Marauder Nerf Cost: 100 minerals, 35 gas Hit Points: 110 The marauder gas cost increased from 25 to 35, while reducing the hit points from 125 to 110. Siege Tank Buff Cost: 150 minerals, 100 gas Hit Points: 180 The siege tank gas cost decreased from 125 to 100, while increasing the hit points from 150 to 180. My goal was trying to make siege tanks have a more dominant role within the terran army instead of just massing marauders. Your thoughts | ||

Dude this thread is gonna get closed- you dont give any reason for wanting to promote tanks over marauders, and there is no indication to me that either unit is so overused / underused that they need these changes. Personally i rarely use marauders in mass(playing T only), and i use siege tanks in about 50% of my games. Edit: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=119457 read em. | ||

But I'm pretty sure TL frowns on balance posts since they seem a little pointless on this forum and would belong better on blizzard's. If you think tanks don't have a place it seems like you've never taken on an army of hydralisks or another M&M ball. | ||

The only real upside to the Terran players who do this is you can spire tech nicely, but the time it takes to get that far you can't just be undefended until the spire pops. | ||

But alas I am not a top level player and have no replays to prove my crazy theory so I will just end it here. I think 3 food for Siege Tanks is more balanced..even though I would want a buff for Tanks haha. Just look at the other units in the game that have 2 food: Hydralisks, Maurauders, Stalkers. Siege Tanks can kill a bunch of them. | ||

Against Terran or zerg you get a critical mass of tanks and it just decimates any ground they throw at you. They blow vs Toss without some sort of heavy ghost support, and thats just too much gas IMO. Marine/tank/viking in TvT works pretty damn well (tanks kill everything on the ground, marines/vikings to keep marauders/banshees at bay. If they have tanks you can land your vikings next to them pretty effectively) Blizzard has said multiple times they want the tank to be more of a support unit, and not a unit you mass. That's why they are more expensive, more food, and more powerful than their brood war counterparts (siege mode is 13 range, does 60 damage against EVERYTHING, and the regular mode does 25 vs armor at high DPS). If you ever catch your opponents army in a choke with 4-5 tanks, their entire army evaporates. Its insane. Especially with shift queue micro allowing perfect tank shots and damage spread. | ||

I hate the marauder from a design perspective, but don't think they are unbalanced. They are just boring units that don't really fit with terran. P.S. All unit costs and mana costs in this game will be in increments of 25. This means there will never be something that costs 35 gas, ever. | ||

Decrease Basedamage of Rauders by 2 and increase Bonus against Armored by 2. Makes Rines more usefull. Tanks are fine. | ||

It really has nothing to do with the marauder. I beg to differ. It has everything to do with the marauder... | ||

This forum should not look like the blizzard bnet forum. And to keep this from seeming trollish: Marauders should get an armor reduction to 0. That's all I'd want to see. | ||

Dude: Noone wants terran to be able to mass tanks- its too annoying to play around  Noone wants terrans to be able to mass marauders, its too boring to play around ;( Noone wants this thread to continue- since these are arbitrary balance changes with no thought or reaserch put into them at all. Forum rules CLEARLY state this thread should have been closed hours ago instead of encouraging a pointless discussion that will ultimatly have no effect ever on starcraft 2, ever. Players use both marauders and tanks in cheesy, and non cheesey manners. Nerfing one unit to make it uncheezable while making the other not better at all (who would even knowtice the hp buff on tanks, really?). PS: Its a friday, and this thread is actually making me angry. Why? IDK... but I seethe with fury at it's existance. Ragepost out. | ||
