EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 138
| 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 can get bad for zerg but once mutas are out, they are completely fine. TvT is where it get iffy cause last MLG all the TvT ended in less than 15min due to BF hellion but seriously....I dont understand why terran just doenst use their supply to wall off their mineral :/ | ||

TvT, TvZ and TvP mech style play will be considerably weaker now, and probably not even viable. This reduces the options for terrans so much, and puts us back 6 months in how the game evolved. Guess we will go back to mass marines and siege tanks...... | ||

Immortals already laughed at roaches, if they wasnt stuck behind 2 layers of stalkers without micro. So yeah, I whould like to see some explainations, so much crying on ze interwebs otherwise =/ They've posted a blog explaining major changes with almost every patch after it goes live and it's been tested. | ||

So yeah, I whould like to see some explainations, so much crying on ze interwebs otherwise =/ a) Blizzard will explain the reasons behind the balance patch. They always do it. b) Infestors are still so damn powerful, playing against ling/infestor was already tough even with 4+ colossi. You won't see them melt stalkers/void rays anymore. c) Immortals don't laugh at roaches, roaches laugh at immortals. Only when you get a significant amount of immortals (one layer in front of stalkers) do immortals become a threat. | ||

to the terran complaining about it: no one liked workers being 2 shot, and having a bunch of workers die by having them "LINED UP." | ||
