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 | ||

The build time of the ultralisk is the only buff to tier 3. And last time i checked they weren't so good against terran (marines, marauders ...pick your unit) or protoss (almost every unit toss has does plus bonus damage to armored) If your saying well yeah but if you have 8 or 9 of them.... then i would say that your are either playing really bad or have a massive lead if you can afford that many ultras. | ||

I think that paradoxically it may encourage 2 rax play indirectly, as it will encourage zerg fast expand play, against which 2rax is perfectly viable... 2 rax doesn't kill zergs anymore, but it can cripple them if they overreact. It is just a good trick toi have. The barracks change is probably Blizzard doing small things to the game. It won't change anything at all. | ||

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 Sorry, but your wordy analysis is completely moronic. I'm not claiming that the infestor is balanced, OP, or UP. All I'm saying is that you're portraying yourself as a biased noob who plays in like low masters or something and is laying down the assertion-hammer. | ||

The barracks one in particular seems really weird because, before this, the rax finished right as the 15th scv finished for an orbital. 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. 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. 11-11 is too strong, I believe that is why the barracks will take longer. And no, blue flame was just too strong vs worker lines in all matchups. And I don't think the immortal change is huge at all, immortals are still preety bad. I think you're being a bit too 'knne jerk' yourself, youre being biast. | ||

I think that nerfing hellions is not a bad idea, but that nerf is just stupid. With the old blue flame hellion you just needed 2 hellions to one-shot drones. Now, with this nerf, you need 3. The thing is that even 3 red flame hellion one-shot drones, so why should I spend 150 150 and research blue flame? To one-shot ling with 2 hellions instead of 3? No thanks, not worth the cost at all, just remove the blue flame at this point, it became useless just like reapers. | ||

The warp prism is ridiculously good already; I think this buff will encourage people to use it and then it may need a portion of its fragility returned considering it's so freaking fast. I think Fungal Growth is still too much of just a DPS ability, it's a shame what its turned into, but this slight nerf is probably deserved. Ramp change is good, barracks change is questionable; I think the terran early-game was already nerfed half to death with reaper rushes and the supply depot change so this addition of five seconds is just making early-game vs terran safer and safer, which is an interesting design choice. Really it's mostly good stuff, good patch in general even though I don't really understand the barracks/blink change.. Looking forward to see some more Raven and Prism use | ||

-->first, voids go down faster becuase they are armored http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Void_Ray (Infestor Fungal Growth damage changed from 36 (+30% armored) to 30 (40 vs Armored).) --> second blink wouldnt help because of fungal what ? 36 + 30% = 46,8 patch : 40vs Armored | ||
