position stuff below but u have no vision and he just rapes scvs randomly and ur gas always gets raped. Oh and I just found out recently u can siege tanks at the third and rape the other guys nat gas TvT and other guy can't do jack shit about it. fucking homo.
There are multiple main paths to the enemy base. Your army can be pushing on one side while a million troops march for a counter and when you try to pull back all ur shit gets clusterfucked in the middle. Oh by the way why the FUCK is there a base in the middle. I swear it's probably more fucking retarded than the middle base on Andromeda. Good luck trying to take a 4th base TvP. Good luck taking out zerg expos at 11 or 5. If they position sunks correctly and have swarm the chokes into those bases is so small its gg no re. And it takes u an hour to get to those bases. Reminds me of Katrina when ur troops basically had to run 26 miles to take out zerg expos. hell even taking a 3rd base feels shitty. half the time when you try to take 1 or 7 your stuck covering with tanks on the low ground near one of the ridges. If you don't mine+position perfectly every time u get fucked. How stupid is that? I mean seriously this game is a fucking hardmode game already why... just why.
Did I mention the temple+mineral fucking idiotjoke behind ur natural yet? No? Well guess what, whoever decided this map wasn't a fucking homonightmare already decided to add this shit which u can mine out or glitch units through. glitching DT's through there is really fucking retarded. You can have turret positioned at ur nat and turrets in main but if he glitches a few dts or mines it out u can get fucked so easily.
I don't give a shit what the progaming stats are on this map btw this is the most imba and most retarded map ever. (I'm sure it's a "Terran" favored map, BULLCRAP)
I do believe this is the worst map to grace the competitive starcraft scene in my 11 year history of playing this stupid game. It's motw on iccup right now and easily the most popular map in random public games. F that and F HBR. All I can say is the next one on one map better fucking have choke ramps or there will be hell to pay.

& how about you scout cheese or send a early SCV out if you know its a 2 player map.. shit is common sense.
and gas stolen? Lawl.. how bout you cut a scv for a bit and take it a bit earlier?
Although I do agree with the turret stuff, complete bullshit.

Thats why pro terran players put an scv on each path to their base, later they use flying buildings, but up untill then you need an scv or like you said they just go around u and into your base.
Then guess what happens? u get clusterfucked in middle.
you can also use 2 supply depots and a rax to perfect wall ur nat.
the ridge above ur nat is agreeably retarded. zerg just 2hatch muta and pick off whatever ur using to sight the mineral then go into lurker and screw up ur nat. ive found that literally walling it with turrets works best.
i dont know if u were asking for advice or just ranting but i feel ur pain.

Fuck that. Terran is the race of big dicked Vikings who rampage across the galaxies in huge battleships, rip up the ground with artillery spawned from the forges of hell, and send waves of valiant warriors to fight the freaks of science. Much better to die an awesome Terran than to live as a magic wielding fairy or a mindless sac of biological goop.

Everytime I read a rant about Terran being hard, I'm so fucking not annoyed at all. I feel so compassionate, so understanding, so warm... The feeling that I'm not the only one out there suffering.. We're all suffering together...
Yes Fuck Protoss Fuck HBR
