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

I expect at least 2 more changes to the bunker before the PTR is done.

Interesting contaminate change, didn't think many people used it, let alone thought it needed a change.

People not using it is the justification for change!

Hellions are still going to be effective and will still be used if terran still runs 4 hellions into the zergs main and they have blue flame, they are still going to kill a fuck load of drones. however vs like lings ect. they are going to not be as effective.

as a toss player I don't think this patch will do much for the Protoss matchups.
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 really like this patch. The barracks nerf is understandable and perfectly fine. The Seeker Missile change is awesome <33
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

Even with contaminate energy increase, I think mass contaminate is even more viable. You'll have a lot cheaper overseers and massing them's so much easier.

As cool as the patch sounds, I hope they don't take "complaints" too far and just constantly nerf the meta-game in the future even if they meta-game is fine down the road.

2 more expansions coming out, meta game has a long road before it settles.

looks good, we'll see how the infestor change plays into the game. Overseer is good, but I think 100 energy is fine for contaminate.

What a great patch, first time in a while. Small infestor nerf should help, warp prism buff, slow blink stalkers should help PvP and PvZ, overseers aren't as useless, seeker missiles might be good now, immortals won't get stuck behind stalkers as much and will outrange marines, ultras will be easier lategame, and barracks now have the same build time as spawning pools and gateways. Grats blizzard, loving the patch.

I would have liked to have seen a increase in research time or something instead of a flat out nerf because hellions really aren't that strong after the early game..
Everything went better then exception

wow toss just got a pretty big robo buff. Should be interesting and change even PvP (coupled with vision change). I've always felt blink research was a little fast, but is this nerf really needed? I find it funny that blue flame had to be nerfed because it gained popularity. I've hated blue flames since beta; this should stop mineral lines from being roasted too quickly.

What is the point of getting Infernal Preigniter now? The spell is so expensive for 5 extra damage.


It allows you to two shot drones/zerglings (and workers besides SCVs) instead of three shot like it does previously.

16 + 5 = 21. 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.
