So I was watching ZeNEXTandongho stream and after a while he logged into the korean PTR and showed us the new roach range in 1.3.5 . . .

[image loading]


Seems pretty imbalanced, cause now you can deny the Protoss the 4th gas on Tal'Darim.

This is of course not final, but I really hope Blizz won't go through with it.

Looks like the lings are moving away, so it looks a lot longer than it actually is...however range 6 is pretty crazy. o_o

this has got to be a joke, right?

seriously this is the worst balance change ever lol but unfortunately sounds like something blizzard would do; buff the race that is currently having the highest win percentage, and nerf the race that is losing the most, solely because some ragers on a stream demanded it.

I think its just a bug where the unit runs away at a fast rate, like when you attack a blink stalker and it blinks away, the animation follows the stalker and so you get a ridiculous range.

well if its true thats retarded, but I don't think it's for real. the ling were probably running, or maybe it had to do with the roaches being on a ramp or something.

what do you mean no? range 6 same as stalker, the cost is almost half. they get a stalker for half the price.

they are even faster than a stalker when upgraded, granted stalker gets blink but if they get range 6 no ammount of blink will matter. and they hit harder.

I mean, what you typed originally was a half priced stalker, and that's what I didn't agree with. I'm not saying this change wouldn't make roaches too strong; I'm just saying it's not a half priced stalker is all. When the roach can attack air then we can agree it's a half priced stalker.

As Mondragon has shown us, AA is overrated for a roach. I do believe this is just a joke though, or someone really misinformed. I see no reason why roaches would need this kind of buff.

You see this all the time with Speedlings. Any projectile shooting at them looks like its travelling super-far when the Lings are running by at blazing speed.

Blizzard has done some dumb things but this is a no no, they are not increasing roach range its was ether a bug or the lings moved while the roach was shooting.

you guys are so easy to troll, why do you think he put it as a blog? It's a bug with the animation when units are running away.

Guys, it's not a graphical bug. It's just a screenshot from before roach range was nerfed to 4. It used to be 6. They also used also cost only 1 supply...

You can reproduce it yourself. Put some roaches up there, have a buddy run lings around the bottom of your ramp until you get the infinity range roach spit.
