EPTIt's a good read. I'm happy to know his thoughts about balancing the game, actually I can't say I disagree with anything he said about their methods.
Hopefully all the races would be equally represented in tournaments.

He then goes on to say that they are thinking about nerfing High Templar. And since Terran has been "nerfed so much", they want to be very careful in nerfing them in the future. Does that apply to Protoss as well, seeing as how Protoss has been nerfed in every single patch since Beta started? read again ... he DID not say that | ||

"In PvT however, top-tier terrans have a 6% win rate advantage over protoss. We generally don't see a difference within 5% as a balance issue, but 6% is a little bit outside that range." "Q. Are there any plans to buff terran in the next patch? A. We are looking at PvT and High Templar's Psionic Storm. It's only been a week after patch, so we are still analyzing how it is affecting gameplay." "However, we've nerfed terran so much that if we do end up nerfing terran, we will do so very carefully. We are trying to avoid nerfing terran if we can." So which part did he actually not say? Seems to me like I'm not the one who needs to read it again. | ||

"or making the AI target repairing scvs with priority in order to kill them more easily" diminishing the Thor's size is just a buff to its mobility/controlability, for the cost of maybe 2 scvs less to repair it with auto-repair. | ||

So hard to cast EMP when the HT are behind ur forces or good speread of units (1500+ D T here) oh yeah cloack you say? P always have obs flying over the map.. so tough. but not imposibble.  | ||

"Why does protoss get instant storm when its already so cost effective"? Because fucking christ man, EVERY other unit in PvT is cost INNEFECTIVE. (plz don't say well he had 14 colo's, or 10 carriers) to rebuttle. thats just stupid. you also have a counter in the ghost. Learn to use it. "ghosts are op" No. They are not. They are a damn good unit, by you do have to pay a heft price for them. And the A-move kiting is mandatorty mid/late game. Ghosts don't A-move kite with the rest of the army. Yes. That is an indeed very big thing. Toss players can sac in a solo HT and feedback a couple of ghosts just as easily T can send ghosts can cloak and emp. without energy Ghosts have an auto attack and nice range, Ht's go archon. 2 different units. Deal with it. "but toss can warp" Yes, and Terrans get mules. Its the fucking mechanics of the race. Imagine if toss had to produce like terrans did? It would be absolute face rape all over the place. And the fact that Blizzard is looking into nerfing storm....Saddins me. PvT Will become Marauder+vike/ Stalker/colo. And we all know how lame ass that matchup will be. If the nerf hammer does come down on storm, early bio will have to be nerfed in some way, Otherwise toss will never be able to catch up. My 2 cents from a T and P player. (in with both cases, Z will be extreamly op....) | ||

Zerg units are weak there for they are suppose to be macro-based as said in the open panel at blizzcon. Protoss has more expensive units and unit composition is key to protoss early game 1 or 2 more zealots or stalker depending on situation can sometimes spell doom for Protoss. Protoss also usually when committing to a given tech path usually has to expo early-mid just to switch to another tech path. Terran is suppose to be the adaptable race. So with protoss having such expensive units they should have powerful late game units. I think terrans refuse to go anything other than MMM because thats what they see most of the time in tournaments and such. Even with storm they toss army is immoble compared to Terrans and you arent getting Storm on 1 base. You have to expand which can sometimes be hard to do as you start spreading your army thin thats when drops come into play. As Gretorp said on SoTG many of the Terran openings he doesn't like because they are gimmicky and he prefers a more Macro based style. So he has been going 2 rax FE. While he didn't agree with the way they nerfed terran he is excited about the possiblilties for more solid builds that are more macro based. Thats what I think terrans need to see MMM is like toss 4 gate its the bread and butter build that they can always fall back on in most cases. Zerg has mutaling as there bread and butter. These builds will never die out never go anywhere unless blizzard makes a drastic change to all races. Terrans need someone to come with a very nice innovative build just as zerg had Fruitdealer and idrA. Toss needs the samething more innovative build biggest innovator right now I would say is kiwikaki. For terran I dont who is really innovative outside of TLO who is now zerg. I think that when the game first came out and everyone was upset at the strength of MMM most people focused on beating it people still hate facing MMM most races have figured how to deal with it. I mean zergs mutaling baneling isn't even Tier 3 and really handles MMM well. I don't see why Terrans can't go mech+ghosts or anything +ghosts its just 1 extra building and a tech lab which is pretty standard anyway. | ||
