EPTI could see the depot before rax if you left nitro alone or vice versa. That would at least enable Reapers to be somewhat useful early game. As it is now though they're completely worthless.

Sure, they do less damage at charge level 2... but aren't they doing the same amount when fully charged (level 3)? The speed upgrade I can understand, but why are people acting like voidrays are getting an enormous nerf here? BTW 7 rax reaper simply needed to go. It was uncounterable at all but the very highest levels and is just an example of bad gameplay. | ||

Test #2: Roaches now can now hit cannons behind gateway blocks. If the cannon is place one spot back the roach can hit the gateway with out being in range of the cannon. | ||

Yeah, I know on some level it's right, but it feels like they're stuffing everything in boxes which is horrible for creativity.............. terran just got 10 times more boring and lost some of it's racial identity -.- 10 times more boring, yet still 100 times more dynamic than either Protoss or Zerg. Try playing zerg if you want to see boring. | ||

In order to scout a 6 pool before building a depot you have to scout with one of your initial 6 scvs. The rax will be in construction before the lings arrive, and the wall-in should be complete, plus with depots now having more life, you have more time to repair them. 6 pool is such a non-issue, its complete suicide vs any competent terran player. What league are you in? If any T player thinks 6pooling is hard to beat, try Protoss. We have to leave a hole in the wall so that we can get our shit out, our first unit is melee, and we can't repair our buildings. (Not saying it's impossible, just saying that T has absolutely no friggin reason to be bitching about getting ling cheesed.) | ||

I did have options available how ever i felt an expansion would have been a mistake. I just wiped out all of his gate units. and was on 3 raxes at that time with stim and combat shield. Teching would take awhile and given my opponent ample time to produce a large amount of gateways giving the expansion. My option was to take advantage of the fact his expansion had just finished and that he just lost his gate units and was only on 3 production facilities. Do you understand my logic now? I can understand your point of view. But are my options really limited to teching-expanding? and god forbid i played someone good who would abuse the charge and constantly harass me with pylon charge up while i did this. Also. I suppose i underestimated a unit that is excellent at harass is also more then excellent at defense. Seriously this is the equivelent of a toss going 4 gate and not pushing or teching until 5 production cycles of banshees and then coming to the forums to complain about it. I have lost games like this but I completely understand i lost them due to my mistakes and i don't complain about the imbalance of them. | ||

They had such difficult to overcome weaknesses against very basic and common units, Marines Hydras and Stalkers. Marines and Hydras in numbers at like 1/4 or 1/3 the cost of the Void Rays could fend off Void Rays but that wasn't enough? Vikings totally owned Void Rays before they got speed upgrade and now they own them even when the Void Rays get speed upgrade. Stalkers can probably approach charged up Void Rays now too since that reduction in damage against armored is so huge. And of course Protoss keeps getting worse against air... brood lords, corruptors and battlecruisers are now much more difficult to deal with.
