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 | ||

The thing is, zergs do not select infestors to cast fungal with and often do not check if it is in range. They click fungal at the spot and there is a delay from that moment and the moment infestor with enough mana comes to range and casts it. | ||

(though there also were some infestors/blings mixed in, thats to keep in mind). You based your entire theory of roach hydra taking over the world from one guy who is better than you beating you. Roach Hydra results in Terran being up in bases because Zerg cannot do a thing to deny it. Tanks. Marines in large numbers cannot be beaten by any non aoe unit in the game, and destroy roach/hydra with medivac support. Equal supplies of marines and roach/hydra would be a funny thing to watch. Roaches and hydras just overkill way too much to be considered good dps units. They can't defeat mass stalkers I don't see how they can defeat marines. Tanks. Also, how do you deal with drops? They are so slow. Also, tanks. | ||

More often than not even if Hellion/Drop is scouted or the base is well defended, Hellions with their mobility can still break though and get to the worker line with little problems. Its kinda crazy how they can come out with a huge advantage with reckless play. Running blindly into a defended base should require more risk on the attackers side. If you can't manage that extra 2.5 seconds somehow, maybe you should consider not attacking at all and saving yourself some hellions. | ||

This should alleviate “Mothership Lag” issue when a Mothership comes online. lol genius solution! I'm sad that there's no 1/1/1 nerf though. Not sure if serious... | ||

Overseer change means that they balanced contaminate according to its gas cost. Since the gas cost is halved, you would get double the contaminates if you still spend 100 gas on overseers. To prevent cheap massing of overseers to get too strong, they nerfed the contaminate cost preemtively. Not sure if that's a good thing, contaminate is not a powerful spell at all with only slight usefulness in ZvZ.. Fungal change will make zerglings better in ZvZ I guess. And massing Ultras should go faster (especially when defending they build way too slow). This patch may make me play some more sc2 again (was bored with it, also due to the new maps). | ||

I like how you did the math, 36-30=6 good job buddy  NOt but really i dont get why is the barrack takes 5 sec more to construct. As a protoss i think is blink take 30 sec more, PVP will come back to 4gate more than the 3gate blink opener | ||

No idea why developers make changes in graphics, spell and sound effects to make things look and sound pretty but actually makes gameplay worse. Arbiters had the same ability in BW, weren't restricted to 1 and didn't have this problem. Now there's lag? | ||

It can kill so much shit. 2 ravens 2 HSMs and a lot of units will just evaporate The HSM might be faster but the range is still low. Not to mention the slow speed of the raven itself. I think it will be worth testing to see the effectiveness of the speed increase. | ||

That is a dodge. You have a curious definition of dodgeable. Seeker missile is dodgeable, fungal is instant cast and undodgeable. Moving before they cast it because their infestor is stuck in the back is not dodging, it's prediction - realising you're about to get fungalled and moving/spreading. You can't dodge something that happens the instant you cast it, which fungal does. | ||

I would of been happy with the energy being reduced down to 75 and do 75 damage instead of 100. All other races have an awesome spell caster(Infestor, HT) that do insane damage. If Raven seeker missle was 75 energy it would balance the spell casters out a bit. Ghost just arent cutting it anymore. Yes, you are completely right. Maybe you should tell that to all the Terrans that were owning Puzzle yesterdays on his stream with those Ghosts are not awesome... | ||
