just like good old days of bw where infantry totally useless, so much for blizzard to encourage build diversity

unless you're goody

Mech is good, it's just almost impossible to get to the perfect army comp without getting destroyed.

4 ghosts in that army = dead rain

that would mean like half as many hellbats... and 2 less thors at least

amid it, mech is just useless in tvp. mmm just way too good, against p. mech just too shit in both cost and mobility. not to mention all toss need to do is mass immortal and it will counter the crap out of anything coming out from the factory.

i have played exactly 1 high master terran that successfully destroyed me with mech...

he had ghosts and some sick EMPs on my immortals. i was honestly pretty impressed that he pulled it off...because i usually storm the shit out of mechbats and the assorted 1a'd stuff...leading to an easy win.


i wouldn't say it's useless against toss...it's just a lot harder to pull off.

as long as blizzard does nothing about psi storms, mech will always be bad

also, the introduction of the immortal mechanic in sc2 is horrible.

if you, as a game designer, put in a unit which is exceedingly cost-effective vs. one unit type, and utter trash vs. others, the result will be less diversity.

immortals are too good vs mech which forces terran into bio (I don't think IM-MVP's many siege tank timings count as mech)

I rather like the design of banelings and roaches in ZvT, which are good vs some things and weak to others, but does not force terran into one particular composition. TvZ is also good and fun to watch because zerg have many options to deal with it.

psi storm is a retarded mechanic which puts all the onus onto your opponent in order to determine the gameplay outcome. Consider brood war psi storm which wasn't smart cast; that thing actually took skill to use. Now it's just a roflstomp.

I'd take minimum 4 EMPs over 2 thors anyday
0 storm, 0 shield on immortals >>>>>>>>>>> dps from thors


plus with a mech army you want a decent number of medivacs to drop on their army

hellbats

was he especing a probe army?
