From a viewer perspective, I do find Terrans annoying with their 'gimmicks' - reaper bombs, liberators, tankevacs, and even widow mines. They probably look cool to most people, though. I just find it too punishing and painful to watch.

You prefer hots ZvP to lotv ZvP?

A lot more. I loved the swarmhost era. Still really sad there are no mods or anything to play even in a custom game with the old swarmhost.

agree. I think 1 hour mech vs swarmhost games were the most fun I've ever had with sc2. such an intense positional battle.

YOU TOO NOW? man when did all these swarmhost lovers appear, i really shouldve just quit this game back when all the other likeminded people(like idra, rest in peace) left

I would say ZvP is 100000 times better then hots and wol ZvP. I would even say PvT is better as well. ZvT has gone down, not as fun to watch or play (still not as bad as it could be... Wish muta/ling/bane was used more).

ZvZ doesn't seem that different and I can't comment on TvT or PvP :p.

TvT was at its peak in WoL. Been downhill ever since imo


are you okay :x

agreed, TvT was never good

You kidding me? Wol tvt was like the second best mu in the history of sc2 lol

I agree with this. TvT probably had the highest highs, but the average game wasn't that interesting. During GOMTvT you had awesome positional games from time to time, but most of the time it was just two siege lines facing off while vikings tried to get air control.

A lot more. I loved the swarmhost era. Still really sad there are no mods or anything to play even in a custom game with the old swarmhost.

I also loved that era, SH's made for really exciting games in ZvP, but Blizzard decided to remove an unit because of a couple European Zergs playing a particular style

rip

but yeah, I think LotV ZvP is still better, it's really good with how the mid game plays out

SH nerf was necessary because it delayed tournaments too much.

yep, better break a balanced game

Ok because everybody comments on it:

Better than hots: PvP (mostly because colossi suck), PvT and PvZ
About the same: ZvZ
Worse: TvT and TvZ (these two got a lot worse though)

I definitely agree. Speedvacs and banshee change made it worse at Hots. Tankivacs killed it.

I agree with this about TvT. WoL > HotS >>> LotV (tankivacs suck)

No, I am not joking about my love of old swarmhosts. Seriously, if there are any mods you guys know of that recreate old swarmhost I would love to know about it.

I think HotS TvP is the best version of TvP, but I think all 3 variants of TvP have their own problems.

TvZ was best in 2011, i liked HotS TvZ too, I hate LotV TvZ

I feel pretty much the same way

actually for TvP i think I would take the 4m style over the current one for the best games

Hm maybe TvP is about the same when i think about it. Not entirely sure, maybe it's because i am a Zest fan

I mean there were definitely games that had swarmhosts that were interesting. it was dependent on how the player used them. I can't think of good ZvZs with them though. those were just hilariously awful

Medevac is just lame, if not imba.

Is it even possible to play Terran mid-game without medevacs? It complements both bio and mech play too well.

I mean it could be just my salty ass about switch to lotv complaining. I still think hots was the superior game.

I would say ZvP is 100000 times better then hots and wol ZvP. I would even say PvT is better as well. ZvT has gone down, not as fun to watch or play (still not as bad as it could be... Wish muta/ling/bane was used more).

really? I hated nothing more than HotS TvP. either it was scv pull or maru style mass drops playing cat and mouse with their army. the only time it was good was bio vs chargelot archon ht.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment
