Hi. I have been following strategies in using marines as a counter to all units but have hit a snag. Even though I'm using mass marines I can't seem to counter a massed infestor baneling ultra composition. Marines are clearly underpowered and I suggest a buff in their DPS. Discuss.

Ps I am a 800+ master league terran so have got gosu micro and macro.

This is called being countered.

You need the APM of a robot to make Mass Marine work in TvZ against Ultra/Bane/Infestor without Medivacs, Siege Tanks, or Marauders. Even then, Marines doing 2 damage to Ultralisks isn't very good for you.

Also you should consider building a very own bunker for each of your marines as that increases both their happiness and ability to live longer.

Personal Medivacs for each of your Marine or even harem Medivacs can also be considered, although due to this game having supply that will reduce the amount of Marines you can make.

And obviously kill off all but one of your SCV's at start of the game by making them attack eachother so that you can build more Marines.

god that place is so horrible. I went to blizzcon's multiplayer forum for SC2 (there were maybe barely 20 people in there) where I guess you're supposed to give feedback on multiplayer and balance and all.

I'm pretty sure I was the highest ranked person in there, people were saying some really ridiculous stuff... some guy went on for like 10 minutes, and then said "and yea immortals being to be warped in?!" and everyone was just like seriously... we just listened to a guy bitch and he didn't even know immortals aren't warped in anymore.

I think I was just broken into masters at the time, but everyone was complaining about how this and that was OP, and how blizzard never listens to them. Then I slowly got the feeling that none of them had ever heard of teamliquid, and were referring to the battlenet forums.

So I raised my hand, interuppted, looked the blizzard guy in the face, with everyone quiet and said "please, I really hope you do not listen to a thing on the battle.net forums, because it's all terrible". They were about to kill me when I implied the game was balanced and that there problems were all really low level stuff that goes away soon lol.

Turns out the guy had no clue what sc2 was, he was just some intern who worked on WOW. I don't even know what the point of that forum was, I think just a bunch of people whine to some guy who they think is important.

Ps I am a 800+ master league terran so have got gosu micro and macro.

Make sure your marines are USA marines, they are the most powerful type of marine and are very good at countering bin ladens.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.
