       Nono, terrans getting tank is more important! Who cares about
       zerg losing 30 supply XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
       /s

       2 extractors + 4 spawners = 46 supply. So it is actually more
       than one supply up that you are losing. I hadn't realized this
       yet, it's actually much worse than I thought!  ;)
       [/quote]
       And this is were I know it better than you. Yes, 4 spawners are
       removed, but +4 base income is added to all spires, so you only
       lose the pressure of those 4 spawners, which is fair since they
       would be stacked on a terran that isn't supposed to have those 4
       spawners on him. You do not lose the income, hence you don't
       really lose those 16 supply.
       Prime example of people complaining about stuff they don't fully
       understand. Happens a lot on this forum!

       is that were you tell me that zerg does infact have an easier
       life with a third of his income gone right from the start? :P
       we can argue about roaches being too strong or not (have yet to
       lose a single game to a zerg building roaches). But even if it's
       "only" effectively 30 supply. The fact remains that the game
       switches way into the terrans favor just by someone leaving the
       game.
       And to be completely transparant: this is only such a big deal
       because I have on average at least 2 games per stream were a guy
       (ink) just does this to screw over the zerg. Yes the zerg and
       not his terran teammates. The way the game works and the fact
       that in 80% of my games I have at least 2 other competent
       terrans just means that he can decide that terrans will win by
       just simply destroying his command center where it otherwise
       would have been an amazing grind with lots of battles and
       struggles. Which is the reason we play this game.
       Let's settle on keeping the 30 supply then. The way the game is
       balanced you simply cannot recover from this as zerg. The early
       and midgame timings are just too tight to be able to compensate
       for a guy pressing delete on his cc...

       2 out of 6 spires is also not a 1/3 of zerg income, because hive
       generators 80minerals /min (though I'm fine with calling it 1/3,
       hive is not a big deal)
       No, I'm not saying this thread is entirely wrong, I'm just
       saying you don't even fully understand the dynamic of early
       leave when you claim zerg lose 46 supply. The issue of early of
       leaver has been discussed on heXnab discord months before this
       forum was even created x)
       You ask for a fix, but 0 details. Meanwhile heXnabs:
       Make Zerg supply cost scale
       Explanation: The problem is Zerg’s supply goes down while the
       supply cost does not with the Terran very early leaver bonus.
       This is way too strong for Terran, as this effectively reduces
       their economy by >1/3 for the entire game. and the leaves supply
       cost the same. It should only slow down the Zerg economy and
       reduce pressure for a short time.. It is very possible for a
       good enough Terran to never lose in this kind of situation.
       (posted 7th of july 2020 btw)
       I'm pretty sure this suggestion has been sent to Wmaster via
       email a long time ago. I'll actually say that I don't quite
       agree with the wording, zerg only lose 1/3 of their economy
       (ignoring hive income) at the start, later on 2 spires is far
       from being 1/3 of income, however the loss of the 2 spires is
       never eliminated, the impact is only softened as game
       progresses. That said, it obviously hits hard, don't need to be
       a genius to see this, hence why even keks like you post about
       it.
       I'm annoyed by you keks making posts about balance / design
       issues, without even fully understanding said issues and then
       not even proposing the least bit of a suggestion how to approach
       the issue, leaving all the work to Wmaster, not just changing
       the issue, but also figuring out in what way to change it, but
       I'm glad you all have ego and think you are fantastic zerg hex
       players, with amazing gameknowledge. Put some actual effort into
       improving the game, stop low effort whining, it's annoying and
       it's sad when it gets you anywhere, if Wmaster had just ignored
       all the low effort whining, the "Changes Take 2" thread would
       have looked way different :/
       Thanks for coming to my Ben Shappiro talk.
       Edit: No, asking for keeping the entire supply / structures is
       not an "approach to the issue", LOL

       Imo dont change this since you also have to fight one less
       terran. adam just whines because he cant hit his timings after
       that happens.
       the early time before 2:15 is needed to estimate if the random
       lobby you joined is worth the time. adam, if you complain about
       mid leaving after F2, why dont stop f2'ing  mid then? oh yea it
       is op and abuse... of course you feel like you have the right to
       do it.. adamstyle..
       The penalty is absolutly justified. if there would be no all
       other terrans could instantly leave since game would be over
       then.

       Not true. I have video evidence of me playing solo with randoms

       What you are asking is to basically just ignore you for the
       first 2:15. Because apparently as zerg you are not supposed to
       be able to put on any kind of early pressure. Not to mention you
       also left when not mid and recieving a few extra spawners.
       I mean why have early game at all. Let's just start every terran
       off with a fully walled base, maxed out fruit farms and a push
       ready army and zerg starts with armor 2 and 2 half energy
       infestors at every big spine. Easy fix?

       Eh the penalty is quite rough, but this has to be changed
       extremely carefully - should early leaving even slightly favour
       zerg, then it is obvious every terran with 2 braincells will
       follow the initial leaver.
       I've posted this when forum was brand new, remove 1 of the 2
       spires, remove 15 starting supply from zerg, add 4 spires on
       high ground. I'm not 100% sure if losing only 1 spire would
       favour zerg too much, it could definetely favour zerg if they
       only lose 1 spire^^. Overall I think it would be a decent design
       change, helping out zerg quite a bit. It wouldn't even be a
       change meant to address early leave in my book; it would just
       accidentally help with it xD
       In the end, zerg needs to be able to express skill, that's more
       important than early leave and power of T1 / T2. However I have
       no new ideas about that sadly :/ And as far as I have seen,
       nobody else does either.

       classic humorous distraction but has nothing to do with the
       issue of the fact that zerg has too much power earlygame to deny
       any terranplay but highground ion. yea.. not gonna do that. and
       it is a valid reason to leave the game. if you dont want that to
       happen wait the very early game to end before doing f2 or

       of course it makes sense that adam defends capacity in its

       You guys are always fighting against each other and miss the
       points every single time^^
       I will try to refocus the debate.
       We shouldn't ask if it is right or wrong to leave early game but
       WHY ARE PLAYERS LEAVING EARLY GAME AND HOW TO FIX THAT.
       If players leave early game pre 2.15, there are reasons: What
       are these ?
       -The Zerg player is able to put all his map pressure on one
       player from start (F2). Most likely on mid.
       -The Terrans are all new players/noobs making the only good
       player to leave (it happens for Zergs too).
       -Disconnected Terran (rare)
       -The Zerg put literally all his supply into spawners from start
       on one player.
       We can't fix the disconnected Terrans, the F2 or the noobs. The
       only things we can fix are these early all-in from Zergs and the
       mid area.
       As i said in previous thread, capacity spawners must be reworked
       to not be efficient early game. For the mid area, this is a
       ground problem wmaster should be able to fix.
       To conclude: The penality is really important but as most
       players said, is too high for Zergs. Best fix is to scale the
       supply cost/leavers.

       I'm confused.  I thought the hexnabs believed that upgrading
       spawner capacity early does more harm to the zerg's economy than
       to the terran, but now you're saying that it's actually better
       for Zerg to up its spawners early?
