There's a lot of posts saying "THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO TO FIX THE GAME" and 99% of the times is D rank players trying to obliterate things they lose to. I think zealots should be removed from the game. 4 min zealot rushes are making it impossible for me to even learn how to play. | ||

If only our game could involve an extra 45 minutes of nuking movable defensive buildings. Mocking aside. The next big terran leap will be lategame and will involve nukes. Eclipse has tons of great nuke spots, but it is just a little too small and the center just a little too wide. It's going to happen in 2021 for sure. TvZ only ofc. Back to the topic, if we all agree that protoss and protoss players are broken and suspect, couldn't we just move forward without them? Before modern sports there were leagues where only one race could play, this helped white americans overcome lack of size and talent and earn more money while playing a weaker, less skilled game. Any protoss player who wished to pick themselves up by their bootstraps and pick a skill based race, would have that option. While, we couldn't say the two leagues were equal, we would have the benefit of separation. One of my best friends is protoss, I'm not a racialist, I'm a realistic and the problem is them. For every second place protoss finish, by hook and crook, we could have had a nice well mannered overlord or general, instead of intergalactic theocratic trash. Tiny tweaks ... no. The purifying glow of fire, the grey rain from ashen clouds, the peace and quiet after. Spring time for starcraft and harmony (cue 'The Producers' smash hit) | ||

It's been a very long time since I've played, so I could be wrong, but if you're playing TvP, your factory can be done at like 3:00. If you're playing Zerg, you can certainly make zerglings in time. If you don't believe me, play Protoss for a little while. I think you'll find that it's harder than you may think. | ||

If you said, "Medic Restore? What's that?" Well, you wouldn't be alone. | ||

Scouts are strong in PvZ, but to use them you have to practice a build that can only be used rarely. Much of their strength (which has led to them winning games at very high levels, like mid to high S) comes from the Zerg not scouting for them because there is not much to scout for during the time at which you have to find scouts, so because people don't consider them an option, and don't prepare for them, they also don't scout for them. I do think that maybe scouts were overnerfed back when wraiths and scouts were made weaker, but I still wouldn't risk buffing them, since they're not actually useless. Wraiths deserved the nerf though. One buff I'd be okay with is decreasing research time for scout speed, and reducing cost for it. They already do good damage. One change I certainly would make is to remove the random miss chance for dragoons. I once got an SCV in to an enemy base because a dragoon just missed on flat ground. | ||

Take that, mass Blind! If you said, "Medic Restore? What's that?" Well, you wouldn't be alone. Don't buff restoration. It's already useful vs plague on battle cruisers and vessels. The reason people don't use it much is that you need a lot of medic energy for it to be strong, which you may not always have. If it turns into an aoe spell, then it'll even be effective on marines and medics, thus nerfing plague. Why would we want to nerf plague? TvZ is fine. I am fully against any changes, simply because there is and never will be a trustworthy and competent authority to implement them. I completely agree. Purely philosophically, the game can be improved, but I don't trust Blizzard to do it. They'd just make it worse. An example: The ghost actually isn't useless, but most people think it is, which would result in them changing it. I prefer it the way it is now, and I use Terran (and ghosts). There are maps and situations in which I would use ghosts if I were playing for my very life. You can see HiyA using ghosts on his Youtube channel. Flash also nuked the last Protoss expansion from his main on Match Point (nukes are always strong on maps on which this is possible). I also had a nuke rush in TvP that over my life I have literally only lost with once or twice. I did it as a reaction to a DT rush after I had gone fast starport after an expansion, and it always worked unless I messed up. It worked out so that I could always blind his observer and nuke + EMP his nexus. The few times I lost, he killed the medic before sending in the observer because I didn't hide it in the dropship to bait in the observer and to keep the medic safe. Here's a replay of ghosts being used gainst one of the better players in the foreign scene: http://bwreplays.com/nx9pa | ||
