I guess this discussion is not about current state of the ongoing balancing-process, jsut about the design from the ground up with the new mechanics, Units etc. At least that's my interpretation... my point is that nomatter how u spin it zerg has the worst production values in the game. this has to do ith the fact that zerg needs a huge blob of units for them to work. | ||

The 'swarm' feel of Zerg is even better in Sc2, but as the race stands now they're rather boring to play and lack variety. Terran are just as good as ever; more refined, if you will. | ||

Usually it's just mass roach, passive-macro style which is severely broken enjoyability-wise. I think zerg has the potential to be the most compelling race if they change the zerg race to one that has to keep up with the enemy by mass expanding and powerful harass, while having weaker troops and needing to get powerful late-game units to fight. Unfortunately ultralisks and infestors are dull and weak units. The infestor's only point is to use fungal growth for banelings to catch their target, but otherwise the spell has no synergy with the zerg's speedy rangy army. Maybe the current balance already supports this, but people just haven't figured it out yet. | ||

The Protoss race feels so well put together. However, I do think Terran has the most potential right now, they have a lot of spellcasters and their upper tier still has a lot of potential. I think the zerg have a weird combination of new age swarm style and almost protoss like tank and damage units like the hydra and the roach. | ||

Zerg is close to being good, but the roach (as has been said countless times) either needs a redesign or we need a brand new unit, hopefully something really fast, difficult to use well, but effective if utilized correctly. Its really just that zerg is lacking diversity because of this one unit blizzard have tried to force on the community without compromise. | ||

At first, Terran seems close to Protoss. With more thought, they seem much further away. | ||

Terran are also quite fun to play, while their opening builds are all nearly identical, with the exception of a few high risk-high reward builds, their mid-game can be quite unpredictable. I think their ability to rapidly respond to their opponent in the mid game is their greatest strength. Zerg still feel "new." While I really enjoy playing as the Zerg, it does seem that there are relatively few viable builds (Muta-ling or Roach/Hydra are the most popular) and I think a lot of this stems from the other races' ability to counter weaker units. The Zerg definitely have the nice swarmy feel that they should have but I think a lot of it has been lost in the fact that units like a Hellion can slaughter a "swarm" like there wasn't even anything there to begin with. | ||

They've taken the concept and ideas Metzen originally envisioned and captured it perfectly in Sc2. Warpgates, Mothership, Colossus, and a lot of the animations for the race all contribute to this. The 'swarm' feel of Zerg is even better in Sc2, but as the race stands now they're rather boring to play and lack variety. Terran are just as good as ever; more refined, if you will. Yup, exactly. As a Terran player, protoss was still extremely fun and intuitive to play. Everything just feels right, this is not in terms of balance, just by overall "feel". It was *fun*. | ||

As i do care for gameplay balance, im not too crazy about winning with a balanced race as i see it even more fulfilling when I win at a disadvantage (2base Z v 3 base P). So with that said, when I analyze my deep hate for the new Z(playing T in sc2 now) it realy comes down to the sound creativity and a couple unit animations, otherwise i am completely comfortable playing Z aside from being forced to use silly roaches. Fart noises, weak, silly looking hydra attacks, SPAWN INFESTED TERRAN? | ||
