Since this whole topic degenerated into the usual balance flamefest where every topic ends up if unmoderated it's time for it to clean up. Locking this down for a while. Any posts made after my post [page 233] not addressing the changes in this patch directly and containting flames or general balance whine will get banned for at least a week. ~Nyovne

There is way too much flaming in this thread right now. Calm down before you post! (Page 271) ~iamke55

Sentry buff helps quite a bit I think

What sentry buff?

Indeed. Terran lategame is HORRIBLE, yet there are 0 fixes.

So I take it you ignored the HUUGE HSM buff then? that will be amazing for lategame.


Dude, the problem is obviosly not some flashy HSM which is useless, but terran macro machanics. Protoss can insta warp xx units + can chrono gates, zergs can spawn xx units from larva, terran doesn't such things. That's why they just can't keep up late game.


Make more rax. The cooldown on warpgate means it should be around the same production wise.



LOL. You forget the fact that after max/max situation toss can insta warp 30 units into a battlefield (proxy pylons) while terran still has to wait for units to be trained. Please, don't make ignorant statements like "make moar rax", it's so stupid.

Actually, if you are T and 200 and about to engage a battle, just fill the production line before and the units will pop out while you can concentrate on the battle and micro like hell ... while the protoss player has to click for every unit he wants to produce and while he is doing this can't control his army reasonably! In this the Zerg is probably the worst!


You cannot queue up new units when you are already at 200/200. You would have to make 5 queue lines before you are maxed in every production facility and if you can do that then frankly your macro just blows...

Patch seems ok, but the Infestor problem isn`t solved, it gets more worse!
For example, if protoss has a army of Voids+colossus+stalker without blink and the Zerg has Infestor+mass ling + broodlords, then it is a def loss for Protoss, when he get fungaled. The Voids will be down even faster and the stalker couldnt come to the broods, also with blink they couldnt, because of fungal! so after voids are down, the broods have free way!!!!

So solution for Infestor would be: - fungal should only slow
- fungal have to cost more energie (is justiefied, because blink needs more time anyway)
- and maybe remove pathogen glands

since when did warp in become anywhere on the map? And terran has much easier macro mechanics than protoss considering you can just MBS and press A or whatever to make your units while you look at a battle. Theres ups and downs to all races macro mechanics, why not try playing more than one race and seeing it objectively instead of fanboyishly?
hihihi

Sentry Guardian Shield now correctly reduces damage from Hellion, Void ray, and Colossus attacks as well as the Siege Tank’s sieged attack.
Go go Alliance.

I have no idea why people don't understand the rax changes. Terran is winning in both ZvT and ZvP, if it means one less win in 1000 games played it's helping to realign the balance between races.


That's not they way to balance races. It's like making all terran buildings self destruct 1 out of 1000 games and say you are helping to balance wins/losses...


Except it's not. You think the 5 seconds build time = every single building you have blows up without being attacked? I sense a butthurt terran...
Hey! How you doin'?

Nice to know that Blizzard are nerfing Zerg's one good unit.

Wp Blizzard, wp.


The only games zerg wins are when they make nothing all game but infestors.

Infestors will be helpful even after the patch and do not forget if you spend the same amount on roaches or stalker roaches win everytime if they have no blink.

This patch is going to be awesome for Protoss and Zerg! Blue Flame Hellions will be not as good (as of now) making marine/tank or marauder/tank the new "best" because of that reason?

This sounds like an amazing patch. Even as a Zerg player, I'd prefer Fungal being changed from freeze to slow though, and keeping the damage. Warpprisms sound great. And again, as a Zerg player, I think 5 for blue flame is too little. Maybe 7. Seeker missles are great.

I have a feeling Blizz is listening to State of the Game .

Immortal and Mothership changes sound awesome while still keeping the game fine. Blink too.

Even the Bnet changes are sick!


No I don't think so cause everyone on SoTG said they liked blue flame and would not change it.

5 second delay on barracks seems like a big deal - delaying early pressure and defense as well as delaying orbital for 5 seconds =(

:D Waprprism yay! And Immortals are now units you can actually build with bigger armies without immortals dancing around without being able to shoot.
I hope they start doing the EU PTR with this patch.

So OC will be on 16 supply in future instead of 15?

Also TvT will possibly go back to Marine, Tank.

As much as blue flame has been screwing with everybody the past month or so...I'd like to think that the Boxer/Rain match had at least a little to do with these two patches.

Holy shit, that seems actually reasonable! :O

Huge HSM buff? The greatest problem with HSM is it's poor range and the small damage radius. Fungal kills the raven, Vikings can snipe the raven, even hydras have the same range, so it's a gamble if the raven comes out alive.
So you still have the range advantage against mutas... which are still faster then HSM.

I don't really know why we are discussing this, but you should be able to macro while being in a battle.
The protoss can not because this would require him to leave the screen. Even with the insta-warp, terrans shouldn't be "too" far behind.

Maybe now that they gave some love to the Tier 3 of Zerg, maybe (and i say maybe) we can see a buff for the carriers.
