There is no point, before no foreign terran won almost nothing because the race is harder to play, but right now it's probably impossible. Because they are professionals and know that terran is a powerful race and they want to master it. They also don't thrown in the towel when the metagame shifts a bit. The rise of the next breed of terrans is going to be terrifying. We are going to see builds far more refined that anything we have seen before. | ||

Seriously, half of the posts in this thread are worrying about the quality of TvZ games, yet you still post like this? I'm sure most Terrans will be absolutely fine with nerfs in the early game, as long as the late game can be sustained on even footing with Zergs. Unfortunately, it seems like Blizzard is content with forcing Terrans to be the cheesing race until HoTS at the earliest. The problem is, I dont think blizzard looks at win rates based on TIME, only the raw number of win %s. Conveniently, so does most of the community that whines about terran being OP. | ||

This just further proves that the term "blizzard balance" is a very very real thing. For those who don't know from the WoW days, the way they would balance the game is have 2-3 classes be incredibly overpowered for 2-3 months at a time, thus creating a time for each class or spec to completely tear up everyone else until they get nerfed again and something else takes their place. If you are watching GSL and can honestly tell me that the Terran who are winning in Code S are not the absolute best at their race and deserve to be there, then there probably is no hope for SCII as a game. (Jjakji AND Ganzi were knocked out by two Protoss, you tell me what sounds balanced.) | ||

It's definitely good that they are making changes and listening to feedback, but to be honest we complain and bitch way too stubbornly and too often. It's dangerous if they make changes based on how much people are complaining because that only positively reinforces the idea that if you only cry enough, they will change the game instead of you having to overcome an obstacle. just look at wow if you want to see what listening to a community does. | ||

All the happy zergs out there, are you really looking forward to facing way more 2 base timing attacks from terran players? What about watching way more 2 base timing attacks TvZ in the GSL? :/ And blizzard completely ignores late game TvP? WTF? So glad I uninstalled the game a week ago. | ||

A zerg or protoss whining has more credibility than a terran whining, for some reason. Probably because Terran has way more GSL victories than the other two races? | ||

Snipe change is perhaps a bit much, it needs a change though. I cant say much for other races as I play Terran but for gods sake if they want to nerf us could they please address the Raven? The Battlecruiser (at least remove the energy bar so feedback doesn't kill everything)? If they are willing to put in upgrades to fix a problem wheres the hive tech speed boost for Hydras?! Its a good patch, but theres still some huge problems. Terrans higher tech units (bar ghost) are garbage, ghost made up for that, with the nerf I would've hoped to able to use those 2 other units we have that are supposed to fill late game roles. | ||

I would happily accept a T buff lategame if there was a T nerf early game delicate though. immortal and voidray all-ins are pretty strong against terran. what nerf/buff would you suggest? I would personaly like to see a little love for the raven. | ||

You guys are all just mad that the game is starting to be actually balanced and terran is no longer by far the strongest race. You suck at tvp now because you were so used to emp stim-a-move roflstomp protoss before the emp nerf and now you can't just build ghost to kill everything tvz lategame. As terran becomes less OP it also becomes more skillful to play, and especially in lower leagues (aka what 90% of the people on tl are in) skill is something everyone lacks so a lot of people are having a hard time as their race is not as easy as it used to be. Also I can't believe that you guys don't have the skills to play terran right is even a valid argument, unless you love winning (in which case you should play another game tbh) you probably play starcraft because you love the challenge it gives you to push yourself and improve, if your skills aren't enough (in your eyes) to play terran right then get of these forums, start practicing, and actually get better. Except protoss was the a move race, not terran. Toss still has the scariest deathball in the game, and it has always taken terran far more skill and caution to engage into it, especially in lower leagues. Improving your skill to play a race is a good thing, but when it takes MORE skill to win against people in your level, there's a problem... | ||

So while T might be the best race at the highest level(and I don't think that even that is the case anymore) most players don't have the skill to take advantage of that fact. Of course you are pissed if you are in that situaiton :p And it should be perfectly fine. Difficulties arising at different skill levels is perfectly normal at any competitive game with options. For example, choosing a 2 hand backhand or a 1 hand backhand in tennis. The 1 hander is harder to to learn when you are first starting, and you will probably struggle with it in comparison to doing a two hander. But once people start playing at higher levels, the 2 hander will have a harder time learning how to slice. At the upper levels, they are pretty damn even (unless you're talking Rafa vs Federer, in which case that 1 hander is a disadvantage). What really matters is that the top levels are balanced, and that the lower levels aren't grossly imbalanced. I wouldn't say nerfing the complete zerg t3 counter leads to a gross imbalance. Far from it really. | ||
