  • I HAVE RETURNED! In this video, I will be ranking all StarCraft 2 Levels/missions in the game. However, unlike the previous video of tier lists. I will be somewhat more serious, maybe... sorta... yeah.

      Maps? Really? As if the place you play at is the only aspect of each mission? No. They are missions. Each of them have certain objectives. They are not just some place that you play on. They are levels with dynamics, not a place where you just 1v1 someone.

      I like teammates that just take everything as a challenge and don't mind losing if I'm not playing that well. Because sometimes I choose something a little difficult and screw up, but it forces me to get better and it's more fun. It's just not fun playing the easier difficulties and roflstomping everything. Same when I get a teammate that is struggling, it's more challenging sure, but I just do my best to help and I don't mind losing just to see how far we can make it.

    For Chain of Ascension on a slower commander - you can maximize your prep time before the first hybrid wave by not pushing her further than a few yards from the foot of the stairs. If your ally is trying to advance her too far just ignore them

    The one thing that I do not like about dead of night is the fact that you have little space to build your structures.
    With Han and Horner for example: it's a lot of fun to build and use the strategic strike platforms, but with the limited space plus your partner's structures, you are forced to build less of them.

    Favourite maps: Dead of the Night, Miner Evacuation; really fun to play, interesting rhythm with phases between attacking and defending.
    Least favourite map: Void Trashing; too fast, I barely get to have fun to get to my late game tech, and people love grinding this map so for some reason when I queue random map I get this about a quarter of the time and I'm sick of the map.
    Difficult maps: Vermillion (too many things to care about, avoid lava, micro workers, reassign workers, time limit etc.), Part and Parcel (time limit can be pretty crazy especially if you had a bump early game).

      "Good" levels where basically: It's really easy. I love Temple of the Past because it forces me to act fast and efficiently, it's just such a fun challenge.
      Vermillion I kinda agree too, but it had also help me improve my timings when I was just starting to play, so 50/50

  • @Arrows_Of_Doom
    @Arrows_Of_Doom Před 2 lety +2

    Just want to say I agree with the ranking of Vermillion problem, but only after Hard Diff. Hard Diff the enemy gets burrowed units (lurkers). The Lurkers ruin everything. Normal/Casual Vermillion Problem really isn't so bad. Not fun, but also not bad.
    Temple of the past is actually really fun when using Fenix or Karax, and should be a little higher in my opinion tbh. Maybe a C.
    Oblivion Express is great. Easily #1 mission. I am a Terran user for the most part though so I may be a bit biased.
    Malwarfare has good bonus objectives in my opinion, because all that you have to do is get within sight of them, which is super easy with some units (such as fast air, or cloaked). You can then start the process, and fly away with the air unit. Come back for the other two in about 20 and 40 seconds respectively. Last I checked you don't have to be there for it to finish downloading the personalities. Just to start the download. Main objective is also one of few that you can solo no matter what your teammate is doing.
    Lock and Load is not really a B because you can never solo. You need a lot of team coordination, and sometimes your teammate is just unable to get one stupid unit over there. Besides you can call down bunkers on top of the locks with Mengsk, and if you have enough mandate it makes it pretty simple to call down 4 bunkers on top of almost any lock. This is especially true if you are getting over 300 mandate per 240 seconds. You can use your abilities to clear the locks and drop 2-4 bunkers on each one. Too easy. More like a C mission
    Other than that you are spot on, and again that is just my opinion.

      Dude the Vermillion problem is fucking terrible. You sit there every 3 minutes doing nothing waiting to play the game again because 80% of the map will instakill any of your units. Did you hide your overloards behind your base? Don't worry the lava will somehow burn them too. You have to tell your little miners to go fetch crystals every so often instead of getting to go out and kill things. You play stukov? Your army will die before the lava decides to go back to normal and you have to build it again every so often. This mission is just outright flawed from its core concept.

      1. A good part of Stukov' game play is sending in massive waves of cannon fodder with limited life span. The design of this map completely negates a third of Stukov's playstyle. Not that armor isn't viable, it's just not something I enjoy. No other co op level in this game impacts a commander's playstyle as much as this one affects Stukov's.
      2. I didn't say telling an scv to go fetch crystals is hard. I said it was boring asf. Every time I play the mission, I just go squeeze as much fun as I can by go destroying the enemies on the map while my teamate has to be the one to play fetch like a dog for crystals. All while I sit like a duck everytime the lava raises.
      3. Why does the lava affect flying units anyways? It's clearing not reaching them. Why do they burn anyways? Yes it only happened once but it shouldn't be happened at all. How dumb and immerse breaking is it to see overlords floating 200 feet above the lava catching fire and burning.

    specially cuz of your temple of the past analysis, it felt like u were going to give an A or S based on you saying how the bonus objectives were behind enemy lines and you had to deal with the voidspawn that pop every now and then, alongside with enemies appearing in the middle, imo this makes the map less boring and required more attention instead of just waiting for things to come to your defense line to die.
    which is exactly why i disagree on Terrazine map, its literally too boring for its own good, once you clear the initial defenses u just have to sit and wait those slow-ass robots do their work while you defend against 20 supply enemy waves while ur army has, like, 100 supply Lol

      Timed objectives that can get you soft-locked out if if you don’t retrieve them before the lava hits, heavy defense that respawn around each of the crystals that you need to extract - which often enough spawn deep inside already intrenched enemy bases. And if you don’t go after them before the lava starts to arrive, they automatically turn into bonus attack waves that charge either your main or expansion. And this is added on top of the already frequently recurring attack waves that separately target both your expansion and main - and amplified by the limited mobility of your army between the lava surges that prevent ground travel plus the lava spouts that can just evaporate your air army and make going back and forth from attacking to defending extremely risky.
      Also Donny’s commentary… not related to the difficulty but so annoying that it’s pretty much become a meme lol
      It’s hard for pretty much every commander and requires a lot of teamwork between your partner to balance between going after objectives and defending. Soloing on this map on higher difficulties like hard or brutal is extremely difficult. The bonus is also very far away, you have to go out of your way to punch through the enemy lines just to fight it - and it can only be fought in between short intervals when the lava comes - which is just icing on the already infuriating cake.
      Generally agreed by most to be the most difficult co-op mission, although I personally hate Amon’s Scythe more due to pretty much requiring picking aggressive commanders to get through it

    I have probably failed Cradle more times to a teamate not paying attention than every other map combined. Nothing more frustrating than the area being clear and your teamate just not moving the truck 10 feet onto the point. It happens way too much. People are stupid.

    Cradle of Death is definitely d tier.
    Tales of the Past is A or B.
    Mal Warfare at B
    I would put Riftso'K above Malwarfare
    Scythe is C because it's a map that challenges you.
    Void Launch is a little too basic, it's only real catch is it's an AA map. A or B tier because your expansions are annoying to defend.
    Only thing I agree with is the S tiers, and maybe vermillion being the bottom.

    Look, I know this is ur list, but ur telling me Temple of the Past is F? As someone who loves defensive missions as well, there’s no way ur gonna tell me the bonus isn’t easy. The attack waves are obviously a lot, because where else are they gonna go? And, there’s a crap ton of time before a wave gets to the Temple, so getting units between the Temple and the wave will be so easy.

    Imo the vermillion problem category needs to changed to Shit of Amon, seriously, fuck the scythe of Amon map, it is way to rushed, I never can save the bonus objective unless I play on normal or hard. Even after the map got some much needed buffs to the timers and bonus objectives it feels like someone still smeared shit on this map.

    I'm over a year late i know but i feel it was a bit unfair to rag on the Balius pilot lady for being annoying but not Stettman in mist opportunities. His constant screeching makes that level unbearable for me, and my personal pick for the worst mission outside of the vermillion problem (which i will not even try to defend).

  • @evangold4748
    @evangold4748 Před 2 lety +8

    Personally, I think “in the dead of night” is the worst map of all of them.
    first of all, a map that is only fun to play with certain types of commanders (in this case defensive) should automatically not be S tier. A mission that forces certain commanders and play styles to succeed or have fun is automatically inferior to those which can be played and enjoyed with any commander.
    There are custom infested monsters that appear nowhere else in the game (this can add an unneeded learning curve and confusion for new players if done improperly. Most are well designed, so it’s fine), some of which are interesting and add to the game play while others detract from it. If you’re going to make custom units for a single mission, don’t put in ones that detract from gameplay. The worst offender of this by far is the choker which is fine to deal with in the late game, but if you’re playing a hero centric commander this single unit can easily shut down a third of your armies total power in the late game and disable your primary if not only fighting for us near the start of the mission. The heroic unit tag exists to ensure that heroes and elite units are not susceptible to hard cc spam and other anti-fun mechanics, so the chokers grapple/stun ability completely ignoring the heroic tag is an oversight in my opinion.
    The central base in which the players spawn in has a somewhat problematic map layout.
    In order to leave enough room to comfortably fit two players worth of production and tech structures, they had to make the walls far too thin. Comparing these walls that of the wings of liberty mission that this mission is based off of, the co-op mission centre base walls look like paper. This leads to the peculiar problem of enemy flying units accidentally Agro-ing from across the wall instead of joining any attack or skirmish waves they were intended to be a part of which can be particularly problematic against a tarran AI which fields an increased number of ravens and banshees on this mission. This problem can be solved by lining the inside of the wall with defensive structures like missile turrets, but the resource cost of defending your entire half of the wall on top of two attack lanes adds up quickly.
    This problem also works the other way where your flying units can be agro-ed and pulled outside the base, or in the case of overlords get shot at for being too close to the out side of the base when they move to their default position behind the mineral line.
    This particular problem can be fixed by just micromanaging your rally points and units better, but I shouldn’t have to do that in the first place.
    The map outside the base also has some problems. There is no distinction between infested structure filled areas and enemy AI bases, and they’re often bordering each other or even intermingled in some spots (there’s even a spot of infested structures in the top right of the map only accessible by moving through an enemy base!) this is problematic because the infested structure areas are designed to be easy to clear, but the enemy bases are defended by hybrid which are present at the start of the mission. As pointed out in the “Chains of Ascension” portion of the video, running into hybrid early can be game ending.
    Having to avoid and maneuver around heavily defended enemy base areas during the daytime when clearing in the early game, all with OUT any indication of where those areas are ensures that a player needs a complete understanding of the map layout to be able to play the mission properly. Sending out squads to clear areas without supervision and micro can result in that squad being wiped out by hybrid because they cleared their way into an enemy base due to its proximity to the area they were clearing.
    Many of the problems I have with this map can be solved by being a better player and just “playing around it”, but all missions should be doable by players of all skill levels so long as they’re playing on their appropriate difficulty. Unfortunately this mission does not adhere to that.

      Indeed, The starting and only base each player gets sits in a weird in-between of a one base economy and the two basic economy. Not having two bases like in the temple defence mission is a little odd.

    Honestly, I adore Part and Parcel. I think it’s my favorite map. It’s less focused on pushing into massive bases and more about clearing your way around the entire map. The bonus is good in difficulty if you know the timing, and the boss fights are well designed in their challenge. Of course, this is all my own opinion. I also totally agree with oblivion express, such a good map!

    I hate Scythe of Amon. It's definitely an F for me. Temple of the Past is a little bit more bearable when you can set your defenses. A bit more than the campaign's version, to be honest. But Scythe of Amon is way too annoying. Way too little time to do stuff, enemy waves are specislists in deleting your army, and the expansions are way too heavily guarded for their own good.

    I disagree on almost all you said. Especially about Dead of Night, Vermillion Problem and Train Mission.
    Dead of Night: Really boring. For me as someone who's just now reached Level 100 Mastery this Mission is just not up to par. Most times I even have to hold myself back to not finish it before the 3rd night in Order to get the Bonus, that doesn't spawn fast enough. Enemy Defences are practically non existant, except for Lurkers if you have Zerg enemies. Enemy Attack waves do not matter what so ever since there is exactly one, before the 3rd night. So you're under no Pressure what so ever and I dare to say that 2 "Offensive" Commanders as you'd like to call them are better suited for this mission. Since it increases the speed at which you can do the mission tenfold. Even if I can clear the whole map alone on Brutal with most commanders before the 3rd night. Easily a D-tier mission which only is saved by how many buildings you need to destroy in order not to fall asleep.
    Vermillion Problem: Actually pretty solid imo. Many enemy attack waves that apply pressure towards you, which is always a plus -> more things to do. Crystals that spawn semi randomly further away from the mainbase that push you to the outer edges of the map, with a bit of worker management, really not that bad. Oh and the Crystals 14-20 are actually pretty well defended, making for a challenge in the later stages of the map. Add to that Donny as the narrator, which is just funny imo, and you have a pretty great Level. A on my List.
    Trains: Sitting in the middle of the mission with lackluster Attack waves and objectives that actually move towards you is just kinda lame. You get economy up way too quickly and can outpace every enemy the game throws at you easily. In most matches I end up clearing the entire left side of the map just to end the last train 1 minute earlier. -w- Probably a C- to D.
    In general I disagree with the notion of sitting back and defending as a fun mechanic. Yes, there are Commanders more suited to defense than others. Doesn't mean you have to steal both of our times sitting at the base and doing practically nothing but to destroy the one or two waves of infested that come to the base in Dead of Night, with everything you have. Even someone as Defensive as Karax can attack with lower numbers because of Top Bar abilities.
    In conclusion; I think that this Tierlist doesn't really represent either Quality of the missions, nor their fun factor, which you should have specified. But instead focuses on your personal preferences, which I don't agree with. Have a like for your effort tho.

      Vermillion problem doesn't give you more things to do. It forces you to micro your farmers on fetch commands. It makes you sit still doing nothing at times. It features a narrator worthy of far cry levels of cringe talking at you every couple of seconds. It has a small ramp that goes up to your base that isn't hard to defend at all if you have access to bunkers or photon cannons and doesn't really change the dynamic of the mission at all.
