I need to rant about certain things.

I need to rant about some units, even though I know it's probably completely wrong I want to rant about it.

I hate Thors, seriously. 400 hp, 3 armor without upgrades and 30 damage a shot? thats sooo annoying and so hard to deal with. people keep saying make immortals to counter them, but marines come in high numbers with thors! makes me angry!

I hate Point defense drone! stalkers are pretty much the backbone of the protoss army, why is one spell able to completely nullify them?? Dark Swarm (the BW equivalent) made sense because most zerg units were melee, but all Terran units are ranged!! this annoys me too!

I hate Diamond Protosses. Ever since i've been promoted, 100% of the Protosses I've played have been 4 gating. It's trite, it's annoying as hell, and it's boring!

I hate B.Net 2.0! It's always making me play vs Protosses! I HATE PVP! ffs! in 9 games played, 7 were PvP and 2 were PvZ.

I like to think that PvT is my strongest MU (minus the thor builds that give me trouble) and I NEVER get to play it!!

/rant over

I agree that Thors have no place in a game like SC. But, not much we can do :/

You don't get to complain about PvP, I've lost like 90% of my ladder PvP's so far -_-

Wait.....so you said....that you hate point defense drones because it completely nullifies the backbone of the Protoss army. Alright I get that.

But you're fine with Dark Swarm......

Doesn't dark swarm nullify everything Terran related?

I'm sorry. I don't get it.

A normal composition of stalker/(charge)zealots/colossi or just chargelot/templar/stalker/archon/immortal does fine against thor compositions. Thors in TvP are like ultras in ZvT, theyre only really good if youre already in the lead.

What happened to complaining about marauders? :D

I've always felt that point defense drone was just a little too good for how easily it is obtained and incorporated, but I really don't know enough about the game to make that kind of judgement.

XD Lmao.

I hate Thors when I play against them, I enjoy using them.

As for Stalkers.. When I play as Protoss(which i've been doing more lately; I play as Terran normally), I actually rarely use them. Actually, when I play Protoss, I usually just make Zealots, Void Rays, Carriers, and SOMETIMES a Sentry or Colossi. No Observers or anything. XD
But I've won 3 ladder games like this! XD

In any case, I hate all units I've noticed. I think I dislike SC2 a lot, but I love playing. XD
you are perfect porcelain.

I agree that Terran is imba. (I'm raging now) I raged when I lost, so instead of being like the rest of the ragers, I edited the data through the data editor. The map is Lost Temple and I buffed Zerg and weakened Terran. The most notable change I made was to make it so Overlords could spread creep immediately therefore, allowing the Zerg to wall-in. Also I somehow decreases the synergy of MMM by making their movement speed different.(Marine,Marauders). Ultralisks also do not suck now.
Also, I nerfed Thors' repair time.

Download it and double click it to open it in the editor. Feel free to publish it if you want.
*You MUST publish it to be able to play.
BTW, Mutalisks now have 1 armor and Missile Turrets have 50 hp and decreased attack damage. Let the carnage begin.

You are plain wrong about thors having 3 armor.

Everyone goes through these phases where every race except the one they play is imba...

yes they're all imba! the game is broken! rawr! obviously colossi should be cloaked, and High Templars should cost 50-50 and come out of the gateway with no required buildings, they should come with 200/200 energy and storm researched!!
