Also the problem with mines isnt that you cant see them, its that you cant engage with a single unit, they are usually have an army attached to kill stray lings trying to set them off. Thay understand the effort required to defend is far greater than the effort needed to attack with biomine, basically you going to see alot of zergs in the red (supply blocked). Here is me thinking they might be subtle and change attack priority of unburrowed mines or maybe remove the speed burrow. Nope. | ||

Not that I'm complaining about buffs. But they're going in completely wrong direction. | ||

If so, I endorse your stim plan and part of my “Break everything because its awesome, platform.” Let all loaded units fire from within medvacs and call it "Gunship Armaggeddon Raaawwwwrrrrr". Also Thors should get suspenders, so they don´t get caught with their pants down in the middle of the map. Full power! | ||

The reason Mech is viable in TvT and not viable in TvZ and TvP is dumbass poorly designed hard counter units like the Immortal and Viper. Neither of those units need to be as good as they currently are vs Mech, each race has plenty of tools for dealing with Mech based playstyles without them, yet both of them make it so that the Mech player needs to severely outplay his opponent in order to win while maintaining the same immobile highly expensive army that if it dies once means an instant GG. Nerf the Hard Counters, watch Mech suddenly become viable. You don't need to buff anything when nerfs to specific things accomplishes that same job much better. | ||

I don't know about armory and vipers. It seems vipers will win you game right away or will be as bad as before. I wish they would try to make them little more useful in long run, not just make them gimmicky like this. And also ''zvt is balanced'', the most sad part about that post. | ||

They make the game worse, punish people for using units well and only limit the meta game. It is better to buff units to deal with the problems, rather than nerf ones people are already using. | ||

Why do they HAVE to make a certain playstyle a part of the meta? Because it makes no sense to continue to make bio units tvp once the protoss composition is specifically designed to hard counter it. It's like continuing to spam mutas against mass phoenix. The fact that you can still win with it if you try really hard is a testament to how good bio is. Ofc you can't just say "hey I counter you so I win lol" and have no alternative, so the development of mech play TvP is something that makes perfect sense. I fully endorse it. | ||

If you nerf these hard-counters another will take their place. By now there is a endless parade of units that can dismantle mech-play and Blizzard is not even willing to tackle the viper. You can only imagine how good the chances are for getting a whole series of nerfs. | ||
