To a certain degree, yes.
We want to be able to have a chance at winning with mostly fact units with some air as support, not backwards.

Besides the fact that only happened in 1 series months ago? Nobody would be against nerfing stuff if it ever turns too stupid, its not like everybody and their mothers is doing hellion/cyclone as of now, its played like once every 100 games (and once every another 100 banshee mech) and if you buff hydras and corruptors even those wouldn't be played anymore.
And all of this considering mech is 100% unviable vs protoss.

The most vocal players are the ones who talk about and complain about and ask for mech to be "viable", and the SC2 team seems, to me, to throw that in to let those people know that they are both thinking about mech and that they see Terran players talking about it all the time. All. The. Time.
As far as I can tell, Factory-based strategies are pretty viable right now, the thing that isn't as viable, especially in tournaments, is the greedy or turtle-y mech, which the developers understand is bad for the game if it becomes too powerful. Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand what all the confusion is about. Mech is the least viable it's been since WOL launch atm. imo it's even worse atm than before the beta somebody tell those koreans I would agree with that. And the koreans all already know, it's why they never go mech except to "surprise" someone. 99% games are bio, except the 1% where a pro does it to try to get a freewin because the opponent doesn't expect you in money games to do a strategy that's blatantly bad lol. So why don't you have 0% winrate ?
Everyone knows you play mech, so if it's just about surprising the other you shouldn't win any games ?

To all the people who say "mech is viable" do you actually mean "mech" or do you mean "sky terran with mech support"?
|
Mech is viable if by mech you mean bio supported by liberators.

In this episode of Monthly Mech Viability Whine Thread, we have the same posters making the same complaints they've made for months, all with little to no statistical or empirical evidence! Players who reach M and GM with Mech who still think that their homogenous, uninspired, turtle-oriented style of play is getting the shaft are here to answer any logical counter-arguments you have with the same shriveled up explanations and whinefests that you've grown to expect and detest! Tune in again next month, when you will hear the same issues brought up again and again from people who lack a sense of realism when it comes to Blizzard's approach to the game, how others play and want to play, and lack the basic objectivity necessary to talk about balance!

You can really tell who did and did not play brood war in this thread. The people who advocate for mech buffs clearly did, and those who say it's boring or "turtle" clearly did not.

No double standard, no one likes a unit composition that is just amove, what mech basicaly is.

Yes that A-move of siege tanks, the most A-move of units because you can totally attack move with them.
You just embody that double standard and I don't know if you are doing on purpose or what, but its not a funny meme.

Zergs asked for 1 unit to have a damage nerf. Mechers ask for nerf on: Nydus, Viper, SH, Hydra, every air unit in the game and doomdrops.
Can you see just a bit of difference? We asked for a nerf so we could defend drops, mechers want to change the whole game just to sit there and build an unstoppable army.

My bad, forgot to mention you have to press a button first to turn them into meat grinders that destroy every single ground unit in range, not as micro intensive as hellbats and thors.

And you can feel the cloud nerf influence. But neither the hydra nor the Nydus has been an issue. Almost noone is using nydus. What are you talking about? The SH is a complete design failure since it was introduced. It has not become any better. Also now suddenly you do say that Zergs asked for a nerf to make a unit viable. What are you gonna tell me next?

Honestly mech was more viable in HotS than in LotV.

inno was first who tried mech vs dark on top level back then and it was just for the surprise effect and he stop after this even after he won lol, he also said that mech is bad, even snute said that he haven't lose a single game vs mech with swarmhosts.

Because mech in SC2 is just a sit on your arse deathball > massive cloud of ravens. It's not positional. You just turtle to victory. In brood war you needed to split your units up and move around more to defend your bases, as well as actually execute a solid push across the map at some point before the opponents could combo a huge eco with their own lategame tech. Terran has no incentive to commit to an offensive fight basically ever. Other than in early GomTvT days where people basically just tried to play like broodwar, SC2 mech has never been remotely the same as BW mech.

He hasn't lost a single game vs mech with SH because even though it's a known counter to that style of play, mech players don't make any efforts to do anything about them aside from complain on forums.
