random is no race

also, I like Zerg the most.

I liked Terran in WOL about equally, but now it's just stupid and I'm glad about it because else I had thought about changing my race.

Zerg

what an idiot

Terran at heart, but I play the Zerg now.

Fuck you.







You just like picking the weakest race.

Terran is the worst race rofl.

Not in HotS. Widowmines, hellbats, and tanks that don't need an upgrade are pretty good, not to mention speed medivacs. Terran is generally considered the strongest currently in HotS. Protoss second, Zerg a fairly distant third, from tournament results and professional player responses.

I have to agree, i play zerg only if im random lol

terran has come a LONG way in Hots! Tanks w/ no upgrades = GG
and widow mines buried in an unsuspecting expansion

terran have gotten a considerably harder to play against

and lol @ anyone that picks i dont play sc2

i'm going to disagree
i have yet to see hellbats used very often in professional play (while simultaneously admitting i haven't watched very much)

the tank upgrade is great but hasn't even been utilized very often
speed medivacs are absolutely necessary given the stance blizzard has on the late game where "terran needs to do damage" just to compete with the other races in regards to how powerful the later game tech is
and widow mines are an atrocious joke that are only useful early on in the metagame and have already been figured out by players like life. you can fucking see them before they fire, they are almost completely useless against any opponent that knows how they work and has more than 100 apm.

things like swarm host and viper builds will only get better as players get used to using them. blinding cloud has the potential to be game breaking if used properly

skytoss makes an entire tech tree viable and useful

terran is still completely reliant on doing damage with drops just to stand a chance

100% agree with the viper comment. But the point stands--at this phase in HotS, Zerg is not strong at all. Viper cloud has not been explored thoroughly and as such, Zerg is weak.

If you think widow mines aren't effective, I have nothing to say but roflmao. Widow mine drops, widow mines to deny drops, widow mines to deal surprise damage to clumps of units, widow mine expands...all of these are incredibly powerful ways to use these new toys from Terran. They are less effective once scouted, true, but for their first shot, and for the pittance of gas/minerals/supply they cost, calling them worthless is just ignorant.

I haven't seen a lot of mech games at the pro level yet (haven't made my way through MLG), but hellbats are still silly strong. As are speed medivacs. As are tanks. We should start seeing some tank timings come out of Terran players soon to exploit free siege upgrade.

I don't think ZvMech is all that much different from WoL .. except roachspam is viable now that viper can abduct tanks, and swarm hosts are very effective (vs protoss too)

ZvT vs widowmines I don't think is a problem really ........ perhaps the gas cost of the WM could increase to compare to that of a siege tank? Right now they fulfill the same purpose


void rays might be the only thing that could be considered imbalanced vs zerg ... and I'm not even convinced that this is the case with the new map pool and relatively high cost of the VR
