EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 27
| 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 | ||

I love all the other changes, not trying to whine too much. Just wondering where Blizz got the mind to change contaminate. | ||

It was where you can blink one stalker over a force field at the bottom of a ramp no matter were it was placed (usually to provide vision for more stalkers to blink up) | ||

I'd say most Terran players really want their old Mech style from brood war back and anytime we make any progress getting it back it's immediately stomped into the ground by blizzard because David Kim likes microing his marauders and calling it Terran. What this guy fucking said. And Marines. | ||

Contaminate was abused on occasion. Nestea vs, Losira GSl finals, and a few ZvZ has seen repeated contaminate used as a strat. | ||

Not a big fan of the Barracks build time nerf. The Hellion nerf is not that bad, but still a little bit confusing. Guess they were tired of the current TvT and TvZ metagame. Love the HSM buff though. Also love the Fungal Growth Damage nerf. Chain Fungals is the least fun mechanic in Starcraft 2. | ||

Fixed an issue where Drone attacks could be more easily dodged than SCV or Probes. Finally! I wonder if they only just noticed this now or didn't change it for a reason before. | ||

Warp Prism buff: This might be an over-the-top buff, but at least now people will use it  .Contaminate nerf: Absolutely needed with how cheap Overseers now are (this ability is bloody powerful btw). BFH Nerf: I love blue flame hellions, so this nerf makes me sad, but also happy for when I roll Zerg .Things I don't like: Overseer buff: 50 gas is way too cheap for a mobile detector. Zerg already have the easiest to get mobile detector in the game, now they also have the cheapest (and I also believe meatiest?) one too. Should be 75 gas or no change. Fungal Growth nerf: Not saying something wasn't needed here but I'd have preferred to see Fungal be made to use a projectile to introduce more micro (by both sides) and nerf it by making it possible to miss. Things that didn't need to be there (or that I just don't get): Mothership changes: Not bad, but who cares really? Barracks build time increased: Umm...Huh? The only thing I can think is that the 2-rax push is now delayed by 5 seconds which means 1-gate expand for protoss is now more viable and zerg can be a breathe a little easier in the early game. Blink research time increased: Can't really see the point for this one to be honest. I guess it'll delay blink pushes...except that it'll just mean less chrono-boosts on the nexus for me which means less probes. As for overseers, i think they are 'meaty' because they give supply. ie, you can get supply blocked from them dying. Also, they are not cloaked like the observer, which is 25-75. So an overseer being 150-50 seems reasonable to me. I agree with your thoughts about the fungal though. | ||
