So I tried some unranked games to practice, I don't even know what they do with these newfangled units and it says it would match me against similarly skilled opponents so why not, I still seem to have the old mechanics down where they were, I guess you don't forget that kind of stuff.
First guy builds only marines from a single base (had a starport ready for production at maybe 10 minutes), I push with a few siege tanks and marines so I can get my third up, well he just dies. OK
Next guy manages to be 6 workers behind at around 6 minutes, he got his hatch first opening but what the fuck man, I did no harass whatsoever, just fagged about my base? I did this random 6 rax onebase with combat shields and +1 weapons (yeah I haven't been playing in a while), when my 23 marines, a reaper and some 8 scv's come knocking he has 5 banelings, 3 zerglings and a spine crawler. I watched the replay, so when he sees I have pretty much nothing but marines and no expansion, he proceeds to use every single larva on drones.
Similarly skilled opponents, yeah ok. Well no matter, I only care about figuring out some new openings anyway. I can't help but notice that siege mode is now free, sounds like it's all-in christmas for me.
It takes a few games for your MMR to adjust to the correct spot.
