If you spend a scan, everything in your build is late, which means if Protoss was just chronboosting probes, you have a mighty big hole to dig out of. You don't have enough units to delay Protoss third base. Guess who wins 3 base vs 3 base most of the time? I don't think you appreciate just how expensive scans are or how far they put you behind. You lose the "midgame advantage" that Terran has. You can still scout though. You act like you can't just send a second SCV out at like 3:30 and scout for an expansion or even sack it so you can see what units he has. If you see an expansion or if you see a sentry then you know you aren't facing any pressure, if you don't see an expansion or you see 2-3 stalkers already then you will know that he's going for some sort of pressure and likely blink stalkers. I just don't get why so many Terrans find this to be a problem. So because you can't play completely greedy then blink openings are OP? That's like me or any other Protoss player complaining about 2 rax because we can't be greedy and go Nexus first every game. You are more than capable of scouting and getting enough information to know that this could be coming and you can do this early enough to have around 3 minutes to prepare for it (blink builds hit around 7-7:30). I can't tell you how many times I've played Terrans who will send a second or even third SCV at times to scout what I'm doing or just to see my unit composition within the first 4-5 minutes of the game and they still were able to get their tech up at a good timing. So scout more or maybe you should open with gas more often and get a tech lab faster or do some sort of 2 rax expand. Just because you can't always be greedy doesn't mean something is imbalanced. | ||
