EPTOh and if they're referring to the one league where zerg actually has a slight win % (silver) - I don't think those players have the attention required to pull off mass reapers.

Hellions are anti-light units that splash, why should they counter an armored tank-like unit. Should an armored unit not do well against a unit designed to counter light units? Hellions DON'T counter roaches even with the range advantage. They do so little damage to roaches. BUt the ability to kite roaches enables a good player who can multi task and micro to still be able to use hellions against roaches. It awards skill, and allows for more variety in the game. Roaches will still win against Hellions easily, but hellions can at least play a role against small numbers of roaches.

It just makes it so that zealots aren't completely useless early game. An early push with a few maurauders or marines is so strong early game against protoss. I'm a terran player in diamond btw, so I'm not being biased, just saying what I think about the matchup. I do agree that protoss is strong against terran in late game, but I'm just talking about early game. Terran is too strong early game and protosss is strong late game. | ||

Or maybe because Protoss macro is easier to master? nah those units arent the problem, its colussus high templar and the warpgate sick army replenish speed. | ||

Such change where the game has less BO can't be for the better. They should have balanced in other way. | ||

Fungal should have ALWAYS prevented blink.. the fact it doesn't is a bug. Range increase on roaches is fair but it better be +1 and not something stupid like +2-3 | ||

Okay, let's call the build strong. What's the problem? They didn't nerf Marines, Vikings, Anti-Air Turrets. They didn't buff Void Rays, or creation times. If you can defend a Proxy Void Ray at the moment you'll be able to do it after the patch. If there is a more subtle problem, I cannot see it- please tell me I should note that I DONT agree with the original post that suggested void rays should require a fleet beacon - I simply disagreed with the guy who suggested you have to be bad to find void rays difficult. I should have been more clear, my comments were completely unrelated to the patch, as it has not chanaged anything in this regard. | ||

Only reason marauders actually do good vs stalkers at low numbers and pre-stim is that the stalkers cant run away and heal. Marauders are good against Stalkers because they're cost effective against them. They cost less, have less build time and survive in a 1on1 fight. | ||

It's funny that nearly every league has a Z>T statistic and every league except Diamnond has P>T. Terran under powered  I really hope they don't nerf Protoss due to these numbers, but who knows. | ||

NONE OF YOUR CORE UNITS HAVE BEEN TOUCHED after the first 5 mins it's pretty much gonna be the same, mass roaches never worked vs terran and it still won't. How often do you go rax before depot? 1 games in 10? How many terran cheeses require a rax before depot? I can think of 2 off the top of my head. How many different cheeses can a terran do? Probably more than 10. Yeah the reaper change is pretty stupid as it pretty much removes it from the game, but after 1.1 reapers weren't used that often anyway. This is stupid game design from blizzard, but it doesn't affect terran play. | ||

I love how Blizz says they aren't going to overreact and then do so. It's going to be a merry-go-round of imba. Just hot swap to best race. GG. | ||

Cranberries do you actually know anything or are you just trying to argue for the sake of trolling? You don't need a 2nd pylon to defend a 6pool, you just go gateway pylon and chrono'd zealot, or when you scout the 6 pool since you should be sending a pylon scout on close map positions against a zerg, then you throw down another gateway and 2 gate with a zealot at the open point of the choke. | ||

Well, I am Zerg and obviously RoachRange INCREASE is a big deal very nice and will help Zerg immensly in the early game against harrass Increasing the health might help a bit, but nerfing Marauderdmg against armored or the removing "armored"-from techstructures would be a smoover solution, helping ALL races against Marauder drops. Fungal works against blink is great too, didnt make sense in the first place. Also mass Stalkers with blink will have a more solid counter now. Good work there. Barracks need Supply depots: I think it wont touch ZvT much, but I dont now the exact Terran timings, (mb 6pool stronger, Reaper even later?). This will help Toss sooo much against this pretty quick marauder I guess. Reaper Speed, will never be seen anymore, as well as many reapers: I dont like the change. Blizzard keeps changing the reapers efficiency from 0 to 100 every 2nd patch. At least reverting the 5 second nerf might be okay, especially with better roaches to defend. | ||

Midgame reapers are kinda obsolete as by then you have dropships that are way more survivable, and dont take up 40 seconds or whatever of your barracks production time. Reapers need some kind of midgame upgrade other than speed (lol, get a starport after factory or get speed reapers - HARD CHOICE, NOT) to be interesting. You cant say it was fair for hellions to counter every single zerg unit before air or fungal growth. Nothing could reach them. You will still be able to harass mineral lines with them, but now you cant kill every single unit aswell. | ||

Zerg units are already really boring - we don't need more hydralisk copies. | ||
