VERY late game Zerg = GAY. Try managing to salvage your army with your last mining base, only to realize you couldn't spare ANY gas on scourge, and 12 vessels fly over and destroy everything you have. While you micro to spread out the irradiate, then 15 tanks and a hundred million marines just tread over to where you are, and you lose everything you have. In attempt to save your army, you dark sw- OH WAIT, THE VESSELS KILLED ALL OF THE DEFILERS.

Not to mention 7 marines and 1 medic can destroy one base. 400 minerals one 25 gas can kill 8 drones, one hatchery, and jump right back into a dropship.

I play Terran because I have pride. When I got to D+ on Terran, all I thought was hahaha who's laughing now you Protoss 1a2a3aers and Reaver Droppers? I play Terran because when you meet people who play StarCraft, you can always say, I play TERRAN. To me, that sounds like "I can kick your ass with my hands tied behind my back". It was always the most satisfying for me to win with Terran. I always feel like something is missing when I win with Zerg, even more so with Protoss.

To paraphrase Grandmaster Artosis, the entirety of Terran strategy for every matchup can be summarized as waiting to get enough tanks to kill an entire army in one volley. Even the short-sighted and simple Terran players can recognize such a great imbalance. But I have to admit, having the fastest unit in the game on only the 2nd tier of tech with a short build time, that can shoot fragmentation grenades capable of vaporizing all peons, zerglings, zealots, defilers, and high and dark templar in seconds, and can even shoot these grenades backwards without losing acceleration, AND can shit out three mini-nukes that burrow into the ground only to pop out at the perfect time and seek out an enemy unit at an inescapable speed, gives siege tanks and their arclite cannons quite a run for their money.

Ah, how could I forget their cost? Let's make a list of units (excluding peons) that are cheaper than vultures:
--Zergling
--Marine

That was easy.



To OP: Why the hell are you complaining?

- Vultures cost efficient
- mines kill everything
- Firebats kill infinite number of lings for cheap cost
- Buildings fly
- Incredibly Versatile
- Tanks have omfg range
- Goliath range is like across the whole screen
- Fucking play greedy cuz your safe with a wall that u can convieniently repair
- Workers have 20 more HP because previous patch was worried about early ling rush, but in response to that, they raised the cost of pool but forgot to lower the health of SCVs


Do I need to make my list longer or do you get my message that someone who plays such advantageous race should not complain?

Don't even get started with Protoss 1a2a3a joke, T is easier than P at C+ level and above

I logged in at uni just to rate this shit a 5, so fucking true, all of it. First we got fucking zerglings, running around the map, letting zerg take every expo their greedy fucking fingers can take before I have enough to even pressure sunks, and then I get fucking backstabbed anyway! Lurkers, most imba shit in the game, I don't have enough APM to scan, stim, spread AND macro my shit, because when I lose my rines (and I will) I need replacements to let me hold on until I get fucked over by hive tech. Fuck off zerg complaining about your defilers getting irradiated, I could irradiate 5 of those fuckers and still get swarmed at my nat, not to mention my vessels getting raped by rogue scourge tricking around just waiting to blow their cheap arses up on my fucking gas expensive shit.

the scary thing about turret is that it's 75 minerals and it shoots so fast it can kill your shuttle if you take your eyes off for a second

Agreedd

Don't complain about Turrets, Turrets are actually fucking good. You would think, "Because Cannons attack both ground AND air, it should be double the cost of turret right?" Well turrets are repairable, it shoots FASTER than cannons, more durable than cannons (shield health is weak), and the fucking AI doesn't switch like cannons when a dropship drops a unit. When a dropship comes against a cannon, cannon Ai will switch from dropship to the unit dropped so it doesn't kill the dropship

Yep, no wonder Terran players are among the angriest nerds in existence. But as others stated before, the satisfaction of a win is just 10x bigger than with the other races.

ZvT is harder than TvZ because of many reasons. Irradiate, MnM > infinite Zerglings, Tanks > Lurkers, 1 dropship of mnm = dead expo, muta harass takes a lot of micro, and playing vs mech is like a whole new matchup.

TvT is hard, but obviously not imba.

TvP is harder than TvP, but there's a lot to complain about as Protoss too. Mines, Infinite range tanks, 200/200 Terran > 200/200 Protoss, etc.

Terran is obviously not an easy race though. You gonna alt+q+q and change to Zerg or Toss now? I can't wait for the next blog lol.

Are you on drugs? T has so many methods to cheese, and the many people think they should be labeled as non-cheese because of how NON all-in it is. Bunker rush, 8 rax proxy, wraith opening, Building liftoff into main, Bio rush in TvP, 2 fac, SCV rush, etc.

How many options of cheese are there for Zerg in ZvT? Early ling production (4 pool/5 pool), offensive hatchery (very all-in)

And Zerg cheese gets punished so hard its not even funny while Terran cheese gets UN punished so much that most people are starting to regard it as non-cheese now.

Wow you need to stop complaining, I know this is a blog but a big fuck you to a guy who plays T that complains about these details

Reavers are not the worst unit, I think you're complaining about the scarabs within the reavers because they are often duds

Yes Dragoons are horrible, shitty AI always clumping and blocking each other and weak compared to T units. But what sucks is that Goons are one of the main units in PvT

IMO, the brave kamikaze zealots do alot more damage to a terran 200/200 than goons ever could.
