So, Dark Archons, Devourer are used more frequentely? Valks are also a rare sight, still more used than those other 3. Reapers still can be used to cheese or economy backstabs, and that should be their sole purpose. | ||

I mean, it makes perfect sense! are you guys really argumenting that turrets are too weak? i mean... wow... even on the bnet forums people wouldnt say such things. just noticed the wording on the blizz blog "Here are a few of the changes we currently have planned" so 1.2 wont be as dissappointing as 1.1 just having the few changes that were prev anounced? | ||

This just seems strangely inflated, but I didn't know zerg was that bad. Yay for beating reapers into the ground. Rejoice, everyone! I think it's a little awkward for factory requirement. I would prefer Engineering Bay mechanically. Roach range seriously?! That's absurd. Honestly, I like roaches already! This dramatically changes zerg early game. Randoms have the element of surprise and random players are not as proficient(usually) as a dedicated race player. That's a pretty good incentive to not count them in. | ||

Before you could do double rax on 9 and keep econ and military pumping non stop easily. give this man a medal because he seems to be one of the only ones who's not just going "oh well now X is just fucking impossible. nope no way now barracks rushes are completely impossible, everyone will 14 hatch/14 nexus w/o any concern, i know everything there is to know about this game, im not actually going to try to overcome patch changes with testing/trying stuff out, but instead im just going to bitch on a forum" i've never yet been more annoyed with SC2 tl forum posters yet than i have after reading this thread | ||

There are 3 possible outcomes when you select random. If it truly is random, the ratio you see amongst race distribution will be unchanged. The random outcome is simply being factored in these statistics. | ||

But my point was that terran can still do early aggressive or proxy openings, they just get delayed by 100 minerals. What? You do realize that "requires supply depot" means that the depot has to be FINISHED, right? So yes, they do need to wait out the depot's 30 second build time if they want to proxy. So the "first barracks takes 30s more to build" analogy is accurate. | ||

He has to use PDD or the Raven gets sniped. Then retreat to your structures. He can't engage because the PDD isn't in range. | ||

God forbid cheese actually is a risky and non-standard maneuver. | ||

I somehow have the feeling that the balance between roach and hydra is a little bit strange. Why not make them both more specialized (vs light and armor)? | ||

It lowers the number of terran openings, but didn't they already have the most openings to choose from? | ||

I really think they could have kept reapers as they were now and keep roach buff and it would all be ok. Reapers are useless now? Also supply depot change is weird? Is this changes to help the bronze leaguers that loose over and over to 3-4 reapers in their mineral line? | ||

Is it just me or is this a knee-jerk reaction? It seems really retarded to change the way Terran works just because they're too stubborn to admit that reapers are a broken unit (after this no-one is going to make them anyways). All builds people have practiced with Barracks first are now out the window, I really think it's a stupid decision on Blizzard's side .... just awful. | ||

Still, it's not like terran cheese or aggression has been completely killed. They're just in a similar situation zerg was in previously, where they're going to have to figure some new stuff out. | ||

It lowers the number of terran openings, but didn't they already have the most openings to choose from? Well at least in SCBW it was the fact that Zealots are in small numbers and early in the game absurdly powerful. As in, it's impossible to beat Zealots with workers without taking insane casualties whereas you can surround a marine pretty well. something like proxy 6-gate would be broken beyond measure. Then again I really think people are overreacting, T can still cheese. The cheese just becomes more allin now because you have to cut significant amount of workers in order to get a fast supply depot for the barracks. I don't know how that is a fast thing? An allin that actually is an allin, something bizarre? | ||
