Which race u think got the worst upgrade in BW

Personally i think Terran really got screwed in the 'new units' department for BW.
i mean while Protoss got a nice new Dark Archon to mind control all races and the Corsair=disruption web to counter all defence buildings; and Zerg =the widely used/over used? Lurker and Devourer with the crippling effects of its corosive poison.
It realy makes u think, are the medic and Valkyrie enough to even out the gameplay in the Terrans' favour? or are they doomed to relying only on the power of their seige tank?
Well what u guys think. or is it just my opinion

Concidering the fact that medics are the one single unit that has changed the gameplay of BW the most since SC original i wouldn't say that they got screwed.

I picked Protoss... but only because they didn't receive any new units to massively assault air. Zerg got units that can degrade unit armor upgrades with acid spores, and can reveal cloaked Wraiths. Terran got the massively powerful Valkeries, which can annihilate an air force in seconds if used in large numbers. Protoss got Dark Archon.. which can't Maelstrom air units, and can only MC one at a time.

Yes, they did get Dark Archons, which can tear ground units new assholes. However in the air department, Protoss definately got setback. On island based maps, they have definately gotten slightly weaker.

True true. But then again, M & M wouldn't even stand up against a good Protoss player. U almost always got to go metal.
And what about vs Lurkers and their line-splash damage? [can't remember how much, think its 20]
I Think they'll last longer against cracklings an hydras if u ask me.

But since most pple on Battle.net play Lost Temple [or even money maps] i think it'll be a while for someone else to actually notice that little setback. Besides, an even powerfull upgrade to their air units would of been too unfair, considering that they already got the Carrier and psy_storm. Face it, they're strong enough already ,in the air

M&M vs toss works just fine if u do it right, against terran however its wasted. Marines can kill lurkers but u need micro and preferably science vessels.

medics have a really big impact on terran, mass m&m works fine on all races, including terran. usually my biggest threat when m&m is storm, lots of lurkers, or lots of tanks.

lol, how can u say mass m&m works on all races when u yourself have just unknowingly given a counter for each of them:
i.e- psy_storm= Protoss, lots of lurkers= Zerg , tanks=terran :confused:

Definently Terran. Medics are good but they don't do anything against lots of air and powerful stuff you could have 1 BC come in and your marine dies in one hit or Psionic Storm or Gaurdian owns them. Thats always what happens to me.

Sage: ehhhh...m&ms do work on all races, when i mentioned "threats" from lurkers or storms or tanks, it depends on how well the opponents use those units.

take templars for example, there are so many people who use storms badly, therefore i would be able to control my m&m to dodge the storms. good stormers usually predict which direction my units would run to and storm there, and that is how they manage to kill my m&m.

think before u speak

seems like u have no idea of every single aspect in this game, believe me or not. we can arrange a 1vs1 game in ANY map you want, and i'll show u how it can be done.

Too many newbies, that's all.

If you don't think Medics are one of the most potent units in the game, you aren't any good. Yes, I'd like to prove that.

Let's see...
Terrans have charon boosters , 300 dmg to iradiate , medics and valkyrie.
Zerg have devourer,lurker,more armor 4 ultralisk,40 dmg to sunken
Protoss have DT,dark archon,less min 4 dragoon,corsair,more armor 4 carrier,more hp for scout,less gas 4 arbiter.
The question was:'Which race u think got the worst new_unit upgrades in BW'.My answer is terran.
Now,if u want to talk about who is better and stuff like that my opinion is that u got the wrong idea about terans :they still have EMP,siege tank,lockdown and the bomb...
