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

As a random player, I can see some really cool changes to the TvT game coming from this - mostly because of the HSM change though. Hellions will still be good in that matchup, but I can see a much more expo-based game to gain gas for Raven superiority (who thought they'd ever heard that term?). Viking wars suck and I'll be happy to be rid of them.

I got raped by a warp prism yesterday (in masters league FYI) and it wasnt even close. Blink stalkers + prism full off sentrys, go into main of enemy (works well on shakuras for instance) and just FF the enemies ramp. Super-cheesy but if you catch someone off guard you just win instantly unless youre terrible. I have a feeling we´ll see this sort of cheese a lot with this buff and I cant say I will enjoy it! ^^

from a protoss point of view i love those changes. especially the shield buff for warp prisms will have a huge impact i believe

Yep they're almost as beefy as an ovie now (just lacking 1 armor) but way zippier, especially if you get the speed upgrade. Immortal/zealot drops/zealot warpins will be a genuine threat now I think.

Protoss need it. Basically slowing Zerg is all ins today and we all know what happens if you leave zerg alone. Terran has plenty of options but most Protoss' were nerfed out... VR WG, etc.


Just want to point out that terran has not recieved a buff in many, many patches - if at all.... now protoss starts losing a couple games and then this? I think its a step in the wrong direction honestly... WG and Voids needed a nerf, they are both still viable options, just not overpowered anymore. And now with the hellion nerf, terran is basically forced to go rax units and ghosts against a toss every single game. Hellions wont be able to stand up to zealots any more...

And what the heck is the additional 5 sec build time on teh rax for? Could that really have been affecting anything? About the only thing I agree with in this patch is the fungal growth damage.

This sound like very good changes, although i'm not sure about increase of the baracks build time, the rest looks perfect.

Very happy with the changes.

Was hoping for an EMP nerf though, in particular taking all the Protoss shields away.

I don't like the contamination cost increase , at least from the ZvZ perspective. I feel like it would eliminate possibilities for timing pushes as ways to come back. ZvZ would be even more boring than it is right now.



Dunno if its been mentioned but contamination is dearer beacuse its now cheaper to make mulitple overseers. . .

That's your opinion.

And pretty much any high-level zerg's. If you really think Infestors were the only reason zergs were figuring out ZvP, you're sorely mistaken.

Also, ultra build time decrease helps a lot against death ball.
After the first clash you can now remax with ultras. And ultras can be good against death ball aynway if used with fungal and baneling.

I love that now we'll definitely be able to see if a building under construction was canceled or destroyed. Great for e-sports.

Dissapointed that there is no reaper buildtime buff 45 sec is 5 more than ghost and 10 less than ultralisk. 40 would be nice. Also they can nerf the grenade thing to 25 or something.

OTOH immortals are more attractive to toss and we all know what they do to ultralisks ^_^ PvZ will continue to be very topsy turvy as people come up with new builds, I predict.

Well seems like they're 1-1-1 fix is the immortal change -- but puma 3-1-1 with soo many marines almost seems stronger

Infesters aren't really nerfed against the deathball. Armored targets take 0.8 less damage after patch, i dont see why zergs cry. Its just simplified, i like it. Marines also still die in 2 fungals, so it wont make "that" much difference.
