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 | ||

Hellion nerf is the only balance change i agree with and that's mainly 'cause the unit is stupid. Vulture requires heavy micro, hellion requires no micro (only proper movement past spine crawlers and such). Warp prism 40-100? Overkill. Warp prism will now be the new forward pylon (and also high ground vision pre-colossus). Fungal nerf is hardly a big change so won't address that. Ultra buff is.. weird. Ultras as a utility defense option? :s Don't see the point of this. Then a bunch of nerfs and buffs that all screw with established timings. Well, ok... That was the intent of the warp prism in the first place, that it would be a dropship that could be used as a forward pylon. The ultralisk change makes ultralisk switches better: if you sacrifice your whole army and do a lot of damage and then remax on ultras, your units will be ready a lot sooner so you can bum rush the enemy faster before he can recover. It's a good change I think. Also interesting: Issuing new orders to charging zealots will cause them to lose the charge buff. Fixed an issue where workers would not path around Force Field while harvesting. SCVs can no longer repair themselves while inside a Bunker or Medivac. Attack upgrades are now retained by units controlled by Neural Parasite. | ||

Not sure how much, but it's not necessarily insignificant. EDIT: I thought putting the shuttle speed upgrade at CyC would be a better way to make it more desirable than just a shield buff. | ||

It reminds me of there origanal 4 gate fix where they decreased zealot build time then 2 weeks later redacted that remembering why they had to increase it in the first place. This is essentially doing the zealot build time decrease so you are decreasing the time you have to prepare for it by the same amount so it will not go thru like the zealot change. Zealot build time decrease stacked for every Zealot you built. The barracks change is just a flat 5seconds | ||

Consider how much the roach range buff changed the game. Now it won't be as big, since the immortal is a more costly and advanced tech unit, but I still expect for Toss to be noticeably more effective. The fungal nerf certainly doesn't help. | ||

The game just started to kick into intense mode with the hellion play and then immediately cut short. | ||

Blizz didn't even wait for the metagame to catch up with blue flame. QQ wins again. It showed up last MLG, and they're already nerfing it. I think this is pretty silly. | ||

It really wasn't hard to stop a 2 rax for any race tho, especially at high level. An extra 5 seconds just pretty much means it isn't even viable any more as that 5 seconds will buy so much time for zerg to get that first batch of Lings out | ||

Rax build time change fucks with the OC timing. Now, your CC will be idle for 5 seconds before making OC, great. | ||
