Just a thought as I was reading the hilarious post by Smurf when it features July and his song that didn't become a hit because Carriers weren't actually an instant win contradicting what most people thought. Shouldn't Goliaths have been kept the same as in vanilla? Because with the upgrade Carriers aren't near as powerful which allows the Terran to turtle up and turn the TvP into a macro war without having to fear mass carriers with no way to defend against them?

and i think carriers are still > goliaths with range as long as you abuse the terrain and micro them good enough. have you ever tried to fight anything without goliath range? it fucking sucks without it TT

im confused about ur post...july and his song? does he sing for fun? and july is a zerg player so what does carriers and goliaths have to do with zerg? btw whats vanilla? its not macro wars either, at least for toss. protoss has to micro their butt off trying to conserve each carrier, and it usually turns out carriers are never the solution these days to win against terran. i saw many VODS on crunchyroll.com and like pusan and anytime, it seemed that they would win like that but terran ended up just scanning their expos and made goliaths. gg
Its all fun and games until Boxer loses a marine.

akamufu, he is referring to the thread "South side is the best", July does not sing in real life - -v

and vanilla is original Starcraft, without the Brood War.

That is why I think he needs to be removed. The terran won't just sit there and let the zerg build up and get ultra/defiler so why should it be able to sit there and let the toss build up and then still win?

carriers are not scouted 100% of the time. what if your playing a tvp and 4 carriers just kinda show up out of nowhere? im pretty sure you would want to throw down some goliaths with range eh?

and how can you compare tvp to tvz? tvz defilers and ultras are pretty much only going to work late game, when you have alot of gas comming in, but carriers can be built at many points of the game and still have success.

and ya, fighting carriers with range goliaths is still not as easy as it looks ~~

edit - i think Drowsy may have gotten my point off better than i did ^^

But still. If you can keep up in expos TvP the money they are using for carriers will significantly reduce their macro and you can just roll over them and razing 1-2 of their expos.

Without range upgrade, goliaths are useless against carriers.



In vanilla, T was strong vs P early game than it is in BW because of no dts, but in late game P is stronger vs T than in BW imo because of carriers.

Whoa, as stated by most people in this topic, gollie range is pretty much the only thing that makes them able to kill carries at all. Plus that they are retarded when it comes to cliffs and ramps. The reason most people use gollies to fight carries is that (mostly) you have a bunch of factorys ready to pruduce them, thus makin it a logical choice.
Also the scenarios you are mentioning are pretty much nonexistant. Terran just turtle and win due to gollie range?

Sidnote: I hate carriers, they are boring to use and they are boring to play against.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

so your saying that the carriers you made will do nothing to hurt the terran army? no, you get carriers, you pick off units here and there, and they make up for thier cost. when he starts to make 40 goliaths then thats what you have your main army for, to rape those goliaths.

when your carriers are cruising around start picking off the tanks, and sooner or later he wont have much of a force to deal with your ground troops.

basically, if you cant win with carriers then use something else, dont make a tl thread about goliaths being imba, because they are not

No, pvt is statistically imbalanced in favor of protoss(at least on old pgt stats it was, particularly on maps that people actually play, on lt and a few older maps terran had a slight lead). Removing gollie range would make an already 1-2% imbalance even worse to equally as bad as pvz or possibly even worse, which makes this an absolutely retarded suggestion. It'd be like saying "OH BTW ZEALOT SPEED IMPROVEMENT MAKES ZEALS WAY TO GOOD PVZ THEY NEED NERF!"
