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 am concerned that Terran is suffering a little TOO much though (never thought I would say that)... The barracks time increase makes some kind of early game push a little better? bane bust idk... | ||

The biggest change to me (as a Zerg player) is the Ultralisk build time decrease. 15 seconds faster is a huge difference! Now I think they can actually be used in high economy, "Sauron style" situations where you just keep rallying lings and ultras at the opponent til you break them, and that makes me very happy. Late game Zerg has been good, mainly because of brood lords, but it makes me feel like I'm playing Protoss with my big Brood Lord infestor ball that can hardly move  . | ||

Bug Fixes -Transports can no longer unload units into a dense area if the original order was issued on a fogged location. This change is interesting. I wonder if it will have any impact on the effectiveness of baneling drops. Edit: -Issuing new orders to charging zealots will cause them to lose the charge buff. And this one makes me sad. I don't think it was too exploitable, and it was always funny to watch. | ||

I think it goes from 8 (+16 light) to 8 (+11 light) with the blue flame upgrade. It seems like zerglings, with 35hp, will still get killed by two volleys. I guess it's nice to have some more drone surviivability, though. Looks like the only changes to combat will be in TvT. | ||

Why... I can imagine this being pretty damn annoying. Trying to adjust spines against bunker rushes is gonna be really unforgiving now. | ||

The Ultralisks always felt like they took interminably long to build. I've lost plenty a game waiting for ultras to pop, which is why I just phased them out of my play completely. | ||

Infestor...A little less op The unit vision thing plus the blink nerf is a godsend vs blink stalker rushes thank you blizzard immortal buff...not too sure about this one I guess it's cause they look stupid dancing around in the middle of a protoss death ball when they should be shooting at something Mothership LOL looks like mama's been working out Warp prism...A $#@& Dt's in my base. I'm thinking sensor tower becomes standard for terran Hellion nerf....sadly needed TvT has gone F-ing crazy Raven buff...Seeker missile now faster than vikings hell yeah it's about time!!! Overseer...needed vs DT and banshee harassment...but it makes nuking harder  Corruption? I think it's kinda dumb honestly it's like well what zerg unit can we buff now. Ultralisk...ummm yeah thanks blizz Barracks...I'm thinking 5 seconds more bullshit from probe harass and a slower 2 rax Overall LOVE THIS PATCH | ||
