While I share the opinion (and I think nobody can disagree with it) that there is an issue with Terran at pro level, I'm definitely baffled by some of your arguments and skewed numbers just to prove your points. I am too lazy to list them in a neat way and I think you are perfectly aware of what you are doing. There is really no need to do that to make your statement.

You are neither helping the cause (something must definitely be done for Terran, and I personally don't believe boring campfest mech is the key) nor promoting a healthy behaviour on forums and ladder. So many players already assume they lose because their race is weak, not because they are terrible at SC2 (regardless of whether it be true or not, it is just not the right mindset).

I'm enjoying less and less playing ladder and reading forum, twitter and stuff about SC2, not because the game is not fun anymore, but because the number of bad mannered jerks increased. It's becoming irationnal and this is fueling their self-entitlement.

The longest balance whine of all time. A shorter article explaining that Terran has been overnerfed since the early days of HotS (when it was really strong) would have been enough.

Then again, and as a Protoss player, I'd really love oracle speed to be reverted -would alas need the balance team to be able to admit they made a mistake- and e-bay requirement for turrets to be removed. By the way, I've always wondered : would it be totally broken if the widow mine damage was 160 / 80 / 40 / 20 straight and not that lame 125 + 35 / 40 + 40 / 20 + 20 / 10 + 10 (+against shields ?). Just asking, because of how obvious it is Terran has no good aoe against Zerg.

Why?

Because of most of it is opinionated crap and it promotes balance whine culture which is going to fill other threads and ladder with more people who think they know everything.


It is opinionated, but calling it crap is a stretch.

Really?

"soO a-moves a bunch of ultras offcreep, with Queens and out of mana Infestors lagging behind; several screens of hit & run later, 2 ultras fell for 70 supply of bio. Zerg's micro requirements in this sequence? Null: hands lifted from keyboard would have made literally no difference.

The disparity in micro required for each side in this situation is clear as day. You can see Maru microing his heart out of his units; meanwhile, Zerg is perfunctorily casting some useless ITs and a Fungal (25) ; only after 10 seconds does Jaedong awake to shift focus a few Medivacs with his mutas. Jaedong's awful engagement is left unpunished: cost-wise, Terran traded 1:2, but too few remains and supplies are even after the reproduction. Unless the fight takes place near one of Zerg's bases, Terran has no way to immediately capitalize on a won battle.

Is the reverse true? Alas, no: if Terran blunders and takes too bad of an engagement, the sanction is often immediate. "

Now run a zerg army over a widow mine field and have all your banelings blow up.
Terran doesn't even need to look at the screen and there's zero that the zerg can do to micro after he's already in range.

One specific example proves nothing.
Banelings into widow mines or tank shots or a misclick on a building, game over for zerg. Has happened.

Also, he wasn't microing that well. His units were still very clumped, making ultra damage super effective, and half his army was never shooting at the ultras. So yes, he was microing, but poorly relative to what you might expect from a pro SC2 terran.
And he let Soo get an ultra heavy late game army. And doesn't seem to have managed to target fire down a single ultra, again micro related.
It's like me saying as above that zerg has to micro against widow mines when the terran doesn't have to do much once they are placed. It's very situational.
HOLY CHECK!

What started as an interesting article ended up as balance whine. I stopped reading after you claimed there was nothing wrong with old mines in tvz. Really?

That was an exhausting but interesting read.

I think we have to wait till Legacy of the Void before there will be any major changes now.

holy cow. I guess the desolate (especially mental) state of Terran deserves articles like this one.

Hang in there :p

was gonna say thedwf is gonna love this then i saw the author LOL
I repeat, bio mine nerf was for variety concern, yet you are still not getting it
no one likes TvZ being one dimension, without mech or bio mech style

It has been obvious for a long time that Terran is too weak. My very favourite matchup is ZvT, but watching foreign zergs beat Korean terrans makes it difficult to enjoy it, and I watch less and less Starcraft nowadays.

I wish the culture was that players switched races more often. Classic proves that it can be done, and it would keep players from sticking with unfavoured races. I don't mind watching mirror matches.

You know what is funny? I saw this coming since they introduced HotS.
Byun knew this and left before things got bad.

I do agree that T needs a buff but a lot of this post is just heavy balance whining without real reasoning.

For instance, regardless of what you thought about Hellbat drops back then, the fact is they required a lot of multitask to be an efficient opening: toasting a bunch of Drones was of little use if you found yourself floating 1.2k minerals with no buildings launched after the action

as an example.

Thanks for pointing that out, you guys who think Terran needs to be on top again is stupid, Terran already had its prime, time for P&Z to have some glory, maybe terran will get some back in LOTS, but now it
