Normally low tech units should be the meat of the army and the high tech units should provide cost efficiancy (this is how Zerg and Protoss work btw.). But Terran in that regard is a design blunder, because the high tech units are not cost efficiant at all against Zerg and Protoss (with the exception of ghosts against Protoss - and they are not even that high tech), even more they are pretty much useless. So we end up having those (too) strong low tier units with their massive single target dmg. No sane person would advice blizzard to buff bio. I would love to see a small stimpack nerf in favor of making all the other units viable. look at that list of useless units: Hellbats - TvT only Siege Tanks - very rarely used in TvZ, pretty much TvT only Banshee - TvT only Raven - TvT only Battle Cruiser - TvT only The only Zerg AND Protoss unit I can think of being only used in mirrors or not at all is the Carrier (and this only stayed in the game, because of the fluff) The only deviation we see in terran play takes place in the first minutes of the game. once we reach midgame it allways ends up the exact same unit compositions, in both non mirror matchups. And this is not a balance issue, but a big design flaw. Marine, marauder, medivac, widow mine and marine, marauder, medivac, viking, ghost are actually quite different and you play them completely different against Z and P. I don't understand why people think the focus on the game should be on high tech units. It's not actually difficult to make a brood lord or a colossus and you can't micro them that much either. I would rather see a player win because they can split marines and drop in 10 locations rather than just because they can make brood lords or high templar. And that's why I prefer terran. Obviously I'm exaggerating but when people complain about not auto-winning just for making high-tech units it baffles me. | ||

Terran : WM : used only to defend some cheese and to go for drops with a very random effectiveness Hellbat : not used anymore speedmedivac : the only good improvement for terran in TvP. Force protossmidgame to be more defensive than wol upgraded reaper : very good scout necessary to scout properly the various allin/pressure of protoss that came out from the exact same opening , useless after 8 minute in game. Protoss : Mothership core make you virtually untouchable before 10 minutes. Ultra fast tech/ fast expand /fast upgrade. Oracle : new pressure early game -> force terran to scout or play safe. Can scout entire army mid/late game Phenix : made viable because of powerful oracle opening + MSC super defense. Cheap DT : better allin and improved harass late game faster WP : drop on terran base unpunished because of speed > viking speed. In wol times it was common knowledge that deathball protoss> terran bio in late game. So now with the early/mid game shifted in protoss favor principally because of MSC and a multitude of new allins, you basically go to the point terrans have to SCV pull to win in the small midgame timingwindow to hope 'crossfinger' win with this fight. Revert hellbat nerf is obviously not a solution but thinking about a smarter transition for bio hellbat is the only option right now to rebalance the matchup, buffing every other 'bio' unit will make ZvT completely imbalance | ||

Look at Bomber's timings, look at Taeja vs protoss. Obviously Terran requires more micro and apm but that's nothing new. Toss have their own deficiencies. And don't think its a design flaw that the longer games go, the higher the win rate for Toss. They are supposed to be the highest "tech" race. Toss early game is ok with Mothercore defense but there's the huge period between early game and late late game that's anyone's chance to win. Its virtually impossible to balance early, mid and late. There's always some timings when one race is much more effective. Admittedly psy storm is really killer vs MMM but that's why Khydarian amulet was removed. I hate playing Tosses that go templar heavy cause if they space them out and come into engagements from every direction, you're going to miss one or two and one well-placed storm is all you need to lose the game, but Supernova didn't dictate the game. Even when he was ahead, he made errors that gave up the advantage. | ||

Really? when both have the huge banks and multiple bases, i thought its more Toss favored? They can do that warp prism 10-12 zealot warp in harass and keep on using templars to prevent a full head to head engagement and just wear down the terran since eventually something will crack at base defense. | ||

debatable but who cares? Just play the game and let Blizzard deal with the patching. Besides, having some OP units can make for an exciting game  | ||

The MSC always let's the toss to get AoE so early that the templar count will always be above the gjhost count. problem is you need marines+medivacs+ micro to beat a-move chargelots. | ||
