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. i like this post alot, saying that ur not good enough to play a certain race and then complaining about balance is the most retarded thing ive ever heard, go practise, get better and stop whining | ||

Terrans are feeling helpless vs t3 from other races. We all know how TvP is, which is fine (and easy to mess up w/o pro level play on both sides and those windows of messing up are easily exploited), and now TvZ is going to turn the same way. TvX will turn into timing-attack based play even moreso rather than techy macro play. It'll only get worse as time goes on, as players get better and the only devastating thing T can do to "even up" macro advantages of enemies who we cannot damage with primary engagements is drops (which are becoming spotted and dealt with easier and easier at all levels). MULE change was needed, I agree with it. Ghost change might have been, as I haven't seen many zergs QQ about "snipes" but more about difficulty keeping the terran from doing damage late-game with 2 simultaneous attacks to gain posture advantages. ghosts cost a lot of gas and minerals and for them to have no real ability to do permanent damage on their own can be very harmful, especially in the TvT MU. Why get ghosts without wanting to nuke? no reason. Even then, nuking would be hard with scans. Ghosts in TvP aren't nearly as deadly as Templar IMO and the same goes for Infestors in TvZ. With no good permanent damage option against non-spell casters then you could tech switch multiple ways as Z and roll the T army (corruptor BL infestor to force vikings into ultra-infestor-ling to lower tank count into ling bling muta vs essentially bio). T needs a semi-reliable "catchall" in late-game, as their army can't be selected as easily as P or Z (20 muta vs 15 infestor or 20 stalker vs 20 zealot warpin to terran constant production mechanics where they have to guess what units they need to make facilities). | ||

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 think the Raven would be cool if it was ammo based. One PDD, one HSM and 2 turrets that didn't expire. That would be worth the price if you could use them all in a row and it didn't get hit by feed back. | ||

This makes TvZ so much harder late game, right at a point when terrans had figured out how to win late game TvZ 50% of the time instead of 20% of the time. Now it's going to be a race against the clock, just like TvP. I do think mass ghost snipe is stupid, so fine, nerf it, but buff something else terran has instead, or nerf broodlord/corrupter/infestor in some way. 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. Yeah I'm amazed that Blizzard hasn't acknowledge Terran's problems in the lategame but once?! How can they not see it!? Maybe i should just go back to playing Random again, I get too frustrated playing with terran as it is right now, this isn't helping xD | ||

Nevermind.. :D I just wait for HOTS so I can play some macro oriented mech.. I'd gladly give away all my ghosts, reapers for a single unit or upgrade that would allow me to play macro lategame.. | ||

i still think being able to snipe a massive armored unit like the ultralisk is counter-intuitive though. it fears not little pinprick snipe bullets. | ||

Ultras are quite good vs PF. Marau rapes them as long as you can avoid fungal, which is perfect imo | ||

These changes seem pretty dramatic overall as far as balance goes, I think the meta-game will be maturing a lot very shortly. | ||

Pros Paraphrased TLO: Good changes, maybe too heavy on the snipe nerf. Grubby: Good changes Incontrol: Some stuff about new unit countering options - seems like he thinks the changes were good/obvious. Beastyqt: Other races becoming too easy and nerfing terran. TT1: Put the phoenix change on the cyber core. Naniwa: Upgrade on fleet beacon is worthless. Everyone else Terran: You made it worse. Terran now has no chance against anyone. Protoss: You didn't change anything. *jedi mind trick* Zerg: Zergs now have no chance against P. Did I get that right? | ||

Buffing hunter seeker damage and the Raven's movement speed would be a nice start. | ||
