WoL at the end Terran was insanely UP almost to the point where you were wasting your time playing the game as Terran. Nerfing the mine into the ground so people will make tanks will just make tons of terran's quit or switch races. Nerf the mine and hellbat into the ground (like every toss and zerg players wants.....big suprise! lol) and you have WoL terran (which was already terrible at the end) and a toss and zerg that are much stronger due to new ultras, new mutas, mothership core, SH, new void ray, tempest, oracle, vipers. I think toss and zerg players especially are so used to just steam rolling terran that now terran is winning again it makes them angry. | ||

So our question here becomes “is this a good thing that Widow Mines have replaced Siege Tanks as the primary splash damage units?” We believe the answer is yes. When you see an army of Marines and tanks clash with a Zerg army, you pretty much know who will come out ahead, even before the battle. When you see an army of Marines and Widow Mines, it comes down to the skill of the players in that specific battle. I think he's pushing this point far too far. The difference in tank usage from low master to pro level is night and day, in terms of their usefulness on the map and in engagements | ||

And you're kidding right? terran dominated the sc2 scene for a good 2 years until the patchzerg era | ||

I see it in almost every TvZ I play that goes into late game. You just need to anticipate where your opponents units will be and aim it similar to the ghost. My point is all terran got was mines and hellbats......nerfing them both to the ground like most zerg and toss players want so they can get easy wins will make it WoL Terran against a buffed toss and zerg that got tons of things. | ||

Why doesn't he address this as well? Marines and Marauders address most of the issues Terran has. It isn't dynamic or exciting, but it has made Terran by far the most successful race in SC2. For this reason, David Kim has no reason to mess around with Mech. Clearly HOTS was a (near, HOTS lifecycle isn't complete) complete failure when it came to making Mech viable. All it ended up doing was killing the Siege Tank in TvZ and adding in Hellbats and Widow Mines to compliment Bio. | ||

So rather than dealing with the actual problems, they're having a look at fucking SWARM HOSTS?! Without swarm host/mass static defence, there is literally no way for Zerg to take on Protoss in the late game once they have their death army of colossus/ht/voidray. God damn it. | ||

Yes, now that fungal's a skill shot,no complaints can be made about a good fungal. And no one suggests that hellbats and mines to be rendered useless. It's just that it's a problem when zerg has to all in every game vs terran. Dont you think? | ||

I think they could try introducing more buffs as opposed to nerfs. Like something that will majorly shake up the game, such as Tanks getting +damage against shields, or stalkers having better upgrade scaling but longer blink cooldown. It would be really cool, especially the former which will make mech viable. If mech were viable, TvP as both a viewer and a player would be diversified so much, it would seem like an all new sc2. | ||
