do you truly think the game has gotten worse after every patch? if so then i ignore what i say, but hear me out if not. blizzard obviously knows what they are doing because everything still seems to work out just fine at the end of a patch. i know everyone wants to blame all of their problems inadequacies on blizzard. and you're just stupid to ask if they play their own game....everyone who just bashes blizzard has not added a single thing to these forums.

don't try and talk common sense to these kids. the sc2 forums on tl.net are slowly going the way of the bnet forums. i guess you could say these forums are therapeutic and let the masses get all their anger out on something they haven't even tested yet. another reason why quantity of posts < quailty of the poster.

edit: patcher is downloading now ^^

Can a protoss brotha' get some air unit love? It's like blizzard is saying "you're gonna use the void rays, and you're gonna like 'em!". If you compare the lineup of brood war toss air (corsair, scout, carrier, arbiter) to the sc2 lineup (pheonix, void ray, carrier, mothership) you realize that every race got sweet air units, and toss got worse! The corsair did splash damage. SPLASH DAMAGE! That was huge, because it actually hard countered things. Now, the phonix can pick up units.... wow.... The scout was useless, and it was replaced with the void ray, which is probably the best trade, but if you go void rays you have to commit so much to get their numbers to effective levels. The carrier has the potential of being as good as the old one, but only when the metagame changes. And the mothership is like the arbiter's retarded brother who drools and masturbates in public. It's like the arbiter, but you only get one, it's super slow, and you have to trade stasis for a much less tactical vortex spell. Air is now LESS fun to play as protoss, while the rest of the game is much more fun. fail.
The banshee and the viking are freakin sweet, and trading the wraith and valkarie for those units is a huge boost. Terran has so much to work with from their starports, because even if they don't go air, they can pump medivacs and gain drop and heal abilities for their current army. And they also get good counters to air (marine stim, thor, cheap turrets), while toss is left with using blink to counter air, or building expensive cannons that can go down in packs when their pylon is targeted. I dunno, it just seems like protoss got easier to macro in sc2, and payed for it by losing a lot of strong abilities (like templar tech, arbiters, mobility, and corsair splash).

edit: i forgot to mention all the air stuff that has been taken away from toss before the beta. They lost the attacking ability for the mothership, the defensive ability for the mother ship, the overload ability, the tempest, and escorts for carriers.

The staff here at teamliquid need to find a way to control and channel this massive wave of noobs .. like forcefield on zerglings. Because this problem of mass noob group think flooding the forums is only going to get worse once the game is released. I guarantee this will be one of the most popular websites for what will be a giant game. So yeah, forum segregation with read only rights to most users.
