Races are balanced the same as always. Terrans can do everything ok with the right specialty of units, Zerg are still the kings of speed and harrassment, Protoss are still based on a strong defense and overwhelming technologies. Unit weaknesses are a little more specialized than before, and the changes to the unit and tech trees for each really change up the stratagy options for each race. But all in all, the classic formula is still there.

And I had zero problems with the multiplayer during the beta. Can't imagine its gotten worse since then. Right now, I'm looking through all the neat crap I got in the collector's edition.

Multiplayer is good but right now it's:

Terran > Toss > Zerg

Marauders are a little OP and it's making Terran the best race atm, at least in the beta they were.

Basic terran stratagy at the moment is MMM (Marine, Marauder, Medivac). But let's be honest, replace Marauder with Firebat and it's been the core terran strat since BW. The accessories can be played around with, but those were the necessities no matter what.

Knowing that, if you play either Protoss and Zerg and always have a counter to that unit grouping then you're equaled out. If not, then its your own damn fault noob.

Neg. The old marines and medics strat isn't like MMM at all. M&M didn't use firebats. Marauders were way OP before they moved the slow to an upgrade instead of them just having it.

Zerg can deal with MMM if they rush roaches yeah but that's boring and toss has a lot of trouble dealing with terran early game no matter what. Reapers rape lots, upgraded marauders rape lots and stalkers which makes that match up very difficult for toss players. If MMM took some micro or skill to pull off then it'd be different but right now terran just attack moves bases. Zerg and toss players have to outplay terran players to win and even then the terran player is still at an advantage. Beating terran is all about surviving and trying to get to late game.

I say all this as someone who mainly plays terran.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
