Terran is the new zerg while toss is a fuckin skeleton vampire swordsman from hell who shoots fireballs from his ass and shits all over everyone else's stuff. Better give toss free upgrades so gateway units can be as imba as colossi and forcefields. And as usual, zerg will get the crappiest end of the blizzard patch stick, +2+2 12min "timing attack" laughing at your 3rd base. Calm down. Terrans have the better players, so they're going to win regardless, and us scrubs can watch them and learn, and everything is normal yet again. | ||

Yeah those Zerg won't stand a chance now that I can replace one Zealot with a Stalker in my timing attack. This Change sooooooo breaks the game!! Why do you guys all think -50/-50 for +2+2 Upgrade is such a gamebreaker..... it is nothing, you save 50/50 once per game the second you start +2+2......... If you don't believe me check here for the exact math. Stop hating on Protoss just because you got used to do it. Edit: just scanned through this Thread, I think I'm getting sick.... -50/-50 at minute 12 for a one-time purchase certainly is not an "epic buff" a "game breaker" and does not mean that you "should really switch to Protoss now" or that they could "remove Terran, makes no difference" The EMP change, was done because EMP was meant to take out shields of special Units like Immortals, as said in an Interview @ Blizzcon. It was never meant to just eradicate all the energy and shields with 4 clicks.... And keep in mind that EMP now has the same radius as Psystorm, do you really want to cry that now you can hit like 3 Units? well I guess then Psystorm never was a Problem!? Plus, if this Patch really breaks the game, it will never get from PTR to the BNet Servers.. So just calm down. | ||

Justified nerfs if u ask me | ||

You say that one race constantly gets buffed, one gets nerfed and one remains the same. That would suck if all races were balanced at the beginning, if however one race is in the middle, one better one worse you would have to weaken one race and buff the other. Also Protoss got more nerfs than the amulet. like Psystorm radius, Zealot production time. Just recently, Blink research time. Yes this is meant to affect PvP the most, still it affects every matchup. On October 27 2011 22:55 Dalavita wrote: Stop portraying yourself as a victim.

I'm sorry I cannot follow that logic. And go read the last couple of pages people are arguing so much about teh upgrade changes... | ||

Terran was the op race at the release of sc2 so they have to suffer  And if you say the KA change was minor, you clearly dont understand the game. I think blizzard is on a good way to balance sc2, they have identified the problems and are trying to fix them. Regarding the changes. I like the reduced upgrade cost. Im playing double forge in pvt and there is a small timing window where terran can just crush you, which you can only hold if your way better than him. This helps protoss because its silly that its upgrades cost the same as its counterparts, but armor does only apply to half of the health. Moreover protoss is more reliant on upgrades than terran and zerg. Im not sure if the radi change is going to solve everthing, the problem with emp is the damage and that it is instant. For protoss its great news, but in tvz it might be a problem. I think they should make the damage a dot and reduce the range to 9, so terran has to use skill not to die against feedback (9<9+2). If it doesnt cause problems with tvz I think emp radius needs to be nerfed, in conjunktion with a range decrease | ||

Void Rays have been nerfed in several different ways including limiting their damage and removing the speed upgrade. The amulet was a brutal nerf for the late game vs T since you had to keep your HTs alive long enough to accumulated 75 energy. Most recently blink research was nerfed by something like 30 seconds which delays timing pushes more than making +2 weapons cost an extra 25/25. One of the first buffs was to give all bases more hitpoints which was basically a Nerf to P since none of P's high dps units could chase down collectors so the best form of harassment was to try to snipe the base. Protoss has seen its fair share of buffs too including changing how the charge mechanic works, making Archons massive, giving Warp Prisms extra HP, reduced built time for hallucination, reduced cost for observer and giving the immortal extra range. | ||

Common, there are still so many overpowered abilities in the game. Units should have a projectile and put it on the enemy and do damage. Doing other stuff should be forbidden because it hurts. (I was random.) | ||

But the point is that: Playing terran is fucking hard! MVP, Bomber, MKP, Sc and 20 other terrans are OP... But 10000 others get punished for that  | ||

"The only nerfs toss got were the amulet and the -1 decrease in the pylon radius" And Flux Veins removal, reduced vision on ramps (this one is bigger than the Pylon radius change), warpgate research time increased, Blink research time increased, Archon toilet nerfed. "The only real buff zerg got was the infestor," Roach range increase was pretty big. Spore crawler root-time decrease made dealing with Stargate openings easier. Ultralisk build time reduction, while not major, is somewhat useful. Corruptors losing their energy bar made them less fragile against T. | ||
