I have played SC2 for 10 years and I loved the game. I play mech in every matchup since I never liked using bio.
It works great in TvT and TvZ but not in TvP. I have an whole Excel file dedicated to TvP where I analyze every game I play. I am quite sure that I have put 10 times as much though into TvP compared to my Protoss opponent. But it does not matter. The game is actually broken if you do not play bio and do some of cheese or timing attack or have pro level mechanics.
Protoss is strong on ground with mass immortal supported by zealots and archons. But Protoss ground armies are possible to beat if you play really well.
The problem is that it is impossible to fight skytoss. Thor only works in low numbers. Vikings are completely worthless. Mines are too supply inefficient. BCs are worthless vs Tempest and Void Rays and weak vs stalkers. Basically they are only good vs Carrier and units that can not shoot back.
If Protoss just defend and go Carrier/Void Ray/Tempest with mass gateway support it is an automatic win for Protoss. The only thing that works is killing Protoss before skytoss which is extremely hard since Protoss has both an economic midgame advantage and can make a large army much faster due to how much cheaper gateways are compared to factories and starport.
My disdain for Protoss has finally reached the point where I can not play the game any more. I will leave SC2 for good and switch AOE 2 DE. TvP is so broken that it sucks the enjoyment out of the game. In AOE2 DE there is nothing that is even close to being this broken.
I think the core problem with SC2 is that is balanced for pro players. But TvP is hell to play for normal players. Even the games you do win as Terran is basically due to extremely lucky widow mine drops or some kind of cheese which is a bad gameplay in itself. When did you last win a macro game in TvP without outplaying your Protoss opponent by a huge margin?
For Age of Empires 2 the balance is more focused on normal players since the game is focused around being enjoyed by those that play it, not being balanced around 0.01% of the top korean terran players that are forced to play so much that the damage their bodies for life.
Also Age of Empires 2 is increasing its player base even though the games is 20 years old and gets new content and updates. Meanwhile SC2 is declining, everyone that was good at Blizzard has already left the game and they do not even care that that part of bnet has been broken during the whole Christmas holidays.
BS.
Build BC in big numbers and learn to use them. Protoss has little chance againt a terran with Mass-BC and with more than 70-80IQ.
As long as terran population will be held hostage to those asinine ideas from sad-trolls they have little chance to improve their game.
Those weirdos are the worst enemy of themselves. The weirdos live in a parallel Universe built in their wishful thinking.
Time for a reality check.
After this…
…i would wish you a speedy exit (from the SC2 building) and hope no not see you around for the future.
Please don’t let the door kick your a.s.s…
Farewell whineterran, it was fun having you around.
“Just mass BC” is the most ridiculous protoss argument yet. Ya just mass up end game units that require 4 - 5 bases to support. Do this without dying to a protoss death ball.
The core problem is people does not want to git gud and still winning every game by playing random stuff. If you want to play age of empires, go, one less mech player in the game is always good.
IM NOT GONNA DEFEND SOMEONE THAT REFUSES TO USE all Terran units… if you used all that and still find Protoss OP thats fine. But to say ‘Ugh I cant play bio t oo difficult for me I want to win with few units’ no one cares about your NA lazy S… when Terran complains it’s because of real issues Ive seen it with any players using bio and multitasking and microing vs Disruptors like crazy… but slower dements like this one that claim it is too brain demanding for them to use other units… not gonna get my likes,.
When I complain of losing it is after using MMM Ghost, viking or switch to BC… yes it doesnt work and getting such tech switch is hard… but at least I try everything.
Yes, this is the typical case of that dimwit that gets angry because he can’t win with whatever pleases his primitive mind. When people try to help they react aggressively.
Such people up to the First World War were called “defeatists” and damagers of army-morale and were lined unceremoniously against a wall and…shot.
I have one strategy and one strategy only. I refuse to play anything else because I don’t wanna. The game is broken because my one strategy is not as effective as others. Blah blah blah.
How nice it would be for protoss and zerg players to only have one strategy to worry about…
Yes , leave the game !One whiner less . Sc 2 community has to many whiners and people with negative mentality . So we can finally purify the community from this type.
Spoken like a true terran. Only uses half the tools he has available and whines and cries about protoss. Hilarious that these keep complaining that terran is so hard to play and protoss is so easy, while they are playing…mech…and only mech…by far the easiest unit composition
he is just saying ‘the game isnt broken if you play bio but im still gonna only do mech cause it is easier except vs toss’. But I will play mech vs other races cause it is easier… ’ . Yes it is just bad for terran going bio even harder for TvZ
I dislike such whine T as much as I dislike PPP… … such like you make Terran users look idiotic no wonder
I completely disagree with that assessment. Mech is fun in its own way and can lead to some very interesting games. It just isn’t balanced for the very top, partially because of how strong mobility is in this game.
This garbage mastered the terran race and now is theorycrafting (banal BS) how Protoss should play and what is required to win.
The arrogance of those whinners is only a little smaller than their monumental stupidity!
Goba’s new Equation:
T(MMR) X T(IQ) = P(MMR) x PI(IQ) - 500 X t
t is time in Months without Protoss nerffs and Terran Buffs.
I wasn’t the one suggesting mass BC’s. One of your protoss boyfriends was suggesting it as a reasonable strategy because he has 0 clue on how to play starcraft. Which is why he plays protoss in the first place.
Just like massing up voids and zealots is a common strategy the TTT consistently says is OP. Youre suggesting that it is impossible to sit back and mass up BCs, because it takes 4-5 bases to be able to produce. But the OP is whining about Skytoss, an army that requires just as many bases to build and far harder to turtle and produce. By youre logic Skytoss should be impossible too
keep complaining that terran is so hard to play and protoss is so easy, while they are playing…mech…and only mech…by far the easiest unit composition
town refuse to use all their tools.
