It's pretty disheartning to watch majority (maybe it's the vocal majority I dunno) of terrans mentality. No wonder they lose on ladder. If you are convinced you're at a disadvantage at the get go, you've already shot yourself in the foot mentally. You'll never get anywhere at a competive level.

In my eyes the game seems more balanced than it's ever been. I've personally never ever complained, I've just followed the current meta game and I have faith that whatever imbalances that turns up a long the way will sort itself out in the long run. If the terran race truely needs a buff, I have faith it'll get one eventually. But let's see how the pros play it out from here.

btw, David Kim gets too much shit. He's a smart guy.

The problem I have with zerg from the Pro scene and matches that I've watched in tournaments, terrans ALWAYS have to pressure, I mean, you have to kill 10+ drones in of zerg to have a chance, and even than its not a guaranteed win, come and kill 10 scvs for terran in early game and see how far behind he is.

I'm so glad they've decided not to make any changes. I believe the best move at this point (not long before HotS) would be not to change anything. Blizzard has forced so many metagame shifts since release with their tweeks and some of these I wish blizzard would've just waited a little longer to see how they'd play out instead of pulling the trigger and attempting to people please. I'm just thinking back to the BW days where most discrepancies in win rates for certain match-ups were resolved by waiting for innovations from the players than from a forced change. Those magical moments are being somewhat stifled.

I think the main issue is, is that the vocal majority of other Terran players (not myself, who is now playing mech) are recreating exactly what it was like with zerg players at the time. People complained at zerg players to evolve and lower level zergs were apparently being stupid as FruitDealer was owning everyone, but back then all zergs were not fruit dealer and right now all Terrans are not Taeja.

I honestly think the best thing to happen is to have Terrans like Flash and Fantasy get good, like really good at the game. Flash with his crazy 13+ hours a day of practice will most likely get a mech style/bio style that'll revolutionize the matchup.

I know I keep mentioning mech, but I'm sure they'll get a bio style to suit them too. I just think mech will eventually become standard against zerg for some reason, or atleast more openly used than it is now (there's only a few TOP level terrans doing it).

In Fantasy I trust IMO.

this is a pretty accurate statement

and saddening because I'm hit at both times >_>

....was a zerg for the first 1-1.5 years of sc2, where complaining as zerg = whiner

and then switched because I felt the game was balanced enough, and cause I felt my multitasking would be better rewarded in terran

turns out more nerfs rolled out for terran and complaining as terran = whiner

ah well =.=

Finally, I mean FINALLY Blizzard will leave the game alone for some time and will leave the metagame to evolve by itself. Right now there are no clear imbalances in SC2 and there is no need for patches. Yes, zerg have slight advantage versus terran, but I think that this is metagame thing and have nothing to do with balance.

they should really make up their mind if they want to leave the game alone or leave the meta to evolve.

Lol I knew this was the reason i've been seeing more terrans on ladder over the past few months. Everyone loves to think they have da sikest multitasking.


On topic: I wish they would just nerf the Queen back to where it was before. Zerg were already too much like "1 size fits all" with regards to defending pressure - lings roaches and queens regardless of what type of attack is coming at them. Making the Queen even better than it already was just made them too good at defending early pressure and turned TvZ into the snoozefest it is now.

This guy has it right. SM is a mini nuke which is quite easy to use. Buff it by reducing the cost to at least 100 and you got yourself a deal.

Anyone else feel like Terran is the only race that ever has to "feel it out" like the 1/1/1 etc etc before they "balance" it... I don't mind the balance right now but using that as an excuse for one race but not all three really pisses me off.

The game doesn't look half as broken as it did when the other races waited for a fix. -.- More likely the lot don't understand the game.

Did you watch GSTL? It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

Also, last month Zerg had the second highest winrate vs Terran than any race x vs race y in the history of SC2 (which was Zerg again in ZvP in January. Terran overall winrate in July was lower than Zerg in any month of SC2 and there are fewer NA GM Terrans than the lowest of any other race in the history of GM's inception...

I don't want to be super competitive at this game. All I want to do is play a couple of times a week with my friends and stay competitive with them. None of them play Terran, and they've all "improved" on the ladder, while I have apparently gotten worse. Most of this is due to maps and the power of the other 2 races lategame.

I know the game isn't supposed to be finely balanced at my skill level, but it's pretty evident that, at best, there are huge imbalances at every level except the tip-top and razor thin balance at the top. At worst, Terran matchups need a boost at all levels. With Blizzard's gungho style with balance changes in the past (thors, ghosts, VRs, etc.), their decision to sit on the sidelines now is baffling and infuriating.

this thread is an abortion. every zerg posting here is just downplaying the HUGE imbalance so they keep their inflated patchzerg winrates, while every terran is begging for a balanced matchup, ie before last patch.

makes me sad, i used to love blizzard games.
