Before it got those buffs, it wasn't a valid unit. After those buffs it's still niche but actually a valid unit. If you want those buffs reverted you're just admitting that you think it shouldn't be a useful unit for Terran, and that logic to me disqualifies you from talking about game design. I would be happy if BC was a joke unit if this is the alternative. | ||

This is an atrociously bad strawman take. But I really would rather BCs not be in the meta at all, than be in it by virtue of blinking into main bases before Zerg can finish a spire. | ||

Heavy Robotics play is basically the Protoss equivalent of Terran Mech. | ||

It's still a bad design choice though. WIth a good end, so what? Still it's a bad thing, same with BL/SH. They're hated not because they're directly OP but because they're bad design | ||

If Zerg and Protoss have all of these band aid answers to making their race work in Starcraft 2, why can't Terran? If you want to start making arguments based on "well I think that's bad design" two things, first that's a subjective argument and second, that's a rabbit hole that doesn't have an end. So what difference does it make? | ||

So what difference does it make? DUDE. Do you read my posts? I'm all for removing ALL OF THE BAD CHOICES. It was like 2 posts over yours original... wtf?  C'mon, I am advocating for a queen change for years now. | ||
