Ask blizzard why.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Flash pretty much only plays defensively and he's arguably the best Terran player in SC1, and won the OSL and got 2nd in the MSL. So I don't think playing defensive is "noob", and if you think playing a bit defensive and passive and letting your opponent make the first move so you can exploit it, you're the noob. You can't be on the offensive and winning 100% of the time in every game, there's no unit that can do that and there's no possible way to do that outside of Copper league. Stop thinking so. Change your mindset or go to another game. A good player knows how to play passive and aggressive. You're declaring the correct counters to your issue "noobish", and are calling any and all reasonable ideas that EVERYBODY uses "noobish" So I guess everybody is a noob except you. And I highly doubt he's in Platinum. And if he is, so what? you can reach platinum just 1a'ing your way to victory. You win all 5 placement matches and you get to platinum. You know how easy it is to win all 5 placement matches? Plus his own words speak for themselves. "I banshee spam TvT, and I win all the time. So that matchup is balanced and skillful. But in the matchups where I can't mass one insta-win unit, and I actually need to think, it's imbalanced."

i got top10 plat sometime with marine push abuse but now its not so simple cas toss dosnt make fast immortal now.. and zerg dosnt make fast expand..
mby i should switch to toss or zerg (and porbably i will do) but i think i can pwn even with terran but i hops blizzard will fix void ray.

So you're saying because Protoss and Zerg aren't doing what your build is designed to counter, but instead doing what counters your early-push the race is somehow imbalanced? "Waahhhh, people aren't FE'ing when I'm all in rushing, obviously imba races!"
And void ray is fine FFS. Stim Marines, tada, dead VR's.

+ Show Spoiler [flame] + "top 10 plat" Get over yourself. top 10 is horrible in 99% of all cases.
Honestly after so many pages of replies I don't think I can say anything that hasn't been said already (and if I did you'd call it noobish. P.S.: #1 plat before you wave your horrible english around). Edit: AND I play Terran

u read my post??
with terran u can do the same stupids rush bos.. a little harder, but u can..
play in a smart way, get eco, scouting, multitask, high apm, etc... just doesnt make sense right now. Are deep problems in the programming dimension of the game.. all its too fast, the units and buildings die before u can do nothing.. when u micro u are just messing things and u are dangeously leaving macro mode.

cant u get that THING THAT EVERYBODY USES CANT BE GOOD CAS EVERYBODY CANT BE TOP1 IN WORLD. top1 is one player and he useses his own tactics and DONT CARE WHAT EVERYBODY USES. i m stable about 40-50 place in platinum.. its not only 5 games. btw u can watch my replay pack where i totally destroy terrans and cant win zerg or toss.
tvt is balanced cas its mirror.

Again, getting to Platinum is nothing special. I won all 5 of my 1v1 placement matches too, I went against total freaking retards every game. I won my first game at rank 60 in Platinum, and I got bumped up to rank 48. It's not freaking hard, stop acting like it. The summing up of every one of your arguments:
"I can't spam units and win, so it's imba" "People aren't deliberately doing things that my build counters, obviously the race is imba" "I spam in TvT" "I'm in Platinum, therefore I'm l337" "Playing passive or defensively is only for noobs, even though top players do it"

why isn't this shit closed already?

pts dosnt show skill. it just shows the time u play.

Only Darthturtle tried to help. No one else did anything, except complain at my pleas for a few good replays or practice games against Protoss as Terran.
Please prove me wrong, and help if you wouldn't mind.
Sweet jesus, are you serious? Every third post in this thread tells you how to deal with them as terran. There's a bunch of threads specifically (Gretorp's is especially good) devoted to countering Void Ray as T. Since you adamantly refuse to put any work in to this here is an easy counter: rax/gas/rax/ghost aca/rax/tech ghostcloak. Make 1 reactor and 2 tech labs, if you scan and see gateway timing push then go heavy marauder, if void ray go heavy ghost. It's really that easy.

this has got to be a troll

pxaxaxaxa why would u ever need HEAVY ghost? what means heavy? u mean several? so i have to make unit with dps of marine to make several emps? isnt 1 ghost enough to make emp? or i need 5ghosts to be totally destroyed by mass void rays or land push? also toss can make void ray and fast expand and he will laugh about your ghost.

|
That's because you spam Banshee's against Terran, and you think that cheesing all the time should win all the time.
|
its not cheese i just use game mechanics as best as possible. btw terran can counter my tactics at least by mirror tactics. (if he smart enoug).
but how i mirror void ray? u tried (theres replay) but vr kill my base faster then my banshee kill toss's base.
|
Since you will not accept the counters proposed here my suggestion for you is that you go play protoss or zerg and copy whatever is beating you now. See how your opponents counter it when you do it, then if you still want to play terran you will know the counters you are looking for.

1st: Please edit your profil and give yourself a birthday my guess is something like 31.12.2001.
2nd: vs protoss I play: normal opening - 10 depot 12 rax 15 OC... into 2 rax(first teclab only for updates second rafinery) 1 fact i push with 4 tanks(siege) and only marins (update stim and shield)
worked for me vs plat and gold(no 4 gate push though)
