Much rather see mech units being viable in combination with bio play. Add diversity instead of an alternative. In fact, I'd love to see that with all the races. Going "this one composition that will be my unit comp until the very end" is pretty much the only thing that seriously annoys me currently. Tech switching and having multiple units available instead of just a few that I selected in the early game is the most exciting thing for me. | ||

Besides, blink stalkers DO well against marine tank. Pilipili got in a very clear winning position from those openings against ByuN, before he threw it. | ||

I can't think of a single game where I faced pure mech and thought "Well, that was fun" afterwards. Actually those are the most frustrating games, even if I win. So Even if balanaced, it's neither fun to watch nor to play against mech. Much rather see mech units being viable in combination with bio play. Add diversity instead of an alternative.

What do you think they will if mech remains unviable? raceswitch? learn bio? no, they will just quit. mech and bio play is like two different races. removing one of them is like removing protoss or zerg.. | ||

I really like robotic protoss units and would like to win games by only making robotic units but i can't, and it's frustrating that David Kim will not address this. | ||

Blizzard is likely to mess up big time and let the matchup broken for several months before they make mech viable (or likely revert to current state).Solid comment from the guy who is a fan of the Ultralisk w/ +2 armor, and who doesn't think it is a-move'ish at all. /s Maybe you could consider that mech doesn't have to be boring if tank is strong enough and you are spread over multiple bases?. | ||

Mech has never been that dominant in SC2, and if people are only able to play one composition they have issues in their play. It's as bad as the people complaining that Ling/Bling Muta should be the only viable Zerg comp ever. I'm not asking mech units to be bad, I'm asking that the playstyle of "pure turtly mech" should be avoided just like "pure turtly deathball protoss" should be avoided, and all similar playstyles. | ||

Tbf, positioning doesnt mean much of anything for the other races either. | ||

Tbf, positioning doesnt mean much of anything for the other races either. I don't think that's true. Tank/Liberator is strong but the economy is more of a problem. You just can't get enough stuff in time because you need to play very defensive early on and Protoss can expand faster and get Tempests. | ||

Coming from the guy who made a guide on TL on how to turtle most efficiently to ultras... The real reason you don't want mech to be viable is probably because you fear that your strategy might have a counter and you don't have the ultimate lategame composition anymore. | ||

Maybe dial your attitude back a few notches. It´s not like terrans have not become better and better at dealing with zerg late game. Now terrans just have to make other units to counter zerg T3. | ||

Roach ravager doesn't even seem that strong in zvz to me, you go into hydra / lurkers and they've put a ton of money into ravagers, it's not even good. | ||

Unless Terrans can win with 80% Tanks they will continue to complain... | ||
