Also, I haven't seen a single 5 barracks reaper or even 3 barracks reaper since the 5s reaper nerf. 5 rax reaper not roaches. | ||

Proxy gate + probe harass on your scv which is building that damn supply is gonna be really annoying to deal with. Not impossible , just annoying. This change mostly prohibit terran to build depot at a choke. I guess we'll have to proxy our 1st depot then. That's ridiculous. You can deal with the probe easily and depots take almost no time to build. Unless the probe gets there before you even start it you could just ignore him and the depot would be ready before the SCV dies. | ||

I really like the changes on the roach, but I still think that the Overlord need base speed increased =/ I actually like their design. They punish immobile armies, and serve as a great unit. Even the delay while jumping up and down cliffs seems well thought out. I just think they deal too much damage. | ||

A good terran will switch out SCVs without losing any build time, or quite simply make a SCV chase the drone. Sure you lose a little mining time, but its not delaying the rax and probably won't delay your first marine either. | ||

"It prohobits building my supply depo at the ramp cause he can harass my worker" So he couldn't before when you built your rax at your ramp? Come on. "I cant block proxy gates, 6 pool etc." Ridiculous, everyone who posts such shit should get instantly banned. While i agree, supply before rax would cut off some openings, chesse etc., it won't affect the game to such an impact like people in the quotes state. Please think twice before whining such bullshit, it's absolutely disgusting to read. | ||

Zerg vs terran was actually balanced b4 the reaper nerf... except zerg players afk blogged Blizzard after every loss. With this next nerf I'm probably switching to protoss. Terran is becoming UP. Well if they become "UP" like in BW before Boxer I'll be happy. 1)People will stop the QQ 2)When I rape with Terran I wont have some idiot breathing OP OP down my back 3) Less Terran Players p.s.I play terran | ||

If blizz starts to balance the shit around team games there is seriously something going wrong internally for them. | ||

And combined with drone harass, a later rax could be quite effective. Six pools don't work against 10 depot 12 rax. The only time I lost to one was the first game I played on Xel'naga, I misplaced my barracks because it looked tight (but wasn't). Your scout will get to his base and see the pool in time on every single map. Just immediately close the wall and have 2 SCVs ready to repair while your rax finishes and the rine will kill him easily. (I like using the scouting SCV to build a proxy rax close to his base during this) | ||

If they're worried about 2's balance, Supply before Rax is going to kill T there. I expect to see a ton more double Z teams. | ||

That is the entire point, Reaper shouldn't even be in the game at all, though Terran can still build one for scouting purposes, that is assuming they even need to scout. | ||

I don't know how I feel about making a barracks require a depot, though. Sure, it will pretty much prevent 8rax, but that pretty much removes the Terran's ability for early game cheese, while both Protoss and Zerg still have their cheese. Exactly! This is my only complaint with it. EDIT: The rax change that is. | ||
