Today sucked so hard... since 9:45 am this morning I have accomplished NOTHING. I was scared to leave my house for meals because I have been tethered to my SC2 icon and TL threads. This needs to end pronto so I can function again.
and by function I mean play 20 hours of sc2 straight.

interesting unit changes for zerg in this patch. anyone think they will make any other unit changes before the release? seems like terran mech has an edge vs toss and zerg in the late game assuming both players are fairly equal in skill and resources.

anyone know how to get into matches versus the pros? perhaps ladder games are the best bet?
blizzard should just let us play the beta, we all know there will be numerous patches anyways after release so they shouldn't worry. let us have our cake to build more buzz!
Idk IMO marauders are only really strong if you try straight stalkers or straight zealots against them but a nice mix of zealots(they have to kite them) stalkers (damage) and sentrys for shield make dealing with them not nearly as difficult as i thought at first Yep, 8 stalkers vs 8 marauders the marauders win but 4 stalkers/2lots/2sentry the toss mix wins. the concuss shells are just super strong and so cheap/early to get out. i am able to kite any stalks/lots. sentries which are suppose to be the counter early to marauders just die so easily, super low shield/hp plus they are 50/100 each not to mention the expense of stalks which only give you 160 combined hp vs marauders at 125 hp for so much less cost and build time. in ur scenario i would have at least 3-4 marines because based on the min/gas your 4/2/2 requires. as for zerg you basically need baneling bust cuz mutas get owned by T's marines, turrets and thors plus roaches/hydras die easily. Ultras you need to be super good at flanking such artosis. of course ghosts are just ludicrous vs P, i think EMP should cost something. seems like T has a slightly stronger answer in most situations plus in most games T has many more diverse builds. you can go bio ball or banshee harass or mech or maraud/viking or helion harass or even lift off for fast gold. forcefield kills kiting? / zealot surround/flank? ... i dont know wtf zerg is supposed to do tho. i am noting early game where you can get concuss shells and zees just die, sentries get slowed too and they usually can't get enough forcefields to block off any marauder escapes. marauders can also just kill them outright based on pound for pound resource. fair enough then, sounds reasonable. personally i dont think its too imba, altho i could agree terran bio/ specifically marauders are more mobile and easy to kite with. sc2 boils down to timing pushes based on avail tech/build for early/earlymid anyways. thers plenty of points where one or the other race isnt on a level field w/ ano throughout a game. eg Zerg all the way until late game.
agreed. i vote for stalks at 80/100 and give immortals a little more hp so they don't die so easily to tanks and ghost emps. i think toss carriers and mothership needs a buff too, when's the last time you saw those in action, especially when battlecruisers own everything in late game, only unit you can get 5-10 of and just crush air and land, even psy storm does a fraction. for zerg, increase hydras +20 hp and let them go a little faster, they are just so slow when advancing on T's turtles off the creep. can't wait to see to play now and to see final unit specs at launch.
