Pretty disappointing that they removed the medivac healing upgrade but leave the other races with lategame buffs + new stuff. Yea late game getting even harder wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. It's funny, with that medivac boost I was still a little disappointed that we had to play exactly the same way as in WOL, but at least it was a little better. Then they moved the upgrade to the useless BC building. Then they took it away. What a cruel joke this has all seemed like. | ||

It seems that the dev team will not add a new terran unit so I think they should some Fusion Core upgrades. Something like a 250\250 120sec upgrade that decrease the building time of all units by 15% (except SVCs). That way Terran can remax faster and dont lose to the next warpin or zerg remax after a close and even battle. | ||

lets put it this way, if you were to turn pro and you knew that your absolute skill potential was ~low tier code A/ decent but not great foreigner, what race would you choose? Absolutely not terran if you hope to have any reasonable success. If you knew that your skills were going to be among the best there is, then would you choose terran? Now that is a definite possibility. The strength of terran is that its a extreme double edged sword. Terran played at its absolute perfection is at least slightly superior to zerg perfection and infinitely superior to protoss perfection. However, anything less best performance with terran leads to a very steep drop off in success, if your not literally at the top of the food chain, a Terran player is not going to have as much success relatively to the other races. | ||

Also by large terran will have the largest army out of all races when game gets to 3+ bases since mules replace scv's to an extent. If your going to try an argue your point dont try to exaggerate to get your point across...it doesnt work oops, I honestly thought it was 50s... I have no need to exaggerate, it's commonly thought that Terran has the most punishing mechanics. As for your point about mules, are you honestly trying to say that a slightly larger bio army is going to beat bl/infestor or destroy a T3 toss army followed by a wave of 20 zealots every time? Protoss and Zerg have the strongest late game armies, Terran definitely does not. | ||

The Ultras are really hard to deal with in HotS right now, not sure if it is worse than when they had the burrow-charge haha. | ||

Simply nothing can beat the right mixture of maxed and fully upgraded battlecruisers, siege tanks, thors, banshees, ghosts and vikings. Problem is just, how to get there. You simply can not get that comp unless the map is one like Metropolis. Terran being the hardest to play is old news, has been since the huge fungal buff really. If memory serves outside of Tfunks win at DHO:stockholm last year where he only played shitty zergs(Hardest was probably monster who is a B-teamer from MVP) the last foreign terran to win a tournament was Naama winning DHW 2010? There is a reason there are very few foreign terrans doing anything. | ||

People seem to forget just how hard it is to muta/ling/bling and are now assuming that zerg is just faceroll because theyre winning. Have you seen JD I think he might keep his energy that low | ||

For me, as a platinum player, its really hard to kill all of them before they can land one storm and if they land 1 or 2 you are basicly dead. Sure the pros can dodge snipe emp and will not miss, however I will miss sometimes or not pay attention to my army for 2 seconds. Well hopefully they'll buff the tanks some more and with widow mines for better map control they could make mech more viable . I think mech is viable at the lower levels in TvP in WOL also . I got to diamond once farely easy meching in all 3 MUs , so you could try that :D . | ||

Was too frustrating and i could not play regularly enough for my hands to be at the level of my mind. This problem might be encountered with other aces too ( some friends also stopped because of that) but it seems terran is the most punishing with bad/medium unit control :p | ||
