Marauder drops now kill buildings at a brisk, but reasonable pace. Immortals don't kill depots ez mode (that would be kinda missed tho) A charged void ray can't take out a pylon, (supply blocking, and stopping stalker production) in 10 in-game seconds. Building armor (for terran) would actually be a very useful tool for pronlonging the life of non defense buildings, as most of the huge armor bonuses do not apply) | ||

its just the one retarded unit which is op in every single way and able to instant kill any building with a dropship or a-moving into 10 cannons or spines. i guess i dont need to name it, do i? | ||

Unnecessary. Problem is though, Blizzard wants T to have an edge over the others because the game's called WoL. The upcoming patch fixes some of the problems people have been having with T, but it doesn't address the biggest one of them all. | ||

although that wouldn't really solve it I guess... I'm not going to say marauders are pure imba but they are very very strong compared to roaches and stalkers, they should probably reduce the gap between how much damage marauders do to armored vs how much they do to non-armored though... and also think about lowering their overall damage too | ||

Its not something that's impossible to adjust outside of the normal game mechanics. | ||

you disagree warlocks were OP in tbc? ;D I was ~~2500 rated warlock across all brackets and I didn't even use soul link (UA build) and I'm not that fantastic of a player let me tell you that sorry for horribly OT back on topic; On September 11 2010 09:26 ltortoise wrote: How about just scouting the god damned map so you can see them coming and react in time?

I wish TL had a mute function because you just keep saying stupid things in every thread I read man... you can't have a game that's only balanced if both players play absolutely perfectly... pretty self explanatory... | ||

Sorry to say but that's how it works. Neither brood war or SC2 is balanced around people who fuck up all the time. People always bring up this "difficulty" bullshit, as if it's "imbalanced" for something to have a counter that's more difficult to execute than the attack. I never understood this. Defending is ALWAYS harder than attacking in RTS. | ||

The difference between buildings then and now is that 1) there are more units with bonus to light armor unlike units using concussive damage 2)Bonus damage was proportional in brood war unlike now where fixed modifiers are used. | ||
