Why people are implying that TvP is gonna be so easy for Terrans after the patch? Will mech be actually that good vs Protoss?

I believe the tempest nerf will be the biggest thing in tvp.
Also protoss got no buffs in the testmap except slightly faster zealots (DT blink is useless) while the other races got insane buffs like 70 damage tank, 7 range hydras, 40 hp banelings or burrow-fungal (that has still not been removed).
I think toss is by far the weakest race in the testmap.


They also buffed carriers and void rays.

Besides pretty much all terran changes are for mech wich is already not viable vs protoss, so protoss isnt as weak.

Zerg is pretty insane tho, 7 range hydras are crazy.

Zerg being the winner as far as the balance changes go has been my experience as well, while the changes aren't
nearly as dramatic as the Terran or Protoss ones they are by far the most practical since free extra stats for early-midgame units is much more useful than better late game units.
I will say that maybe its time to split the Hydra speed and range upgrades again, Hydras weren't really weak vs Protoss to begin with thanks to the LoTV buffs and Lurkers and the extra range just makes them incredibly powerful.

I think if the change goes through as it is its just gonna turn Protoss into the "turtle until deathball" it was before since you can't really fight without aoe anymore since the Zerg midgame units just got way stronger while Voids and Carriers are not useful at all during that stage.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, 4/7/7.

Carriers got nerfed at the same time by removing release interceptors; not sure if they are better or worse than before. the voidray buff is pretty small.

also as I said, the biggest thing for tvp is the tempest nerf which might turn tvp lategame from incredibly toss favored to balanced or even terran favored which might change the complete dynamics of the matchups. And Bio is as strong as ever.

I really hope bio still is strong because if we wanted to play mech we would switch to protoss.
Nice to see GSL doing stuff

Ya lol, he has to actually be successful in both games before he's Bo Jackson.

This reads like an April Fools joke.

Are they even serious? 10 Protoss? 2 Zergs??

I wonder how many complaints about the player pool this would have gotten if I left out the part about the new balance patch.
