The Starcraft Thread - SPOILERS for Heart of the Swarm inside

[Kreekakon]

That's the part that bothered you? Not the part where Mengsk (who the previous game established to be a strategic genius) kept the weapon that could have wiped all the Zerg attacking his beloved city out in the blink of an eye hidden in his office until it was already too late?

There may be several variables which "might" justify this:

1. Mengsk does not know how to use it like that.
2. The artifact cannot be used in such a manner after having absorbed Kerrigan's powers.

Of course, this is still mostly me trying to make up ways to feel better about the plot...
