Yeah some guy made this whole thread on how the marine is one of the most vital units in the terran army and without them terran is nothing?

Uh, no. Just no. Roach 16 damage every 2 seconds (8 DPS), 4 range 145 HP, armored biological Marauder 10 damage every 1.5 seconds (6.66 DPS), +10 vs armored (13.33 DPS), 6 range 125 HP, armored biological Stalker 10 damage every 1.44 seconds (6.94 DPS), +4 vs armored (9.72 DPS), 6 range 80 shields, 80 HP, armored mechanical As it stands, marauders and stalkers can get a free shot off on a roach without taking damage, so essentially, marauders and roaches would start off with the same HP, and against stalkers, roaches are down by 29 HP. Furthermore, marauders and stalkers have a higher DPS, not to mention the fact that marauders can stim to move away and get more free shots and fire faster and stalkers have blink. Roaches really have the short end of the stick here, before upgrades are considered. They are beat in DPS and range. | ||

For better accuracy, you probably shouldn't forget that roaches cost less than a marauder, much less than a stalker, and since you said that marauders get stim and stalkers blink, I guess we give roaches burrow and burrow move too? And I think roaches build time is shorter than either. I agree that roaches shouldn't be changed, but don't say roaches got "the short end of the stick" based on some worthless calculations. | ||

All you guys need to stop using the term "DPS" (which is a stupid carryover from WoW anyway), stop theorycrafting, and actually play the game. Roaches have a higher damage per volley, so their focus fire is much more effective at killing stalkers. Seriously, have you tried playing roach vs stalker at even cost? Without blink, stalkers just die a horrible death. Once you factor in some ling support, it becomes even more lop sided. | ||

And I think roaches build time is shorter than either. I agree that roaches shouldn't be changed, but don't say roaches got "the short end of the stick" based on some worthless calculations. I was only calculating damage, range and health and added upgrades as possibilities. Roach 75/25, 27 second build time, spawned from larva which are also used to create drones and overlords, thus possibly lowering the amount of roaches spawned. Moving unburrowed, their speed is 2.25, 3 with glial reconstitution. Burrowed they move at 1.40, and 2.15 with glial reconstitution. Assuming they are on creep, the speed is 1.3x 145 HP with .273 HP/S regen, 5 when burrowed, 10 when burrowed with tunneling claws. Biological armored with 1 armor. They do 8 DPS to ground targets at a maximum range of 4. Marauder 100/25, 30 second build time, trained at a barracks. Constant 2.25 speed, 3.375 speed for 12 seconds when stimmed. 125 HP, biological armored with 1 armor. They do 6.66 DPS to non-armored ground targets, 13.33 DPS when stimmed. They also have +10 vs armored which translates to 13.33 DPS to armored ground targets, 26.66 DPS when stimmed, at a maximum range of 6. On top of this, they can also have concussive shells which slows a single non-massive target by 50%. Including upgrades, marauders can kite roaches just due to concussive shells. Stalker 125/50, 42 second build time, 5 second warp in time, trained at the gateway/warped in via warp gate. Constant 2.95 speed, however the blink ability can be used to teleport stalkers out of combat (10 second cooldown), and allows the stalkers to go up or down cliffs, however blink is limited by line of sight. Furthermore, if you remove upgrades from the equation, stalkers can kite roaches easily due to the speed difference. 80 shields, 80 HP. Shield regens 2 per second. Mechanical armored with 1 armor. They do 6.94 DPS against non armored ground or aerial targets, and 9.72 DPS against armored ground or aerial targets, at a maximum range of 6. So upgraded or not and not microed, when put at a distance of 10 from each other, the stalker or marauder would kill the roach every time. If you disregard "worthless calculations" and only think about how players utilizing the abilities of each, then roaches can be used on par with stalkers or marauders. However if you choose to think like that, then you'd have to factor in the possibility of ravens, observers, scanner sweeps, etc. since you know, players use those too. | ||

On top of that, roaches cost larva as well as resources. I'm not really sure where that puts marauders but they seem to take most of the hits for MMM bioballs. | ||

The stalker better damn well beat the pants off a roach at any given time and day | ||

If you want balanced units then you will have imbalanced races, period. It doesn't matter how the units compare on paper if they turn out to be too powerful when coupled with that races other units and abilities. You cannot compare units in isolation. I get so sick of unit to unit comparisons, as they mean absolutely nothing. | ||
