If you say that a bio tank army can't fight ultras anymore then you might as well say that bio tank isn't viable anymore. You could use floating barracks and landing them to partially block off Ultras when you are out on the battlefield, but creep spread will usually prevent that on the Zerg half of the map at least. Creep really takes AGES to retreat after you killed the tumor/building that created it and there is no way to speed it up. Kinda "unfair" if you cant really use bunkers while attacking without having to spend a minute or two waiting for the creep to be gone. | ||

Really enjoying it at my level of play. A lot more fun than pure mech. | ||

I play Random HotS and have the following Problem: As (Bio+Tanks) Terran, when my Opponent (Z) goes mass roach with swarm hosts, i seem to not be eable to break him even with a huge eco advantage (pushed my opponent back to 2 bases whereas I had 4) he just sieged and overrun my base. Of course i then went for a baserace but I could never kill off his army  What is supposed to be the counter to it? Or is ther not a simple answer but a complex strategy involved? | ||

You need to post a replay, otherwise people have no idea what went wrong. | ||

Unfortunately I am ashamed to upload the replay I was refering too, cause 1. I made many mistakes since I was unranked I didn't care (my macro wasn't that good, alwhough better then his) and in the End there is a lot of whining and flaming :D So if I upload the vid, I don't need to know my macro, micro was bad (maybe you could tell me how i scout if its infestors or swarm hosts but then there is maybe no possibility before they get scouted in their natural habit. The situation was: Basically it is about a choke point (hope I spelled that correctly)/ramp on Cloud Kingdom between natural and 3rd where he pushed up and I couldn't do anything against it Question is more like: is Marine/Marauder Tank good against this or should i go for lets say banshees If i see it coming Edit: ok I whined about it being unfair (although i know it isn't i just didn't figure out the counter yet, i played about 10 games in HOTS as Terran so I don't know everything yet), I guess whoever is interested in helping me can bear the bit of whining :D where can i upload it? | ||

The + 35 damage to shields given to widow mines will help mech openers a lot against early P all ins however I expected the tank to get a similar buff to this as a lategame upgrage (EMP Shells) as i feel with the addition of vipers/tempests tanks have even more hard counters than they did in WOL. I hope they make more significant changes before release (hydra buff in hp and remove the healing from hellbats) as well as making the widow mine more of a space control unit away from the main army rather than a support unit with a bio/mech ball. | ||

The game should not be rebalanced just so you can use bunkers more offensively. Creep needs to receed slowly to allow time for queens to replant tumors after they have been wiped out. Terran make so many command centres that they can mule and scan all day. If Terran hes the ability to scan and wipe out screen after screen of creep, I dont think its too unfair for them to have to consider doing a second pass of the area shortly after to take out any queens or new tumors moving in. Rofl ... bunkers are more than a defensive structure. Their ability to be deconstructed and rebuilt elsewhere clearly suggests a more "mobile and offensive" role for that. I wasn't suggesting that creep should recede instantly, but they could - maybe - add a creep removing capability to Psi Storm and EMP. That sounds about fair, because there is no way to speed up the removal process while there is to spread it (by planting more tumors close to each other or even dump the stuff from Overlords). The rest of your "argumentation" is pure whining about MULEs (which has nothing to do with the functionality of creep receding or bunkers being built) and so on. | ||

- Hi-Sec Auto Tracking : +1 or +2 range ? Tanks will have a bit more DPS cause they can shoot sooner. - Building Armor : +2 armor ? +hp ? They will survive a bit longer. These are small changes, but I think they're cool and will encourage T to do this upgrades. | ||

unless 1 player wants to wast like their entire ecom to put spores to cover every inch of each of your bases/expos, the buff was useless. I still lose like 1 or 2 to 0 mutas when fighting zerg bases, once the muta flock gets large with upgrades i can 1 shot spores. Only thing the spores did was prevent small 3-5 muta flocks (lol) from doing anything. such a bad patch. | ||

Not to mention hydras are shitty against mutas. | ||

I mean the way you said with spores makes it sound like 3 or so. | ||
