MVP went Ghosts because of the potential tech switch. Crushing an ultralisk army with marauders and then facing a broodlord army would be automatic loss. Ling baneling would have smashed that btw. ... So much bias here. You are biased if anything. A unit that counters both t3 options for zerg with the same spell already sounds imbalanced. On top of that they counter Infestors aswell. Ghosts that are positioned inbetween tanks and a few blue flame helions to roast incoming lings, and you basically have an untouchable army, not only on paper. Ghosts have more range on their snipe than broodlords or infestors, so you actually cant do shit with ranged attacks. Ultras are roasted by tanks and snipes. Roaches are shit against tanks anyways. Hydras are shit against terran overall. Lings get roasted by tanks and blue flame helions. Basically a ghost mech army was just untouchable for current zerg compositions because the ghost negated long range siege attacks (broodlords) or fist to the face im inbetween your tank attacks (ultralisks). Leaves all the other shit zerg has that is countered by tank helion. Blizz did the right thing in nerfing snipe. | ||

And still with all that in mind, the number of game terran get a mech ghost army is like 50 times less often than zerg get a BL Infestor corruptor army which can't be touched without ghost. :/ | ||

Perhaps they give tempest and AoE ground attack. Then no matter which techroute you go, you gonna have your answer to marines. | ||

Leaves all the other shit zerg has that is countered by tank helion. Blizz did the right thing in nerfing snipe. You will rarely see a mech army with Ghost support, as mech is very gas-intensive and needs other infrastructure than techlabed raxes and ghost academy. Typically, you face mass ghosts as late game transition of marine tank medivac midgame. A couple of ghosts are still okay to handle with a normal zerg Broodlord/Corruptor/Infestor composition. It gets tricky, when there is mass ghosts on the field. But as this is very gas-intensive, Terran normally has just few tanks left, so it should be possible to counter mass ghosts with mass bling/ling, i.e. morphing 100 banes when facing the threatening amount of 25-30 ghosts (that definitely decimates any T3 tech instantly, that's for sure) | ||

Remove Shakuras and 75% of these games won't happen anymore. Maps are always the best solution to balance. | ||

Okay? They're meant to snipe low-hp, high-priority casters, like High Templars and Infestors, not the beefiest units in the game. Who says it shouldn't counter them? Infestors have neural which counter and completely nullify my thors/BCs. High templars have feedback which does exactly the same. Ghosts have snipe that counter zerg tier 3 - Whats this, a terran caster working similarly to his zerg/protoss counterparts? Nerf the shit out of it! Its just Blizzard taking another unit and pidgeonholing it into a role that they somehow feel is more proper, balance is hardly even an issue in lategame TvZ. Not to even mention the fact that snipe only countering casters makes it completely meaningless when ghosts already have EMP. | ||

Blizzard does. One would hope that after all this time, players would've got the point but gawd you guys are stubborn. | ||

No they are saying they counter them "slightly too well", which somehow justifies a near-50% nerf to snipe. Besides, many units don't work exactly as Blizzard designed them, does that mean Blizzard should keep nerfing/buffing them until they all do? Doing anything creative seems to be forbidden in this game, at least when its terran. | ||

Terrans need to think a little about their race and create a different mindset. Things need to change or the mighty terrans will get behind. | ||
