regarding storm
if I remember correctly, it used to be 8 x 16 damage
it is now 8 x 14

(went from 128 to 112)
however each of those attacks are not "per second"
and this does indeed mean that it makes a difference.

but that's not the important reason why scvs should have 60 hp. they need that kind of hp when repairing buildings under attack and to withstand peonharassment while building buildings.
if you are seriously under the opinion that terran > all then I'm sure you can justify this.
however personally as a random player, I'd hate this. of course, as a random player I never encounter rax before depot builds and I can safely fast expand every zvt I play, but whatever.

i still dont see why everyone think sc is so imbalanced all of a sudden.
funny that zerg players suddenly start to complain about the unbeatable 8 rax strat just because it happened in ONE progamer final.
i mean, its not like boxer invented bunker rushes, they have been around for years but suddenly they are imbalanced.

You guys are attempting to defy the mechanics of the game...

You're saying that a RUSH strategy, shoudln't be able to beat a FAST EXPAND strategy? Wtf? You have to take a step back and look at what is beating what - as stated countless times before, fast expand is a privilege, not a right. And so you try to fast expand and you get _rushed_ and you call it inbalance? You want to make it so the zerg can comfortably fast expand every game and even if the terran sacs so much econ to 8rax [a risk in itself if the zerg plays safely] it's no use?

Bitch plz reconsider before you state more bullshit about how scvs are overpowered.


blahblahbalh



That's great, except 12/3 isn't difficult for zerg because of the fact he can't fast expo, but becuase its hard for the zerg to get control of the middle as well as DEFENDING his expo as soon as he takes it because they are close. Has nothing to do with bunker rushes, fast expoing on close positions is RETARDED anyway.

Increase bunker time? How about we just increase hatchery build time for the same increase that we add bunker time? Would gladly do that. At least you're not talking about lowering SCV health, but I'd also gladly lower SCVs to 45 if lings are reduced to 30.
too easy

If you reduce lings life to 30, zvp would be fucked. Zeal does 16 damage to ling right, and with 2 hits ling is dead.

12v3 is obviously a map imbalance and has nothing to do with the balance of the game.

Most likely blizzard will not change scv hp.
IMO blizzard needs to impruve scarab ai, so he can`t miss once fired.

when did starcraft get so imbalanced?
because boxer beat yellow 3-0?
because some terrans are cheesing a lot in ladders?
sorry, but these are not reasons for claiming that tvz is imbalanced, i always considered it the most balanced matchup, bunker rush or no bunker rush, its not like 8 rax is an unstoppable strategy or something, but the way some people are posting here, you would start to believe it.

This is waste of time. Coz people dont want to balance bw, but they want to dismiss all little things and strategies, they dont like.

Exalted.....

I never liked tree in the first place but now I understand why he hates you so much.

lings reduced to 30? What are you talking about? Do you even use your brain to think? Ever heard of ZvP? What makes increasing bunker build time so impossibly difficult for you? Even though you dont even need to bunker rush a zerg to win a game.

Increasing bunker time does not mean there will be no more bunker rushes, it just means it will be easier to fight them off to maintain an equal footing.

This is an obvious terran advantage early game.

I used to think only the protoss players whine but now the zerg's are taking over that.

I don't see why SCVs should be made ranged if they had cooldown like Probe/Drone. Even with the increased cooldown, they still would have 20 more life than Probe/Drone...

Well terrans used to whine back in the day when 2 hatcheries produced as much as 3 today.

And they also whined about zerg rushes so Blizzard gave them what they want and bumped the pool to 200 bucks. This helped protosses too.

90% of the 1.08 changes were to stop newbie terrans from bitching.
The funny thing is that quick rax builds are much more devastating now than ling rushes were back then.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

Pro terrans were also fucked up. Pretty much only boxer managed to shine as a T.

EDIT: And exalted was clearly joking about the zerg health. He was making a point.
