EPTwhen is ptr server up?
Patch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 39
| 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'd like to add that hellions get +1 damage but also +1 to light, giving them +2 damage vs light units. With 1 attack upgrade, they will deal 21 damage vs light, even with an armor upgrade from the opposing side they will still deal 20 damage which is sufficient to kill a probe or drone in 2 shots. So now what has changed is that it is no longer possible to 2 shot a large group of workers in the early game, but in the later stages when a terran player has both the blue flames and attack upgrades, it'll still be possible. I think some faith has been restored in the SC2 balance team now :O | ||

Sounds so stupid, you need a good 50 probes to support that many gates off two base... by the time that hits Terran should have like 3/4 Medivacs and nullify the push | ||

Someone please this is a troll thread. no nerf on banelings and "seems" like infestor nerf, but actually there's no nerf in TvZ since they will hold marines till banelings swipe them all. Z is a joke race. Nerf banelings, not rax build time, we need 2 rax dumbdumbs.... User was warned for this post | ||

Good insight pointing out the effect of doing mech +1 attack upgrade. That puts the nurf into a very different light for me. I for one ain't minding the nurf that much now. Hellion vs. workers were rather op. | ||

With cheaper overseers, that might have broken it. Pretty much - the cost for overseers to scout with (and changelings) are significantly cheaper, but the "cost" of using contaminate ends up being relatively unchanged - you make more overseers at about the same total money spent for however much contamination that you want to get done. | ||
