EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 297
| 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'm not too sure about zvt, it's always better to Neural tanks anyway rather than Thors. Since the tanks will kill your infestor otherwise as Thors are usually at the back. | ||

Roaches counter early mech and if played correctly (read not suiciding = in head on attacks) can maintain a certain measure of control in the game. Ultras are pretty good as are broodlords. Actually magic boxed mutas in certain cases also troll mech. Once enough thors are out and the terran hits 3/3 ultras just melt before they get in contact, roaches die incredibly fast with tanks support or without, zerglings same. The only thing that works is broodlords but you have to rush for them and it's not hard for a terran to add 2+ starports and start massing vikings lategame. It seems that in high level play mech is not popular in TvZ, so I suppose there is a valid reason to that, but I can't see how to beat a good meching terran without neural parasite. | ||

Not only is fungal "more" range than feedback, but infestors move faster than HTs even when they're off creep. It takes some amount of slop to get owned by feedback. Even with my shitty infestor control, I often at least have dumped most of my energy on fungal/neural by the time feedbacks land in a big engagement. If they lead with HTs they can try to land them, but run the risk of getting their HT sniped by fungal or just a small group of units to no effect. Seriously, when a unit in an RTS is both outranged and outspeeded by an opposing unit, what happens EVERY TIME when players are skilled? The slow/short range unit loses. That's basic unit dynamics. Why do HT lose to ghosts and Infestors so badly? Because they're shorter range and slower speed. | ||

Time to start practice making ultras seeing as blizz obv wants them to be used more. | ||

For people whining this is a PUBLIC TEST so a number of changes are done for observation and probabably wont even stick... I like how people have basically forgotten that carriers exist. | ||

They're nothing but fully automated robots while Motherships are piloted by living Protoss captains. Lore isn't the reason they make balance changes though that's for sure. The lore part was just an after thought. people are complaining about how they have to deal with colossus now. So allow colossus to be NP while other massive units such as Mothership/arcon which can be dealt with in other ways cant? | ||

Master Protoss here and i've never had that happen to me. Also, storm sucks against protoss units so the micro effort simply won't be worth it. Instead you should try to focus on neuraling immortals/colossi and other powerhouse units. | ||

Feedback has a range of 9. It can hit units 9 distance away. Fungal Growth has a range of 9 and a radius of 2 (it is an AOE attack). Therefore it can hit units 11 distance away. | ||
