| Forum Index > Closed |
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 | ||

BFH is fine...I guess? There's no real point in getting the blue flame now unless you want to roast lings, but it'll be more practical to just gain map control via red flames. They could have approached it another way by compensating on the price at least. As for the immortal change, that'll just bring back the ridiculous 3/4 gate robo pressures that were around in the beta where immortals took less time to build, considering range has much bigger balance implications. I really can't see it lasting too long even if it does make it through. | ||

Also loving the Bnet privacy changes. I suppose the ultra decrease in time is to compensate for the infestor changes. But infestors still do substancial damage... | ||

The barracks one in particular seems really weird because, before this, the rax finished right as the 15th scv finished for an orbital. Bohoo cry me a river, protoss has to cut probes to get a 9 pylon right at the beginning of the game. | ||

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 Nothing you said makes sense (and I'm a protoss player). Why would it be worse? Fungal is weaker now, voids will not be down faster. And why would you not research blink for the late game now? If the zerg has brood lords (which usually come late late late game), you had plenty of time to research blink. Again, nothing you just said makes any sense at all.

Now it'll be some strange timing where the 16th scv is halfway done, or you have a delayed scv for a faster orbital. Zealot proxys are going to be very micro intensive to deal with, seeing you'll have one marine vs the zealot when it hits. I simply can't find a good reason for this change. you know you can just wallin, right? that kinda negates zealot pressure. | ||

However, how is this patch supposed to deal with 1-1-1 what is the main issue right now? Is range buff and 5s longer rax build time really enough? Some players started countering it with blink stalkers, what's not much possible with 30s longer research time. Protoss got tools. Now it's Protoss's job to make them work. Notably, Robo is now a lot better at early pressure against a walled-in Terran...

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. Terran can also 'overmax' beforehand by replacing some SCVs with OCs. Every race has useful tricks. | ||
