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

Wow! That's a lot of changes. Hope it all works out. It all seems pretty reasonable but sometimes this much change can have unexpected consequences...

Huge patch.
I wonder what this will mean for PvP, it seems like blink builds will be much worse vs robo builds. Not sure why the blink change...

Nice to see them trying to make Ultras and Seeker Missile viable. : )

I feel the change that'll impact the MOST will be this:

Unit vision up ramps has been reduced by 1.

Does this mean units up on cliff will have more advantage finally?

Question is:

Is blue flame still worth the money/time/effort?

Im terran and i'm really happy with this.. the bonus to light units from blueflame was abit insane.. I LOVE the Hunter Seeker missile change!!!!! Im gonna have so much fun with that now

Also, the Fungal growth had it coming.. It did insane damage to every units in the game..

Overall, a really good patch I think!!

i LOVE this patch, think it'll help make PvP way more fun

6 range immo will be way more effective vs 4gate, 1base colossus pushes w/out lance, and heavy blink stalker builds (plus now blink rush is delayed)

pvp expanding will be viable!

looks like Raven Seeker Missile is back in play! fucking spell might be worth the 125 energy this time..

nerf for hellions is pretty okay.. the damn thing is still going to be pretty strong..

lol at barracks having increased time by 5 secs, like that's going to help out with the current all in by us in TvP :D
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

This patch is huge! Holy junk!

I don't know the math, but I have two questions:

How many shots will it take for a blue-flame hellion to kill a worker?
And how much of a reduction of damage is that for an infestor?

Some personal thoughts. Hunter seeker, heck yeah! Go terran! Perfect buff. Overseer change: Kinda a what? 50 more energy, 50 less gas.. Kinda wish they would have just reduced the gas. Oh well. I think I like it.

these are some pretty big changes, would love to see the reasoning behind many of these, glad to see Liquid Tyler's warp prism wish come true, and also cool to see them nerf the only OP zerg unit and the dreaded hellion.

other than that, kinda feels weird seeing such a substantial patch after all that time without many serious changes to the game
