EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 11
| 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 | ||

It will make Immortals a little less terrible and the problem with infestors in PvZ isn't their damage, the problem is u researched charge and blink for ur units but u aren't able to use them. Atleast there's some nice changes. | ||

I would have liked them to slightly increase Hellion base damage, but it's fine that way too. I think the Ultralisk change is really good, the Immortal change could prove tricky :p | ||

So that means 42 damage in two shots (enough to kill drones, probes, and lings in two shots). This means it will be less effective against Zealots, Hydralisk, Marines, and SCVs but still against lings and workers besides terran. Most noticeably it'll change hellions in TvT quite a bit. SCVs and Marines now need to be 3 shot instead of 2 even with Blue Flame. However take into accounting Medivac heals, Blue Flame will still help so it's not entirely useless in TvT. hellions do 14+5 right? That's only a 2 shot on zerglings. | ||

What? The constant threat of losing an entire mineral line in 1.5 seconds is strong from minute 1 to minute mined-out. | ||
