Getting early VRs damages your economy so horribly as Protoss, I really don't think they needed to be changed. A void ray costs as much as 5 marines +150 gas, plus the cost of the stargate. 1 VR has to do some pretty nice micro to deal with 5 marines, and even if you are able to do so, the terran can easily pump another 10 marines while you're dealing with those 5.


That is what people dont seem to realize.... I totally refuse to use VR's at the beginning of the game because killing them is as easy as pumping marines and then your economy as Toss is screwed... the only time I made them is after I was sure the guy was going mass marauders.

Now that they got nerfed, not only it broke the balance on PvP and PvZ, but now it is even more useless to do those units early on because now their range is less than before so microing wont help at all...
I won

And at the same time, you could abuse it's range to infinity with a good cliff and bunkers were absolutly worthless.

Imagine if someone suggested those in here before the actual patch was implemented, that person would have gotten flamed and a ban.

Balancing a game for all skill levels is, to put it shortly, retarded.
How many beginners do you think can counter a 6pool? None.
Clearly Spawning Pool has to cost 300 minerals!

That was the mentality in BW that rose the cost from 150 to 200.....

If the game is going to live as long as BW did, it needs to be balanced at high level of play, as well as close enough at lower levels that it will prevent people from picking 1 race more than the other 2. BW at lower levels is still surprisingly well balanced, which is partially why it's still so popular. People may cry "P imba", but the hundreds of thousands/possibly millions of games on ICCUP showing nearly 50% win rates for each race show otherwise. SC2 deserves no less.

BW wasnt balanced well at all for low level play, what are you talking about? Have you ever tried to play d, d- games on iccup? Protoss is by far the most popular race, simply because so many units and strategies are easy to pull off with little micro, but are hard to stop. It takes a hell of a lot more skill to fend off dts than to make them and a move them.


Most games of BW on ICCUP are at the D+ or lower level..... And, if we look on Python, a pretty standard, overused, noob-friendly map, we see this. 51%, 52, and 48%. That's pretty damned close to 50% for each race. BW is very, very well balanced at the lower levels.....

P may be more popular, but that does not make it the better choice at lower levels.....


You are looking at win rate. If you look at the breakdown of race selection, you have:
Terran: 32%
Zerg: 30%
Protoss: 38%
