Imo photon overcharge and +1 range queens (to a lesser extent) were both bad design choices. I hate for terran to have any kind of skilless and boring click your cc and be safe for a minute crap. It would also make planetary fortess useless. Currently with pf, you trade economy for safety. If you can just upgrade your cc, it has zero drawbacks and gives the best of both worlds. | ||

Smart... What about doing something about the other terran tech tree - mech (at least in TvP, TvZ is quite fine) ? No word about it. Honestly, I feel that these proposed changes by David Kim are only dust in the eyes. | ||

In WoW, there was a character called the Warlock. He could win 2:1 and 3:1. But blizzard kept releasing balance patches. WoW has 10 classes but I saw as blizzard kept releasing buffs and nerfs. So what ended up happening was, people started playing Warlock when it was powerful but soon jumped to Hunter when that was proven to be powerful. One day I awoke to see that they were also doing the same thing to SC2." Reporter: I think you're referring to something other than balance. iloveoov: "Let's compare the two games; In SC1, they only released bug patches and was relatively untouched for ten years. We would do starleagues where at times there would only be one or two protosses. Terrans would occupy more than half the pool. If David Kim were there at that time he would have buffed protoss. That would have meant that we would have been without the exciting and awe-inspiring play of Bisu's prime. Protoss was the minority race and difficult. Thus, its play was given birth to by players like Reach and Nal_Ra. To be frank, I think it is David Kim who creates the winner when it is the gamer who must create the game. It doesn't matter what I say though; the truth is David Kim will keep on tweaking the game. I don't know what his true motives are. Is it to create a 5:5:5 of balance? I truly do not know." | ||

I get why they don't want to screw around with too much, but I don't know maybe nerf PO, increase the cost or something? | ||

And what about fixing the BROKEN stuff first, like overcharge and all the Protoss cheeses, instead of buffing things that are already good. Make bad things viable for Terran... mech is godawful to watch in sc2, it's just like protoss deathballs and swarm host turtles, which are one of the biggest things people complain about design wise... don't understand why anyone wants mech stronger mech would introduce severe concerns about raven/viking balance and mass turret/PF turtling. as it stands now, macro mech is vulnerable but in an acceptable state | ||

While what Oov is saying is correct I think there is enough history to show that Terran is statistically underpowered at the moment. The pre-WM nerf seems to have been the most balanced the game has ever been and I wish at that point they went hands-off. But I think right now we need some form of intervention. | ||

All Zerg and Protoss are so terrified of Terran mech being viable, because of what you say, the turtle style. Well, give us a test map and let's find out! It's idiotic to just assume things will be broken, I wish blizzard wasn't so scared to at least try. | ||

While I definitely think terran need buffs I strongly disagree that it should be on wm and medvacs, which they have changed multiple times since HotS-beta. Instead of focusing on purely staple units that we are forced into using almost exclusively since the mid game, focus on strengthening the tier 3 transition units so we don't have to play so damn aggressively with drops and wm. Terran isn't weak in the mid-game when we have use of wm and medvacs to take map control. My ONLY problem with balance is when despite trading very cost efficiently and playing with great mechanics (macro and micro), my "tier 3" army just getting trampled by the opposing tier 3 army despite having good control over the engagements. | ||

Honestly though, I think the most important thing would be to fix essential but boring units like the Roach, Marauder or Colossus. | ||

I am not sure if it is a unit thing, or a map thing, but you don't tend to see the same kind of activity it feels like. | ||
