Also toss don't use harass in PvT atm because they are too concerned about getting their tech up off of 2 base. After that they have to focus on their huge ball not to die because they've invested too much in it. Heavy harassment would work great with adelscott style but sadly no one is doint it atm  | ||

I cant see why people think the zerg changes are OP though. They pale compared to the T changes. The zerg changes actually seem quite balanced. But the shredder alone is so darn hard to deal with. I don't think people get how fast they can be dropped all over to totally make a zerg base null and void. Its a cool idea for a defensive unit (although terran doesnt need it considering planetary and siege tanks), but as a unit that can be used for both (especially agressive use), its totally broken. And if people think it cant be used to add to the deathball they are so wrong. Screening the tanks the tankpush is unstoppable. What a stupid unit.... I really hope it doesnt make it to release. | ||

I think it's ok, the only thing that needs to be removed is the ability to be transported. It should be classified as building. That way the only way to use shredders for harass is to either build them in his base or run them straight through the front door into his mineral line... and in either case, the Zerg deserves what happens to him then. As for protecting against flanks, the Shredder slows down the terran army even more and makes it almost immobile, so it shouldn't be too hard to deal with. | ||

A prism will get noticed and all the terran has to do is evac scvs when there is threat and go back seconds later. Compare the drops: - a terran drop not only forces evac it also actually kills stuff even if workers are evacuated. U cant ignore the terran drop or it will kill important buildings while u can just spread out your scvs, let the storms go off, go back to mining, and go try to kill the protoss while he has much less AoE now. - terran drop is available at around 8-00(?) while you can get HT drop realistically at 14-00(?). Not only u need to get the tech available u need to wait for energy to build up - terran risks mineral only units while p risks extremely gas expensive units. Zealots drops seem to work out great for White-Ra every time ^^. Besides you can always drop the main with some sentries and FF the ramp. | ||

I think the shredder might have a bit too much health and maybe armor in those videos, but that's about it. Dropping them in the mineral line is fine, since most players will notice the red blip on their screen and run away their workers before the shredders have deployed. | ||

"what the fuck blizzard spider mines fucking RIDICULOUS - i have to have obs everywhere on the map or my army instantly evaporates" Like seriously, can you imagine the brood war whine fest there would be if the games positions in time were in reverse? "omg dark swarm, omg irradiate, omg psi storm, omg lurker kill entire worker line in two shot, omg omg omg" Seriously, stop. Stuff like this is exactly what brood war had and look at how fucking balanced brood war is. It's good that each race gets some things that appear at first sight to be ridiculous, because in reality they won't be. what makes brood war brilliant is how EVERYTHING is overpowered. but the different races overpoweredness balances each other out. what i dislike about sc2 is that it seems rather than make everything overpowered to balance the game theyve gone for everything boringly normal. althought to be fair with clumping it makes it a hard job. as a 1 bw style storm would probably kill a 200/200 ball army although i kind of disagreed with blue flame hellions being as overpowered as they were, because they were so fast as well. with any other harrass unit reacting quickly and running your probes allowed you to take minimal damage but hellions speed + splash system meant running probes usually cost you more casualties | ||

What dislike is that I feel like Terran is already very well defended against harassing Zerglings, encouraging the Zerg to keep all of his army in one place at a time. Harass being automatically handled is BAD, challenging the gamers is GOOD. | ||

I think it would be much better suited to Protoss whose drop play already isn't that good (in comparison) and would benefit from a unit that's able to zone out areas (think speedling counters vs muta/ling). Yeah, I would also like to have the shredder...seems like it would complement the protoss-arsenal pretty well. Good vs run-bys (terrans already have tanks and planetary ffs), useful for drops and impossible to just add into the 1a-deathball, that so many have been complaining about since release. I'd gladly trade it for the oracle....or the replicator...or the tempest now that I think of it  On October 31 2011 22:55 Gigaudas wrote: Harass being automatically handled is BAD, challenging the gamers is GOOD. if they add the shredder to terran, they should just remove the planetary....why not? | ||

We know two things as fact for the shredder. In game time, it has an 8 second siege time, and it does 20 damage every second. Those lings wouldnt have been able to hit it that much, and the drones would have been 2 shot. | ||

No, they survive 3 hits. They dont start dieing til the fourth. If it did 20 damage, it would take them to 1hp with 2 hits and kill them with a third, but it takes 4 hits to kill. Look at the lings, they definatly dont get two shot either, even though they have 35hp. | ||
