Just another reason TLO is awesome.

Rather he can beat T mech or not (I believe he could), he's the only person actually going about this in the right manner. Nobody on this game has done sufficient testing to determine if T Mech is overpowered or not.

I sat down with some decent players last night and played 10-15 Mech vs Zerg games and found some solid counters. Not that it matters anymore.

Complaining is never the "correct" response (though it's certainly logical). Either try to find a way to beat it, or play more games such that it impacts the matchup statistics (either as Terran owning Zergs, or as Zerg getting roflstomped by Terran). Blizzard is going to respond more to statistical reflections of imbalance than people whining about it on the forums.

That's not true at all. Blizzard has time and time again been responding to specific criticisms made on forums. Statistics have little to do with their decisions.


and you know this because you have been inside the room when blizzard makes thier balence choices, clearly if something is imba people are going to complain and the stats will also show it. There is no way for you or anyone who isn't part of the conversation on game balence to know how they are deciding to make changes

"shitstorm"? I am confused as I have heard that term in so many posts of late, is this community about BW/SC2 or scat?

Regardless of the outcome of said games, <3 <3 <3 TLO.

TLO is fundamentally smart and understands principles and potential in concepts, whereas Artosis is an amazing Brood War player that learned the established 'rules' of the game from pros and then did what they did.

I believe TLO, and wish Blizzard wasn't so rash in their patches.

TLO is just SC2 for Boxer

I really do think that Blizzard should have given this a little more time. Regardless of whether or not this was really imbalanced, waiting another week or so wouldn't hurt anything; now, we won't ever know if they made the right decision.

SC2 TvZ mech is very similar to BW TvZ mech...I think a lot of players were just 1a2a3a into the mech ball and then acting shocked when their army melted. Instead of revisiting their tactical play they focused on unit composition. These players will still have trouble with mech even with the siege tank nerf.

And clearly the situation reports read "we heard players whining about this, so we nerfed it."

Of course they will. The tank nerf will have very little effect on tvz.
That wasn't any act of God. That was an act of pure human fuckery.

TLO is completely wrong. pre-this-patch (havent tried this patch yet), properly played mech is completely unbeatable by zerg. if he's been winning vs it, he's been playing people who have no idea how to mech.

The response "it's too early to tell" can be said about EVERY single nerf or change blizzard has done so far. While it may be right to say that, with that logic you should have been complaining about patches and changes long ago...and on that note, when is the proper time to change, nerf, or buff something?

To be honest, I really just wanted to see the showmatches in the situation it was presented in (i.e. no new patch) :D

calling something completely unbeatable after like max 2 weeks of testing is plain stupid. sorry but i just dont agree with people jumping the "OMG IMBA" gun when people havent even tried to adapt yet.

and just calling a unbiased player wrong cause he speaks against the "OMG OP OPOP " train doesnt help either.

i love what you do for the community but really your balance comments always look abit whiney :/

im simply stating the truth here. idra and i looked into it completely. i did nothing but play vs mech for 2 weeks. i spoke with every top zerg player on the subject. we tested every combo and timing. i am not whining, i know it will be patched, im simply stating the findings of the best players, something else that you should love.
