Terran gets the ability to supersaturate while protoss can speed up not only the production of probes, but units/upgrades.

I don't see the problem.


Finally, the two races are in perfect balance. ^^

It is interesting, though, to note that 3 mules is equivalent to one fully saturated mineral line. So a terran who has 3 bases is effectively on 4 bases.

I'm not saying that its OP, but its an important thing to know as a player.


1) Mules are not constant unless you have a lot of OCs. So it's a short stint of fast income, instead of a short stint of faster production capacity by the other 2 races.

2) This picture could very easily be miss leading. Say he dropped 12 mules at once. And this income tab was up while they all started to run out of energy. The video is paused, and the screen shot is taken while the number of mules reads "3", but the income has not yet adjusted accordingly.

3) Mules could be on gold, workers on blue.

4) Mules aren't going to be as effective if dumped on a fully saturated line due to the delay each time they try to mine minerals.


1 is the only valid point.
2 is untrue. There were 3 MULEs.
3 is untrue. All workers were on Blue Minerals.
4 is untrue. MULEs ignore saturation. They do not have any delay.
Please get the facts straight, thank you.

This is not arguing for or against imbalance. I am just disproving him.
There is no one like you in the universe.

The probes in that picture had JUST started mining (1 trip had returned, I believe), so the actual income hadn't ramped up to its actual value yet. This is in addition to the fact that those 38 probes were on one base, so, as stated before, 14 of them aren't contributing to his income at all.

Yay context.

op is a complete idiot
1) this is temporary, a single return when all 3 mules bring in the dough will cause spikes in income
2) terran is always down in workers, usually in tvz and tvp terran is down 20-30 workers as game progresses
3) larva inject and chronoboost can be used directly for unit production as well as workers.
Question.?

Honestly once I stopped taking it seriously this thread is hilarious Though if I were the protoss I'd be a little miffed.

EDIT: To be perfectly honest, my only beef with mules is the supply (un)cost. Terran armies are already superior 200/200, why bother giving them the ability to make more units (mules lategame probably account for 18+ supply drone/probe-wise) while keeping their units more supply-efficient? Anyhow, no serious discussion is going on in here anyway, so whatevs.

Simply an important piece of education so i stop getting PMed when i close threads. Someone told new users that its a good idea to PM mods to refute their closed threads. I don't know who did this. This shit didn't happen a year ago.

I think the mods should secretly create threads like these just to weed out dumb asses and keep TL a more intelligent place

To little effort?


Basically doing everything he shouldn't in am imba thread:
- short, no effort whatsoever
- pathetic "proof" that doesn't take anything into account (how many patches are the probes mining off from example? theres 38 probes but if it was in 1 base then that's barely better than 24, etc)
- shortsighted argument
- completely unsubstantiated claim with no effort at a developed argument , or any elaboration beyond a picture and a sentence
- Covering a topic that's been beaten to death, and has been addressed by better players with better arguements.

Unfortunately people take day[9] a bit too seriously sometimes when he just says shit for the lulz.

Funday Monday is pretty much the only cast where he throws around the word "UNBALANCED" or looks at a unit that has 20 kills and says "not quite as much as one banshee but still pretty good". It's funny as shit though, people should learn to have fun.

Maybe the OP should be given chance to explain what he means by the picture. I really have no clue about what's going on. OP needs to be more descriptive imo.
