Idra, what would you change about Terran? It seems like the problem you describe goes deeper than the numbers and has more to do with the versatility of Terran. So short of changing the meta-game altogether, what changes can you do to Terran that would make it more balanced?

bring back the reaper/barracks/bunker build time increases and remove tank's smart firing.

and roaches should probably be 1.5 supply

IdrA is getting mad, but he does (and has had) fair points on Terran and balance issues for awhile.

he also doesnt know how to pronounce the singular

bare-axe is how he says it. i've become used to it but it'd be nice if he just switched to the actual pronunciation!

Honestly if you have under 10 post you probably shouldn't be trashing on IdrA he is good he just won kotb, he has a valid point although i am not sure it was delivered in the proper manner.

Idra. I truely believe if you want this game to be balanced, you must play terran and win 100% of your games. It seems to me you think its the most powerful race of them all, you should be able to pull it off.

the thing with is vs terran you literally cant play safe, if they wall and leave marines on the edge of their base they can do any number of strategies, all of which have completely different counters.

obviously i cared and did everything i could to win, terran is just utterly ridiculous right now.

it is not a fluke. it is a result of the fact that terran has a million viable rushes that have completely different counters and cannot be scouted, and they have a perfectly solid mid/late game to fall back on that you have to be aware of too. means you cant just cut econ to defend everything, if that were even possible, cuz then theyd run you over mid game.


If it's mostly the scouting that causes it, what would a change such as Overlords having Changeling baseline (at the cost of like 150 or 200 energy) that way one of your first 1 or 2 overlords can drop one by the time they make it to their base. Perhaps even have changeling be targetted, that way the overlord can peek barely into the vision of your enemy's base, drop a changeling in, without immediately alerting the person where you're coming in at to kill the changeling.

Just a random idea I thought of to have a very subtle change possibly fix a scouting problem early game. Another idea a friend had was to make overlord speed be tier 1 and 50/50, and keep drop at tier2 still. Fast upgrade like concussive shells.

It's the one base 7 gate that you should be afraid of.

How come you're an scv at 500 posts?

Also, I completely back the notion for Roaches to be 1.5 supply, 2 supply is way too punishing.

Good games tonight, i've been watching for about 3 1/2 hours now!!

Idra, you played great, tough luck. I agree with your points, not to mention these points coming from you actually mean something. People just respond to your reputation, not to your points.

Oh, and whats with the ragging on Puremiss? He is casting these games with over 2000 viewers and taking all this time out of his day to broadcast these games and do a good cast at the same time. No need to attack the way he pronounces certain words, not a single caster out there gets through an entire cast without making mistakes.


Awesome games tonight, made my work night go by a bit faster
sup?
