b00.

Everything else looks good for Zerg, though.

But MAN, Terran got smacked hard by the nerf-stick. I don't think the supply depot dependency for the barracks will be around for long. I get annoyed by early reapers, but that's a bit much. Supply depot dependency for a tech lab, sure, but at least give Terran a reliable counter to early lings.

I'm still happy with it. Yeah, you are right that tech lab should require a supply depot first instead of rax, but man I am over joyed that supply depot got another 50 hp! that should take another baneling to bust through! :D
 
lol naruto. 1 thousand banelings.... what a great visual image. nice profile pic btw! :)
 
From what I understand the only builds that did the barracks before supply depot were mostly cheese all in builds. Even with this change Terran can have a wall up and a unit up quicker then a toss so if you saying it's impossible for Terran to defend a 6pool then there has been a problem with toss for a lot longer....

If a Protoss is 6pooled on a small map even knowing it is coming they have to use a few probes to block off the hole until a zealot comes up. Terrans can at least save those workers by just repairing the wall until the first marine is out.

In the few games I played, I sometimes built that way just to get more marines for defense. I don't care if Protoss have it harder, I could barely ever survive the early ling attack. For a more experienced player that can micro and that has their timings down well, it probably won't matter that much.

There's nothing wrong with cheesy all-in builds as long as they can be stopped. And it wasn't too hard to stop any cheese reaper builds, and when you did, you were FAAAARRRR ahead. High-risk, high-reward builds make the game more dynamic. Also, 10-rax was a fairly legitimate build that wasn't all-in. Z can pretty much FE with impunity against T now. It's an awful change that is completely overreacting.
 
I think that was the problem an all in proxy Rax build was very difficult edging on impossible to defend against. Just like the earlier patch that nerfed Protoss proxy gateway that was impossible for zerg to stop it was just Terran's turn.

This change wasn't just about reapers either. Double rax hidden nearby even when scouted was nearly impossible to counter a marine rush. Also your economy wasn't hit that hard because mules would make up for.
