Excuse me? I have no idea what I'm talking about? What is your iCCup rank, if you don't mind me asking?
Really? Did you ever consider that terran has the cheapest anti-air weapons, the goliath and wraith? Ever stop to think they have, arguably, the most imbalanced unit in the game, the siege tank? Ever think about Vultures, how they are so cheap but very effective? With their mines, the ability to abuse cliffs in melee maps to twist the war in their favor, of COURSE they need to be nerfed in melee!
Siege tank is imbalanced? Are you serious?
Your min-only unit has 160 HP and 1 armor. Marines have 40 and zerglings have 35.
Your reaver splash doesn't hurt allied units. Siege tank splash does.
Reavers can be dropped and picked up immediately for 1 shot, and kills every single worker unit in 1 hit. Tanks can't.
You have 1a2a3a. Or rather, 1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9a0a.
You have the most OP spellcasters in the game: High Templar/DA. (Granted, you don't see much DA in early/mid game...)
You have Psionic storm (112 damage in 4 seconds) to use against mutalisks. We have... Missile turret. Which does 10 non-splash damage.
You have Dweb, Stasis, and Maelstrom. We have...lockdown. From a unit that is almost never used.
Your dragoons have 180 HP/1 armor. Tanks have 150/0.
Your goons cost 50 gas. Tanks cost 100 and die to pretty much everything.
You have so many strategies to completely screw over the Terran's BO. We have... Siege Expand and 2/3/4/5/6 factory pushes. Yeah.
Every two goliaths we build costs one tank in our mech army, and 1 turret = 1 fewer vulture. Not to mention how helpless our missile turrets are against ground units. Our turrets don't come out unless we suspect/scout a drop, DTs, etc, since it requires us to pull SCVs.
Spider mines are not as overpowered as you make them out to be, since they are mainly used to force detectors or to slow down the ground army. Mines do more actual damage to us than they do to the P army since they are so easily killed/defused by themselves, and mines near the tank line just create potential for DT mine drags.
If you bothered to read any other thread, you would see how much Excalibur stressed that terran must be weakened in melee.
Irrelevant. Just because Excalibur is an established member doesn't mean you can just attach the name to your own post and suddenly seem almighty. Mind citing his/her reasons that terran must be nerfed
in general? Don't cite specific maps for this unless you are making a point with a certain design element.
Saying "Cliffs on Katrina make 2 base carriers OP for Protoss" is okay. Saying "OMG TROY IZ A PROTOZ M4P GOONS R THEREFORE IMBA" is not.
This whole entire post seemed as if you were trolling, and I wouldnt be surprised if you were. Gain melee experience before posting and read this:
1. Do I know what I am talking about?
-If you have no idea how to make a balanced melee yourself, you really don't have much business trying to tell someone else how to do it. Rather than give bad advice that will only hurt, it's better to be silent and let someone else do the job. If you aren't sure, say so, not everyone's an expert, but if you aren't, do not claim to be.
Its very evident you have no idea what you are talking about.
Like I said, you could be a troll because not only are you a new member, but you COMPLETELY attacked me. No, it wasnt being blunt, it was an outright attack.
So let me get this straight: New Member = Troll. What infallible logic.
I suggest you
take your own advice and make sure your "balancing" is actually, oh I don't know,
BALANCED?!
EDIT> And no self-respecting person will put "REQUESTING STICKY" in all caps at the beginning of a post that's not even finished. Get off the high horse please.
