Jesus, ENOUGH WITH THE GOLDS!!

Golds are still unbalanced in ZvP.


How?


Protoss can't FE on a map with a gold vs. zerg, zerg just takes the gold base for free then gets a huge lead.

Protoss is pretty much the only race right now that can't benefit from a gold base. In the patch, it'll be protoss AND terran that can't benefit.


Yea I agree they need to remove gold bases. On metalopolis or Antiga, I always take the gold as my natural if I see Toss went FFE. They can't do anything about it, and the increased income is just soooo huge that I have no problem making 2 extra spines to deal with it being open. I don't think I've ever lost vs FFE on Metalopolis for that reason...

If anything, have rich geysers.

You don't even play Terran. So don't say "us terran", you aren't even one of us and pretending to be a Terran won't make your post any less bullshit. I can check you recent posts, in fact anyone can, so there's no point in denying it, it's there to see for everyone. Don't claim to be a Terran, we don't want you, we don't need you. Stick with zerg.


i play random and play terran in my custompractice, dunno what u are talking about
this is no "i defend my race so it stays the strongest thread". make useful posts or stop provocating around.
i remember when zerg got nerfed its NP and ppl were saying zerg cant beat zvp anymore but the matchup developed alot and its much better than it was back then(even when zvp is still very weird). dont know why u are bitching around, whoever doesnt make a living with the game should keep it keep and enjoy the game but u look just like a mad mad boy thinking with better balance he would play 5 leagues higher.

edit: i hope u know u cant own a race so whats wrong?

There's a reason Thorzain is the only good foreign Terran.

Once again there is a change for the very top level of play and all the lower terrans will have to suffer. That's just great. TvP and TvZ were already harder for terran in lategame and it keeps getting worse and worse.

All your posts are in "Zerg help me threads" or other Zerg threads. Who are you even trying to bullshit here? Everyone can check your post history, there isn't even an ounce of a molecule of a Terran player in you. Literally ever single one of your posts is anti-terran. And pretending to be a terran player, doesn't help you at all. Lie all you want, but realize that it's pathetic and childish and ridiculous.

Even better imo, is the extra damage against high templars in TvP, which is good, since storm dodging is usually what screws me up in TvP. In terms of people who don't like terran not having the greatest caster units, ravens are pretty good, especially if your against a deathball that's zealot/sentry/HT heavy.

19 snipes = decent?19 snipes = 475 energy(and tendonitis), you need to use at least 7 new ghosts with mobious reactor to kill an ultra, god damn these dramatic terrans, snipe is totally fine!


Marauders do an excellent job of killing ultras. Hell, in chokes marines and tanks rape ultras pretty hard too. The point is that ghosts should be for emping and taking out casters. Ghosts were never supposed to be a counter-every-zerg-tier3 unit. That was a mistake that Blizz made that they are now trying to rectify.

Fun fact: the last time a foreign terran won a large tournament was TSL3. Demuslim, Major and Jinro do not have any high placings or wins. Thorzain and Kas are basically the only two foreign terrans that do well consistently.

come on the EU server and add me by time i show u my terran play

stop messing around now and pm me when uve got a problem sherlock, ur posts dont belong in this thread

topic:
allways getting infestors in 2 hits is a great thing now, cuz thats how the game should work more likely. dunno if a rangebuff would help then cuz the range is pretty good alrdy,but they should be used abit more precisely then just PEWPEWPEW all over the place.

mainproblem is not the ultralisk itself its more about the techswitches between BL/infestor and Ultra/infestor and that terran cant switch fast enough before knowing whats happening. with ghosts u were/are always on the safe side cuz they are quite good against both of them.

marauders obviously dont help against broodlords, vikings not vs ultras

My point is that tech switching is the sign of a good rts. And that both races reacting to each other is a good thing. We want to encourage it not discourage it. Having a single unit that can counter all of another races tier 3 units is the sign of a bad RTS. It's much more interesting to watch players reacting and counter-reacting to each other's compositions.

Ghosts were never supposed to be a counter-every-zerg-tier3 unit. That was a mistake that Blizz made that they are now trying to rectify.



mainproblem is not the ultralisk itself its more about the techswitches between BL/infestor and Ultra/infestor and that terran cant switch fast enough before knowing whats happening. with ghosts u were/are always on the safe side cuz they are quite good against both of them.

marauders obviously dont help against broodlords, vikings not vs ultras


My point is that tech switching is the sign of a good rts. And that both races reacting to each other is a good thing. We want to encourage it not discourage it. Having a single unit that can counter all of another races tier 3 units is the sign of a bad RTS. It's much more interesting to watch players reacting and counter-reacting to each other's compositions.


sure but zergs techswitches are alot faster and more rapid. also theres nothing that tells you whats coming next.
i really like the idea of using ghosts more against the infestor than against broodlords/ultras itself.

At this rate the only way to get a terran opponent will be to log into KR server... this is a bullshit patch, the worst yet. I guess terran should get a mothership to stop T3 BL/infestor balls in this same patch

Alot of people aren't liking the snipe thing by the looks of it. I don't mind the snipe change because it's still decent against ultras and brood lords, and even just weakening those units is beneficial. On top of that, snipe does more damage to infestors (which is what I personally have the most trouble dealing with in TvZ)

Even better imo, is the extra damage against high templars in TvP, which is good, since storm dodging is usually what screws me up in TvP. In terms of people who don't like terran not having the greatest caster units, ravens are pretty good, especially if your against a deathball that's zealot/sentry/HT heavy.

19 snipes = decent?19 snipes = 475 energy(and tendonitis), you need to use at least 7 new ghosts with mobious reactor to kill an ultra, god damn these dramatic terrans, snipe is totally fine!


Marauders do an excellent job of killing ultras. Hell, in chokes marines and tanks rape ultras pretty hard too. The point is that ghosts should be for emping and taking out casters.

Except terran is the only race doing the reacting, terran doesn't have the potential to win because they've hidden their tech in the late game, now wonder what happens if a zerg manages to hide a tech switch to blords while the terran was expecting ultras because he scanned the cavern, I guess that's an autoloss( because marauders apparently can't shoot air!), the same goes for assuming blords, good luck using vikings vs ultras.So unless we can constantly throw scans everywhere, we need ghosts to counter every T3 unit, whilst building the 'proper' conter, any other answer simply doesn't cut it and it's not like ghosts are anywhere near exceptional at what they do.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.
