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 don't understand the barracks build time

For slighty more time for zerg to build some zerglings to defend themselfs from terran allins and rushes.

mothership speed increase

Mothership speed is same. They're changed only accelerating (time to reach max speed), not speed.

This mothership speed buff is about to make mothership rush a lot better, and i feel that immortals & Ravens are definitely going to be used more often! Can someone explain whether the 40dmg vs armored or the +30% dmg is better?


Before: 36, 47 vs Armored
After: 30, 40 vs Armored

So, a straight nerf.

Zerg can now easily safely expand 15 hatch 15 pool v T, we can actually breath during hellion harass ... I like.



if the barracks change turns out to be that big a deal terran will struggle to pressure zerg at all until the mid game :D

so either double expanding will become standard for T or the barracks change will have to not be such a big deal.

the fact you see 2 raxing on tal darim makes me think that 5 seconds wont be a problem on most maps

Mothership should be able to call down DONKEYs that mine 20 gas per trip and last ~60 seconds, and can mine over probes.

Overall these seem like enjoyable patch notes for Protoss and Zerg. A couple interesting things I noted was that Zerg now has the cheapest mobile detection. A Warp prism can take 9 (instead of 6) volleys from a missile turret (and 14 (instead of 10) attacks from a spore crawler). Blue flame hellions now kill workers in 3 shots but 2 shots with +2 weapons ( So if the scv has +3 armor it cannot get 2 shotted by a hellion). Hunter Seeker missile now is faster then workers, vikings, banshees, warp prism (without speed), zealots, DTs, archons, medivacs, banelings (without speed or creep), roachs (with speed off creep ( non speed on creep are fine though), and overseers/overlords with speed.
Just somethings I noticed that I found intriguing.
Some people tell me Protoss is OP, Zerg can have over 200 supply, terrans can have kill their SCV and use mules. I hate probes.

I think Hellions are still going to be a great unit

The more I play the PTR, the more I realize how much a joke this game is. The zerg race is fundamentally broken. It's poorly designed, and no amount of patching is going to fix it. Blizzard expects us to wait a year and pay money just to give them the chance to actually balance the game. It's absurd. It's a sign for zergs to invest their time in a different game.

As cool as the patch sounds, I hope they don't take "complaints" too far and just constantly nerf the meta-game in the future even if they meta-game is fine down the road.


That's what happen to and killed wow.

Of course they are still gonna be great. Terrans only need to make 1 more hellion to do the same amount of damage they did to a ball of light units / workers.

BUNCH EM UP

It could be pretty hard to micro out of if the missiles are launched at close range/several are launched simultaneously at a mineral line.

Wrong. +1 weapons is a 2 shot again (on drones and probes). +2 weapons and up is a 2 shot with any level of armor.

Only SCVs work in the manner that you're thinking of, they have more HP than the other workers.

Changing it to +5 was the smallest nerf that would've mattered. +6 would be effectively the same, and +4 would be substantially worse. As is, +1 mech is now a way more important upgrade to get.

This sounds like an amazing patch. Even as a Zerg player, I'd prefer Fungal being changed from freeze to slow though, and keeping the damage. Warpprisms sound great. And again, as a Zerg player, I think 5 for blue flame is too little. Maybe 7. Seeker missles are great.

I have a feeling Blizz is listening to State of the Game .

Immortal and Mothership changes sound awesome while still keeping the game fine. Blink too.

Even the Bnet changes are sick!


i would rather have the freeze on the fungal its great running banes in on a large group of marines and just sitting back and watching the magic

Yeah I'm a terran and I'm still looking foreward to some awesome warp prism micro. Seriously it's such an underused unit, special tactics all the way!!!
