Now obviously SC2 is nowhere near that case but it's still important for Blizzard to make sure that all races can be used effectively at all skill levels. then they should have taken that into consideration when picking a race some players want a race which is difficult with a high ceiling of potential others want a race with more emphasis on strategy and less on mechanics this argument still is not making sense to me its hard enough to fully balance the game at the highest level how the hell (and why the hell) are they going to take every skill level into consideration and i still dont understand how a game would be more balanced at the highest of levels and not at lower skill levels most high gold-low platinum don't really even know standard build orders/strategies/counters why the hell are we even going to consider their win% to balance the game? | ||

I guess the real question is who is the best terran currently? Hannibal? And I think everyone arguing that current tourney results show that T is not the best race are missing Tester's point. He says Terran is the best when played by a good player. CauthonLuck, DeMusliM, Jinro may be all top foreign players, but I don't think they're good by Tester's standards. His example was when SC1 pro-gamers play Terran in SC2, which basically means flawless mechanics and micro. | ||

AND if he could change anything about the game he would make DT and HT come out of the same building. Big surprise. Shoot... why not throw the Robotics Support Bay, HT and DT all in one! That would really rule! Great questions Artosis. In fact, some of the best questions I think could have possibly been asked. Really good job. | ||

I think air is better vs P as of now, banshees + vikings... or I also used this thor + marines + ghost rush that worked fairly well against virtually any P opening, I haven't tried it since thor tweak though, and immortals always had to 4 shot to kill tanks cuz tank has 1 armor... I think? xD | ||

His example was when SC1 pro-gamers play Terran in SC2, which basically means flawless mechanics and micro. This point can't be emphasized enough. Tester said nothing about Terran being generally better than Protoss or Zerg. For all we know, he may think they're weak at lower levels of play (though to be honest, he could probably care less). His specific point was that once they get in the hands of an extremely good player, meaning SC1 progamer caliber, they will be extremely powerful. By extension, it seems to me that you really can't sum up the Terran's strength in a single unit like the Marauder or the Ghost. Because any bronze league player can take advantage of a shallow advantage like that. | ||

I guess I should find some TvZ replays as I have no idea how to play it. TvP I wanted to experiment with ghost mech anyways so seems like its a good choice. edit: Hey artosis if you are looking at the thread, any way to sum up what makes T so full of potential? | ||
