Can someone, for the love of God, tell me why Reaper grenades were added into the game? Other than providing the most infuriating cheeses in TvT?

True, but Siege Tanks should be universally useful in every scenario.

I got it.
best possible change to make tanks useful.
Liberator: change name to siege tank
Remove siege tank from factory.

I got a better one:

Remove Liberator AG
Tanks Overkill
+10 damage (vs all)
+malestorm rounds (+20 damage vs massive single target, splash unaffected)
+cost reduce to 150/100/3
+transformation time reduce to 3 seconds from 4 seconds.
+Tanks attack speed reduced to 3 from 2.8
TADA

Won't be good vs air then, so it won't be good in every situation.

I'm honestly wondering how Protoss is supposed to defend 3 rax proxy reaper cheese if PO is nerfed to, say, 50 energy. Anything less than 3 gates before expanding and you'd just die.

Idea:

Mothership core is removed altogether
Pylons individually have to research overcharge, tech available at cybernetics core for 100/100

Yes, and overlords can morph in to BL and supply depots in to PF.

Stalker's come from the Gateway try building them from time to time. Also leave MC at home for PO it really helps.

And lets not forget adepts. Sure they aren't that strong vs reapers, but they also kill them in no time. I stopped even bothering to use reaper scouts vs toss since they simply die so fast. In addition MSc can continiously add its damage (sure it isn't largest damage, but it is risk free), and you still have an overcharge upon it spawning.

That seems obvious to me. It was clear that reapers had no role except early game scouting, and sometimes cheeses in HotS. So a simple solution by Blizzard was adding the grenades, and now they have no role except early game scouting and often cheeses. If this made sense to you, try applying for a job at Blizzard .

In the meantime: Yeah I agree, nothing would be lost by removing those grenades. (And then maybe a *slight* boost in their stats).

I don't get why they didn't buff cannon, instead of adding a whole new way for protoss to get static defense. Pylon overcharge feels so forced in the game.

I believe this is because Toss gateway units are inferior to other races' T1-1.5 units in a straight up engagement. You need upgrades, good simcity and maps that doesn't suck ass. Massive gold maps and massive natural ramps doesn't make it easier without that patchwork mechanic.

When Mvp won that IEM against foreigners it also meant that terran isn't UP and people needed to learn to play...

Oh it is just the newest Homestory cup I see I see.

One tournament not big enough sample size

Also the Protoss were really really bad in Homestory cup XII. No good Protoss. If herO homestory cup then herO win and protoss winrate much higher

Protoss so bad in homestory that even Rotterdam play. He is commentator and no progamer !!!!!

Nice try to trick me. Next tournament when good protoss the win rate go up

You just used the same small sample size to argue TvZ is ok, weird.

Regardless of win rate, I think something else is at least as interesting from those stats: 50% of the mirror matches are ZvZ. Of course maybe stuff will get figured out, and the meta changes, but for now Zerg is by far most popular race. And somehow I doubt that is because everyone like playing with bugs.

Bisu need to start SC2 so he can show people how to play good !
