I don't know if they're a problem in ZvT, but in PvT, the Marauder certainly is not something that needs a nerf. Seriously you can't see a problem where a single cheap unit counters every single P ground unit either by cost/efficiency or just power? | ||

I really don't like bioball play at all and tanks made the game more awesome for me. Seeing a player positioning his tanks is much more entertaining then seeing a player 1a stimming his opponent, but that's my opinion ofcourse  . | ||

Now lets hope people will stop with the QQ when they get beat by T. Marauders still rape nexus' in like 5 seconds, and tanks werent a problem in PvT anyway(IMO) but the fat that it takes nothing to mass up marines stim a move and win the game People are so stuck on how broken TvZ is they dont even look at TvP | ||

How about Chargezealots and Immortals? Chargezealots beat them and are way more mobile, and Immortals just rape them. And before you get that tech, you'll pretty much always have more shit than the Terran does because Protoss production is more efficient- Warpgates are fucking amazing. | ||

Chargelots are easily kited by stim Marauders, and stim comes much earlier and much cheaper. Just because zealots are listed as the official counter to marauders doesn't necessarily make it so in-game. Zealots are a pathetic counter to marauders, but protoss players go for chargelots simply because everything else dies so much faster to them. Immortals are good, but are too expensive to mass and are easily countered by a few cheap marines. The only true counters to marauders are storms and well microed colossi. | ||

I never heard any toss complaining about tanks. Not a single topplayer was using tanks in his play and after this nerf I wonder who will use them. TvZ is hard for both sides (thanks to the magic box) and this tank nerf will affect the matchup a lot. I wouldn't be suprised if Z>T after the patch.

Seeing a person position his tanks behind a chokepoint and waiting until his opponent mines out and then suicides into an impossible position is entertaining? ... And no, Zerg still won't be even with T but it'll be a lot better at least. | ||

Warp Gates are not being nerfed, Zealot cooldown is. It's different for each unit, yaknow. | ||

Roaches still take as much damage and zerglings/banelings/ultralisks/infestors still get one-shotted and those are the units that usually take tank fire. Please consider that the splash damage is reduced aswell. Instead of killing a swarm of zerglings a tank shot will kill one zergling and put a whole lot of them into the red. | ||

Tanks at 125 gas will be one of the least cost effective hp-wise units that Terran will have. Thors and even banshees are more cost effective tanks, and will do better damage. Marines taking less dmg from tanks doesn't make them tank counter. Tanks were hugely overpowered against marines, and they still are. This will affect something, but not enough for this alone to be reason for tanks being used less. Marauders are the ones who pwn tanks and they still take same dmg. However, at least on euro tanks have been less and less used for months, even pre-retail. MMM is already reality, so it'll probably keep booming. What I find interesting to see is if seeker missile becomes even "imba". If it's found that MMM > tanks and guys manage to get 2 bases, gas could very well be used for 1 or even 2starport raven. PDD is great and seeker is amazing against MMM bunch. | ||

Immortals are good, but are too expensive to mass and are easily countered by a few cheap marines. The only true counters to marauders are storms and well microed colossi. That's so false. If they're getting kited, it's because you just 1a'd into the ball of Marauders instead of manually charging behind or flanking. Sure, it takes skill, but it works. Also, as to the Immortals, that's poor logic. I could argue, in the same vein, that a few Stalkers with a Sentry or two for Guardian Shield deal very well with the Marines that beat the Immortals, but Stalkers are beat somewhat by Marauders, who are beat by the Immortals. It becomes an issue of unit composition then, not of a single unit, and that entire compoisition can also be handled fairly simply. It would be like a Terran in Brood War claiming that Zealots were OP because they beat his Tanks, and if he made Vultures to kill Zealots, then some Dragoons could kill the Vultures. Furthermore, the Immortals don't need to be "cheap enough to mass," because you don't need mass amount of Immortals to beat Marauders. It only takes a moderately sized amount. They're cost effective, and that's what actually matters. zealots are not "cheap enough to mass" compared to Zerglings, but if both players make as many of each as they can, even though there will be considerably fewer Zealots, they'll probably win by a fairly large margin. | ||
