Anyone that says Zerg is too strong - isn't the solution simple then? Just switch to Zerg. Don't whine. Anyone that says Protoss is too strong - isn't the solution simple then? Just switch to Protoss. Don't whine. Thanks, it gets annoying. | ||

Doesn't the replay bug piss you off? When somebody else leaves a replay on b.net that i created, it says: Klogon has left the game. That's a bug that should be fixed. | ||

It's well balanced and there is no need to make another patch. If there should come a new patch there should be a new function, with something like microphone support or something simillar to that. ^^ V | ||

Also, a few of you decided to whine anyhow - well have fun. This is the most annoying thing when I hear "Oh, Protoss is too weak wah wah wah" or terran is too strong or whatever, I'm so god damn sick of it! Then Reach wins ongamenet and you all get quiet.. well it will NEVER EVER EVER get more fair than it is now, so stop whining! Or go play warcraft 3 or something. | ||

Everyone has a MU they have problems with, this just means you have problems with the MU not because of a racial imbalance. Some people are so reluctant to drop their losing habits they are happier stating there is a race imbalance. If cannon rush fails this doesnt make PvZ imbalanced, please for the love of god grow a pair and play the game instead of trying to win it with a gay rush every single time. | ||

. I find they are usable sometimes but unless you are going for hive tech it is not worth buildings queen's nest just for queens (and if you are building hive tech you likely have an advantage anyways). | ||

-____- I mean just lair tech (hydra/lurk mostly) isn't ALL that hard (to overcome). But when you have 3-3 crack and 3-5 ultra together with left over lurk hyd and some guards then you are really going to own (assuming u have a sufficent eco). Regards FrozenArbiter | ||

i mean maybe ief you slowed barracks build time down by 10 seconds.. that would be ok or maybe tweaked with toss air a little bit (As the scout has more or less no use?) but ultimately i love bw the way it is and i wouldnt want any changes to fuck with the game :-( | ||

). Protoss is too weak vs Zerg, period. You can ask any 'top' Protoss or Zerg player about this and 90% of them will agree. Every other imbalance is created by the maps that are used in tournaments. | ||

And for those saying stfu, stop whinging and switch to the strongest race, that's not the point, I want the game more balanced. Turrets too cheap and strong, tanks too strong, spider mines too much value for $$, marine medics owning lings,hydras,mutas etc the list goes on. Yeah call me a whinger but i believe i can say what i think on a forum like this.  | ||

Siege mode is good.

Also Dark archons rock. Pro's do use them, I have seen rain use them more than once. They are very good in the beginning (when you are likely to have hydras doing hit and run on your cannoned expo), good vs crack/ultra, good vs guardian, good vs the occasional zerg magic user. They are just overall really good. Regards FrozenArbiter | ||

Terran is not too strong! In my Opinion Z and P players just use wrong strats (vs ter) .. Example: Rekrul vs Elky. I'm not saying Rekrul played wrong (only few would have done better) but man this guy just runs again and again in Elkys mines and sieged tanks! Why doesn't he try to drop his main? Storm the nat (from the cliff) and use dt's ?? Don't understand that. For me it's way easier to hold my push than to defend 4 dt's dropped into my main. And for z users .. if i were u, i ALWAYS would try to use dark swarm. T has no possibility to stop that except irradiating. And have you ever tried to ensnare marines?? Just great About ZvP i only can say that i think P has to play smarter and not just run around with a large army to kill everything in sight. But i don't play Z or P so .. just my 2 cents | ||

war3 is their major money maker and marquee product. given that they are working on ghost and balancing the war3 exp, the statistical probability of there being a major sc patch within the next year and a half is virtually nil. reason being that post expansion they will be focusing on the next major product and the expansion patches. | ||

zerg should use more queens.. if toss started using queens a lot then the matchup would be altered even more in zergs favour regardless of if toss started using more da's. ensnare is soooooooooooo good (and it is really easy to cast, (much easier than storm), costs 100/100 for the upgrade (so do queens) and 75 energy... one guy mentioned ensnaring rines so they'd take longer to reach the expansion where you just lurker dropped the scvs, how about just ensnaring the scvs so they take twice as long to retreat? ensnaring zealots, they suddenly become equal to nonspeedy zealots and they get buttfucked by hydras.. broodlinging templars, they die, ensnaring goons and they start sucking even more (vs zerg), ensnare templars, parasite templars so you constantly know where he's going, ensnare archons and you can kill them with hardly any losses using mutas.. ensnare rines and you negate stim (or make them move at half- unstimmed speed), broodling tanks, parasite vessels and dropships (and ensnare dropships too) im expecting the next evolutionary step of starcraft to be increased ensnare use. this will make zerg dominate for a while, until toss becomes forced to making dark archons (for feedback), terran will have to start being really fucking creative cause queens are like as good as defilers cept they come way earlier vs t. =[ dunno why I posted this, but I like predicting shit | ||

How do you propose toss use queens? Ah, of course, mass dark archon mind control--a Hehe I played vs someone (from sweden it turned out) who went magic heavy zerg. Man that was nice Got killed pretty badly (though I wasn't ALL that great at PvZ at that time--; [had too few templars, and no mana upgrade for them]). Ensnare is insanely nice really. Also I feel that if toss start using Dark archons, defending expansions would be a lot easier (cannons and mael sounds nice, and it is nice). Sneaking in the occasional dark archon in your army won't cost you much, actually it will cost you much less if you manage to catch a huge group of ultra /crack or hydra in a mael / psi storm combo-_- .Regards FrozenArbiter | ||

-decreased rate of fire for turrets -spider mine damage type changed to concussive (from normal)* Protoss: -Dark archon mana recharge rate increased Zerg: -Ultralisk armor upgrade reduced by 1, build time increased slightly -Adrenal upgrade effectiveness decreased slightly I dunno, just throwing out some ideas here. *not 100% sure that the damage is normal now, but I think the damage of mines is excessively strong vs all units, needs to be more centralized as a COUNTER, not an all around amazingly strong terran upgrade. If terran used bunkers in combination with their tank+mine pushes (as mid-late game terrans have lots of minerals vs gas) it would be even more brutal versus Protoss. John | ||

Anyone else actually read what Nazgul said? I agree with him. Toss needs another weapon VS Zerg, and then all other imbalances are map-based. The only problem with making Toss stronger VS Zerg is that it will also make island games much more in the Toss' favor, where it already is. They should just hold island tournaments. | ||

BTW what the hell is a whinger Yea you've never said you're a gosu cos you're prolly a newbie like me according to you. That's why you feel the need to be so tough. I don't use MUs as excuses to losses. If i lose it's time to say GG and that's that. I (along with many others) find that it's much harder to beat terran while playing toss compared to beating toss while playing terran. Same as TvZ. Many people on different levels agree Terran is too strong atm although it's just their opinion. The Toss or Zerg has to play much harder and take more risks to win a game. I don't find it hard at all to accept the fact that i may 'suck' but i believe i can agree and disagree with other people. You can go look up 'whinger' in a dictionary if you really wanna know.If you can't alphabetically find it, just start from W it shouldn't take too long,it's about half way or so.  | ||

Now I know you have zero understanding of terran which is why you whine about them being strong, Before you post again please just please find a good toss which a decent understanding of the race than try and set up a good push against him, you will find there is more micro in setting up a push than it takes for a toss to break it up you will also learn that with each time a toss crushes your push its twice as hard to get it going again. Toss needs less micro better timing. I'll admit when I was a complete newbie and playing toss I thought PvT was a hard matchup than I read Grrrr's guide back in the day and he wrote that PvT is a hard match up because of toss having powerful units and the rest I am unsure of, but when I read PvT was hard on terran I thought this guy is full of shit until I got better and learned what he was talking about. I don't need to feel tough, please this is the internet who am I goin to impress? I am just clarifying the situation.  | ||
