I used to play terran but they're getting weaker every update. Especially the depot requirement for rax. This makes it almost impossible to counter rushes on maps with large ramps. Normally I start building the rax before depot is finished, now I have to wait. I think I'll switch to Protoss since this seems to be an easier race for noobs like me.
If you are so worried about being unable to wall-in on time all you have to do is make the supply depots earlier. Yes, it's true that the new patch is a pain for Terran but to be honest I still use Terran when I play Ladder =D I actually welcomed the speed decrease for Medivacs as I no longer need to micro them to the back of my army. So far only the reapers are affected the most = / If you noticed Thors are now better units. This is because their 250mm Strike Cannons is now cooldown-based on a 50-second cooldown. The ability starts with cooldown available (useable immediately after upgrade is researched) and High Templars can no longer Feedback them, talk about wicked =)
You should be able to defend rushes, even going supply depot first. Wall off quickly with bunkers, or fight with all your SCVs if you have to.
Think someone mentioned it in another post but pool = drone(50min) + pool(200min) =250 min Gate = pylon(100min) + gate(150min) =250 min rax = supply(100min) + rax(150min) = 250 min Sounds pretty fair now. Plus there is not real downside to an early supply for a faster rax, since you can get a fast orbital and drop 1 mule instantly which will fix your econ. Never hurts to try another class though, i suggest zerg. If you stick with zerg long enough it will make you a better player overall.
