EPTon top of that terran has free chrono boost and scan.......... rift is such a useless ability because protoss needs to spend all their energy on chrono. and it costs so much to get the nexus upgrade as opposed to an orbital, terran instantly gets their investment back by dropping an scv

So in the end it pretty much comes down to "I TT1 know how good gameplay has to look like and you all are stupid cause you don't do/ agree with what i am saying." , mhm seems legit. I am not sure why you are in rage mode at the moment, but maybe you should calm down first and then start arguing about stuff? | ||

It's good feedback for the devs. And more generally, I think now is definitely the right time to consider balance, but only after a lot of experience. I don't know how many games TT1 has played, but I also can't assume he is making a rash judgement. Take it for what it is: his opinion. So TT1, can you elaborate? Also, let's assume there is an imbalance between the orbital and nexus upgrades. Does some other difference between toss and terran make up for it? | ||

Vultures in Starbow are more overpowered than their brood war counterpart. I quit playing Protoss solely because of Vultures in the mod. When you look at Overcharge with terran its a little overpowered to begin with when you have reactors on top of that. So either overcharge needs to be removed, or Vultures need to be nerfed in the aspect of output damage and mine speed. TT1 is without a doubt correct in this aspect and I support what he says in this matter. | ||

"Are there any plans to work on the balance of vultures and mines at the moment? They're much faster than other units, and mines seem to always trade cost efficiently. Also, if you don't have an observer with your army you're guaranteed to lose dragoons to mines. There seems to be a something off about the amount of skill it takes to lay mines vs the requirements for a protoss army to be successful against them. I'm also concerned with what seems to be an imbalance between orbital abilities and nexus abilities. For one, it's much more cost efficient for terran to upgrade to an orbital vs protoss upgrading the nexus due to regaining the investment almost immediately with an scv calldown. Further, terran seems to be able to utilize all of the orbital abilities throughout the game while protoss has to spend most of the energy on chrono boosts to keep up, making rift useless for much of the game. I understand you're doing the best you can considering this isn't your job so I hope you get a chance to look into my concerns soon! <3 Much love to the dev team, TT1" | ||

I never gave any balance suggestions cause i know i am just not good enough, so i agree with you that regarding balance mostly top lvl players should give their thoughts. That doesn't mean that other people can't discuss certain aspects though, i for one still think that smartcasting is a pretty bad idea, what do you think about that? And what exactly would happen if every korean would play starbow right now btw, would you then stop whining cause you are relatively bad compared to them? Edit: Ah and to not only be negative about you and your posts, gl tomorrow | ||
