I'd like them to rework it so that the liberator has more of a support role for ground (AA is fine). Maybe a single target stun in area instead of dealing damage? I'm also fine with the model. Better than the cyclone at least, looks like a crossover between a scout and a valkyrie :D And I agree that the huge ranges need to stop. | ||

Just imagine that when you are stuck with 7rax 1fac 1starport and your opponent Zerg goes Ultra switch WTF are u gonna do? Build fac from scratch? that ain't gonna work. Terran is commited to 1 tech tree, 1 TECH TREE ONLY there ain't no way in hell you can transition outta that. That's why there are multiple units with the same purpose, so stop complaining. | ||

Pure bias. First, Terran is not even forced to commit to 1 tech tree. Common TvZ/P matches are Bio into some Mech support. Mech works very well in TvT and TvZ. BioTank is the rule in TvT and involves both Bio and Mech. GumiHo and some Proleague players are even trying approaches to BioMech in TvP. Styles are playable, strong and viable. There is no 1 tech tree committement, specially with new units being designed to be played with Bio. Maybe you are not having a good prespective. Most Terrans say that Terran only has 2 styles: Bio and Mech. Which is false. The only thing you've correctly pointed out is that transitioning out of that is a pain. Most of the strong units you would use in a Mech compo are very limited in production, tied to tech lab and with long build times, compared to the productive strength of Reactored buildings. The fact that production strength is lower and tech switches harder doesn't even mean, not at all, that Terran needs 75DPS 15 range air unit. Because do you know what happens when you have OP units? Deathballs. Maybe we have to rethink the macromechanics for Terran and review the productive strength for Factory/Rax. Or nerf ultras. Not to have a unit that has a mechanic which is 70% Tempest 30% siege tank and has 8 times the power of a Tempest. By the way, Bio is probably the most cost-efficient composition in-game at and quite broken. Consider tech, and structural cost. Don't claim "we need OP units" simply because you can't have anticipation on tech switches or the productive strenght is restricted, which is a deep problem of Terran Mech. Adding more asimetry doesn't help anything and doesn't solve the problem that in fact, you can't have a good production, resulting in inviability of styles and difficulties to combine Bio and Mech. And by the way, Mech is crushing Zerg cost-wise, Bio crushes Zerg cost-wise but it's fairly balanced. | ||

I love it when people discredit other opinions because of supposed bias and then make their own statements which are equally biased. | ||

Name any non-splash composition that is better than bio, or more efficient supply and cost-wise, at the same tech level and structural cost. | ||

Change up some old units, give some TLC to neglected units, take the opportunity to fine-tune staple units, etc. They took a big first step with the economy change and the rush of changes in the beta debut, but they seemed to have shrunk back significantly since.

The thing is, even with like 5 Nerfs that it should get, upping the supply and cost, reducing damage for AtG, reducing movement speed and maybe health, it is still stupidly designed unit. People complain about these long ranged units that are almost risk-free, like Swarm Hosts and Tempests, and then they add something like this to Terran as well. Got to feel a bit sorry for whoever at Blizzard is doing community management.  | ||

Well first you name any unit starting with the letter Z which has more DPS than a zergling!!!1! /s Bio is not 'broken' just because it happens to be the most powerful composition in the mid game at a specific tech level. | ||

I would say 99% of all posts on TL are biased. There are only a few people who make academic research on specific areas of SC2. Even those might be biased unless the authors are not playing SC2 or play random. | ||

Don't forget hatchs need queens. A standard Zerg macro vs zerg is 4 expansions + 1 macro hatch, and the queen. So 5 queens (same price than 5 rax), and 1 macro hatch (same than 2 rax), so same price than 7 rax, + 10 supply + injecting 5 times each 40s. Also hatchs way weaker (no repair/no shield regeneration) than other expansion while in fact not really cost effective : 50 for sacrified drone, + the lost of mining time, and add the lower supply from a hatchery, so you have to count the cost of supply. | ||

Well second thought as long as the super OP parasitic bomb still exists I don't see any air compostion would be viable lol. Not just Terran, Protoss and Zerg as well just can't commit to air cuz one parasitic bomb and it's GG. | ||

I have once or twice heard about his thing called micro where you don´t stack all of your units and you might get punished if you fail at it. If parasitic bomb is OP i´m sure it will be nerfed to a more reasonable state. | ||

It's like being hit with storm on your mutas, except the storm follows your units and the spell itself tracks to your unit, ensuring it hits. And unlike storm, it stacks, and is casted by another flier, so they can easily manuever to you. | ||
