2.) Terran mechanics are against all common sense of RTS basics 2.1) No workers, no money? MULES 2.2) No vision? SCAN 2.3) Flying buildings that match the speed of a T3 unit (or almost match it - couldnt find data on that) 3.) EMP is a fucking bitch-joke 3.1) No research needed 3.2) Surpassing every other anti-caster spell range 3.3) Rendering a whole army useless (thanks to stupid movement mechanics in SC2) 4.) A healing dropship 5.) Most basic army composition has the same speed of 2.25 The Terran race is just a joke and you all should apologize for playing that race! -------- So, now that we have put all the archetype hating aside... I would like to have a more useful Warp Prism. Maybe if the Power Grid would give a bonus such as Guardian Shield? Or something similar to Medivacs, "healing" shields only? That would be nice IMO. Afar from that it just sadens me every day to see my beloved Toss struggling that hard lately. But don't count us out, we'll find a way, we always do, and our delicious revenge will come...soon... ;-) | ||

QTip has posted a decent Immortal-based approach to stopping the 1/1/1 which works somewhat but still feels pretty damn fragile, but if Immortals were a bit better I think it would crush 1/1/1s utterly, so that this all-in would still be potent if totally unscouted, but if the Toss prepares for it they can deal with it comfortably. It would also make robo a hard counter to both 4-gate and blink in PvP, whie also discouraging war of the worlds (if Immortals can get in range of Colossi they destroy them really, really fast). This would end the coinflip nature of the matchup that currently exists and makes it so crappy. It would also give Protoss a tool with which to hold some of the crazy roach pushes IM Zergs and Ret have been using to absolutely crush any Protoss who FFEs. What I like about this approach, is that the Immoral is fairly unique among higher tier units in that it is directly countered by the 3 most basic units in the game, Zealots, Zerglings and Marines. All 3 races, at all times, have the capacity to produce the units they need to deal with Immortals. If Immortals were made stronger, you would definitely not suddenly start seeing people mass up pure Immortal armies. But what it would do would give Protoss a potent tool to deal with some early to midgame strats in each matchup that are causing them massive problems. And it would also extend the lifespan of Immortals as a reasonably useful unit--right now there is a very, very short window where they are good, after which they are a pretty crap unit. Range 6 Immortals, or Speed 2.5 or 2.75 Immortals. Either would do wonders to help the race feel stable. | ||

Among these guys there are genius terrans. Thus they study the game very well. Bunches of strategies come out. Btw. prince of terran fell to code a.. And Emperor fell to code B | ||

The last balance patch was in early May, the winrates (even in Korea) almost reached all 50% in June. Nothing changed from June-July except that Terran figured out a new ideal 1-1-1 build, and have been experimenting much more heavily in blue flame hellions. Some people have said that Protoss haven't figured out the 1/1/1 since the beginning of the game...they did, because that was more Polt/Jinro's style of raven/shee/marines - now this is a new variation on it that also needs to be solved. If it becomes broken like reapers than maybe it'll be nerfed, people are just way too quick to complain because this is the particular flavor of the season. | ||

Just saying Would it be terribly OP for DT and HT to come out of the same tech building? It would indirectly give the other two races reasons to include detection in their builds (which zergs are already doing vs stargate) so just terran. I mean, protoss already has to go robo vs terran or risk getting raped by banshees. | ||

Sure you have to worry about cloak from 1/1/1, but you can always lay down a few cannons. Or just get the robo as well. If you go 1gate expand vs 1/1/1 tank marine allin and add heavy gateway unit count, you should simply be able to overpower the allin with pure zealots and a few stalkers for banshees. I don't understand the outrage from this, terrans have been losing to 3gate void for ages but I don't recall ever such a huge reaction from the community. There has been debates over this for MONTHS. You probably don't do this build or don't play this game at all. It is a big OUTRAGE when easy-to-execute build that every platinum player can do requires godlike multitasking, microing and even macroing from the P to stop it. You just come to this thread sounding like "it's no big deal at all" and slam something creative-sounding at the table and think you have solved the issues with 1-1-1 at once? | ||

Mutas can get away easily DTs cannot, and i think that is why DT harassment is greatly discouraged since its a suicide mission and high cost of that. Besides i said give it blink in terms of energy base, make it like idk 100 each blink so you can only blink in and out once per 200 sec | ||

Youre assuming the T is a pretty good player and the P is a pretty shitty one, and you want the P player to still win If theyre smart enough to not let you rape them, then you are just dumber than them. If you want a high-level solution, be high-level yourself, maybe then you can find it. The way you talk, no one but successful pros can discuss strategy. And you dont look like a successful pro to me. | ||
