So lets make marines have hand grenades that they throw at queens and one shot them, then you can show me some replays of this happening and Ill be like "oh you should have scouted better"

I can't wait to see the NA T/P/Z distribution in a week or two. (Hint: terran will drop off even more)

There are currently 12 Terran in TOP 50 GM on NA right now.
There are currently 14 Terran in Range 50-100 on NA right now.
There are currently 22 Terran in Range 101-200 on NA right now
Total of 48 Terran in NA Grandmaster League right now. That's less than 25%. Also note, there are only 5 Random players in GM right now.
There are 75 Zergs on NA GM League. --------> 38%
There are 72 Protoss on NA GM league. --------> 36%
Imagine the ratio for next week. :D

A difference which is irrelevant to balancing the game at the highest level, which is in the best interest of eSports and the game as a whole. If you suck, get better. You can whine about balance when you're a pro player and your paycheck depends upon it.

The slightly faster OVs are a bit annoying, but so far the game is feeling the same-ish.

So because were not pros we cant have an opinion on something? Lol, it is pretty hilarious how all zerg and protoss players say they want the game balanced at the pro level and most terran players say they want it balanced at all levels, what does that show you?

Tons of players I have argued with on here say that "The game isnt supposed to be balanced at all levels, its supposed to be balanced at the pro level" Now why would they make that argument? Because clearly, zerg and protoss are much easier to play at the lower levels

lets balance according to NA GM league.
in all seriousness, the queen range and overlord speed improvements do seem a bit too much although i only played 1 game on the patch. regardless, better scouting capabilities and better early game defense needed to be improved for zerg. terrans complain that they cant "do anything" to harass the zerg now. guess what, as a zerg player, you think we could harass you easily? of course the races have diff characteristics and the zerg is supposed to have weaker defense in exchange for the ability to have a stronger eco. perhaps terran lategame army composition needs a buff now that T can no longer get an easy advantage in the early game.
|
Overlord buff seems decent so far, but my verdict is still out on the queen range. Might be a bit much, and if it is, then 4 range would probably be the better compromise solution. Still have yet to play enough TvZ games to really have a solid opinion on it.

The reason Terran is diminishing in quantity in ladder is because some Terran players got tired of them being branded OP and have switched races. Well, at least that's the reason for some players I know.

The amount of entitlement in this thread is disgusting. This change is supposed to lead to more macro oriented play ( seems to be why terrans hate it ). Does the queens extra range stop you from taking an early third? All it does is help defend against a couple retarded 1 base all in's and help deflect hellions ( which pre patch 4 of them could deny creep, scouting and your third ) You just have to control your hellions a bit better...Zerg has its issues but this isn't one of them, and it hasn't proven to be over powered at all. Just makes the early game less terran favored.

Are you on crack?
The reason terran has less players in GM league is because it is easier to reach GM with zerg or protoss, than it is with terran.
Mostly protoss comes to mind, there are just gobs of abusive builds and build order execution wins to be had if you play that race.

This idea that "macro play" should somehow be guaranteed is the true entitlement in this thread, and it's coming squarely from Zerg players. You want to play a drawn out macro game? Learn to hold the all-ins like DRG does. If there weren't any "retarded" 1 base and 2base all-ins, people who just take 5 bases and tech straight to T3 without fear of recourse; that's not an RTS, that's Risk.
4 Hellions denying creep and delaying the Zerg's third at the cost of later Siege Tech, a later Natural (as opposed to 1rax FE) and a lower Marine count is hardly overpowered.
