EPTHere's a question though. Would widowmine be ok if it didn't affect air(both trigger and splash)? Between turrets, marines, thors and vikings, it's not as if Terran lacks anti-air. It would definitely help carriers TvP. It might be both negative and positive in ZvT, easier to deal with stray mines, more shots against ground as you can't soak up mine shots with mutalisks and air units. Avoids silly situations where 4-5 mines take out 30 mutalisks.

For the second time I've given you a well reasoned argument as to why Tempests are "fragile" and several people agree. I already discussed how HP is not the focus but rather relative DPS, but that doesn't seem to matter to you so fine.. agree to disagree then. Though I would add that by your logic, a Hatchery would win a fight vs a bunch of MMM because it has higher HP. I gave you the DPS of Marines, Hydras, Vikings (things that would typically shoot at Tempests that wander too far away from their escorting army) to make the point that Tempests cannot wander away from the army that protects them or they die very quickly. This seems very reasonable to me... much more so than your counter argument: With debating skills like that I'm not sure why you're not in law school already. Yeah if you're just going to reply "LOL DINOMIGHT IS WRONG HE IS SO WRONG" then you're not really adding anything here. User was warned for this post | ||

What part of this is hard to understand: I gave you the DPS of Marines, Hydras, Vikings (things that would typically shoot at Tempests that wander too far away from their escorting army) to make the point that Tempests cannot wander away from the army that protects them or they die very quickly. Note how I'm talking about Tempests when they're by themselves, away from the Colossus and HT. One of my points was that they're hard to use in a composition because they tend to drift off by themselves if you're not careful and you have to actively make sure they stay with your army. This is really basic stuff here, man. On October 29 2014 04:41 Decendos wrote:oh and in no way i said protoss OP before you start reading whatever you want again... ???????? Where did I say that you called Protoss OP? You're the one making stuff up here, not me. | ||

Build time decreased by 20 seconds Widow Mine No longer can hit air units. Cost increased to 100 minerals / 150 gas Hellbats Life reduced by 20 Medivacs Gas cost increased to 125 Terran buildings Requires a research for lift, which costs 150/150. Can be researched at Orbital Corrupters Attack speed increased by 20% Hydras New ability: Toxin Spine (Will now decrease all regeneration or healing done by 50% for units hit by Hydras. Mostly intended to decrease bio healing effectiveness) Damage increased by 3 Marine Stim'd marines now attack 20% slower Storm Storm duration reduced by 2 seconds, but deals the same amount of damage as before over its duration. Game is now balanced. | ||

At least I made changes that made remotely some sense and addressed some issues that people on this thread were talking about. If the game balance was in your hands, you would have Terran start the game with 10 SCVs, Banshees perma-stealth mode, all Terran units are now free, and you would still deny that the race is broken. | ||

It's a strategy game. Much like not building the wrong units, you shouldn't pick the wrong races. I like it when people nerf | ||

The tiny 25 gas increase for medivac is huge? How many medivacs do you see mid-game, about 5 or 6? 6 times 25 = not even 200 gas and it addresses the too cost efficient bio army | ||

Is this the real life, or is this /r/Starcraft? Seriously, the game is as balanced as it has ever been and you come up with 2 buffs to Protoss (of which one MASSIVE), 7 Nerfs to Terran and 2 buffs to Zerg. Parkufarku, hand me some of that stuff you are using, please. And before you draw the epic Biased card, I play random. And your changes are bullshit. | ||

"tiny" 25gas may not be much when you have 3bases rolling, but the cost is extreme for your first 2 medivacs, you just spent 350/350 even teching to them, you don't have that luxury of gas yet and the first 2 medivacs are absolutey super fucking important for any timing ever, and you should know that terran is on a deathclock in both their non mirror MU's. | ||
