It is OP because it allows you to have same economy as other races that are producing more workers without actualy investing on workers. What do I mean? (you think).
I will try to be objective but first we need to understand subtle advantages of having MULEs:
Everything in the game related to economy can be translated in minerals. So if protoss has about 9 more workers or even 10 more workers than terran with same economy (what is very common - you can see in replays both races having same income) you have at least 10 slots free to your terran army. This scenario is very common in practice…with 2 bases each race…even with a third faster than terran.
You can look at a replay and see both races minning same amount of minerals (same income) and Terran with about 10 less workers.
But this all comes with a cost for protoss and zerg. The cost of 10 workers are 500+the cost of supply giving a total of about 625 minerals…and not only this…you still have to understand that those extra workers are consuming “supply slots” that could be used for more army.
So it is very common in mid game we having a scenario where Terran have the same supply as the other race but more army power!
So pls Terran players… stop the nonsense…if not balanced in fact you are being favored having MULEs! NOT THE CONTRARY.
MULEs are OP! NOT Underpower. I really hope Dev team stop hearing this kind of nonsense said by terran players.
So this myth is debunked! In fact having less workers with same income is OP for terran!
1- You have more slots for army.
2- Less cost in workers.
3- Less cost in workers can be translated in faster tech or production.

Not only more army supply.
An army that is pound for pound stronger than anything protoss and zerg can field
A setup that is easier for them to defend with their already superior defensive abilities.
The best worker harassing abilities.

No protoss eco is definitely imba. You can have six bases before Terran has landed his natural

That’s if you face a turtle protoss. A good protoss has every base except your main and nat. A greedy one has your main and nat as well.

And the fact that terran can lift their bases or turn into a pf with supply depots and a few tanks and missle turrets
Not to mention protoss can build everything from one probe without wasting their workers time (and you also can chronoBOOST YOUR WORKERS PRODUCTION IT WORKS ALMOST THE SAME AS MULES BUT YOU KEEP YOUR WORKERS FOREVER) and zerg can spawn instantly gazillion of drones as long as he has larvaes.

Yeah complaining of MULEs when Terran is the worst race in economy. Complaining of MULEs in 2020 LOL

Are you testing me mods?? I will spam you with accounts.
Balance team may favor Terran at least so far for a reason (seeing how Terran was so far)… but moderation is definitely some protoss and Zerg favoring idiots because every single time I post that
This is a thread by a Diamond who tells us how MULE are OP… you know the one who discovered what no one else has for 10 years… or maybe just maybe he’s wrong?.. so everything gets removed by the ABUSE of the Anti-terran Plat patrol
And that Protoss posters here are under 100 APM n00bs who post complete garbage about Terran who have NO CLUE how this race plays…
Get a life if you cannot handle someone fighting your lies that you need to resort to this idiot forum staff.
I SAID:
SCV repair = away from working = loss of mineral income
SCV constructing = away from working = loss of mineral income
SCV can be killed while constructing = delay building = away from working = loss of mineral income
SCAN = no MULE = NO extra income
Extra supplies (as rare as it is) = no MULE
meanwhile : Protoss Probe - Build 5 cannons 2 pylons in any base till it dies. Im toss but MULE is OP REEEEEEEEEEE

MULE is not OP.
MULE is there specifically because Terran has a weaker economy in general. It NEEDS the economy buff to make up for the fact that Terran has to play defensively and cover less bases. When you combine that with the fact that Terran units are simply more efficient, then Terran comes out about even with other races despite having somewhat weaker economy.
What IS OP is that given the above, let’s also give Terran economy boosts to make up for their weak economy. The situation is already close to balanced, then you shake things up and give Terran a boost on top of that. Like WTF.
TvP is in a good state… but let’s buff widow mines because Terrans are behind. EXCUSE ME, WHAT? Is my reaction. But honestly gotta wait to see how that plays out.
