EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 226
| Forum Index > Closed |
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 | ||

(spaming TS) before when you get HTs you spam TS (ower minerall lines ) ower army as toss u build HTs and that is it there is no reason whay not spam HTs... also now its hepening with INFESTORS....  i think remove energy up would help...(to not spam inf like crazy)Infestors need to slide everywhere....templar were just being warped in and stormed ANYWHERE on the map. That is why they needed to remove amulet but why glands should stay as well as mobius reactor. | ||

And pure zerglings shouldn't be made to defend against hellions, you have roaches for them, but because zerg players are so fucknig greedy, they are not going to spend money and gas on "expensive" roach tech ... Ofcourse you would get some roaches if you actually scout some hellions, especially blue-flame. Still hellions can do alot of harrass with drops or even without them, throughout the game. and its not that bad to have some out for zerglings trying to attack some expand or something. | ||

That is an extremely slippery slope you're going down there... So one strong unit should *always* require a "counter"-unit to be dealt with, no matter what? Even if some units are very good vs others (blueflame helions vs lings etc), it would make for a very boring game if the unit compositions would be that linear (atm you can deal with blueflame helions with good surrounds, spines, etc at least). | ||

Only thing I'd like to see is 10% slower banshee attack speed and 5% slower muta movement speed, or 5% weaker attack strength. (before attacking me, look at how small the numbers are I'm suggesting) Small numbers are pointless. I'll attack you because you want to make a meaningless change like that when all of those units are fine. | ||

My head hurts from the whole text so let me just focus on what I bolded. How are zergs producing more infestors then toss HT? You know they cost the same? You know you can warp HT from warpgates with 30s cooldown while infestors are 50s buildtime? At least toss can somehow kill off infestors before they use fungal growth. How do zerg stop Storm? | ||

How do zerg stop Storm? He probably said that because generally most protoss compositions are much more gas intensive than zerg's for ling-infestor-(roach) styles. The only unit cheap in gas for us is the zealot, which is fairly cost inefficient against about all zerg units. So yeah, generally it's just a fact that zerg will have way more infestors than we have templars, because he can choose to dump all of his gas in them, while we reasonably cannot. That being said, a fully charged templar can feedback 4 infestors, so it's not like we need a 1-to-1 ratio anyway. | ||

Now i don't know how people consider things to be OP, but if i remember correctly, the voidray was nerfed from 7 to 6 range because Marines couldnt hit it, Yet. a Unit that makes a whole army stand still and unable to attack Blords ect gets to stay. Zerg's defending the Infestors are ruining the game, its literally the worst mechanic in game, it ruins not only Micro but it also ruins all engagements late game. a Zerg can Trade army's with a Protoss @ 200/200, when they can resupply 200/200 in less then 40sec. It nullifies any harass whatsoever and it also nullifies any Engagement. Shit is funny Really like the Immortal change tho, going to help defend against 1-1-1 and Early aggression from Terran's. Warp prism Buff is also extremely good if not a little too good imo. wel see. | ||

Ghosts and HTs are very effective at countering infestors. The fact that so few people use them (and even fewer use them well) is not a balance concern. | ||

I'm not seeing any convincing signs that zerg is overpowered, in any matchup, at any level. Ghosts and HTs are very effective at countering infestors. The fact that so few people use them (and even fewer use them well) is not a balance concern. m8 what to adapt ? on what ? infestors spam marines kill nexus kill army with FG kill colloss with coroption (take controll of your colloss) spam infestors spam FG ... all game... That unite is more broken then marines lol  simply one unite to kill everything is bad gameplay in my point of weuve its not yust balance its gameplay to... they should revork maby hirdas or something but problem is that 1 unite do the job of 3 unites... that is = broken gameplay...(like marines..) air graund armored light ...whatewer... its not yust balance its gameplay..end | ||
