i especially take issue with sensor towers. because terran is such a good turtler, they're just so so easy to protect and imo, really pretty damn imba. also, zerg drop costs 300/300 doesn't it, not 250/250? (im thinking along the lines of 100/100 for ovie speed, 200/200 for drop) | ||

(im thinking along the lines of 100/100 for ovie speed, 200/200 for drop) Yeah thought it was 150/150 for drops but they changed that didn't they, shows how little I actually play this game lol. I like to watch it far more hang on I'll fix that. And like I've said before it's not any one of these issues in particular it's how well they work together. | ||

I might be eating my words later since stalkers wouldn't do as much. But I stand by my phoenix build  | ||

Marauder+stim+medivac should be the biggest headache for blizzs since its easy to pull off and hard to counter. | ||

About 10 seconds for either removal, or re-joining would be sufficent (although not both). This way you don't sacrifice the ability of the Terran to mix and match, but slow it down so that you have to think about it and plan carefully, not instantly switch production modes. I also like Husky's idea (as well as other people) for adding back in the academy as a tier 1.5 tech building where you see the research happening for stim, reaper speed, and concussive shells. Researching marine shields at the tech lab isn't so bad because it only affects tier 1 units. Siege tech, and infernal preigniter i don't mind researching at the tech lab also, because the factory comes out later than the barracks. Also, the Thor air splash should be an upgrade at the armory, rewarded by a SLIGHTLY larger AoE than currently (hitting maybe 2-3 magic boxed mutas instead of 1). Starports are fine as it is imo. | ||

How are sensor towers vunurable? they have a HUGE range and you can build one in you base and the opponent can only dream of killing it. | ||

If I were to change it somehow, I would do something perhaps not immediately obvious, but I think very effective, namely lower Marauder range by 1. This would slightly help other units close in on Marauders, as well as lower their mobile power while stimmed a little bit. | ||

Make maximum capacity of a medivac 4 so 1 tank, 4 marines, or 2 marauders can fit. Then add a 200/200 upgrade to tech lab to double that. This also means thor drops require a special upgrade to work. | ||

and btw, i applaud your slick naming of this thread to make it appear it's not a "balance thread." You name it "why it's not an imba issue" and then the thread is about things that appear imbalanced to you. ... | ||

That being said however I think it'd be better for the game to develop a bit more rather then make changes. That also being said I miss Ovie Speed being 50/50 | ||

As a commentator I am less biased than most competitive players, I watch the game a lot and observe and I've seen many many different situations and the fact that Blizzard is still trying to fix things means that it still needs some adjustments. How quickly Blizzard can get all of these issues in order plus some others could decide the long term success of the game. Many games have failed because of issues that took too long to be acknowledged and fixed. So no I'm not a player I can't tell people how to play better, I can only make observations on what I think might need some working on. So that is what I am doing. | ||

Why not just fix the broken units? Does calling it "overtuned" help you get more buy-in from terrans? | ||

I don't think the game can be perfectly balanced at the moment without changing it drastically. Maybe they'll balance it after an expansion is released. | ||

You are spot on when it comes to the medivac, cant really understand why it hasn't been brought up sooner :\ I hope the medivac will require and upgrade for both drop and speed in the future. | ||
