EPTWhat has changed from there that these spells are giving problems? My guess would be the clumping, smartfire, and smartcast.

No, did someone mass 15+ queens every game just to ensnare? No. Every game zergs get mass infestor and protoss gets sentries so they can force field. There is a huge difference between the bw related spells and the sc2 ones, the sc2 ones are used 99.999% of the games and are massed, there aren't just a few but normally 6-7+ minimum. | ||

As far as tjhe massing goes, I think it's stupid too. You know what prevented massing in SC1 was the relational value of minerals and gas, and how hard it was to get. One geyser per base was standard. money maps gave 2 geyers per base. Why they picked up a nonstandard map design to base SC2 around, I will never know. | ||

If you can't hold a ramp against marines then they will win every game. Give them a bit or armour? That way they can be broken, but only by marauders and roaches, and not by marines. If that fails, nerf marines - everyone happy  | ||

The abilities you mentioned required control of 2 different units instead of 1. 2. Ensnare was a slow. Not a stun. 3. Neither of those brood war units could just drop an army where ever you choose while being burrowed. | ||

Slow instead of stick in place. Defiler can't make an army. Queen can't make an army. There's nothing alike between 2 different spells on 2 different units with MUCH different affects and... fungal. | ||

If that fails, nerf marines - everyone happy ...you do realise how strong roaches can be when you're not rushing Immortals for an all-in? And that its only possible to hold certain roach-backed pressures and all-ins (especially against FFE) by liberal use of extra cannons and forcefields? Not to mention how painful concussive Marauders are early game vs Protoss already. If they're not armoured, Terran wins every game with a Marine-based all-in. If they ARE armoured then Zerg and Terran win every game with Roach and Marauder all-ins. Marines aren't the only problem here, and Protoss is hugely reliant on forcefields in the earlygame. | ||

people that actually have a brain already know this. they will never touch forcefield. That will trigger the ultimate shit-domino effect. they'd have to redesign almost the entire game. | ||

" protoss can micro more then zerg i dont realy find a valid point." It IS a valid point. "not just 3 basicly the same races with only different units. i kinda like this." Except it should be this way. Not terran has to hit a mid game timing or lose. Not that protoss has to micro perfectly or lose. And most definitely not that zerg has to HOPE protoss doesn't micro perfectly or lose. I cannot beleive i have to actually spell this out for you, everyone understands your point.. the 3 races shouldnt be different in that way, the original guy KNEW that they were different in that way and he LIKES IT THAT WAY. You failed to understand what he was saying due to your lack of reading comprehension. The fact you didnt understand after my last post leads me to beleive you are either really young or just very, very dumb. | ||
