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 just feels so sexy and beastly. Damn this is how the unit should have been in the first place. Immortals are still pretty clunky but they can and will do more damage against Marauders. | ||

yea and for the opposing player all they see is the canceled words, they also can see "salvaged" from bunkers. I also noticed the ladder and score screen has been changed and looks a lot better. | ||

Plus, if the Raven becomes viable in TvZ, Artosis gonna have nerd chills. Not to mention, return of the SK Terran style. | ||

It's also a lot better against stalkers and has equal range to a non thermal lance colo, overall it should hopefully help strengthen robo plays in pvp. | ||

Yeah, with 4gate indirectly nerfed(still, 4 gate maps like Taldarim make 4 gate viable) and the Blink Timming farther down the line PvP now seems much more stable. I am really happy with this but oh well its up to pros to break the MU again XD. And the 5 second nerf, while noticeable has barely no effects. Some fools tried to 2 gate proxy and 6 pool me and they still lose. Regardless 2 Proxy gate is now a pretty scary threat anyways. I think that unless you have godly micro if you let 2 gates build in your base it is instaloss but I have been extra careful in the PTR. | ||

This first one gives you your rank (doesn't name the rank though), your wins, bonus pool and ladder. Aesthetically, is looks great. Ignore me blocking out my name...it's pretty public anyways: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/eJHSe.jpg) To the left is a tab called "career". I assume it goes through all the seasons and gives you info on that. In our next screenshot, we have that tab opened: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/0ziKd.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MTsZC.jpg) Whenever you win, it shows your ranking, your opponents, and the bars look shinier (for lack of a better term). This essentially means no more going to the Match History tab to find out your opponents rank: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/vhR3L.jpg) I spam my APM by continuously scrolling though control groups, and as a result, my APM is around 100-130. Here is my APM now: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hisD8.jpg) This made me laugh! Current APM is pretty constant but there is a lot in patch 1.3 that will not be counted for 1.4. I got a couple screenshots for when you cancel a building. This is a nice change IMO and here is what it looks like: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/84oJV.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Fmln9.jpg) Feedback is welcome and I couldn't find pics like this using search. If this could make it's way to the OP it would be great! | ||

The damage to medivacs is slightly less now and so on.. | ||

Just tested it on the PTR with a metronome. It's 1 action. A selection counts as an action and successive selections do not. Once you do something else (e.g., issue a move command), the next selection you make counts as an action and so forth. (To see this on the PTR for yourself, go to metronomeonline.com and issue a drone to move on every click. Then hotkey your hatch and drone and then change your selection from hatch back to drone between clicks. You'll see that your APM in the second trial is 2x the APM of the first even though you would be issuing 3 actions under the old system.) | ||

Thanks, they all look great. And my favourite change is not having to go to my opponents profile to check his league. | ||

I have not played as Zerg but when I played as Terran Fungal didn´t feel as devastating as before(not implying it was Imba most of those devastating losses were due to my terrible control) | ||

"Fungal Growth damage changed from 36 (+30% armored) to 30 (40 vs Armored)." The overall damage was lowered, not just towards armored targets. As a result, now there's a smaller window to land the second fungal to kill a pack of fungaled marines before they get loose. | ||
