I do kinda miss tanks vs zerg but I also agree with not changing anything yet. Hots is a great game.

Terran needs the widow mine.

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.

zerg was hard to play against bc of the infestor, so now wouldn't be as bad now that infestors are as worthless as shit.

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


I think you should just stop. You are making yourself look stupid.

I hope that they are not discussing hellbat nerfs simply because the perceived imbalance is not yet mature.

This too shall pass

Blizzard are always talking about nerfing units and only rarely thinking about buffing them.

Well that said the muta problem was attempted to be solved through buffing the spores so I want more of that approach. I'd prefer to see them modify corruption on corruptors or something over nerfing the voids.

Infestor is hardly "worthless as shit." 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.


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?

In which world does zerg, a race with a much, much stronger late game than terran, have to allin versus terran every game? Don't base your whines off Innovation's TvZ, no one else in the world, except maybe Flash, can pull off that kind of micro.

This lacks consistency. Don't nerf Widow Mine because it provides constant action and undecisive battles. Don't nerf VR either because it causes insta win for the toss or 50 minutes long games with very few / repetitive action...

I feel like both units need to be change because they "lock" the gameplay in their own way.

WM prevent tactical moves such as siege tank positionning but also mech upgrade timings or simply waiting the right army number for moving out. They also require very few micro from the terran. There is also no point in questioning oneself : "Should I build a widowmine or save the money for something else" because they are very cheap and its always a good idea to build them.

VR prevent any kind of timing play from the zerg and forces the game to be muta corruptor harass based with no other true game plan / a split map situation with swarmhost corruptors and vipers.
Worst is that after sOs s game everybody on the ladder starts to plays this kind of style, split map games can be fun but I hate being forced in a specific play without the possibility of doing anything else. Even with a big skill difference. Very frustrating.

Why should it be viable? Apart from the panting longing for BW Mech?

Terran also has a unit that can be produced in multiple numbers that is able to destroy Protoss shields. And now you want another? Which already also does considerable damage, especially to armoured on top of that? Think about it for a while, and you'll see why it's another one of those ideas that sound nice, but are really, just more than a little silly.

Clearly colossi shouldn't deal splash damage, protoss has templar for that.

"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 spit out my drink when i read this.

They think the reason you don't know how a widow mine related battle will turn out (in relation to tank/thor) is because of the terrans ability to apply SKILL????

The widow mine hits (unless microd with a trick thats almost never used even by innovation) a random (from the terrans point of view) target that can either kill one zergling, or like infinity banelings. How in gods name is that a more skill intensive result than siege tank target fire??????

Because we want to diversify play? Is that wrong? Would you like to be back in the days when protoss had to go robo every game or die instantly? Saying that marauders take that role is stupid: would you go marauder/tank? Units that have different upgrades?

I'm no terran player, but it's obvious that bio and mech are completely different playstyles. While bio players want constant harass and aggression, relying on micro and mechanics to stay on even footing, mech players utilize decision making and positioning to a greater extent. By allowing mech against protoss, you make the game more interesting.

Let's ask a different question: why are you so violently adverse to the idea of making mech more viable? Apart from the panting longing for ladder points against terran?

Well, everything boils down to the three broken mechanics of sc2 either way (warp gate, larva inject and mule) ...

warp gate gives the protoss instant reiforcement, larva inject let the zerg create new armies instantly and mule let the terran have better economy then the other races(less workers needed for the same eco as the other races). These mechanics is all imbalanced given certain situations which makes for flimsical gameplay.

on topic though I can not see how widow mines require as much skill to use as to play against. Only real microing that can be going is reburrowing, retargetting is not something any good terran can do without neglecting something else. Maybe you can retarget 1-3 wm in battle but that is pushing it (if all terran did so every battle would be bad for the zerg).
Reburrowing just make the terran tantrum from beta that zerg should bait widow mines shots with a few lings obsolete or not as great.

On a side note the most boring match-up is ZvP to play on ladder, the toss either does some weirdass all in with 1 or 2 bases Or they sit on there asses while getting void rays then 1-a at some point unless you hit a nice hydra timing. Just a ridicolous match-up right now. Widow is less random then the toss cheeses imo.
