All this seems to have addressed is the rauder v zealot rush. You didn't expect Terrans to stop massing marauder did you? Really it just addressed the free advantage terran got early game which is what it is supposed to do. | ||

Mutas got nerfed via thor splash / build time, and stalker buffs. Roaches and Hydras just got shit on as well. Zerg armies literally just melt now. I play random at a ~20 platinum level, but now I just pick terran or protoss cause zerg just has no midgame options. | ||

All this seems to have addressed is the rauder v zealot rush. Bingo. And when was a zeal rush that early effective against T without a proxy? It really isnt. Rauders are just as potent as they were afte the first few mins of the game that we cannot really exploit. Thor's fast build time coupled with this has completely shut down our late game aswell. We now have a small window while the T starts spending real money on thors to exploit with a well-timed immo/zeal/sentry push. I suppose that's better than being on the ropes the whole game like last patch, but it's still the terran's game to win or lose. | ||

Honestly you want to NOT change the Marauder because you can't fast exe anymore? You are NOT complaining about surviving at all, just about FE and you are saying I am kidding and not knowing the game? Maybe there are ways of managing a FE without concussion shots? Ever tried bunkers and Marines in them? That should get rid of Zealots well enough and free up early gas for the upgrade. You do NOT need Stim Pack for defense, you need it for offense!

Luckily those buildings didnt run away due to concussive shells. Killing armies doesnt matter, killing buildings (and workers) does. On April 08 2010 14:40 Yai wrote:psi gg? What are you talking about? Psi Storm? Psi energy? Psionic units like Archons? Dude, if you want to criticize me at least write clearly.

I said that a Marauder with 100 hp would still be good enough. A change from 125 to 100 is NOT reducing their hp by half, but it would set the Siege Tank apart from the Infantry a little more.

I have to fully agree with both of you! You are building an army of Marines and Marauders. Now you simply build Marines first while saving up gas for the upgrade and then start spamming Marauders. It is not a nerf, it is only a delay and you arent defenseless at the time. | ||

Marauders are still way out of balance. The slow effect being delayed a few mins and costing 100/100 is grossly underestimating their effectiveness on the part of the devs. The concussion change on marauders coupled with the build time buff on thors is making terran stronger than ever. I have no idea what they were thinking. | ||

Mid/late game, the problem is the marauder having similar HP to a siege tank, while doing ridiculous DPS to buildings. Marauder HP needs to go down and siege tank gas cost should go down to compensate. After that, just need to give zerg and the mothership a little love on next patch and I think we are pretty close to game balance. | ||

Although I agree that Marauder wasn't nerfed at all. It just slightly slows massing them for like 30 seconds, that's all. Seven maybe 8 with this one, its arguable that the void ray change was a nerf, since its more expensive and less durable in exchange for being better vs light units, which means now its terrible vs them instead of being absolutely useless.

They cant see you moving at them unless they have a raven, and with mech being sooo gas intensive that seems unlikely | ||

"OmFG marines do dmg to my Roaches now wTf imba." You still have banelings... "Thor splash dmg!!!!!" I still remember how to micro vs corsair, I imagine its not terribly different. "Hydra HP NERF omg they're so useless now." They still do a shit ton of dmg and they're still behind a wall of lings/roaches, or are you just trying to mass 1 unit and expect to win? Seems like zerg players are mad they have to get good at the game now that its becoming balanced. | ||

Marauder HP needs to go down and siege tank gas cost should go down. Many mid/late game battles in SC2 happen "out in the field" and one side loses. If the Terrans lose it doesnt matter, but if the non-Marauder-force loses it often does not make sense for them to run away, because concussive shot (and relatively fast Marauder movement) means that they will lose extra units and can not run away. Often enough a lone surviving Immortal tries to limp back to its home base, but it gets picked off by the Terrans due to the slowing effect. The importance of this effect does not end with early game, although it shines there most. I fully agree with the hp nerf and reducing the cost for Tanks would make them more desirable. | ||

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. If you dont want marauders to work vs immortal, then only mass marine would counter them. Protoss would add one collossus and terran would have to go Air vs toss every game. Yeah that would make everything alot better....? | ||

Zerg is broke. Kerrigan is doing Terran's dishes while being pimp-slapped by Zeratul at the same time. | ||
