just mass thor wins due to supply efficiency
So do mass tanks at 200/200 not that it matters
30 full upgrade hellbats can kill 1k lings with a move clearly hellbat is imbalanced and should be removed right?

people need to take this attitude towards all of the balance whine, just fucking play the game if you enjoy it and stop if it's making you grind your teeth


Some balance whine is justified. I think adepts were hella gross, and I think BL-infestor was hella gross, but this is not either of those things. I'm entirely sure terrans will find an answer to it, so just let the game evolve naturally, guys. It's not like ultras being strong are costing us awesome games, judging from this goddamn series!

i heard the exact same things being said about BL/infestor and adepts. just let the game evolve...

The most funny thing about the whole whine is, that TvZ or PvT looks balanced based on numbers. And everybody is insanely about both MU. But PvZ numbers are fucked up and "nobody" cares.

Sure, I can see how people are concerned about balance, hell no, they are not when they ignore this pit of despair by "lets give player some time to discover PvZ". Why this attitude cannot work for adepts or ultras is way beyond me...

Because it affects terran
I don't think adepts could be figured out tho there are only so many factors in the early game

Isn't BW balanced by maps and the game is rather imbalanced?

I hate this "find a way around it" logic. Let me make a counterexample, where we assume Mauraders get +50 damage during the beta.

And now the game is released and Mauruaders dominate everything, and I respond by "let's wait to we see Zergs and protosses find a way to beat it. Oh and btw, I am not gonna give you any exact deadline for zergs and protosses, your just gonna have to suffer like until I change my mind."

No stupid shit is stupid shit. Ultralisks are an unfun a-move unit that never should have received better battle stats, but instead should have been slightly faster off-creep (does anyone enjoy being kited forever?)

And it's not about win/rate in the matchup. If zerg wants other compensation buffs that's fine, but Ultralisks with their +2 armor is not the way to "balance" a matchup.

We can also look at this logically. Ghosts is the only real counter to Ultralisks. However, with Fungal growth the skillcap is on the Zerg side since the projectile speed is fast enough. If anything, I believe Zergs will be better at winning late game regardless of how good the terran ghost control is.

I mean I thought ByuN was the new Terran god in LotV along with TYgod

Well ByuN said he thinks TY is the best player in the world right now. Which means ByuN can logically not be our Terran god.

I guess we can take this as a lesson that there's too many whine bitches so you should make an effort not to be tough bitches rather than whiny.

maps are part of the game and balance. SC2 is also only balanced by maps, try to play the game when you don't have a single ramp entrance or your starting position is not next to resources.

The problem is, adepts literally made opening as T impossibly narrow and limited the game.

A lategame issue can always be beaten if previous stuff has gone well, and there's more time to try develop a counter in the game.


Another point to made is that BL-infestor actively won games no matter how behind the zerg was, while ultras only work as a 'free win' (read: if the zerg plays well, and if the terran's options are either not taken/don't quite work) if the zerg is ahead.

I think deacon frost meant the game was balanced through balancing the maps, not so much by balancing the units
