When is the siege tank getting buffed?
i think it only gets buffed if the Siege Mode pickup feature of Medivacs is removed.

I see so many foreign Protosses that still don't open up phoenix. Yes, it sucks you have to do it boohoo, but that's how to best utilize your race and realize their not UP at all. Yup, nothing more be said on it, if you aren't opening Phoenix, well then why aren't you opening Phoenix? David been really moving things in a better direction with all of these updates, I feel like if he had been this way since WOL we'd be sitting on a different game, but hey, I'm still giving props. Really hoping to see a complete Swarm Host revamp, the cost really isn't the issue nor is the supply, the issue is that it's a dead weight unit in an even faster paced game, the design is just bad, sorry David, but I firmly believe the Host in it's current form is pretty much polishing a useless piece of junk. Zerg still struggles against mass air comps, particularly Protoss air armies, maybe tune the Swarm Host to discourage Tempest and Carrier/Void Ray massing? Not like that is particularly a pressing balance issue considering it's on the person to scout a mass turtle air comp and pop a Nydus or a Doom Drop before the Protoss hit's 200/200 so I don't know. Just maybe tune the Swarm Host to actually have an identity? Make it actually contribute to the Swarm strategically, why the hell would I build Hosts to siege when I can have Lurkers which are infinitely more useful and morph from a general combat unit or tech to Brood Lords so I can also have Vipers? There is no real strategic reason to build them at this point outside of carefully crafted gimmick builds. On a lighter thought, having King Sejong Station is literally making me anxious with excitement, Overgrowth as well? OH man, it shouldn't even be a question, put Frost in, those 3 maps are in my first five maps when someone brings up best designed and most balanced maps ever, totally stoked. | ||

Maybe it's not fun to do that every single game? I see everyone complaining about stagnant map pools. In my opinion a much bigger problem for Starcraft is stagnant gameplay. Having to do the exact same opener every game would qualify as that. | ||

They're obviously strong but they need to be so that toss has some way to deal with the major lategame threats of BL/Liberator range in the lategame Exactly, Tempest are good against some high tech units of other races. Their main weaknesses are that they are slow and have less DPS than a stimmed marine against most things. So when they are made, the opponent should just outmaneuver them with low tier, fast units like small MMM attacks or cracklings. These strategies have been effective every time I've seen them used. It's like a circle: once the big fat units cease to work, you go back to the cheap ones, which should be completely upgraded by then, and the protoss has to reassess. | ||

But I agree that the other races air armies should get nerfed too so that the game becomes more ground-centric | ||

since Protoss could in fact be performing weaker outside of the pro level right now. At anything below the pro level Protoss is a fucking nightmare to play. I know Zerg buddies in Gold league with like 80% against Protoss. In fact I've off raced at my MMR and beaten people handily. Also, Zest is really fucking good. We know this. You can't nerf a race because Zest is good. | ||

Blizz has proven several times they do this because one player is good with his race. Mostly Terran got hit with the nerf hammer by that logic. Think about Thorzain and his use of Thors against Protoss. This was after ONE tournament and Im sure there are other examples too. | ||

Zerg is by far the easiest of the 3 races. my expansion harassment consists of "throw some zerglings at it and hope for the best" | ||

In Starcraft, we didn't see Blizzard doing anything to the races played by Boxer, Nada, iloveoov, sAviOr and Jaedong, considering how many championships these players won and how dominating they were. Also, in the first two years of WoL, compared to multiple championships won by Terran and Zerg players, MC won the only two GSL championships as a Protoss player, where was the balance correction? Why didn't David Kim correct Protoss in 2014 and 2015 since Protoss players won multiple major championships? I'm not complaining about "unfair" treatment for Protoss. I'm merely pointing out how ridiculously absurd to judge the current state of a race by counting how many championships or runner-ups the players of this race win. Maybe the Immortal nerf and Colossus buff end up being just fine. Nevertheless, following such logic can lead to something that actually downgrades the player factors in the future. | ||

It seems that it only takes one champion for David Kim to give out the sentence for a race. Following his logic in the update, I wonder, whether a champion has to be a random player, therefore no race will be nerfed. Or, the player will be banned as a means of maintaining balance?

If one player would perform good and the rest of the race struggles that of course doesn't mean that the race is to strong but protoss is nowhere near struggling in korea. They had good representation in both starleagues which is imo the most important source to judge balance. | ||

I have 100% winrates vs Protoss gold, must be because i play zerg. Or maybe because i'm master... Gold games are totally irrelevant for talking about balance, only high level korean tournaments are. Balance is about changing someone because it's too strong. You have to hit the best level to say : "this is too strong, there is no counter, that is OP". Gold losing is just : X is better than Y, not X is favor by his race. These players just don't know how to counter the bo of your buddy, it's just lack of skill/knowledge/scouting, not imbalance. We hear : SC2 is too hard for casuals, but if it weren't hard, there would be no esport. | ||
