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 | ||

Difference seems very small. pretty much -6 to both types of units which means it takes more fungals to kill any type of unit (duch as VR and viking).. Looks to be their solution to infestor BL late game but I don't know if this was the way to go about it since zerg now has even less reliable anti air. | ||

This is a ridiculously stupid response. The only reason behind the existence of mass BFH is to cripple worker lines. Guess what? +5 = 3 shots to kill worker = SAME SHOTS AS WITHOUT BLUE FLAME. Why would I want to pay 150/150 for +5 damage on a unit that is essentially only useful early game (ie: clear lings) except in the economy killing role? As for marines, there really is no relevance and this patch does not address them whatsoever. They play a strong roll in the T army and both Z and P have very powerful counters (infestor/colossi). | ||

Something along the lines of the Ultra build time change would be good. | ||

Blink Upgrade research time increase: Once again, blizzard has decided to stomp on the norm and create new norms of PvP. From 90% PvP games being 4gate and now it's 3gate blink(with delayed 4th gate) now hopefully to something a little different. (hey, who knows, might go back to 4 gate) Immortal range upgrade: Bro, Immortals are meant to COUNTER stalkers, many situations blink stalkers counter immortals (stalker gets a free 1st hit against it due to range 6) In a protoss ball scenario, often I see immortals struggling to squeeze through stalkers to land a hit causing extra apm to micro your own stalkers for your immortals, now they can be all on the same 'arc'. Warp prism shields: Eh, underused unit in blizzard's eyes? Me thinks it's a patch to counter the 1/1/1 terran build, allowing protoss to do the good ole zealot bomb against tank lines while being able to take extra hits (so it doesn't snap down like a fly when marines focus fire on it). I personally think immortal + 2 zealot to snipe out tank is a good idea, but I haven't practiced enough on it yet. Oh and... Barracks build time +5 seconds? Isn't that skewing towards the nit-picking side of things blizzard? I cant find a real reason to warrant this change, is terran barracks really that imbalanced? | ||

HSM still useless against Z units on creep. On one hand BFH nerf was needed, on the other, wtf Ultras? | ||

Overall, a good balance patch. Terran - don't understand barracks change. Terran already have a timing window of weakness when they're setting up addons on their rax, this will only make it worse. Hellion - ughh I really don't like this. I understand why they did it (Hellions were raping workers too easily and too quickly), but the side affect is that BF hellions will now be considerably weaker against light units in straight up battles. HSM change is great. This was very, very needed to actually make it a useful ability. Not exactly sure if that's enough speed though. Toss - good changes, Immortal was especially neeeded imo. Blink reduction wasn't really required, but I suppose it weakens 1 base play and 1 base all-ins in PvZ and PvP so that's always a good thing. Zerg - omg Finally a fungal nerf, it was too strong of an ability. This is much more balanced, especially since they still keep the 4 second fungal speed. Ultra buff is obv good since ultras don't see enough use. | ||

No real reason given or needed, just ever blizzard patch has to nerf terran a bit more than anyone else. (i play random so i like to think im unbiased) It IS huge, it should now be possible to force field your ramp and have it not be able to be warped or blunk up, which is certainly a good thing, the longer blink time and better immortals should also mean good things for getting past 1 base PvP being able to use Immortals to expand. | ||

well since the damage nerf to hellions(its not a lot but it will set it back a bit) killing units that are not workers will require a lot more micro than before. | ||

With cheaper overseers, that might have broken it. | ||
