EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 6

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 | ||

Don't understand the blink timing at all. Very good patch for zergs. Cheaper detection.(Cheapest mobile detection in fact now.) Blink timings got neutered even after zergs had figured out the timings for them. I still think that spore crawler change is going to have to be fixed. Still should be interesting. Warp prism clearly listening to Tyler. Immortal change took long enough. I suppose the microing was too much of a pain/ needed to get through a marine screen. I wonder how much Bliz listens to the foreign scene for patch ideas. | ||

Warp Prism Shields increased from 40 to 100. Fuck. Yes. I believe this will allow gosu Protoss' to show off their micro skills. | ||

THIS SUX. I'm kind of mad because hellion effectiveness vs zealots has decreased a lot even though it seemed like hellions were the only legitimate way to deal with zealots in my opinion. Now hellions 3 shot drones instead of 2 shot. | ||

i don't see it being a huge issue but i'll probably be getting overseers more often because of their cost decrease | ||

I'm sure they're open to see how this plays out. 1base blink rushes are getting super common in PvP... the delay combined with immortal nerf could be helping push PvP in a more macro-oriented direction? | ||

Hellions nerfed! Ultralisk buff! Mothership buff! Blinkstalker nerf! Fungal nerf not too severe! This is like the nerf to annoying things patch. The game is gonna be so much more fun.

This should alleviate “Mothership Lag” issue when a Mothership comes online. lol genius solution! I'm sad that there's no 1/1/1 nerf though. 1/1/1 nerf might be hidden in the immortal buff. | ||

Contaminate is the single greatest spell in the game. They're prefixing a problem caused by reduction in price. | ||

A buff to NP? (it's listed as a bug fix though) Another interesting bug fix "Sentry Guardian Shield now correctly reduces damage from Hellion, Void ray, and Colossus attacks as well as the Siege Tank’s sieged attack." | ||
