Here is a link to a explanation of the patch changes from Blizzard. I personally didn't think it was that big of a buff.

What I personally find crazy is Blizzard's definition of a moving shot. There has been a relatively large clamor by top players for Blizzard to implement better 'moving shot' mechanics where you can fire then move away very quickly, and if timed right, fire and move off before coming to a complete stop from before attacking. Blizzard clearly has no idea what this means because they implemented 'moving shot' on the Phoenix where you literally shoot while moving. This includes shooting in any direction while moving in any direction. It's really quite ridiculous. Demonstration

Most people on TL, just like on any forum(though Stardock forums do tend to have a smaller idiot:poster ratio), is full of idiots who think they know what they're talking about. However, that said there are tons of top players on TL who do know what they're talking about.

I also don't think strategy games should be based solely on micro. However, I do think micro should be an important part of the game that separates players. This comes from a top(lol) silver league player who sucks at micro.

Also, the Phoenix does it's thing regardless if you attack move or regular move. Another reason I think it's ridiculous.

I actually don't fault their skill - those top TL guys would stomp me in a microsecond.  I also don't fault their knowledge - they certainly know what they are talking about.  I fault their philosophy on game design, i.e. how much "skill" should be in the game, what constitutes "skill," etc.

Basically, they are the type people who think it's good to remove advanced user interface and automation elements from the game, so as to inject more tedious bullshit into it in order to "inject skill."  Basically, they think the more clicks you are forced to do in order to do a tedious task, the better, where as I'd like tedium and "BS" minimized, automated, etc.

I love phoenix now.  They were good before.  Now they're just straight up sex.

Blink is awesome particularly on maps where you can blink up back doors.  Very good for harass.

Never had any problems with a reaper rush as Protoss.  I love it when they go reapers since I typically start off massing stalkers vs terran.

Worst matchup for me is vs random on a huge map like that kulas ravine.  I hate that map.

No, units being able to fire on the move wouldn't reduce micro, but it would certainly feel like Blizzard updated the SC franchise to the 21st Century.  My biggest problem with SC2 is that it plays just like StarCraft1, despite it being ten years in development which is plenty of time for new ideas.  Even Capcom realized that Resident Evil gameplay was outdated and revamped it when they made RE4, which was an awesome game yet still felt like a Resident Evil game.  Do you want to know why it wouldn't reduce micro?  Because it is hard to kite with a group of units and manage everything else that isn't kiting.

When I win it's because my race is overpowered.  Whenever I lose it's because I suck.

Some Rank 5 plat zerg player did some hidden hatchery in my base cheese and proceeded to contain me with sunkens and roaches.  I was able to get a robo up and fight it off with immortals, then continue to push and take the win.  "Protoss is so OP" he says.

Yeah, because your 'all-in' zerg cheese didn't work, protoss must be OP.  I think he's on Blizzard's balance team.

Another patch, another epic failure.  Terran buffed again, protoss and zerg nerfed again.  Terran is so OP now it isn't funny, yet they are continuously buffed ever more.  Despite terran newbs screaming about void rays, they weren't OP at all.  ALL AIR can be "OP" (ever been hit by a mass of banshees, or battlecruisers)?  Yet the void ray was nerfed.

At this point I have decided that Blizzard truly doesn't know what the hell it is doing.  My guess is they just hired a bunch of idiots to balance the game - people who weren't involved with SC1, but that's just a guess.

The Platinum ladders (I've heard) have Protoss and Zerg in them with few Terrans.

The Void Ray had good range, could hit both ground & air and did incredible damage after 4 seconds.

The HDH invitational didn't have many Terrans. 3 Randoms, 5 Protoss and don't remember the rest.

Also from what I've heard, Protoss continue to win over Terran.

Dark Templars

I'm not in the beta myself but am a veteran SC 1 player since it was new. Have also played some SC 2 against A.I and watched almost every game that Husky got on his channel.

If I was in beta I would definetly try (in midgame, once things stabilize a bit) to send Dark Templars at different targets. He would have to use scans to get rid off them (and he may not manage to kill them!) which means less mules!    I would simply continue to send DTs until he either dies or gets Turrents and/or Ravens. He would be contained.

From a theorycrafting perspective, Dark Templars seem like MURDER against Terrans. Terrans may have the most detection capabilities but also the worst. Expensive support flyer (which they don't get against Protoss) and OC energy that you then can't use for mules. So using DTs would slow the Terrans economy

High Templars are the COUNTER to the M&M&M ball. Can't believe you've missed that....

Feedback can mean destroyed Medivac and 8 Terran infantry units. Multiple Psi Storms WILL kill infantry blobs. I believe HTs feedback got greater range then Ghosts EMP.

Work against Zerg as well. One Protoss who was contained to one base against Zerg had 15 High Templars, some stalkers and a Collussuss and simply stormed the Zerg whenever he tried to attack. In the end the Protoss got runover but the Zerg did have the entire map except the Protoss main and natural (Lost Temple).

But tell you what, once the game hits, we'll play as many games as we need and I'll try to defeat you 100-0 with Protoss vs Terran

I've been doing alright P v T.  I generally try to get colossus or phoenix as early as possible.  If they don't wall in I might do a 4x gateway timed push.  My typical mid game anti terran army is speed zealots, phoenix, colossus, couple sentries.  Lift tanks with phoenix/protect colossus from vikings while the colossus and zealots clean up the ground.  Always have obs and catch their army unexpectedly.
