Hey this terran tier 1.5 unit should out range everything comparable, while being faster. Oh and lets just allow it to slow other units too just because and literally melt buildings faster than cracklings in bw. Discounting people who have spent no time randoming, I'd bet everyone in this game is probably better at terran than their main race. | ||

The only danger in marauders is if you let the terran stay cool long enough to mass it with medivacs. And toss has a better econ by far with just chrome boost. Terran has a easier time defending expansion because he doesnt fast expand like zerg, duh. Honestly, terran is not even the easiest to play when compared to toss, this just seems like childish complain because you guys want to play the same way against every race. The game requires you to counter each race with differently play styles, not just different units, you know. | ||

Terran's ability to wall in gives them a huge advantage -- not defensively, but in that it denies scouting. Zerg is completely reactionary and it's a game of Russian Roulette in the early stages of the game (before T2 and an Overseer). If the ramp choke was eliminated, Terran would have to build tighter bases to protect their SCV's and all three races would be on the same equal playing field. At that point we could discuss unit balance objectively. Now, it's silly since Zerg are playing by different rules since they can't deny scouting. lol, have you ever played broodwar? | ||

The issue is that the versatility they have in SC2 defines them as a race and it's WAY too late to change that concept, leaving Blizzard with two options: blindly nerfing units until the crying stops or working on the map pool. All of you SC1 traditionalists can shout all you want, but the status of the game is where it is -- we can't go back to design and mix things up...only deal with what we have. | ||

Not to mention that Zerg can only build structures on creep, so hiding tech is impossible in the early game. | ||

That's all Terran wants to know anyway. Regardless, the point you're missing is that Zerg NEEDS information to play effectively, whereas Terran does not...everything Zerg does is reactionary -- in a ZvT match, Terran is setting the tone of the game (unless Zerg goes one-base Muta, which if scouted and countered is often gg for Zerg). | ||

Sending in two painfully slow overlords to get base coverage is far more costly than a scan (when you count in the positioning time and larvae cost). And even then you're not ensured anything. You should really consider taking a step back from the argument...it's not a conspiracy that these same threads are poping up on every SC2 forum on the internet. There's actually some fire beneath the smoke. | ||
