There were 5 Colossi against a Planetary Fortress and 10-12 Barracks units, and it couldn't be broken. It's just ridiculous and it really does just ruin a flow of a game. "Ruined" maybe if your idea of a good game is "200/200 meet middle" Colossi got cliff walk, go up into the main maybe? | ||

He can't expand, he can't split up his army at all, and he's completely inflexible. Just get chargelots and tech to storm, and then you can rape all the MMM and the tanks. Problem solved. But he refuses, sticks with phoenixes to defend his colossi and gets run over because he cant figure out how to split his army into, gasp, two control groups. Also makes only one observer so he can't even spot drops. GG. So far your like the biggest anti Kiwikaki person I have seen so far lol you just hate his guts don't you? Well played by fenix watching his games today just jaw dropping at his multi tasking abilities, triple drop + attack/defend just insane. | ||

Besides, Infantry upgrades don't improve the upgrades on a Planetary Fortress. It's just sick how good they are. You'd need around 10~ Cannons to have the same lifespan of a Planetary Fortress, which would cost 1500 minerals compared to the 150/150 of the Planetary Fortress. They're just a boring thing and totally destroy any game flow. Back and forth games are fun, that game was going to be back and forth - and then the Planetary Fortress went up and that was game over. If you can't attack an expansion, that's ridiculous. | ||

All you have to do, is sit collosus on the PF and all of your money goes into repairing it, basically all of it. It's not imbalanced at all, since you're spending every last mineral with all your SCV's at that base repairing it, you're basically just saying, oh, this was your third base? Not for now it isn't, it's more a hinderence. | ||

Without talking about balance, planetary fortresses just make the game slow to a crawl. Terran makes tiny drops that kill one or two critical buildings over and over while just sitting in one position with no risk of counterattack. Going to bring in a HoN analogy here, so bear with me. In HoN Deadwood was rarely seen in competitive play, but his initiation ability was still changed because he had what the developers called a no-risk initiation, and was changed to create risk when deadwood initiated. It wasn't about being OP or UP, it was about risk in the game. I think the same thing can be applied to PF camping. The terran faces no risk while still being able to do drops. Perhaps if the developers added some sort of risk/reward factor to a PF OTHER than oh you lose a mule, we would see more exciting gameplay. (Note, not saying PFs are OP or UP or anything in between, just boring) GGs from both sides, kiwi got caught out of position a few times, and was outmaneuvered elsewhere. | ||

Well, Fenix was like 3 mining bases ahead of Kiwi so he could have afforded it fine. 1.5 basing Toss with no upgrades loses to 4 basing terran with 3/1, obvious imbalance. | ||
