On a second say, i have to agree. Marauder is now the most cost effective massable unit with the best support units, to back it up. I lack the skill to form a real oppinion on the subject of imbalance though but if blizzard judges them so terrans will cry. | ||

I agree with you "it does not attack air" is not a sufficient explanation for why marauders are 'ok' but you didn't have to say "I really want to hear an answer from the dev's that isn't "It cannot attack air" because that simply doesn't cut it and hardcore SC2 fans deserve more respect. " Basically my mind is subconsciously trying to find ways to discredit your argument right now regardless of what is and isn't correct... it's hard enough dealing with all the bullshit on the blizz forums without the way you chose to write that... still I agree the marauder doesn't seem to fit with <tier2 units that well... but I'm not as concerned as you are. | ||

It just bugs me how late game you basically see the terran get 1 control group of MMM, stim and a-move and demolish almost everything. It just looks(and probably is) waaaaaaaaaay too easy. Throwing in ravens for PDD hardly makes it any harder... | ||

I figured I would embelish it a little so that it would get more replies lol. I was just pissed off about the Dustin Browder response to the marauder question during that dev chat a while ago. I adjust my tone to suit the forum on which I post lol. | ||

All three of these core units have only been nerfed. well when you have a unit like the roach before patch 12 that was 75/25 and 1 supply but had almost as much health as a siege tank (and the only zerg ground unit with more health was a fucking ultralisk) and did 16 damage per attack AND has the burrow gimmick clearly shows that as zerg were underpowered before, they just kept buffing the roach to fix any balance problems until you got the super unit you had in patch 1-11 that dominated every zerg strategy (and ofc now they are nerfing the unholy trinity but I think it's just not enough). | ||
