EPTZerg is overpowered in early game ZvP. overlord drop is clearly the issue, without msc Protoss simply doesn't have enough dps to deal with mass lings.

unimaginative changes which don't address the core design issues. agree with the disruptor nerf agree with the oracle nerf strongly disagree with the chrono and stalker nerfs. it's the wrong approach. it messes with ZvP. the most pressing issues for terran were not addressed: 1) strength of bio 2) micro potential of mech 3) terran anti-air and overlapping roles universal consensus in the sc2 community that the marauder's single-shot attack should be reinstated. widespread dissatisfaction with the micro potential of mech. in particular, tornado blaster cyclones. there is ZERO skill difference between Innovation killing a zealot with a tornado blaster cyclone vs. a platinum league player killing a zealot with a cyclone. no kiting, no scoot and shoot, no nothing. probably the worst unit design in the game... ground-to-ground lock-on should be reinstated. kiting is fun, a-move is not. cyclone anti-air damage needs some major buffs. none of this "first 4 shots fire faster" bullshit. make it strong like the early days of LotV. if it's too strong in the early-game, add charon booster AA range upgrade and mag-field accelerator to the techlab. widespread dissatisfaction with the state of terran anti-air. too much overlap. all of terran's mech AA is clumsy, slow, unmicroable, or hard-countered by one or more Z/P units. | ||

I don't get the people who STILL deny that terran whine makes changes happen. Can't wait for another year of terrible toss winrates and TvZvStats in every tournament. | ||

2. I really don't understand the disruptor changes and I encourage anyone who disagrees with me to talk with me, but it definitely feels nerfed beyond oblivion. | ||

But then I tell myself to stop complaining and git good...but these changes...it really looks like a knee-jerk reaction to complaints. The chrono nerf and oracle I can understand, the stalker changes are going to make early game hell in ZvP. | ||

However I haven't played it yet because disrupter drop builds are already a large investment and are a rare build. I also don't see how it is any different from say a widowmine drop except being a larger investment lol. | ||

The biggest factor, which you can clearly see in the game clip she linked is that the army value of the protoss is shit during that startup phase. So, they have to be microing well; and moreover, if you look at what he is building, he literally starts a colo, and like 1 sentry during that whole 30 seconds. These sorts of builds have their ups and downs, and to just say that because he got 5 scv kills and killed a building turret is the pinnacle of shit gameplay, idk. Personally, I don't like the new disruptor myself, but at least lets try this stuff for more than like 30 days of 'off season' gameplay. | ||

Think of an expensive widow mine that fires instantly deals 145 damage and can get picked up from six range. | ||
