So they want you to play Mech with Bio units...which would be Bio. No, they want you to play mech with mech units, but to also sprinkle in some ghosts for emp which is crucial vs immortals | ||

Not care to much for the ghost change TBH. When i make em and they have walked to the main army i have the emp ability 90% of the time available. But he always having extra snipe is not bad. These proposed changes will not do much for mech use vs protoss. I think this only can be done by giving tank a added damage to shield. not change anything in tvt and tvz match up. If we can make this somehow work and balanced this would give terran two different ways to play instead of the standard MMM style. Buffing the tempest to help vs SH i think is wrong way to go. Do something with the SH itself. Make it not possible to rally SH so you have to select them yourself every time. Hydra buff is huge to be honest. its like making marauders 25 minerals cheaper. I think it would be good idea to go back to oracle before the speed buf as the reason to make oracle more useful for late games has not happened since release just make early game much more powerful. Also go back to the original WM so bio stil viable style vs zerg with now also mech being much more prominant in the TvZ match up. We need to give zerg something to be stronger vs Air. As i am not zerg player not sure what is best Hydra added range to air? or more damage? Or make corrupters bit stronger? Also would be great if SH will not make to super late boring game style vs protoss and zerg in super late game. Make SH more difficult to micro somehow or just redesign the unit. I generally enjoy the TvT match up and TvZ match up but with TvZ only thing that i personally have a really hard time with is mutas. Feel that when mutas massed to good numbers they do insane amount of damange so fast and regen is so strong just slowly die to them. Turrets not cost efficient. Thor very slow mines sometimes you get lucky but generally good zerg does not lose his mutas to WMs. Somehow forcing the zerg to engage main army with mutas not happen unless your on other side of map and possible already lost 1 expansion. What i am against is the trend to make all units fast and faster. Anyways love the game and will always buy every blizzard game coming out. hope TvP wil become better | ||

It's really a dumb unit, it's stupidly easy to use and rewards massing it too much. It's mildly more interesting than the corruptor, but that's about all the good things that can be said for it. | ||

Tanks are actually good enough vs colossi that you only need to add in vikings when they go 4+ colossi. The clumping of colossi actually benefits tanks that deal splash and the immortal issue is more related to their shields rather than their damage. I also find VRs to be the only air unit of P that does not rape mech, viking kiting + HSM + emp deal with vrs really easily. | ||

Tempests and carriers are a much bigger issue. Just check how Stats scouted Supernovas mech play and proceeded to own him 3 gate carrier amove style 2 games in a row. I think the protoss ground army could be fine against mech if tanks did full damage to archons. Right now the combo of archons/immortal is just ridiculously strong, and having to build a huge number of ghosts to counter it means the air switch will be ready once you have them assuming the toss didn't kill you with a timing attack. | ||
