I have read at least one time each of this lines...
This is quite funny, because all of this can be read every day on some sc2 forums at differents gaming levels.
So in my mind the best idea should to change the way Terrans are playing. They obviously don't need units, and theirs workers are OP.

So i suggest to obliged Terrans to mine by theirselves with their mouse. One clic and drag for 10 minerals should be enough (in that way they will learn a bit how macro).
On the otherway, as far as they do not need units, they should fire on the enemy units also with their mouse : 1 clic = 4 hp less for light and half for armoured (in that way they will learn a bit how micro).
Buildings will be useless without units to create, but we can reconvert them into ammo factory, ammos will be used by the Terran for fired on enemys. Vespene can be used for create more powerful ammo.
But even in this case i am sure people will find a way for complain. (no workers, ammo too powerfull, no need to create units, etc.).


I am not saying starcraft 2 do not need any adjusment, but maybe people should use their brain before complaining about almost eveything.
Maybe Terran need to be nerfed, maybe not, anyway i am not good enough for have a clever opinion on this. But read people complaining about every terran units, every days, is very boring.

So maybe i am the problem, maybe i should avoid sc2 forum for a while... But i think if people are not complaining about Terrans, they will complain about Zerg or Protoss. I am very interested by clever opinions when someone ask for a nerf, but this last week it's becoming totally stupid and most of post for complain are wrote without explications...
I can understand the frustration of someone who cannot win even if he do his best (idra for example), but i am pretty sure some of people make a lot of mistake when they play vs Terran, and this is obviously easier to ask for a nerf than to try to find a counter (i say this especially for lower gaming levels)


Yes, i am complaining about some complainers =D
Please do not flame me too hard, i know this post is stupid... But i really feel bored to read some sc2 post, wheras i really enjoy read sc2 forum when i have free time.

(And by the way i am sorry for my poor english writing)



1. The SC2 strategy forums are not for posting meaningless threads. Basically all you are saying is hey other people are saying terran is OP here is a long list of crap. I'm sorry that you're bored, go buy a coloring book.
2. Contrary to popular belief. The SC2 strategy forums are not for posting balance discussions. Move it to general. (I realize that many conversations about how to fight a certain Terran/Protoss/Zerg strat can devolve into a balance discussion, but it started as a Strategy Discussion)

3. This one isn't a rule, just my opinion. Don't try to take all of the different comments made be all of the different people and try to lump them together and pretend that it's the concensus that all of those people share. If Bob thinks tanks shouldn't exist, Jon thinks that scv's repair too fast, and Steve thinks that Battlecruisers are OP. It doesn't mean that the guy who thinks that terran air is a little cheaper than it should be has to also agree with everything that the three idiots perceding him said.

4. As a Terran player you should acknowledge the fact that Immortals, Void Rays, Zealots, Stalkers, High Templar, Dark Templar, Banelings, Roaches, and Infestors. Have all been nerfed as a direct result of Terrans complaining. Also. Marauders, Thors and Vikings have been buffed because Terrans were complaining. I'm not making a balance arguement here, just trying to give you a little bit of perspective on your arguement.

It is everyone'ss right to complain even about people complaining, but put it in the right area and as always, if you don't have anything worth saying. Don't say anything at all.

Yes, it's a somewhat big forum.
Yes, Terran is OP.
Yes, people are exaggerating just how OP Terran is.
Yes, Terran players are underestimating just how OP Terran is.
In a large enough sample size you are bound to get just about every opinion represented.
A similar list could be made on people suggestions on how to fix the economy.

- Expand the Government
- Decrees the Government
- Remove the Government
- Fix the Government
- Bring back slavery
- Sell our kids to China
- Use leafs for currency
- Perform human sacrifices to the economic Elder-Gods

This list is kind of funny, even though I seriously doubt you can provide sources for even half of it. However making it seem like just because people are grossly overstating how OP Terran is, doesn't make them balanced.

Zerg is constantly fighting an uphill battle vs Terran and they sometimes have to play a guessing game due to their lack of ability to scout. Yes there are ways to beat strategy X, but it seems like it's always Zerg who has to figure out how to beat strategy X. Terran's job is just to come up with strategy X and sit back and enjoy the win streaks until one day some one figures out how to beat it.

Wow, halfway through this post I was ready to flame the crap out of you, but then I finished the post and realized the true genius of this OP.

A+ OP.

lol "→ Tank : remove tank"

But I think people are going about balancing wrong. SC1 was balanced because all 3 races were overpowered. You don't want to start equalizing all races, or they start losing their individual style.

I'd prefer to keep Tanks the way they are, keep Marauders the way they are, keep Ghosts the way they are, and buff the other races.

Oh, the potential for an excellent satire. Some additional suggestions should have been:

→ Marine: remove rifle.
→ Terran: fuck Terran.

But yeah, OP brought a smile to my face, haha.

Compiling a list of every nerf that has been proposed by anyone on the forum doesn't make sense. Most complainers would agree that a few of those nerfs would make the matchups more balanced but no sane person would want all of those nerfs you listed.

As long as there isn't a consensus among the professionals that there is balance then we will see these posts complaining about certain elements in the game. I actually believe that well composed "nerf this" threads contribute a lot to the community. They practically contain the same content as "epic strategy" threads, they just highlight strengths from another angle and without these threads Blizzard would wait a lot longer before making their balance adjustments.

If one person thinks something is imbalanced then that person probably is a whiner.
If one hundred people thinks something is imbalanced then that might be the case.
If one million people thinks something is imbalanced then something is imbalanced.

It's always funny to notice the people that overdo something and sometime funny how much terran can be the reasons of tears, so it's better to laugh about it than cry and yell in sorrow. But you can admit that having a fast moving, high dps on light(workers) harrassing units in every unit making structure while having some solid AoE hard hitting(tank/thor) repairable units kind of make the others races jalous.

I always cringe when people talk about nerfing, not only SC2 but basically all multiplayer games. It can seriously hurt a game when the developers give into the whine of the month. If there is some inherent flaw or obvious OP which cannot be countered, sure, but more often than not this is not the case

The real change that should be made is the way that Terran plays. Terran shouldn't have a strong attack-moving force (that ability is saved for the Protoss). Terrans should have to rely on good positioning, stimming at the right time, sieging at the right time, and having the correct army formation. In its current state, the Terrans of SC2 have bulky marauders which A-move quite well due to their bulkiness, insane-DPS marines which A-move quite well and vaporize anything that isn't a fully committed force, even siege tanks have decent DPS while un-sieged to forgive unskilled A-moving.

Marines in small numbers simply shouldn't be very strong. In SCBW, a single zergling could kill a single Marine. This was okay because in larger numbers, a tight formation of marines was extremely potent (the inner marines are protected from damage, but can still shoot efficiently) while a large number of zerglings crowd each other, and only the front line can hit. The Terrans of SC2 shouldn't be able to A-move with impunity. By making the Terran army more fragile when dispersed but more powerful when positioned well, this game could preserve its dynamic combat.

With that said, a few of the changes listed in the OP might help in terms of balance, but definitely not all of them. However, "--> Remove Tank" is a change that I would definitely like to see =]

People calling troll didn't read the post obviously... or are beyond help

Funny new gameplay mechanics, would require very fast clicking to kill an army :p

Would have a better place n General though

i can shorten that list easily.. = remove terran..

allthough i certainly agree with u on some of the things, i think that the better thing 2 do, would be 2 buff P and Z... the T bioball vs P as example is so absurd 2 deal with (imo) unless u got both colossi and HT's.. otherwise the medivacs will heal em up easily.. and colossi plus HT's is way 2 much gas 2 handle.. so just buff T and Z imo...
