Yeah, Protoss early game defense needs to be weakened (without negatively affecting PvP).

User was warned for this post Care to share the reason of that warning 0.0? Lack of game knowledge. On TL.net you get banned/warned for telling the truth. I suspect that the mod didn't find him well articulated enough though. So ... double bad. Well I was told the first part was ok but the 2nd part got too balance whiney. Yeah, I get that the look down on balance whine in general, but is that an especially honorable stance to hold in these times? When the state of the game is this bad? As a mod you can always call "balance whine", but that is kind of a broad statement. This particular "whine" happened in a LR thread and came from a viewer ( you ) who had a less than enjoyable experience watching proleague. A balanced game goes hand in hand with a game that is enjoyable to watch for spectators. In the greater picture I think we should demand no less than to have both, which we don't right now. And as long as we don't have it people will complain. This is not a bad thing. Just don't be so quick in dismissing it as balance whine. People will complain about EVERYTHING...especially nitpicky SC2 viewers. Oh yeah. People are really nitpicking about the current state of TvP right now.
Carriers are a bit annoying, but just throw goliaths at them until they die. The early game is a bit fragile as well, but be fast on repairing the bunker until the tank pops. All in all, a quite exciting matchup!
edit: whoops this was a SC2 thread

That's easy!
Screw the "racedefining" mechanic that is Warpgate and thus introduce defenders advantage in PvP and give room for MSC nerfs. Also, away with vision and movement speed :D
EDIT: To elaborate; keep warpgate, but make warpgates "worse (build time, no shields + energy on warpin, +25/25 cost) than regular gates.

That's the whole problem.
You CAN'T nerf the Mothership Core without affecting PvP. the ONLY and I mean it, the ONLY reason it's as powerful as it is in the first place is because of PvP.
It's a stupid cycle that all comes back to Warp Gate. Warp Gate is the big over-arching problem that Blizzard doesn't want to address and band aid fixes like the Mothership Core are their attempts at trying to balance around Warp Gate.

people get banned too for complaining about bl/festor back in late wol when it was the truth, just saying.
anyway parting did not put a foot wrong in any of his matches so he deserve credit.

Please keep this to mod threads! The Starbow team will probably love your input.

All they have to do is:
-Reduce vision range (11) while diverting back PO to 60sec.
-Make time warp and recall an upgrade at the core (or recall only for the mothership)
-Get rid of the AtG attack.
This means, it becomes primarily a defensive unit (which was its original purpose) that needs to be invested if one decides to support attack troops with it. It also doesn't force the Terran to get marines early game if one happens to just fly over.. It still does what it does except with more investment i.e. more risk.
But whatever it is... I really want to see more TvZ and TvT or upcoming Terran players. They are going extinct I tell you!

There are a lot of complaints about balance or game design in this thread, which didn't get a warning. I for one am pretty tired of those as well, LR threads are not the place for balance discussion and considering the game is in one of the best balanced states in it's whole history, but it just shows there's a level of complaint that's acceptable. Stating there's a problem with balance in a constructive manner won't get you warned, but "hurr durr protoss ez" will. And that's the way it's always been on TL, even during BL/Infestor times.

I think that the question "My T struggles a lot against this P style. What can I do to counter it?" is a legit and necessary one, albeit perhaps not in a LR thread.
It's the "T struggle => The game is dying and Blizzard is stupid" style of reasoning that is really hurting our threads, and the border between them is very thin.

as long as MSC will be able to stop single handedly every early aggression of the T, this wont help at all. the DPS of the MSC and the PO must be reduced, at least by half. if it will ruin PvP, give it bonus dmg to shield units.

TL's position on the matter is reasonable. Always act like you think the game is balanced in LR threads (because balance talk doesn't yield anything in there), at the cost of sometimes sounding ridiculous and dishonest.
Then you can "whine", as it's called nowadays, on the dedicated thread: The Mad Marine Fanclub (not the Designated Balanced thread ;D).
I didn't always agree with that position, but heh, TL's not a democracy, so you gotta get in line or get out. Personally I think balance talks are fine, especially in that state of metagame, but player bashing never is however. You can't blame the players for trying their hardest to win.

Good job Parting, great games.

Though they were on youtube less than half an hour after you posted this  .
Anyway, to throw more fuel on the fire, watch Maru's production tab after the tech labs finish. His macro was very sloppy. He probably could have held it pretty easily if not for an idle rax and a giant supply cap.
