With 7 range and 8(?) vision I wouldn't recommend trying to rely on cannons vs the 6 range banshees. It's probably cheaper to build the robo. | ||

Exactly, if you want to FE quit bitching and build the robo. Its not like it slows you down anyway. You can go templar tech after that if you really want to. | ||

"Oh shit cloaked banshee 1+a stalkers + chrono a pylon, damn its a good thing I wasn't punished for my lack of scouting!" I agree with most of the other stuff though, Collosi need to be nerfed in order for other stuff to be buffed, buff stalkers with current collosi would be broken as hell. | ||

You can't cannon your entire base. Even if you put enough down to cover your mineral like the banshees will start to go to work on your army/pylons/key tech. Not to mention both those tech routes are big resource investments, your ground army is quite pitiful, investing in cannons means Terran can just roll you with whatever army he has built up. Exactly, if you want to FE quit bitching and build the robo. Its not like it slows you down anyway. You can go templar tech after that if you really want to. I hate this line of thinking. No you cant. Templar tech from Robo is a good 1000/1000 investment and 4mins (all your chorno boosts) of teching before you get Storm and Amulet. Throw in a robo and observer ontop of that and your army would comprised of 2 zealots and a stalker. | ||

P is doing fine going robo. | ||

Protoss favored in 2 regions(Na - 55%, Korean - 58%) in diamond. But is a little weaker than T in one (48% in Europe) Zerg matchups are almost as bad too, favors Zerg in Korea( ZvP - 57%, ZvT - 54%) and is mostly balanced in other regions While this isn't the end all, it's still interesting. I really do think Region Locking is making this much harder for them, and the sooner they get rid of it(Which is on the way it eventually) the less headache they'll have. | ||

The point is P want to go different tech routes without having to be pigeon holed into a specific tech path first. Yes they are doing fine, but this is like if Terran HAD to go 3 Barracks with techlabs before going to any other tech path, would Terran be fine? Yeah, but it is pretty dull. | ||

I`m actually so shocked at the 58% win ratio for pvt on the euro server. TvP is my strongest matchup imo(1800 terran). But of course I end it early-mid game. Scv all-ins ftw!!!  | ||

The main issue seems to be that terran is balanced about going bio, and just as in BW i just can't see bio winning over storm, even considering how "bad" storm is now in regards to it's BW counterpart. | ||

However, you cant nerf it without buffing something else. I straight up love your balance posts Mr.Jinro, ever since day 1 of the beta i've been reluctantly coming to the SC2 forum, and your posts always seem to hit the nail on the head, from my own perspective at least. Your balance discussions have maintained the quality we were used to in the BW forums. Personally what i fear at the moment is that whiners seem to rule Blizzard's balancing approach, if any toss units were to be buffed, most terrans would go mad with 4gate whine. Sure, stats are great at looking at some balance, but without sounding arrogant you just can't approach the balance for the masses - there was a certain bio push for T as well in BW (i believe Berseker did it from time to time?) which was pretty damn strong as well - but it was straight up countered by some good Reaver micro. (My reaver micro was terrible, so one of my Terran friends just kept doing this bio push until i had it down) | ||

From personal experience storm isnt that hard to play against (granted im not the greatest at the game). Its relatively easy to dodge and you can actually counter it with emp. The problem is colossus doing insane damage when you get like 3-4 of them. Im sure part of it is due to maps having narrow pathways so you cant really flank the protoss army once they get colossus. Templars are essentially just a buff to colossus. | ||

The funny thing there are so many people that claim that toss is helpless vs terran even at the 2k + level -_- | ||

Like I said before every matchup involving Protoss revolves around the Colossi. Bio and Zerg HAVE to do so well vs gateway units because it's the only way they can stop/prevent/survive colossi. People will say "omg air units" and that's true now, but only because we can have a leaner force to deal with the remaining gateway mix and it's not as big of a deal that a big part of our army is useless after killing the colossi. | ||

These figures are pretty worthless imo, almost every single one of them, dono why they even release them, all it does it make outcries of people claiming imba =\ | ||

Naw man, forced observer is np, it was the same with spider mines in BW. Zealots are pretty weak though, especially against Zerg... Roaches are out = Zealots become useless. | ||
