EDIT:
The most retarded part about terran is that they're doing relatively well in the match ups overall without using more than 4-5? attacking units. They're hardly even touching nukes and or ravens (the new science vessel). Both of which are absolutely retarded. Ravens have 3 abilities, all of which are stupid good. The first makes shoots down ALL projectiles in range - that is, your ranged units do no damage at all, its dark swarm that lasts for 90? seconds or so. The second is hunter seeker missile, which should scare you just based on the name. Irradiate was gay? This is worse, since it's an aoe damaging missile that you can't stop. Yeah, that's fair. The last is just a crappy auto turret, which is alright, I suppose. Oh, and raven's are detectors too. Cause they weren't useful enough already.

It's hilarious how the cycle of SC2 is the same as SC1. Everyone starts out thinking "omg Protoss are overpowered," then people figure out that mutas are good. Then Zerg learn to expand, then "omg zerg are overpowered." Then people realize that Terran should use tanks and infantry, then people are like "omg Terran is broken."
Except with a small difference that Terran really are broken in SC2. It's just hilarious that the reason they were "balanced" is because all Terran players sucked ass. That and the last patch "fixed" splash damage. So now a max 200/200 Protoss army loses to a 150 supply Terran army, and the Terran can have 30 less scvs and keep up with a Protoss economy. Even when fighting 2 base terran to 4 base protoss, 1 expansion is high yield. Sounds wrong to me.
EMP on ghosts that's accessible really early in the game is dumb, nukes that don't require you do sacrifice scan is also very dumb. Protoss having no useable air units late game, is also incredibly dumb. Storm getting nerfed, and colossus being good, but hilariously easily countered is also quite dumb. Storm also takes too long to get any archons are god awful. Banshees that do 24 damage to ground units and can cloak is absolutely stupid. Not being able to run away from a Terran army (ever) is also mentally retarded.
Marauders have "concussive shells," which is recently an upgrade (but only 50/50 gas/minerals. But it makes marauder shots slow on hit. Marauders do 10 damage + 10 against armored targets and can stim pack and be healed by medivacs, and only cost 100/25 minerals/gas. This is clearly fair.
Seriously...after playing the game more and more. I'm really wondering why I bother playing Protoss when I can play Terran, not need to have constant SCV production, expand past my natural, or bother with unit diversity. When I can just stim my infantry, EMP once or twice and just win.
Oh and tanks are retarded now. They're BETTER than SC1 tanks with the last patch. I've never seen a max upgrade and supply Protoss army melt so fast to a non-max/non-upgraded terran army that didn't even have 8 tanks.
Really, they don't need to be able to max a new army instantly from 20 warpgates or have 7 larvae at every hatchery, when they just never lose their original army ever. PvT is so absolutely dumb right now. Thank god banelings still rape terran infantry. Otherwise I'd just give up on the game until the next patch. But even still, I've lost a ton of motivation to even bother laddering at this point cause I had a Terran player almost matching my income while down 2 bases. Not to mention end up winning despite being down 2 bases and upgrades, and supply the entire game.
