They slowed them down for the first 2-3 minutes they're out the gate, but you can still mass rax/rauders by the mid game. All this seems to have addressed is the rauder v zealot rush. | ||

Tank cost exactly the same it takes only 5 less second to build.. thor less time to build + splash = great vs muta so there u go. hellions have always been pretty nice. tanks got reduce produce time which means more tanks out in less time obviously there's never really been a cost issue with the tanks so just the fact that you can get more makes it stronger. 1 sieged tank means nothing. 4 sieged tanks are kinda scary. also with the roach nerf and hydra nerf, it just seems a good time. specially with the 100/100 maurauder slow research | ||

I think marauders need more nerf, this "upgrade" bullshit isnt enough. Its just like 1 less marauder in their army, thats it. Marauders need a serious stat reduction. So do thors, esp how they get cheaper and faster to get with each patch. Its clear Blizzard loves terran. CowGoMoo is a employee, any coincidence? Try throw in a warp prism and pick up your hurt immortals. Also marauder isnt a counter to immortals, they are pretty balanced against eachother, specially after patch where you wont get slow and stim as fast. Sigh when I read your last sentence I wonder why I even bother to reply. Obviously you are clueless. | ||

Obviously you are clueless. how would warp prisms help at all? you might get to reuse them later but you really cant afford to have some immortals not in a fight shooting. doesnt even help them live longer since a good player will just 1-shot them the minute you drop it. I can see this working with colossi and their longer range, but unless you are extremely good at being able to pick up units before the shot reaches them and after its fired, i see no point. I find it slightly irking that 12 marauders can win vs 3-4 immortals since they then 2-shot the unit that "counters" them. | ||

What does keep Tanks from being good is that they cost 3 food and that they are only marginally tougher than a Marauder. I dont think the tank needs to be tougher, I think the Marauder needs to be softer. Turning the concussion part of the Marauders attack into an upgrade wont help with the imbalance, because the Terrans will just get that anyway and games in later stages will look the same as they do now. Marauders need to lose a lot of their hit points to make them less IMBA. Even at 100 hp they would have double the hp of a Marine and for the cost it would be good enough to get them anyway and fulfill the role as meatshields. | ||

Cost does include Minerals, Gas AND Food. A changed build time can be easily adapted by a one-time-investment into another factory. Build time changes for these expensive units only really matter for rush tactics!

Zerg would have to get some serious love on the next patch to compensate, that or nerf marauders again. I'm thinking adrenaline glands would need a buff to give zerg a late game option vs mass tank (cracklings were a decent counter to tanks in sc1, now they don't get the same DPS boost for adrenaline glands anymore). Also wouldn't mind seeing either ultralisks starting with 2 armor or a movement speed boost or upgrade for hydralisks (HP nerf on hydras is so harsh, at least make them super agile warriors like the once were!). | ||
