That's not really the case, it's zerg who build corruptors to deal with liberators not liberators built to deal with corruptors.
Else zerg would prefer building mutas.

Just lost a PvT which I was winning very hard up to the point when he decides to get late 4th base, camp and mass these awesome liberators. I made some tempests but that didn't help too much. Maybe some liberator nerf (decreased damage) won't hurt. Protoss is already the least played race. Maybe give people a reason to play it more?

Blizzard's idea of balancing the game by not touching the main units (ie: marines, stalkers) is so stupid.

My bad,I should have phrased it like this : you need your liberators to deal with both the ultra and the corruptors.

I was talking about the moment when ultras tear the terran ground army apart and the corruptors are sniping every sieged liberators.

dunno if you've seen Lambo vs MarineLord game 3 on dusk towers in HSC euro qualifiers, that the kind of engagement I talking about....

Thors are never used and they still get nerfed. Mutas will shit on them now. this change is so bad.
Why would you nerf one of the most underused units in the game??


Are you kidding me? This just made Thors incredibly strong vs Brood Lords and made mech that much stronger in the late game. Remember you don't even have to micro Thors to hit air. No one uses Thors vs mutas anyways because of the Liberator. RIP zerg late game vs terran (unless you can turtle and rely on cheaper swarm hosts, we'll see).


You have never used a thor or played terran I see.


Haha, great comeback, bro. Howabout focus on the issue. And actually, I have.

edit: But...I guess as a terran you wouldn't object to Thors doing 50 fucking damage a shot to brood lords.

Any zerg that lets thors sit in range of their broodlords has done something wrong. This was true in Wings, it was true in hots with the same AA cannon (with a bit lower damage), and it's true now. A terran player that has used thors in late game would understand that thanks to very painful memories, especially from Wings. And they've buffed broodlord range in lotv to boot.

Thors had more range than broodlords on WOL/HOTS. And thors and broodlords have just 1 range difference on lotv, but are faster than broodlords.

With micro you could get a brood lord to fire up to 12 range away and with broodlings the thor has no hope in reaching them. With the additional range you can be even farther. Even if you don't micro them, you can make sure you only fight like one thor at a time and pick the terran's army apart because the hitbox for thors make dealing with broodlings a very frustrating experience.

Legit question for higher ranked terrans, cause I'm a low diamond scrub: I like macro games, how am I supossed to go lategame in TvZ now? Should I even bother trying, or should I just learn how to play ultra-aggressive like other terrans?

its not gonna be that BAD, you will not be able to play "Macro game" without harras right now, you will have to take a lead early / mid game in economy now to counter late game quick transition , (top master T playing vs gm-s)

I don't understand what benefit the Thor gets from having a single target attack now vs air... Its just one less unit to deal with mutas it seems to me. Weird nerf.

I did and I don't care about liberators' anti-air damage. That's not the problem for protoss. It's the anti-ground damage that makes PvT awful sometimes.

If you nerf immortal, you definitely have to nerf lurker and possibly liberators' anti-ground damage.

oh god the desesperation.
This isn't really "balance change" anymore, it just feels like random changes and blizzard is like "lets hope to god it looks like we still give a shit".

Game's boring.
Watching pro is the only fun thing anymore, such change sure as hell wont get old players to come back.

I can kind of understand the thor change. Terran has two other units with AA splash. Having 3 units is a little bit much. Having said that, I still dont think the thor change will make the unit more useful. The thor has not been great since the very beginning of SC2 and I am afraid it will stay that way.

The cannon change though. I dont even know what to think anymore. Its like they are not even trying to keep us believing.

i think the Thor is useful for sub 120 APM players.

i'm having lots of fun.
the silvers and golds i play 2v2s with (who are 10+ years older than me) are having a blast.
at my best i'm a diamond player with all 3 races.
