The only reason why KA didn't seem completely imbalanced when it was removed was because protosses were too busy making colossus instead, if it came back now terran could never push an advantage and drop play would be even harder to pull off that it is now. | ||

Current metagame : PvZ = The protoss must so some sort of allinn / play very greedy (playing greedy is almost impossible because of the queen range and overlord speed, Z can scout anything) ZvT = The terran relies on early pressure which is impossible because of the queen range. Allin also gets harder because of the overlord speed. TvP = Early - Mid game : Terran must do alot of dmg without loosing much of his own. Lategame: If you didnt do enough pressure you practically dead in the later stages .  Macro games are getting rarer and rarer on the ladder (Atleast for High masters league!)Also, all-ins from both sides are stupidly hard to hold in TvP. I saw Polt go proxy rax Marauders, get destroyed, expand really late with Banshee/Tank/Marine, lose most of his Banshees to Stalkers, then just mass units and because of the magic Tank/banshee/Marine composition still win even after losing his first whole army. On the flipside, 2base Protoss all-ins are ridiculous if you go for a macro game as Terran. If your strategic response and/or scouting is slightly off, no micro will save you because Forcefields disallow micro. Until splash damage is out, consistent aggression from Terran once medivacs and stim are out is nearly impossible to hold cost efficiently. After splash is out in high numbers (ie both HTs and Colossi, or just 5+ of either without the respective counter), Terran just can't trade cost-efficiently either. It's moronic. | ||

Making HT's feedack only work against psionic and Infestors fungal growth not work against air seems like the best suggestions so far. These "counter-all" units only makes for dull games since everyone just seem to build plenty of those units to get an "easy" win. Terrible idea. HT's that cant feedback medivacs are useless for dealing w/ drops. Infestors that can't fungal air would be detrimental since fungal also disables Banshee cloak, without that, zerg is unable to have somekind of mobile detection unless you have overseers everywhere. | ||

Storm should also uncloak units, because without that, Protoss is unable to have some kind of mobile detection, unless you have observers everywhere. | ||

Blink stalkers with some awarness can easily deal with drops, same way as terrans deal with drops really. | ||

Can understand they want to buff zerg a bit with the zerg expansion coming out but they overdoing it a bit imo. Still will never consider switching, love terran to much. "Storm should also uncloak units, because without that, Protoss is unable to have some kind of mobile detection, unless you have observers everywhere" you dont need detection everywhere lol, you only need it where your army is. and with the protoss army clumped up in 1 big ball 1 observer for detection should be enough (and 1 at your base maybe though cannons also detect..) | ||

If they could take a look at the design of Zerg and Protoss they would see that there is little room for creativity and micro, especially on the Protoss side. So instead of fixing Zerg and Protoss so that skilled players can really benefit from the race they decide to nerf nerf nerf Terran until the winrates become fairly balanced. Unfortunately, it isn't that easy and win rates aren't a good measure of balance at all. I find it kind of funny to be honest, when for the past months Terran have been struggling in both matchups but because Terran has skilled players like MKP, MVP, MMA, their unit control, mind games and multitasking are enough to overcome these difficulties. Compare this to foreign Terrans who do not have as much of these skills and its not surprising to see that foreign Terran is the worst race of them all. You have players like Huk, Sase, Naniwa, Mana, Grubby, Socke, Stephano, Nerchio, Ret, etc... who can compete against Korean players, when there are very few foreign Terrans who can do the same thing. For me that is a big indicator of the difficulty required to play them in this current state of balance. | ||

No wonder they complain about drops being impossible against Protoss. Meanwhile, all of us over here, in the real world, patch 1.4.3.2, will continue to leave Templar at bases with cannon support, and hoping we catch midgame drops with Stalkers before they unload. | ||

When there are no terrans left playing the game, then there will be cause for concern. Until then, keep practicing | ||

Either that, or you're just trolling. Do you play terran by any chance? Can you offer strategies for terran, since you clearly think terran is fine?

Seriously, if something isn't done by the end of the month, I'm jumping on the bandwagon to zerg. | ||

Playing T just feels dumb - if you win "wtf T imba" - if you lose "GG noob l2p" ... i agree that T had (and has) some timing windows during which they are quite strong - but going for a long game just doesn't make sense anymore ... | ||
