(Vote): Yes

Nobody describes marines, with medivacs, liberators and widowmines and sometimes a few tanks as mass marines. Why should it be different for reapers?

Because marine is a "core" unit
Reaper is not
Besides, the evolve of 3 rax reaper into techs is relative recent. For a long time it is just reapers

Was it the reapers or was it 2 widow mine drops killing 14 drones every time?

because making 15 to 20 reapers before any other unit is massing reapers, probably


Yes but you can open CC first with 3 gasless rax and produce 15-20 marines before any other tech is out. I agree that he is massing reapers at the beginning but I wouldn't describe his army composition as mass reapers (unless it was pretty much just reapers and medivacs)

One unit ruining the best match-up..

So true, it went from beeing my favorite to least favorite

PvT is the best matchup at present, but even that has issues. As to reapers they cant nerf it because of one player who is exceptional at early

By your logic, there was nothing wrong with mass adepts, either. I guess we should unnerf adepts.

Nobody ever asked for reapers to have grenades in the first place

Did anyone ask for giving infestors burrow fungal? Or tankivacs?

They removed tankivacs a year after LotV came out. Meanwhile reaper grenades are just getting toned down a bit.

I wasn't arguing that Blizzard shouldn't nerf reapers. I was just taking exception to your description of ByuN's army composition.

The most striking thing about the reaper grenade is really that they missed their original design goal - to give reapers more strength in the mid- and late game instead of having it just be used in the early game or for cheese - by a hundred miles but refused to go back to the drawing board.

They should give reapers stim and remove grenade then.

The reaper has many abilities other races must have researched first. All in the very early game. I don't even care if they nerf reapers into the grounds, but watching this mass reaper style every game is very boring to watch. Obviously it's not Byun's fault that the game design team made many bad choices, if we were in his place we would also use all tools at our disposal. In the end they all want to win games and earn money.
Why so serious?

They should unnerf Tempest back to 22 range.

While they are at it, the Colossus and adepts also need 22 range.
