WoL was certainly not balanced for long stretches of time and it's still early doors. Generally speaking there a lot of overly simplistic mantras about waiting and buffing everything. The patch was granted because finally blizz thought that protoss was underperforming so no things weren't fantastic If you wanted to criticize design nexus cannon and the boost would be the first things to look at. Anyway don't want to take away too much of Rabiator's shtick. Just gonna dream for the day some inde developers decide to do an rts. edit: Damn that 3. | ||

I believe we're talking about the patchzerg era, where the reasonable amount of balance was utterly upset and WoL left in a state of insane imbalance for it's last 6 months. 6 months is pretty significant (about a quarter to a fifth of WoL's lifespan) and from that we can see that Blizzard really doesn't have a good track record for responding fast. | ||

Rofl 30 production facilities. i guess we talkin 40 minutes in the game here. your argument is now invalid since everyone will have the warp prism speed at that point. This change doesn't even affect what you are talking about. | ||

Well in WOL terran had crappy harass options in the early game vs zerg cause mass queens completely shut them down in HOTS terran has reapers and widow mines which are actually decent at harassing zerg so the queen range doesn't really matter in HOTS | ||

That was mostly because of infestors, not queens. Sure, the queens allowed them to more safely get to that point, but with infestors like they are now it wouldn't have been such an issue. | ||

This has no effect whatsoever, only makes warp prism all ins better. Imo a 50/50 or 25/25 upgrade cost for warp prism speed would be better | ||

Because Aliguac shows Terran having a win rate of 53% versus Protoss and 54.4% versus Zerg. In fact, since HOTS was released, they haven't been below 50% in either indicator. http://aligulac.com/reports/ In fact, all of the same indicators that people like Ver pointed to (in his Lings of Liberty thread) that showed how good Zerg was at the end of WOL (despite Terran dominating the first 3/4's of WOL) now point to Terran doing the best. | ||
