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 | ||

Nerf hellions health with from 90 to 80. (They are so fast so it's hard to get hits on them) Increase infestors infested terran spell to 30. (so they cant spawn 8 infested terrans per infestor) | ||

Such a baby step towards making tactics a bigger deal towards SC2 but much appreciated! + Seeker missile movement speed increased from 2.5 to 2.953. Would have preferred longer range. It's OK if people micro out of it, but the range is so small now it's basically a suicide mission. | ||

It's this kind of stuff I get the feeling Blizz never thinks about. It's not just a 5 second flat delay on the first marine. It delays everything including factory, orbital, mule, etc. Plus 5 seconds of idle CC time. This is much bigger than people give it credit. | ||

Immortal range should definitely help with the 1/1/1, but by how much remains to be seen. Warp prism health increase was very much needed, they were like paper before, nowhere close to as cost efficient as dropping OLs or medivacs. I don't understand the Rax build time increase. I don' t think 2rax is that big of an issue.... on close positions, yes... well, again remains to be seen. Seeker missile speed increase, Ravens getting some love. | ||

This should alleviate “Mothership Lag” issue when a Mothership comes online." 25 units get added to the cloak per second. this is most likely to help with the huge lag most people get when the mothership pops out of your base and all your probes and builds get cloaked at the same time. could be interesting with a NPed mothership though, though 25 units per second is still pretty fucking quick. it would take two seconds to completely cloak an army, though the mothership cloaking range isn't THAT huge, so i don't see more than 50 units being cloaked at the same time anyway | ||

It probably is about the same for contaminate in terms of minerals/gas if that makes sense. They probably felt contaminate was fine but wanted your detection and maybe scouting to be a little cheaper so they buffed that. | ||
