Only 2 Terran builds I currently know: Mech, and M&M. Other than that I have no idea what I'm doing. I haven't played Terran in a while though. When I did, I didn't lose often. They're very polished and have a large trunk of toys to play with. That's why I think they are so deadly. Hopefully with the expansions coming up each race will follow suit.

So, I have established that Terran require a serious nerf. I've never used them before - ever. Even in the original SC.


First time I just jumped right in using techniques from people I've played. My opponent was favored. Blocked myself in, put some marines behind the bunkers. 8 zealots show up and there forced into such a bottleneck that only 2 can attack the supply depots at a time. SCV on repair and the 4 marines I have cut them down. I go M&M with some tanks, takes me all but a few minutes. Walk in and destroy this guy's base.

Yeah, not too down with that kind of inbalance.

That said, I'm still trying to perfect my zerg builds with lings. either you can go drone's early and pump lings out later (talking 4:00 minutes + upgrade) or you can have a solid dozen within two minutes or so and harass very early.

I guess it depends on scouting.

I was in a 3v3 the other day (my team was Toss, Toss, Terran) ad we rushed the shit out of two of the other guys and completed destroyed them. By then we had stalkers, void rays, a ton of zealots, and a ton of M&M. We went in to attack the last guy, who was terran, and he massed marines, had some maraurders, and tanks. He kicked out asses, countered and destroyed one of my teammates and the only reason we ended up winning was because my terran teammate pumped out just enough siege tanks and blew the other guy as he walked into his base.

I feel like marines, marauders, and a few tanks should not be able to take a huge 3 team army. They need some type of nerf

Ok, this needs to stop...i am getting the worst partners in the world for 2v2 random. Half these guys will build about 12-20 units and think they are fine..these guys are complete idiots. Why can i never get a good partner it seems like. I need to start playing some serious 2v2 with one of you guys...this is really starting to piss me off.

After watching the IEM finals I'm convinced something needs to be done about Terran. IdrA is by far the better player and Morrow easily handled him 3-1. All in reapers leaves Terran's financially even or ahead after mass harass versus Zerg.

I'm starting to play more 2v2/3v3 because 1v1 versus Terran is ridiculous. I'm pretty close to just throwing it all out.

Tv Anything is straight fucked - its that simple. I've thrown 1's out of the window and drawing doulble Terran in random 2's is possibly the most hopeless feeling I've ever had in any video game ever.


Up until just the other week - I had never played as terran before. So I decided to give them a try. Just used some things I picked up playing against so many of them online and applied them to my own use.

Won without any issue. Just went MM as he spent valuable time and resources trying to get into my base.

Blizzard is the developer I peg as the gold standard for balance in their games.
The original Starcraft is just a brilliant specimen in this regard, but this new generation has given some of us a serious up-hill battle.

I feel you there...i'm still not going away from playing Protoss, and evey time i play against Terran i know i'm not going to win unless the other people really is not that good. I think to myself "if i build Zealots, marines will eat them...if i build Stalkers, maruaders will eat them...if i go Void Rays, marines will eat them...if they get BCs, its game over...if i go Carriers, i will still lose". I feel like there is no way to take down a Terran as Protoss unless you get lucky, or can build/tech alot faster then them. I really wish Protoss still had Reavers from the original.

I have yet to play any 1v1 games because i don't want to deal with going against Terran all the time.

Are you ever going to be on at the same time i am? We still need to do some 2v2. I played with your friend Cliff yesterday in 2v2 and we went 2-0.
