The Tanks never got lifted off, they were just positioned well and all of the micromanagement came from the Bio. And it was exciting. Tankivacs aren't needed in this game, they only serve to excuse the stupidity that are Ravagers current power level. Eliminate Tankivacs and you HAVE to tone back Ravagers. If you tone back Ravagers you HAVE to tone back Liberators. The LoTV units are too strong for all 3 races right now, but they all serve to balance each other out. Nerfing one forces you to rebalance the others. When the dust clears, the game will be better off. | ||

Without tankivacs Marinelord needs more time to push -> violet has ultralisk armor -> gg | ||

Marine/Tank is obsolete once plated ultras are out and if MLord allowed Violet to get a few plated ultras out he didn't have the infrastructure ready to handle it. There were like 3 ultras and his response was you need to kill 2 bases to even stand a chance. That's slightly over the top | ||

The situation wasn't quite as dire as Nate was making it out to be but MLord had no idea if Violet had 300 gas or 2k gas in the bank. But its also Nate's job to try and create some excitement and tension. | ||

Ravagers are just as stupid as Tankivacs are right now, but Tankivacs are more urgently in need of a nerf because of the mess they have made of TvT. The only reason Terran NEEDS Tankivacs in TvZ is because of Ravagers. If Tankivacs get removed Ravagers are eventually going to HAVE to be nerfed. Tankivacs aren't the only problem I have with LoTV right now, they are just the first of the dominoes that have to fall in my opinion. | ||

But Violet probably had an attack in mind with chitinous and no festors. It would be gg but then all those drones died and MLorD moved out. | ||

That's kind of like my expirience of zvp You can play late game but it's so much easier to just kill them off with drop bullshit | ||

It would have been hype if it had been "violet is almost out of gas, he needs to get these three ultras out and get the plating on them before the Terran wins! Can marinelord break him?!" | ||

If Ravagers are nerfed due to what they do in ZvP it probably means either Tankivacs or Liberators need to be nerfed to compensate. | ||
