Try pressuring, works wonders. Give me a build that pressures and kills forcefield Protoss when you have 3 rax (1tech2naked) off a 1rax expand, that is also capable of killing Protoss? 1... 1 fucking warp in cycle kills 3-4 minutes of Terran production. The build time difference between gates and Rax for the first set of units may very well be one to one and half a minute. | ||

That means the area covered is enough to get out of the ramp. Is this an indirect nerf to all openers with hellions, because the map- control aspect is lost?! clueless. funny how the least qualified people are always the loudest when it comes to complaining about balance | ||

It would also be nice if our 'air superiority unit' didnt lose 2v1 with Corruptors, whom are easier to produce and have an ability that actually is usefull. | ||

Note how all of these all ins involve a robotics , except for the pure gateway and stargate all ins. If i scan your main and see a robo + gateways, i really don't have any idea of whats going on because that could mean 4 observers + crazy macro play, or any of the above all ins ^.^ | ||

Terran usually wins in PvT within the first 16 mins, if the game goes beyond that Protoss usually wins. Statistics show that Terrans win something like 70% of games that go 16mins long and Protoss win like 75% of games that go later than that in PvT. Only conclusion you can draw from that is that Terran is favored early/mid game and Protoss is favored late game. These stats honestly don't say anything. You know what A LOT of these mid game wins mean? Did this all-in work or not. Besides that, those stats are 3 months old......a whole lot has changed since then. | ||

LOL how I wish vikings lost to corruptors when there were twice as many vikings. Holy shit late game ZvT would be a breeze... Edit: also wtf, tank buff? troll. | ||

To be fair any good Zerg player right now can handle Stargate aggression insanely easily as is, this change will just make bad players able to deflect it much easier. | ||

It will be easier to scout, you'll have more creep, and if you build any queens during the attack they will pop out with a transfuse, I'd say that's pretty decent. The build loses a lot of it's power when scouted, and it's not currently wrecking the meta game right now. | ||

If you consider every hellion opening becoming ineffective at what it is supposed to do (and thus useless, thus nerfed) and any agression will have to be on creep / sacrifice 2 more scans. Reactive Robo to deal with cloackshees gets obs 10 seconds faster (tjust 5/6 more workerkills you don't get) and Cloacked Ghost becoming even more of a non- factor,Well, no nerfs. | ||

Queen 50 energy. Look at high level Zergs how they spread creep right now. It´s ridiculesly strong and too much, maybe it would be better to increase the creep range of the hatches. The Observer change makes me very angry. Srsly it´s like the Upgrade changes Blizzard is saying "well some koreans build more than one observer and have great success with it (i think Parting was it who have 6 - 8 Observers at the same time). But the average Protoss is just too stupid to build more than one so we have to buff them". I don´t see any reason for this and it´s a hidden terran nurf (again!) because cloak banshee will get weaker (and dt´s too). | ||

It's not 2v1, but corruptors beat Vikings hardcore and the higher the upgrades, the worse the fight. Vikings ate harder to mass so, imo, should at least trade kind of equal. Also, yes. Tanks are fucking pathetic. It takes 5 shots to kill a zealot, 11 to kill and archon. 11 to kill and ultralisk. For a ground 'superiority'unit, needing to be with 22 + walls/meatshields to hold off ultralisks/archons is not really 'superiority'. Also, Terran is the only race without no supply costing defense for minerallines, except for PF, which doesn't stretch to the end of the mineral line. being able to waste 2 tanks and know they'll be effective is worth a lot. | ||

Why is it that your all-ins are the only ones that should remain unscoutable? EDIT: You are limited by the creep tumor cooldown. Look at the two screenshots and realize the TRUTH, and not your imagination. How about you realize the "TRUTH" that it's not just the cooldown, and that creep literally SPREADS faster. Like, the actual, physical creep, moves more in less time. It's too good. | ||
