Anyone who disagrees that terran is op is either an idiot, idealist or a total noob. Stop making reference to tournaments because most of them you have to combine the zerg and protoss numbers to get how many terran players there are. WHen was the last time you saw a zvz in a major tournament finals or even semii finals? now when was the last time you saw a tvt? Terran units are op because in order to stop most of them its not based on you being good but on terran messing up on his micro.
For instance the counter to marines is banelings, but a terran can afford stim within the first 3 min of game, and we need at least 6 to get baneling speed which doesn't even help begin help us to beat stimmed units and sure the whole ling surround trick to get them in position works on occasion, just doesn't work at higher play, as soon as they see lings skipping to surround they pretty much run so ffar that the banelings can't catch them until the marines have already pays for themselves. Also the marines benefit wayy too much from upgrades in the end game, their damage increases by 60 per cent when they are 3 damage. And sure that number becomes 75 for ling, and maybe even 90 per cent more damage with their increased attack speed(not even comparing it to stim) but at end game lings are useless anyway and die right away because they are not ranged and have the lowest hp in the game.
Maurauders are equally op maybe not so much vs zerg but vs protoss terran can get them so early that the protoss can't even dream of immortals and can only use zealots(whom in pro games barely manage to get any htis off. I would go so far as saying that stim either needs to stop helping movement speed to just nerfing the movement of speed upgrade.
Next up we have thor, the unit that counters every zarg unit. Whats he getting, hydra? ima go thor, roaches? thor, baneling? thor, mutalisk? thor, ultralisk? even mass zergling, can't stop 7-8 thors. I should not even talk about thordrop, talk about no counters... the counter to thordrop is... mutas!! and yet if you drop the thor they get wiped. Thor needs to suck against something, other than broodlords. I suggest a ground range nerf, by two points, so they are not so hard to kill behind a marine wall, they have to be in front to be effective.
Banshee, should we even bring it up? Day9 himself says banshees average over 15 kills in pro games, and pros know how to counter shit properly. The unit is too fast and kills drones in 3 hits, the only sure way to kill them is to use air units.
Should we bring up planetary fortresses? the unit single unit that you need an army to stop? you can't stop a planetary fortress with less than 40-50 food of army if its alone without backup. Basically they can only die when your already losing the game by a massive scale or if its a surprise attack and his army is on the other side of the map.
Siege tank is okay, but terran is already op enough without being the only race to have a siege unit(super long range unit) at tier 2. Glad they increased siege mode time.
Oh and btw i am a 2500 diamond player.
edit: lots of spelling mistakes, anyways, also i heres a suggestion for marines, make their attack be two attacks, one for 2 damage, and the other for 3, they will still do the same damage at the start but like this in end game, armor upgrades are better against them.
