When Terran drops vultures in a Protoss base, they will do 2 hits to kill each probe. When Protoss drops Goons into T base, it will take 6 hits to kill each SCV. Please tell me that it is balanced when looking at it in that perspective




What kind of retard drops goons into an scv line? There's a reason certain units are used for harassing. (Reavers and ht anybody?)

Its not that SCV is powerful, its just that they have too much life to be fair. Killing workers is a optimal method of offset the opponent's economy; this is why SCV life have to be reduced to make harrassment equal



Plz tell me how that is imbalanced when you drop reavers/high templars into your enemy's base..

Have you heard of reavers? lol


Yes I know. Whether Terran SCV health changes from 60 to 40 to back to 60 makes no difference in terms of reaver harrassment. Thats why it should be changed to affect goon damage to workers
Game might be semi-balanced but Terran is overpowered race, especially in TvZ

Lol maybe he hasn't seen Jianfei play?

Why the hell would you drop goons?? They utterly suck against workers and would not be effective whether or not SCVs had 40 health. Do you do dragoons drops vs zerg?

I'm not saying goons have to be dropped, but there are lots of times when there will be goons just shooting at SCV because P army just overran the Terran expo. I am just saying in the instance when Goons meet SCV, not necessarily using goons to harrass

Storms will be more effective if the worker was 40 health rather than 60

Vultures + Mines: Shuttle + Zealot bomb
Tanks: Melee units
SCVs need 60 HP especially since they are stuck working on a building as opposed to Protoss and Zerg who don't need to stick around and be vulnerable.
MMF: Not even going to answer.
Turrets: Already do explosive. Nothing needs to be changed.
Goliaths: Dragoons + Storm
Dropship: Lawl.
Metal upgrades: So? Protoss counters with Storm, Carriers, Stasis. Metal is clunky and slow.
No walls? Every PvT game will end in 2 Gate Goon Range heavy pressure.
Vessels are expensive and easy to kill. To compensate, there is Comsat.
Tech tree: You kill Vessels with Scourge. Problem solved. You kill Metal with Zealots + Dragoons. Mid-tech Terran vs low-tech Protoss. Omg P imba.

You cannot compare units simply by price and firepower. Much of SC's balance comes from timing and the possibility of mapcontrol which is harder for terran because their mobility is lower than that of the other races.
And if you look at the other races you find a number of "imbalances" like dark swarm, cracklings, psystorm...
And you have clear technical mistakes in your comparision. ie in Cannon vs turret you conveniently forgot to mention explosive dmg vs normal dmg.

JESUS.

Last time I checked Terran doesn't have the reaver who can kill up to 12 scvs in ONE SHOT and is about as expensive as a 4 vult drop. Last time I checked, terran doesn't have the darktemplar who's INVISABLE and kills scvs in 2 shots not to mention it fucking tears down turrets in matter of seconds. Last time I checked terran doesn't have storm which rapes your ENTIRE scv-line in seconds if you don't react quick enough. BUT HEY, lets make scv health 40 so that it'll only take 1 storm to blow up 24 scvs in 1 second, lets make 1 scarab blow up 16 scvs instead of blowing up 6 of them and splashing another 10. Let's make shuttle-goon harass efficient, because Protoss are so limited when it comes to harassing a terran.

WHAT THE FUCK

The only reason you guys believe that the game is balanced is because other people have said it. When was the last time you analyzed and compared each similiar unit of each race? I am sure there are probably some Pro gamers who think the game is not balanced, but do not want to speak out because it will attract negative criticism. Especially because this is an old game. Blizzard failed to tune-down Terrans before turning to SC2



And the only reason you think it's unbalanced is because either you lose too much to terrans or you don't play terran at all. From the perspective of gameplay, do you know how hard it is to spread marines against lurkers? to micro your vessels to dodge scourages? to constantly plant mines in TvP? to goliath micro against carriers? to dodge Dark Swarms? It's not a matter of whether the game is balanced or not, it's skills that matters.


Vessels getting scourged should not happen if they are close by your m&m army. Its just Terran player's negligance and mistake if Vessels get scourged. Dodging dark swarms is relatively easy for higher level players, I see them always stimming and pulling back. Constantly planting mines might sound like a "problem" in your persepective but the actual ability to do that in the 1st place is like a reward. Protosses dont have useful powerful mines to plant in the 1st place

Spreading marines against lurkers? Tanks > lurkers, and usually its the Zerg army (lurkers) that comes to your stationary Terran army. When lurkers come, stim and get ready to pull back after few seconds. Rinse and repeat.

rofl, jesus christ.

okay, scv needs 60hp because they have to MAKE the buildings instead of transforming/warping buildings from nothing. if they had 40hp it would be so hilariously imba.

I agree. Make psistorm 1 hit kill everything, not affect your units, and cover the entire map.

Aren't terran's units meant to be more cost effective anyway? It's because it's harder for terran to defend its expansions compared to zerg or protoss. If they weren't than terran would be forced to expo as much as a protoss player, which would just make TvP ridiculous.

edit: I think he really is serious about this...
