You give a decent unit in the Adept a crackling upgrade at Twilight Council. Actually it's 45% and Adrenal Glands is 40% and they even talked about nerfing Adrenal Glands in an earlier community update.. Also it's 100/100.. | ||

Over and over again this was reiterated. But then blizzard made a clever PR move, introduced weekly feedback threads and suddenly if you gave negative feedback you were a hater and trying to kill the game. Yep. All these updates read like a politician's PR press release. It seems like calling people 'negative,' and a 'hater,' or a 'balance whiner,' are the SC2 version of racism or sexual misconduct accusations are for politics - a way for people with no good arguements to shut down debate while maintaining the appearance of moral high ground. Large corporations and their politics are very similar to governments and their politics. Nobody wants to rock the boat. | ||

If he didn't make the design he at least decided what was good and what not. | ||

It'd be much better to have them counter adepts/zealots and marines than what they currently counter. They'd still do well against tanks if you got in close, but they'd also be better against bio which to me is more interesting personally. Definitely, lurkers should probably do extra damage against biological (?) units. | ||

If they're worried about bunker rushes, they can just make it so that it's an ability that unlocks upon building an armory and/or engineering bay. | ||

Individually upgrading bunkers would have to be early game, and then, it wouldn't even solve one of the biggest problems: Terran has almost no way to defend satellite expansions once you get to 5+ bases. PFs don't stop harass, and that's what gets you at that stage. We can't possibly have enough supply at these bases while still defending pushes, executing harass, or pushing effectively. I would love to see some mid--nah, fuck it. Make the shit late game, I don't care. Just some form of anti-ground static defense structure. Bunker Ideas Make the neosteel frame upgrade put an AG-only turret on the bunker. Come on, guys. Or, maybe the neosteel frame bunker gives Turrets a transformation ability, so they can transform into an AG-mode (kinda like entering and exiting siege mode, or defender mode, or hellbat mode). I don't think any buff or modification to Terran's static defense should be accessible during the bunker-rush stage of the game though. Cheese like that is really more of a Protoss thing ; ) | ||

It's going to be a whole new match up. I hope pros figure out something stable. For both sides. I forsee this change making T heavily favoured. But let's see what it brings. And what happens to the matchup in the first few weeks. There might be undeveloped BS options  | ||

And what happens to the matchup in the first few weeks. There might be undeveloped BS options The warp prism will still be incredibly strong, it just won't be broken-level OP, like it is now with the Adepts. Though, like many have suggested, the Adept's shade could be the culprit (but it's too beefy and the DPS is too good for that stage of the game, I'd say). We'll see what happens. Because once Protoss starts building Tempests, things get tricky for Terran real quickly.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/20418543041 We just wanted to quickly update you guys on a few things before the weekend: 1. We agree with your feedback on PvT. 2. Siege tanks going back to tank mode when picked up by Medivacs does seem to be a solid suggestion. We agree with you that Siege Tanks gaining mobility did take away from what the unit is by design, and also agree that this change played the biggest part in making mech not viable in TvT. We can definitely add this to the next balance test map. 3. We're currently aiming for next week to release the balance test map. 4. We would love to get everyone's help in aggressively testing these changes so that we can quickly turn around a balance update as early as the week after next. Thank you for keeping the discussions really focused on the most critical topics this week! | ||

We can definitely add this to the next balance test map. FIXED IT: 2. We realized we forgot to nerf Terran. *slaps forehead* Silly us! So, seeing as how many in the community think Tanks might need some love, we decided to nerf them extremely hard. We're hoping this helps with the only balanced matchup Terran has, TvT. See, since we love micro so much, we decided we wanted to double, triple--even quadruple!--the numbers of clicks required to not get utterly pwnd by bile, disruptors, and anything else targeting the tanks. Thanks for your solid suggestion on this. On a more serious note. If this is the route we're taking, Blizzard, please consider the following: (1) Nerf firing time after landing (while still sieged) to match the time it takes to siege. (2) Make it so a tank picked up in siege mode, unsieges in the medivac (hiding it) but then automatically sieges when you drop it. Yes, doom drops suck in TvT, but losing your tanks from free in TvZ and TvP sucks a lot worse. And if this is the route we're going, medivac micro is already pretty intense. Let's not add two clicks for every dropped tank. The micro burden will be too high. | ||

Now they just need to do non-stackable Parasitic Bomb, something that the community have also been suggesting for a God awful long time.. and Chrono Boost, fix Chrono Boost.. PLX Kim | ||
