It's insane that they didn't think of that mode in this patch. What were they thinking. | ||

The tank nerf really will make a BIG difference for how zealots do against tanks. It'll make a reasonable sized difference for hydralisks vs. tanks. And it'll make a small difference for the other light units. | ||

What are Protoss supposed to do to survive the early game now? 2-gate needs to be altered, but not like this. | ||

One or two volleys from marines is one or two volleys from my other units (Mutas/Hydras/Roaches), and that makes all the difference in some engagements. Sure, I'll buy that. But it's a pretty tight window. If you are "going tanks" vs zerg, the +attack upgrades are pretty mandatory since they make such a huge difference. Also, don't most zergs prefer to get +attack before carapace? | ||

Timings: Pylon - 25, Gateway - 65, Zealot - 38 (19 Chrono), Pool - 65, Zergling(s) - 24 Assumptions: - Zerg is going 6/7 pool - Protoss scouts / guesses this is coming 8 pylon - Protoss Chronos the Zealot Discussion Quite simply it takes 89 seconds from the start of the Pool for the Zerg to have Zerglings built and heading to the Ps base. Assuming an 8 rather than a 9 pylon, the Protoss will take 109 seconds after the start of the first Pylon to get one Zealot out. With a 6/7 pool it essentially goes down at the same time as the Pylon - if not earlier, the pool will also be fully complete by the time the gate finishes. The math does not lie there will be a full TWENTY SECOND window possible in Z v P where it is literally impossible for the Protoss to have a Zealot - (and that is only assuming the P goes the fastest possible Zealot build). I fear for this match-up on short-rush distance maps. | ||

They seemed pretty ineffective against Zerg, from my experience, at least. I feel the same way. I've held off in-base proxy 2 gate with 15pool and thought "Wow that was easy. Proxy gates are horrible in this game." I dunno maybe my opponents messed up somehow in those games. Then again, maybe it's harder to hold for Terran. | ||

On August 28 2010 02:42 rastaban wrote: Wow, the change to tanks really makes banelings so much better against the Tank, Marine combo. Rastaban, are you serious? Side note: Can someone explain to me how the Tank vs Zerg dynamic has changed... I mean I'm looking at what a tank basically did before compared to after the nerf. Obliterating that front line of zerg. Well the front line is mainly Sppedlings and roaches. So the facts are : Lings have 35 HP: Roaches have 125: Armored Tank dmg output before: 50 Tank dmg outpute after: 35, +15 to armor So aren't they still going to basically one shot the lings and then do the same damage to the roaches. Maybe the reduction in normal damage will allow a couple lings to get through, but I'm seeing a stim MMM ball mowing down the leftovers extremely quick and the tanks 2nd shot still hitting the roaches. If not the second maybe their 2.5 or 3rd shot. Can someone explain... Oh and Protoss the lings are starting to look like the new reapers to your probes... good luck Thanks | ||

1) tech lab time increased to equal reactor 2) BC build time increased to 110 3) Bunker build time increased by 10 seconds OR salvage returns 75% resources from 100% These arnt hate-on Terran nerfs for I am but a mere unbiased random player, I just think it would be better balanced  | ||

Relevant quote. I see it very few times in my games but apparently it drives check crazy. | ||

These balance changes are laughable and it only shows that Blizzard have dug themselves in quite a hole since nerfing them too much would upset the largest part of their player base as they would all lose quite a lot of rating. So instead, they will progressively nerf Terran instead of giving them one huge nerf, even though they are very aware of exactly how strong they are. | ||

Although the Zealot build time nerf seems to hurt more than reaper/bunker build time nerfs, hopefully it's for the best and leads to slightly less shenanigans in PvP in addition to the proxy 2gate target. | ||

LOL Sorry, but no offense, looks like idra is one of the best players in the community as well. The other 2 top zerg players in the world, one's going to switch terran and one went random and still is insanely good. He's hardly the whiniest player, just the one who's whines get's the most attention since its arguable that he's the best zerg in the world and is having problems. | ||
