its unfair that terran always should be able to play pure mech. If that is possible I also want it to be possible to play purely robotic or psionic for protoss.

I personally agree with the "Ignore Mech" notion. At least in regards to the "pure mech" composition. 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. 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.

First thing that should happen: everyone going marine tank in TvP, which leads to a comeback of blink play. Then we go from there.

why would you go blinkstalkers against marine tank? stalkers are the only units protoss has that don't hardcounter tanks (well, and sentries I guess)


Blink can abuse the immobility of Tanks.

But then again, we live in an age where Tanks can fly....

So yeah.


If you force medivacs you force "not liberators".

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.

P nerf vs zerg shows how incompetent David Kim is. How on earth they can't see that Protoss struggles against Zerg? :O Shocking...

there are a lot of people who play solely mech and chose terran because they liked mech play.
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.

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?.
But he is right. 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).

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.

Mech can't work because positioning doesnt mean anything in any of the Terran matchups.

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.

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.

Completely removing the spores damage to bio is overdoing it. In muta vs roach you get some mutas then transition, it's not even worth getting a viper to counter them. No one goes large numbers of mutas against roach. A potential roach timing yeah, I suppose it's strengthened now by ravagers. Nerfing spores to hell is not going to balance out that problem, the problem there is reaching mutas. If that is your problem than fix something else like increase the ravager morph time. I don't see the point of nerfing the spore, the only thing that will change is 7 mutas forcing 7 spores .
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.
