i guess terran are used to having total mapcontrol, perfect scouting, denying creep spread and building 3 cc's safely every game by building 4-6 hellions, was about time something changes (as morrow once said, he feels guilty using hellions in tvz) | ||

The observer change also bugs me because right now tvp is balanced around terran having a very strong mid game which isn't even really true in some situations because of protoss getting faster thirds. In general I very much agree with a general buff to scouting but then I want more solid defensive options and better scouting abilties for terran as well because right now we are the aggressors in every matchup and we very much depend on being able to surprise our opponents because otherwise preparing will be easy and terran forced into a passiv game will inevitably lose in the late game more often than not. So from my perspective these changes only go in the right direction if they go hand in hand with a general change of the dynamic of tvz and tvp. | ||

Sort of like how salvage lets the Terran have immediate defense without regard for long term cost or necessity. Let me know, I'm willing to scrap these changes for Blizzard to scrap salvage. | ||

Let me know, I'm willing to scrap these changes for Blizzard to scrap salvage. Building bunkers is an opportunity cost. If you build a bunker you still have to delay something else for 120 minerals. Sure you can salvage them later on but terran has to spend a lot of money and time in infrastructure anyways. Also bunkers don't fight on their own and can't be moved so they get more and more useless as the game goes on compared to spinecrawlers which can be moved throughout the game. So this comparison is just dumb. | ||

Today's GSL games showed that terran has an obvious advantage in the early-mid game vs protoss. This needs to be addressed urgently. I suggest nerfs to the terran bio units, perhaps make stim less effective or remove combat shields. | ||
