who (p) vs shy (t) exhibition match

Realism vs Balanced Gameplay

But as said earlier it might just be that marauders are a hard counter to Immortals, SC1 is full of things like that.

I'm pretty much sure that those two upgraded (shield up) immortals did a pretty damn good job against 6 marauders ,they killed like 2 of them before dying

While they can be considered somewhat OP in a degree, I think the main problem was that the Protoss player had no backdoor defenses. He barely had any units back home to fight, and didn't seem to make much from his warp gate except 2 Immortals and a Stalker. Though true, he spent most of his resources on that failed Stalker raid and Stalkers to defend his expansion.

The Marauders could have easily been defeated by 1-2 Colossi (in place of all those Stalkers) with the 2 upgraded Immortals or a single defensive HT with psi-storm.

Question is, should Marauders hard counter Immortals? As it stands, I can't think of any Protoss ground units that would act as a hard counter against Marauders in return.

Immortals didn't have their hardened shields researched in that game.

Is it just me or is the marauder attack also slow enemies? Cause if it's the case then now we can really say they are OP.

They did in the end, last 2 immortals. You can see that Marauders attack do trigger Immortals Shield.

The Maraduers Always worked that way, that is why they should be support.

That is one of the Marauder's main skills, slowing down units and always has been.

Whether it looks lame or not, it's still realistic since we have it even with today's technology.

it looks stupid and overpowered. if they want to make it an auto launcher or something, they should design it as one.

Regarding recoil, the M32 did have some as well and still fires 120 rounds/minute (according to the guy). As for the auto-launcher being on a platform, other than weight issues (which would not be a problem for the Marauder), there's nothing to stop the guy from carrying it around and firing it at the same rate.

the marauder is not on a platform. its not a auto-launcher. just a guy on drugs shooting fast.

Really? Didn't know that... Doesn't look like a support unit to me though.

Btw I agree that's really stupid. I always hated that unit in every possible ways anyway but mostly because is armor design is just plain ugly.

heh I spoted in the BR2 a funny thing in the Nighthawks portrait (16:54)
