yeh they would whine about stormdrops, but then again everyother race has to be CAREFUL with their workers. why not terran?
yeh terran can use their scvs to snatch victory with scv/mm micro+bunkers, but its v. difficult. My thought is i think scvs are too powerful early-game, but terran has evolved to a very high degree and they are very difficult to successfully kill/thwart their plans. the other races are by their design very dfensive, and thats why toss/zerg players are called cheesers (do or die strats) when they try to throw their weight around like terrans do. Its because with cheap turrets, scans and effective tank/mm/vulture terran has a good light counter to almost anything in the early game, throw in scvs and the other races whine hardcore. For the other races however, its much harder to have a light counter to everything (cloaked units, massfrontal assault, drop etc) without investing large sums of money and being left behind when a terran expo's and goes for t3h economic win.

Thats why i think people whine about terran, its not a question of scvs, terran is just very flexible in many situations. and a bit of costeffective walling-in / proxy rax/facting can put the pressure on an opponent who otherwise should have an upper-hand overpowering the terran. In the situations when terran cannot out -flex their opponent.

I'm tired, its probably incoherant, but how many of my ~1200 posts ever were?

The game already is very balanced and almost don’t need anymore help. Lower SCV hp to 45 would make early PvsT easier, but I believe Terran will adjust fairly quickly to the new threats. I mean do Terran players think Vulture harasses is fun for Protoss players? 2 Vultures are able to kill entire expansions, while a mass goon rush (and many other rushes) could be stopped by SCV alone.

I hate when you make a great goons rush vs. terran, great micro and macro; you beat the supply and first marines/tank. And get totally owned against mass, mass SCV which's act like a big will, that can't be killed.

45 health of scv is nonsence, coz of storms, upg vultures, dark templars, dragoons, reavers, early scout, 5 pool, 9 pool and so on. SCV will affect all game, coz he have to be used by terran EVERYWHERE and EVERYTIME.
My advice is, when t is so powerfull, play him.
this is possibility to show what is perfection

perfect if u are zerg, not perfect if u are terran
SCV:s should be at 60 otherwise zerg dont even need to think about rush and do like 12 hatch 13 pool and still manage to stay alive.

when did the game become so unbalanced?
since boxer owned yellow 3-0 with a perfect counter build?
i dont think it is statistically correct to judge the balance of a game from the achievements of what, 30? progamers?

agreed with testie

and probe harassing would be far too annoying with 45 hp scvs. I'll support this idea if protoss probes can't leave the buildings they are building.(no, I don't want this. )

this was discussed at SG.
http://www.starcraftgamers.com/forum.php?i=forum&visa=2&rubrik_id=48495&read=1

I think it would be fair to decrease it to 45 or 43 coz terrans have damn medics.
it's fine it's 60 on SC, but in BW it should be definitely decreased.

the entire game is based on workers, terran pwns (see every championsheep) because the workers are so damn strong.

SCVs have faster attacking speed for some reason. Ridiculous. Make their attack speed 1.5 cooldown of drones.

This is not a problem of balance. To change anything except underused units would destroy the very thing I play starcraft for - the very delicate balance that it achieved. What people need to understand is that during all the time starcraft is around, there always was something that people thought of as imbalance. Sometimes they were right but mostly the trouble was just to find the right counter. I think that this is such a situation. So stop whining and start practicing and experimenting. And yes, I am a terran player...

the only acceptable changes to sc balance at this point would be tiny changes to vastly underused units
so no cutting scv health by 1/4 please

a better change is giving drones more hp and/or faster attack.

drones should have +1 armor > , more health of faster life regeneration. They are just too weak for scouting. I think other things are balanced enought on balanced maps. One thing that is annoying me is spider mine splash damage. I mean you can loose 2-3 dragoons in early stage of game just to one mine if they are damaged before.

Btw. do marines get any range addition once they are inside the bunker ? The bunker is a large structure that fires, not only a single unit placed in a certain sqare, so I am wondering how the radius of any of four marines is calculated.

why can't zerg do any build other than 12 hat

if you make bunker build times longer then pulling off any bunker rush is nearly impossible

bunker rushing is part of the game because it keeps zerg from getting away with 12 hat if you as terran go for a lower econ playing style. nerfing bunker rushes dumbs down the game, which is always bad.
goliaths are awesome because they kill evil carriers - yay i have internet at my home now ^_^
