If he spawn in a "bad spot" his wall will be weaker because his tech/lab will be exposed. It might sound dumb, but against an all in strategy those little details have their importance. I hope blizzard could do something about it... What you guys think about that? I mean am I the only one not happy when I spawn in a "bad spot" with terran? | ||

There's no way for them to fix that issue other than to design maps where all the ramps face right. | ||

There are many small details like that - larva positioning on a hatch is another one - that they should have considered from the start of the designphase. It's not that relevant most of the time but given how much blizzard advertized the esports mentality of the game such basic unfair asymmetries should have never made it into the game. | ||

I think Cyber>Nexus>Robo is not economical enough if you're not being cheesed (which you can't know ahead of time). Ugh... I'm tired of discussing balance. Let them nerf PO and we'll see what happens. Dinomight's prediction: Good players will dodge disruptor shots well and the matchup will tip towards T. Good players already do dodge disruptor shots. Terrans at the professional levels are expert in splits, they've been doing it against banelings, fungals, and storms long before disruptors. Your prediction is just insulting. | ||

I don't think that units are the problem. Zerg eco is just out of control in LotV. Play zerg and try. You are super wrong. Zerg eco is bad in LOTV, but late game units are strong  MY lotv balance list : - Too Strong : Adept Reaper Ravager Ultralisk Liberator - Too Weak: Thor Hydra Muta Stalker Void Ray | ||

You can just walk over expansions at that point because you have a three-building tech tree while Protoss has already made a robo bay and now has to go all the way to fleet beacon to get units that can contend with what Terran has again. Without some kind of early game advantage Protoss is just going to die here. protoss can trade okay with bio lib by zoning the bio out with disruptors while killing the liberators with stalkers. Also the window you're talking about is the only window where terran has a chance of winning. Early game and lategame are heavily protoss favored. | ||

People keep complaining in regards to Adepts, but Adepts don't shred units that are designed to counter them. Mutas on the other hand are often used to fight Stalkers head on. And very often they win. | ||

They play either phoenix or strong timings to hit right before muta If zerg has the time to go mutas then protoss do something wrong | ||

If stalkers were meant to actually counter mutas they wouldn't have +armor damage. Stalkers are just the filler you build to get by until you transition into the actual counter to mutas. | ||

Are you sure Mutalisks themselves are inherently the problem, as opposed to how quickly Zerg amasses a death flock of them? | ||

Spire takes long time and getting gas aswell. If zerg build fast death flock of mutas then they don't have other gas units. Perfect timing window for Protoss to exploit ! | ||

Although it isn't very intuitive that Protoss has to make phoenixes to deal with mutas. The other races have more than 1 good way of dealing with them even when they don't blindly prepare for a tech switch. | ||
