Ganzi screwed up. I know he had a lot to do, but his viking sat way too close to the voids. Had he set his SCV's to auto repair and just kited with the viking to lure the voids over the bunker, he would've been fine. At that point in time, SCV's are 100% expendable. Only the viking was irreplaceable. | ||

That is why terran wins the most, that is why terran dominates teamleagues, that is why terran is simply the best right now. Not necessarily imbalanced, but it forces other races to play perfect and reactive. Just like in football, you can play reactive, but the moment you make one mistake in your defense, you have to switch it up. And the races dont have the ability to switch it up reliably, as there are simply no units that do the same thing as the banshee or BFH, except maybe the DT, but terran has built-in scans  . If the terran loses some workers, there's still mules to make up for it . Oh and you wont really make it to infestors/ht if you lose stuff early, because the T timings are unforgiving.And thats not even mentioning BO wins, which terrans dont really have problems with unless they fuck up greatly. There's a reason that protoss tries to do so many 'gimicky all-ins' (aka 2 base/1 base pressure). If you play for the alternative, you need to play absolutely perfect and reactive. And this is insanenly hard across multiple games. Better to try and force the terran to make some mistakes, as if you play normal, it simply all relies on YOUR ability, and not so much theirs. If anything, I dont think terran should be nerfed at all. Terran is the perfect race and it is the most fun to watch. And it is the most fun to watch for a reason: the units are fast, fragile, and they can change the game on their own. Just like the reaver could, just like the defiler could, just like the lurker could... Only the cool thing is, the terran units that do this are not really casters. And the sad thing is, id say protoss misses these units especially (except for the HT (colossi are dumb, totally not fun), but to reach the HT stage, you again need to play absolutely perfect and pray that the EMPS dont gut you 100% at the 10 different timings they have vs. you) | ||

The race is so sturdy and robust thanks to the mules and salvage bunkers, yet you have so many bo advantages / wins and insane harass options to turn the game around (marines drop, bfh, banshees) My poor protoss fellows getting smashed everywhere  | ||

If you combine the best harass/nerf units (banshee, BFH) with the mule and the ability to do various ingenious all-ins, then you have an insane race that forces the other races to play almost absolutely perfect.

Once it gets past the midgame I definitely see it being zerg/protoss favored | ||

Just imagine the race with the reaver, or any other semi-reliable harass unit that you can actually incorporate into your army (hello banshee/muta!). Its just poor designed. Agreed. I just hope they are considering changing the race enough to fix these design problems. | ||

The problem with that sentiment is that we'd have to deal with a sort of imbalance born from poor design all the way until an expansion comes out, which simply isn't an immediate option. | ||

Thats like saying you choose to believe in God because you are afraid of what happens when you die. Just accept it the way it is and wait patiently ^_^ And it isnt really imbalance, just different tools per race. One is a lot more suitable for a game in the early stage and allows you to maximize your skill level. The other asks you to play perfect or gamble it up :D | ||

Yeah I agree, if there is imbalance in the sense that the race is missing something due to design flaws, something should still be changed instead of just waiting for HOTS to come out and hope for the best (who knows how long it'll be with blizzard). | ||
