They should give reapers stim and remove grenade then.


And permanent cloak


They should unnerf Tempest back to 22 range.

While they are at it, they should give the Colossus and adepts 22 range as well.


Liberators should be able to move faster than oracles while in seige mode and shoot and move, it's common sense

As long as all zerg units have 8 armors, including drones.

You guys really find reapers more abusive than say, the proxy photon overcharge rush?

I just don't get the hate on reapers, if you could just a move and cheese with em, it would make sense to me.

If you nerf the reaper, whats the point of the unit anymore? Seriously, it kills nothing but lingsand drones. If this were a TvT complaint it would make much more sense to me.

I couldn't stand invulnerable nydus all ins when they were all the rage..... you would see guys like TY cheeesed out by it all the time....

I think you guys should admit you just don't like BYUN, lol which is fine.... My thing is the players should be able to stop this.

You know people KEEP saying it's not BYUN reapers that are OP. They banned me cause I made a lot of post illustrating how sOO destroyed Marus reapers in GSL. But here he struggles vs Byuns reapers, but people still wanna make it about the REAPER, AND not BYUN

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

As to reapers they cant nerf it because of one player who is exceptional at early
game micro imho

Yeah this Byunuthermalmarugumihokelazhur guy is just a better player than the other terrans.

You don't see Innova doing it, do you nerf mech cause gumiho is a God with it? In fact, is it mech good, or is it just Gumiho Is a god with it? I watched Ryung crush Penguin with it twice, then somehow STILLNOT make it ti IEM.

People were crying about GSL vs the World, and gumiho gets knocked out by the Chinese zerg. Where was the unbeatable mech there? Yall still crying over Bullsshit man.....

Blizzard "missing their original design goal and refusing to go back to the drawing board"? Haha. Hahahaha. No. That's never happened. Not once in the history of StarCraft 2 has that been the case. :D

But don't worry, at this rate we'll be getting yet another "rework" in about 18 months' time that will yet again ignore community suggestions in favour of some bizarre off-handed bandaid that still doesn't fix the fundamental problems.

+ Show Spoiler [Disclaimer] +
By the way, I'm personally not that salty about Reapers as others are (though I obviously understand why they feel that way), it's just that I strongly agree with Elentos' post and this is easily one of SC2's biggest problems over the last 7 years, if not more if we're considering WoL's development as well.

We can criticize the Chinese IEM for some mistakes, but one thing they are doing well - the VODs from today are already availble at youtube. Such speed!!!

Please don't forget the imba carriers, the imba teleporting battlecruisers, and the imba ravens with their seeker missiles.

Yeah that's why Warhounds and HERCs are still in the game, right?

Well yeah they removed the most catastrophic ones, but all the insidious problems have remained. Good job cherry picking two of the very few examples of them scrapping ideas that would very clearly have crippled the game.

I mean I could literally just say "brood lord infestor for almost an entire year" and just win the argument, but there are way way more that may be slightly less obvious.
