Marauder Vs Stalker

Marauder - 2 food HP: 125 Armor 1
-Cost 100/25
-Range 6
-Damage 10 (+10 armored)
-CD 1.5
-Upgrades: Concesive shells cost 50/50 (researched at tech lab that cost 50/25 takes 60s to upgrade)

Stalker - 2 food HP: 80/80 Armor 1
-Cost 125/50
-Range 6
-Damage 10 (+4 armored)
-CD 1.44
-Upgrades: Blink cost 150/150 (researched at Twilight Council that cost 150/100 takes 110s to upgrade)

Yes, stalkers can attack air, but this is still ridiculous. A unit cost less, does more damage, and the upgrades for that unit cost a fraction of the cost and half the time to research. This is imbalance. Chill this is not a garbage thread... I'm still trying to figure out what Blizzard is smoking.

You're missing the point, OP. The races are supposed to be balanced, not equal. There's not supposed to be an equivalent unit for each race that will evenly match with a unit of another race.

Yes is it as a garbage thread as chill will point out, or someone else will with a close, no doubt.

all this shows is that in a straight fight marauders beat stalkers for cost efficiency, that isn't how balance works, don't make threads like this you don't understand what you're talking about.

You sir, are an idiot. Stalkers are faster, attack air, have blink. Just because it doesn't beat a unit from just 1 race on a 1v1, doesn't mean imbalance. Stop crying.

...well, that should be interesting to read. Seriously, out of the major caster units, you pick the two that are the closest to balanced?

I'm relatively sure that most, if not all, of the people in this thread are plat or higher just from the fact that none of us are buying your logic on "balance." Second, just because I want to hear your reasoning...

Please explain how it's a different story at a higher level.

Blink can pretty much negate concussive shells if you micro properly.

You should try out a little game called warcraft 2 Miller. Its the kind of rts that utilizes the kind of balance that you will want in a game, that is, every unit is the same just with different model and name on either side.

For those of us who enjoy a more diverse game, balance is a meta concept that factors in how all units relate to each other and thus you can never ever compare two units to each other and get any kind of accurate read.

Or for the short explanation, don't go mass stalkers against marauder/ghost..
War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
