1 Month later... Is Queen Range still too strong [TvZ]? -…

This thread is going nowhere and I'm tired of dealing with it. Either drop the personal attacks and whining and replace it with actual discussion or it'll be closed. 12:09 KST Page 98 | ||

Prepatch i had 45% TvZ winrate, it was also then my worst matchup, but then i could do pressure and kill bad zergs with Polt's hellion+medivac+marine timing attack and deny creep while doing it etc. Today i have played 11 games, 3-8 and TvZ is 0-7. Maybe in HotS zerg would require some skills in battle, instead of being "macro" race that only requires to hit injects. User was warned for this post | ||

Coupled with the small and shitty maps(Steps of War,Lost Temple(abusive siege tank position),Jungle Basin). Terran was really really strong back then.XD If i am not mistaken,wasn't BFH patched because of TvT mech?. I am pretty sure it is. Hi FakeDeath I was answering the quoted post, which revolved around BFH play. For your example with 5 rax reapers, I can only agree with you. And back in the time I personally was all for the stim nerf, and the bunker time change. Zergs were complaining about stim bio timings and 5 rax reapers, and the were 100% right there. If I'm not mistaken, the comments along with the patchnotes for nerfing BFHs stated that they caused trouble in TvT mech. And that was true in some ways. But the point in time when this patch hit, should have been short time after "SlayerS MLG". Which was quite shocking, cause this strategy caught everybody offguard. But my memory could trick me here, so maybe someone knows better and is willing to share his infos. | ||

how about giving vikings a 20 second buildtime? imbalanced? really in the state of free 3base zerg? I dont think so how about giving bc's a 40 second buildtime to contest ultras and make carriers 60 to compensate? how about making banshee/raven/voidrays 25 second buildtime? would zerg really have a problem with it against toss/terran? doesnt seem like it in these days of free 3base zerg theres other ways to fix tvz matchup than to revert the queen change | ||

Too much time 2 raxing, early bunkering, and other early game strats have hurt T players development as players You can't actually believe in this, can you? Tell me this: if ALL terran players were just doing early game shenanigans, then when did zergs learn to play lategame ZvT? You have to understand that whenever a zerg plays a lategame ZvT, a terran does the same. You cannot claim that one side has more experience dealing with certain situations. Oh, and terrans have tried to go pure macro "playing for the lategame"-style of play forever now. It doesnt work. | ||

You could have 5-6 voidrays when you pusy then, vs the terrans 10-15 slow immobile and weak marines... | ||

 .Can't really say anything about the balance since I'm not a pro, but it's pretty clear hellion openings are way worse then they used to be. | ||

Not that it takes away from your point, but most people still have trouble understanding that building things 50% faster does not mean they complete in half the original time. | ||

Queens still only tickle! Seriously, why bother quoting such bull****t? Idra's been a whiner since 2010 and ofcourse hes not satisfied until zerg is at 100% winrate and he wins 3 GSL's and 2 MLG's minimum. Oh and queens weren't meant to kill, just destroy hellions and turn the whole map into Char (100% covered in creep) and roll inject the hatcheries so the zerg can then pump out mass ultras and destroy everything in the way. Sorry if I sound cynical but this is how it is, and this is how it will be unless blizzard revert the queen change/buff terran. | ||

Did you follow this thread? Because there were people here who actually posted the queens stats. I would recommend you to take a look at costs in relation to unit health an dps. Maybe you would be surprised about the strenght of the queens "tickle". | ||

This is coming from a zerg player. The problem isn't the Queen. It is that Queen buffs allows zerg to reach the lategame much easier and faster and more safer which zerg excels at the lategame that terran has trouble dealing with. To compete with zerg lategame, i think Terran could used a bit of buff at their late game units(Ghost,BCs especially,Ravens). Though i dunno how this will affect TvP. | ||

It makes it waaay too easy to get to the late game. | ||

i will do a 1rax expand every game and once i scout the toss is not expanding drop a ton of raxes and murk the voidrays easily. even if warpgates could warp in voidrays they would still suck against terran Only to see he went fast colossus on 1 base. You should at least scan his base once before putting down the raxes to make it a bit realistic. Annyway:Agree mostly with your points, building times of other then tier 1 units are definatly an isue for protoss and terran. We cant make 6 starports or 6 robo bays, its way to expensive and so you left with the problem of production time in the end game | ||

If Terran had a late game there wouldn't be an issue. Terran needs buffs all around, BCs need buffs, ravens need a buff in terms of cost, ghosts need to not be useless as fuck. Something needs to happen because that is the problem in all our match-ups, we have no late game. TvP is not imba nor is it balanced either. It's just you have to avoid the lategame cause we have none. Give Terran a lategame army. Buff the T2.5 and T3 units. Make them worth using. That's what the solution should be. | ||
