I love these, i love that every time, a few weeks later everything turns out to be wrong and meta shifts and players figure out how to deal with "broken" units and abilities, this fucking community man, i swear

Well, to be fair, Protoss had been quite strong for about 6 months of 2014 with virtually no Terran wins, so it wasn't exactly a balance whine. Similarly, Protoss has had a rather interesting relationship with liberators throughout all of 2016. Protoss has never quite figured out how to deal with sieged liberators except with mass tempests and catching the Terran out of position.

Though if you look at the winrates and tournament results from June 2014 - February 2015, PvT is below 50%, and Protoss gets very few wins (from tournaments starting June 2014 or later).

That's because the only way to deal with a siege unit is to catch it out of position or to outrange it. If a siege unit could be dealt with otherwise, it would be pretty worthless.

Game will end up being ZParcraft II again in like 2 months after people realized they jumped the gun on nerfing Terran rather than "adapting" as they tell Terrans to do.

I'd imagine when you hear people telling you to adapt it's because you're forcing yourself into a suboptimal playstyle

You guys spent a year refusing to adapt to ultras until blizzard finally said ok fine we'll nerf ultra armor... I don't think you really have room to talk about other races not adapting. The winrates were in your favor too but you still complained.

The other siege units like Brood Lords, Disruptors, Tanks, Colossi, or Lurkers would disagree. All of these can be dealt with without necessarily outranging or out positioning them, and they are far from useless (admittedly the Brood Lords tend to have less usability).

Broodlords can be dealt with? What does Toss have that deals with broodlords? If you say the tempest, please provide some replays where you personally dealt with broodlords with them. I'd love to see it.

If you can say that about broodlords, then you can say that about liberators, because they own the ground even more than liberators. I'd love to see some replays. Personally, the only thing that works is attacking before they have broodlords or hoping you're playing a gigantic map, so can run around like a pathetic coward.

The tempest is useless. Give me vortex back. They could remove so many Toss units from this game without me caring. Still waiting for something new/good vs Terran. Nerfed HotS Toss vs improved LotV races. Thrilling.

Liberators are not exactly slow, and they're supported by bio. You can't exactly blink behind them or whatever because then marines instantly gun down all your shit. It's the combination of REALLY mobile bio and Liberators that fucks Protoss.

Terran has space control AND DPS AND mobility. Like.. wtf. How is anyone even surprised T dominates P right now.

Widowmines are also very effective zoning tools. They prevent the Protoss from outmaneuvering the bio and blinking into the liberators' blind spot. So the combination of highly mobile bio and liberators in combination with widowmines make most engagements against liberators very difficult. And this was why Protoss would go mass tempest, because then Terran had the opposite problem of being unable to engage into mass tempest, though with the tempest low dps and speed, it was very possible to catch tempest out of position.

Why aren't liberators slower, by the way? With the incredible siege power they grant, along with being able to harass and defend well.. having that high of a speed seems like questionable design, i.e. you don't want units that are really good in too many areas.

Not saying they are warhound-levels of bad design, but yeah. Btw this isn't really meant as a "terran OP" balance whine, more as a "divert power from the liberator to some other terran unit" suggestion.

A very good question, I'm going to lock it right now .
This thread had a good run but I think we should let it rest
