Hello everyone, my forum topic on balance got deleted :/ I will try to get this conversation going again. I feal like this game has balance issues so i would like to give my input on some changes that could be implented if Blizzard were to consider updating this game with new unit stats. These would all mostly be nerfs for units that are used too much and buffs for units that rarely see play. Here we go!

Terran:
Missile Turrets can be mind controlled and spawn broodling works on them (their art does show a guy controling them afterall). (Nerf)
Scv health decreased to 40. (Nerf)
Marines go into a crash after their stim wears off causing them to attack and move slowly for the crash duration. Stim can kill your marines if they are low enough on health. (Nerf)
Firbats deal normal damage. (Buff)
Ghosts get stim pack. They get infinite nuking rage. (Buff)
Medics when healing units imbolalize them so they cannot move while being healed. (Nerf)
Vultures cost 75 gas instead of 75 minerals. (Nerf)
Spidermines (I am considering them a unit because I have OCD about each race not having an equal number of units) get triggered and attack allied plus player units alongside of enemy units. (Nerf)
Seige Tanks have 6 minimum range in seigemode. In tank mode, they deal concussive damage. (Nerf)
Goliaths deal explosive damage to ground units. Their air attack consists of four 5 damage missiles (+1 to each missile for each ship attack upgrade) rather than two 10 damage missiles. (Nerf)
Wraiths cannot move while stealthed. (Nerf)
Dropships have light armor instead of heavy. (Buff)
Science Vessals Irradiate ability has a chance to mutate target zerglings, hydralisks, or ultralisks into becoming their campaign super unit counter parts (devouring ones, hunter killers, and Tarrasque). Defensive matrix 150 hitpoints of protection instead of 250. Science vessals can only detect invisible owned units. (Nerf)
Valkyries can attack land with the same attack as they do with air. (Buff)
Battle Cruisers yomato cannon has infinite range. Attack range increased to 12. (Buff)



Zerg:
Spore Colonies can no longer detect (Nerf)
Drone health decreased to 30. (Nerf)
Zerglings no longer hatch two at a time. You only get the one. (Nerf)
Hydralisk now targeted as a large type unit. (Nerf)
Broodlings spawn in groups of 10 now from the spawn broodlings ability. They can also burrow. (Buff)
Infested Terrans no longer die when dealing there AoE damage. It is simply their attack. Recycle 2 seconds. (Buff)
Lurkers no longer deal their line damage, just a single 20 damage shot. (Nerf)
Defilers can only use consume on other defilers. Defilers also now get targeted as a large type unit. Plague no longer reveals stealthed units. (Nerf)
Ultralisks deal concussive damage. (Nerf)
Mutalisk's bouncy ball effect can now hit player owned units randomly. (Nerf)
Scourge only hatch one at a time instead of pairs. (Nerf)
Overlords no longer detect (Nerf)
Queens no longer require the command center to be damaged before it can infest it. Spawn broodlings creats 10 broodlings. Ensnare now clogs the weapons of units that fire projectiles, meaning they cannot fire when ensnared. (Buff)
Devours acid spores now act as orb of corruption from war3 as well as it does in broodwar. This means that for however many acid spores are on the enemy unit, it decreases its armor value (automatically 0 armor if it cannot be decreased any lower). The splash from acid spires also hits ground units (the devour can still only target air units though). Its attack cooldown is also decreased to 2 second. (Buff)
Gaurdians now have the same attack speed as zerglings with adrenal glands. (Buff)



Protoss:
Cannons require that the probe transform into them to construct them, resulting in a loss of the prope. (Nerf)
Probes obtain the same pathing AI and collision as dragoons. Health decreased to 10. (Nerf)
Zealots damage is dealt between 4 attacks (4x4) rather than 2 (8x2). (Nerf)
Dragoons health and shield changed to be 20 health and 160 shields. Damage made consussive. (Nerf)
High Templars Spionic stomwave ability does not damage units that are reverse grounded, meaning units which are touching the ground won't take damage. Only hovering units (such as archons) and air units take damage from it. Hallucination has a 10% chance to not work. (Nerf)
Dark Templar speed decreased to the same as non-upgraded overlord speed. They appear invisible to the player as well as the enemy unless their next to your detectors. (Nerf)
Dark Archons mind control does not result in the loss of all the dark archon's sheilds after casting. Feedback also empties all of the sheilds on a unit and deals its respective damage. Maelstorm has increase of 4 cast range. (Buff)
Archons get + 1 ground armor, light armor type, and plus 1 health regen.
Reavers scarabs cost 15 gas instead of 15 minerals. Their AoE damage also hits allied and player units. (Nerf)
Scouts ground damage decreased by 2. Their air attack consists of four missiles of 7 damage instead of two with 14 damage. (Nerf)
Corsair attack is mellee. (Nerf)
Observers can only detect burrowed units with the exception of broodlings and infested terrans. Can also detect observers. (Nerf)
Shuttles speed upgrade is now in the fleat beacon. Can only carry one unit at a time. (Nerf)
Carrier intercepters cannot leave or enter back into the carrier untill the carrier's sheilds are at 0 as the sheilds will deflect them. Can hold 10 intercepters instead of 8. (Overall Nerf)
Arbiters stealth area of effect also cloaks enemy units along side of allied and player units when they enter its area of effect. Damage type changed to consussive. Recall can now work on buildings but cannot recall units. (Nerf)


These are my ideas. I would love to hear your thoughts on them and see what you all think.
Have a good weekend!
