Now it is not so easy rofl. And yes, as FA said, even though immortals are of course strong vs mech, no good player just goes only mech, they ghostmech, but siege tanks for 3 supply and 125 gas? Lol? Blizzard purposely did that because they did not want the tank to be such a central unit like it was in SC1. which is mind boggling, as right now the marauder has pretty much taken that role. What do people really expect Terrans to make in TvP? Name some viable options other than the marauder. I doubt many P here can name any, because there are very few that are standard/viable in the match-up. Patch 8, you had to get a lot of marauders early game to survive all of these protoss immortal/warpgate all-ins. Even a 4warpgate sentry all-in with speedlots was stronger than marauders. The concussive change was good, but tanks are still 25 gas and 1 supply too expensive. oh, and wow, now you guys can't do similar all ins vs Zerg in PvZ. lol. edit: and btw, stalkers with blink are extremely sexy and mobile omg. I lost to a guy yesterday who went straight stalker blink on kulas and abused being mobile between all 3 starting mineral bases  some people in the beta have trouble realizing that this is a beta, and if something is too powerful and the end-all be all, it is going to be nerfed. Marauder's were nerfed, roaches were nerfed, and now immortals have been nerfed, because all of them were too powerful. You can still use them, it is just not as easy is the key thing. | ||

There's a reason top Zerg players haven been making spine crawlers to defend Protoss pushes. HINT: It's not because Zergs prefer static defenses to a mobile army (and no, uproot doesn't count). | ||

I don't understand that, but I am looking forward to seeing these new maps. I don't know about anyone else but this patch is taking forever to download. @seedfreedom I couldn't agree with you more. I strictly played Protoss in BW, but they are almost impossible to succeed with at least against a marauder/roach rush. We already have it... | ||

T needs to get cloak once P gets high templars, or obs+ht will just kill your ghosts nonstop - which is absolutely fine btw, I don't mind getting cloak. Also, I think you are exaggerating a bit how easy it is to micro T armies - running a move into colossi and storm isn't good :p Spreading marauders, casting EMP and focus firing vikings is a decent bit of work. the problem with this early game is most of the time p has to robo/obs, obviously there isnt much of a concern lategame but dealing with marine marauder ghost/emp rushs early game is a pain | ||

To be honest, its a lot more work to Feedback Ghosts, Banshees, Medivacs and Thors, cast Psi Storms, put up Guardian Shields, cast Force Fields and focus fire down the Vikings and Banshees with Stalkers. Forget about getting Immortals to shoot Marauders and Collossi to shoot Marines. Getting all of that setup before stimmed Marauders rape everything you have is a frigging nightmare. If you dance your armies in front of one another, its incredibly painful to keep your units out of harm's way and Feedback if his Ghosts start running up ahead. I always hit this mental roadblock of too much multi-tasking, spaz out and stare helplessly as my army gets rocked. | ||

Funnily enough I think fast siege mode is really really good vs the warp-gate allin stuff, the only problem is that about half the map have backdoors or really badly placed expansions. | ||

Because Terrans have won the most tournaments to date. Because notorious Protoss players have had NO presence at all in the past weeks. How long till you realize that you don't even play at a level that warrants you bitching about balance? | ||
