so many questions which can be answered pretty long in some terms.
I am a 1v1 player and my 2v2 understanding is neither the greatest nor have I ever played more than maybe 30 ladder 2v2 games in a season, hence never going over C-.
1. a dark archon is always a good option, especially in 2v2 where, considering what races your opponents are, you can not only prevent EMP on your army which would remove their shield and deny your casters to cast by losing their mana, it will also damage the science vessel and you can kill it more easily which will force the terran to use scan instead for detection. More scan on a fight = less scan on your army/base/expoes.
Also he won't be able to cast matrix on his stuff and it annoys him.
On top of that, if they are TZ, then EMP+plague = protoss has nothing left and would die.
2. oh well, yes, corsairs are pretty hard to micro. I once tested to constantly go for corsairs in PvT after having 2-3 arbiters out. It is hard to find a corsair that has energy, since dweb costs 125 mana, and you can only cast two of them per corsair, given your corsairs all have 100% HP. So after some time it becomes hard to find a corsair that has already enough energy and the mana bar underneath the unit might not always indicate enough, even though it seems so you click it and it's like 6 mana away or something like that. It's hard.
Also selecting more than one is an even bigger waste as yes, they will stack and it's a waste of an expensive spell.
You however might probably see players select more than one in the situation after a fight or EMP or not full energy in general where they select more than one when all corsairs have a different amount of mana and you just have to cast a quick dweb without having the time to search for one with energy.
And no, I don't have a trick to cast it as quickly as possible, only as any other spell from multiple units: cast it with all of them on the same point while them being still far away, then removing them one by one from the group and giving the remaining ones a new target for the spell.
3. it doesn't matter if it's 1v1 or 2v2, shield batteries are only useful in a situation where you don't have many units and need your unit to stay alive longer because they won't die too quickly with some micro.
I believe the shield battery heals 2shield points per mana (I am not 100% sure), so one can hold up to 200mana which would equal a total of 400 shield points that could be reserved. For too many units, you would need alot of shield batteries, they are mainly useful when rushing some1 or when defending a rush, otherwise in a big battle, your units will die anyways and remaking them is a better option.
4. I guess because of the mechanics and game understanding.
In 1v1 you need a better counter on your own, you cannot rely on your ally, your own skill is all that can safe you.
Yea, also many 2v2 users don't have as good macro, imo, which I noticed when my friend and I played some guys who said they were A- before in 2v2 and we won in a 30minutes game where I basically outmacroed two "A-" players on my own after my ally defended early attacks that almost killed him.
When i play too much 2v2 over a couple of days without 1v1 I feel like i play alot worse, my apm, my decision making, my macro and my timing feels off.
5. Probably it is, I don't exactly know.
Your point about the mnm push, well, if I am Protoss and try to go for a +1speedlot push, they also both have to defend. However, it's easier for terran to defend properly against Zerg air and ground, not so for protoss. Maybe that's the reason.
6. No overlords = No units.
The same is done in 1v1, you snipe overlords instead of mutalisks, because you opponent gets supply stuck and cannot make more mutalisks you can catch up in mutalisks after that while he has to use his minerals for overlords and then can get only 3larvas for additional mutalisks.
7. 7pool? I guess if you want to apply pretty early pressure and do some damage, otherwise it's not exactly an economicaly wise decision, imo.
I guess it depends on your ally's race and your opponent's races aswell, some1 else might be able to help you out here.
8. No idea. |
