The queen change seems to have brought in the ability for zergs to get 3 base fast without drone damage, resulting in zergs getting to an unmanageable level for terrans. As we see in GSL, GSTL, korean zergs can get their 60 drones by 8mins+ and max on roach by 12-13, like Stephano's build against protoss. To already reach your desired drone level before 10mins, is more then protoss or terran can do econ wise. In the past, terran were able to stunt the drone levels and if done well could maintain even econs throughout the game. However, making many queens with almost no lings, results in zergs drone production being unaffected by any marines or helion or banshee pressure terrans try to do to stunt drone production or to delay third. This is only an observation, obviously I can mis-read things or not notice other details that are important. Perhaps there are new terran timings or builds that are making a difference. | ||

The queen buff range from 3 to 5 is clearly too much. And a good proof about that is that when it came out, Idra actually said something along the lines of "Hmm..That's good", instead of a usual "Useless, we'll keep losing", so I think that's saying a lot. | ||

If Symbol, Losira, Byul, Moon keep killing everyone, Terran will have less than 20% win rate in that MU. Can't forget Life! The guy got 9 wins this season. Symbol, Losira, Byul, Moon, Life... who's next? | ||

This is only an observation, obviously I can mis-read things or not notice other details that are important. Perhaps there are new terran timings or builds that are making a difference. you are right. The big problem is, there is no real opening that makes sense for terran. you see a lot of korean terrans try out banshees. But with zerg relying more on queens, banshees become just less effective. With nowadays 2 standard queens only for creepspread, you can't even deny creep with them... This opening seems to be worse than before, but where's the alternative? hellions are really shut down now. numbers of 2-6 hellions just have no impact on the creepspread. Higher numbers are a huge commitment for little gain, and even may fuck you up completely, when the zerg decides to got ultra fast muta (saw jinro vs life? ^^). I'm trying around with an old MKP build making 1rax expand into 3rax (techlab-reactor-reactor) marauder/combat shielded marine pressure and go into a 3rd base from there before teching up to tanks and medivacs. It seems quite effective on smaller maps like korhal or ohana, (or entombed close pos), but on large maps, it hits way to late, so this is only an option on small maps. On large maps, I have to admit that I have no idea how to pressure the zerg to prevent at least the creep from reaching your natural, before you are able to push out, while going for a fast 3rd. The big problem is, that without denying the creep, you absolutely don't stand a chance. Oncreep engagements just go way too well for the zerg. | ||

I think anyone reasonable and who plays the game can see that Blizzard overnerfed Ghosts' EMP/Snipe, and HSM is really good but if infestors can just fungle your Ravens before you can get the HSM off they are worthless. HSM range is a little too low because of fungle. | ||

No one can deny Terran is weak against Zerg/Protoss in the late game and that needs to be addressed.

The problem is how TvP is played in Korea... basically it's kill P before both Storm/Col or die. | ||

2 rax ftw. since i started 2 rax again (was playing 95 % macor games) guess what? my winrate goes up from 20% to 40/50% again. the last all in that's viable. at least i am not getting as frustrated and hand a little bit over to the zergy fellows. seriously. good points by kiwi and huge props to zerg players who admit that it has become such an easy matchup. the fungle slow i a cute idea. but it won't change the huge problems like no rush until midgame for zerg. remove the queen range blizz and give tanks 60dmg. just my 2 cents. | ||

Protoss has an advantage in the lategame PvT, but it is more like a 60% advantage than the 100% newbies on forums make it out to be. | ||

The fungal slow was only 1 of like 10 of my ideas to fix this game. There were queen nerfs listed as well. | ||

Maru did it in his U&D for example. But the big problem is, there are only very few terrans out there, who achieve that (I think I've only seen it from MKP, Maru and Jjakji lately), while the numbers of protoss players, getting their deathball together to steamroll over the terran seem to be unlimited. | ||

So could you give me couple games from last months where terran wins max engagement so I could study them ? | ||
