mmmmm I think like that the game could be balanced
improve muta size from small to medium (that one would really balance pvz) then goons would be better against them but same against m&m's
reduce slightly air damage of gols (they would not be too powerfull against muta)
maybe slightly improve tank siege/unsiege time
that's all
sorry for my english cya

NONONO increasing to medium size would be CRAZY !! ! ! you have no idea how many things that changes and so many times when zerg need mutas .... HELL NO nonono !NO NO NO

k that would effect muta vs turret muta vs goliath muta vs goon muta vs cannon muta vs sair muta vs valk...

think again :D

siege range for tanks could be increased so that a tank can hold of those dirty lings before they reach it

yea exactly like on my level i think that zerg is better.. but those few pro gamer terrans who might have an advantage over zerg.... what 3 terrans? .. lol sure make terran weaker ill just own with zerg more at my level : ) and MisterKatosS it will effect the game against all those things except photon cannon.. mutas are expensive as it is. 100/100 each where as protoss goon cost half as much gas and still are stronger than mutas 1:1 not to mention all the other things it will effect.... no that would be an extremely BAD idea it would mess up the entire zerg game

The game is fine, just shorten the research time for psi storm and everything would be balanced!

I skimmed through many of the changes so I'm not going to comment on those, but you should know that there is perhaps only one guy left at Blizzard who still cares about Starcraft =) Balance changes are not going to happen no matter how badly wanted.

haha muta into medium would blow pretty hard. I mean how about pvz isle? sairs already beat mutas when they deal 50%, they'd rape them even more with 75%

tho, it would make reaver+goon really good in pvz. but probably too good.

also, the only way you could change devourers to balance pvz isle would be letting zerg get devourers faster. (because after you have devourers, zerg air starts to beat toss air costwise. ) like you could make it possible to morph a greater spire without a hive but with a queens nest, but that would make guardian rushes too strong. -.-
and if you say you'd need a hive for guardian but not devourer then well guardians would still appear at about the same time cause you could just start greater spire and hive morph at the same time.

yeah ZvP on islands just need to be patient. Many people complain about ZvP being bad for Z but I think it isnt that bad, even though Im a Z player myself. They are used to dominating the Protoss with aggression and Containment on land maps and dont know how to play defense past the early game. They dont know how to use devourers all that well either. If zerg can just guard against corsairs and not be too anxious they can take an expo and sit on that until Dev+Muta+Scourge+Guard combo. Ive seen Hot work it very well against Giyom. Zerg just needs to think differently in a strategic sense on islands than they do on land.

It would probably be better though if devourers were 125/50, or available at Lair with a small Aspect upgrade to the normal lair, like 50/100. That would give the Zerg player a fair midgame on Islands.
Well it was bad in the beginning, it sort of went downhill in the middle, and the less that is said about the end... the better.

yeah but the sairs can only be at one place at one time. If you split them um then they arent concentrated enough to kill off scourge and harder to control. All zerg has to do is sneak some hydras across in overlords and Protoss is in big trouble if theyve been building a bunch of corsairs.

Nice, but you missed Battlecruiser (133). You also don't have to research Feedback. What is "Halls" under 120?

Edit: I presume you meant Halls to be Hatchery =)

yeah i forgot a few, unfortunately, still working that out. it's a lot to memorize. i used to have dark swarm in there, too. imo you can learn something about how much blizzard did (or didn't) balance when you see the build times of spells that no longer need to be researched

halls = hatchery, nexus, command center, i.e. town hall and great hall in war2 i.e. peons meaning peasants, scvs, drones, probes, and peons.

I can't stand how people want to fundamentally change the game because they suck at certain matchups.

The only players in the world that make TvZ "imbalanced" are BoxeR/NaDa/ILoveoov/XellOs etc. Even then there are a lot of other factors to explain Terran players winning. Such as Zerg not taking advantage of all of their capabilities (need to use Queens/Drop/Hive Tech more).

All that really needs to be looked at is stuff that has been shown time and time again to be imbalanced, which is PvZ island and ZvP land.

Since Protoss players are getting better at killing Lurkers I don't think that's that big of a problem. The biggest problem is that Ultras are too damn strong. I say that Maelstorm should be made better in some way to counter Ultras (my opinion).

I don't know what to say about PvZ island, as I really don't know much about it other than that it's damn cool to watch.

Every other matchup is balanced just fine. The only other change that really needs to be made to the game is that all land units without exception need to have AI quality equivelent to the Hydralisk's.
