TvZ is as problematic as TvP. If you take away MSC then P dies hard to drop harassment at all stages of the game. In TvZ you can´t really buff zerg units, because you will fuck up PvZ with it and if you take away anything from terran, then they´ll get rolled here too.
These problems can´t be solved by a single change. We need a somewhat gamechanging package of changes to all 3 races to solve these issues. You won´t get a balanced game by changing a single unit!

Well atleast on the pro level I think changing +3/+3 upgrade requirement will be enough to shift the balance quite a bit. You can see the meta is basically T hits 2/2 and then just suffocates the zerg until 3/3 is done, then zerg is screwed. That isn't to say I wouldn't love a bigger change for TvZ since I miss marine tank a lot, but I don't think a big change is needed to shift the balance.

there are several things blizz can do to fix this. there are small fixes that just balance winrates or big fixes that fix balance AND bring back fun with more viable comps and harrass for all races. small fixes could be +3 +3 on IP + planetary nexus nerfed. both would mean TvP lategame stays a mess with P being favored but T can do more early and midgame damage + TvZ would be more balanced but still be MMMM vs ling bane muta every game while TvP MMMVG every game.
big fixes would include buffs to ZvT hydras, SHs, BLs, vipers, infestors, ovidrop, nydus, snipe, BC/raven transition, tanks, thors, tempest redesign, oracles etc.
even bigger changes would be designchanges and new units like warpgate redesign, introducing lurker etc. which wont come until LotV.

There you see the state of the game. Protoss!
|
Buffing raven BC is really the way to go in TvP imo as they are both underused in all 3 MU and could be a fearsome army late game for Protoss.
|
Solution:
Remove Warpgate Upgrade or double the Cooldown. --> Protoss can still use warpgate to resupplly but not as fast.
Protoss still can produce units from gateways and sit back (as they mostly dow now anyway f they not all in).
Weakens immortal all in, gets rid of fourgate/threegate aggression. Less all in more macro = more nice games.
T has to play aggressive and spread out the protoss, but with nexus cannon/recall/warpin/cannons, its not worth sending2-3 Vital Medevacs with even more vital units into uncertain figths. Protoss can sit on 2 base double forge colossus, if your drop fails, good luck holding back the 3 colossus past 1-1 pushout with 4 vikings at your nat.

I can't really see how skyterran could become viable in TvP (against feedback, tempests and voidrays) without making it utterly imba in TvZ. As a final transition, skyterran makes more sense when you go mech first, so fixing mech would be the very first step. After that .... 
|
In WoL with mech TvP I went skyterran as lategame transition. In HotS? No, or better said, hell no. If the toss has some templar then sky toss is simply so much better than skyterran. For that to happen the tempests attack vs massive needs to be heavily nerfed first. But right now battlecruisers are way to hardcountered by tempests. The better voids you could deal with, but as soon as PDDs are gone your battlecruisers will melt away.
And tbh I don't think there is much reason not to nerf tempests attack vs massive. Or better (wishfull thinking) redesign the entire units. It is boring to watch a group of tempests shell everything from extreme range. At the very least also its range could be nerfed. Sure let it outrange broods/colossi. But it doesn't need to kill them from the other side of the map. (Thank god they don't have beta range anymore).
|
Late game Terran tech needs a boost to make TvP more interesting.
I always thought it would be cool if Battle cruisers were buffed by giving them a hyperdrive tech that let them warp to any place on the map (long cool down). It would be like Battlestar Galactica. The Adjutant would say "jump" like the Hybrids in BSG when you activate the ability.

making raven and BC immune to Feedback could be a start

I wonder if they could toy with making the Hive morphing time a bit less.

ppl did that for years, pretending zvp wasnt utterly disgusting cuz ppl could immortal allin

Haha the new units are causing the supposed "problems."
TvZ Problem = Widow Mines
ZvP Problem = Super Healing Undying Mutalisks
PvT Problem = MSC

And by making 3/3 harder to obtain you're essentially buffing double forge builds in PvT. 3/3 timings from Toss become even stronger.

I was talking about in the other direction, to reduce the requirement of Z upgrades, since +3/+3 for both T and P don't require an extra building, but Z requires 2(that aren't even done at same time). I don't really think it will change that much in ZvP, since hive tech is a lot more desireble in ZvP anyway.
