Protoss players have been using PvP as an excuse not to nerf stupid stuff for some time now. PO comes to mind. One might argue that if PvP is only fine because of borderline broken abilities on a hero unit that also fuck up the other MUs, there are some deeper issues, but w/e. | ||

For hard hitting units like tanks even a seemingly small buff to attack speed is huge, that's why they reverted it from the originally proposed 2.7 to 2.8. If that buff made no difference as you claim, why would Bomber suddenly use bio tank not only as something he fondled with but as one of his main TvZ strats after the patch went through? Obviously that change was important enough to affect his gameplay Which is probably why he was already playing it 3 months before the buff? | ||

Seriously, the Terrans got stronger again lately, especially in TvZ and NOW they buff Terran? Why? And as a mediocre player, the new mines will make the matchup unplayable again, imo. :-/ (Although I agree that they shouldn't really care about lower leagues, it's still annoying :-P ) | ||

So you want Protoss to die to stim pushes every game? After watching Ryung vs Squirtle I definitely don't think PO "fucks up" other match-ups. Protoss isn't the flawed race here, Terran is. I can't be the only one who finds it ridiculous that Terran get away with making the bulk of their army in cheap tier 1 units that then get a DPS + Speed boost at the press of one button + healing from other units. Don't get me wrong, there are aspects of Protoss that are incredibly stupid (I'm looking at you Time Warp) but a race that is balanced entirely around a 50 mineral early game unit that does pretty much everything + cheap mine units that can decimate most things very cost effectively. Surely I can't be the only person in the world who thinks that's incredibly silly. | ||

I actually completely agree about the marine, and I wrote a fairly lengthy post about it in the pros' opinions thread. I think it does bad things to terran, and is holding the race back. As for PO, I strongly dislike it, it makes protoss too safe in the early game and removes a significant amount of options specifically for zerg to do anything creative or aggressive before you get a 3+ base economy. It feels too rewarding for its ease of use and allows bad play to go unpunished, much like recall. | ||

It almost requires the whole game to be balanced around it simply because it's a RANGED Tier 1 unit (the other 2 are Melee) available right from the beginning that remains relevant all game long due to stim and medivacs. | ||

First of all marines only become cost effective with good micro. Amove them like you do with zealots and they will die incredibly quickly. Secondly, marines suck ass against pretty much all Protoss high tech units: archons, templar, collosus. No matter how godly your marine micro is, marines will get slaughtered by these units. Yes marines, have high dps, but they are have low hitpoints, are slow, and cannot be warped in. Each race's tier 1 unit has its own strengths and weakness, but to claim that the marine is somehow overpowered is the most ridiculous crap I ever heard. | ||

Buff goddamn mech (Siege Tanks). That game with Bbyong vs. Classic was great on so many different levels. | ||
