| 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 do think Blue flame nerf is severe though, i mean now it will be like reaper speed, still there but never used. | ||

That's what I was thinking, but I wonder, will the missile still follow the infestor if it burrows and runs before it gets hit? edit: another thought: I wonder if the 5 second delay of the rax, and hence orbital, would make cc first a more viable opening? | ||

And for only 150/150 at that? It's still a good deal, you just can't bank on it winning you the game early on anymore since you have to research +attack to 2-shot workers. | ||

I also wish they'd go right on and nerf marines instead of dicking around with the barracks so much. It's not like the marine isn't the reason that a barracks needs a supply depot and takes longer than a minute to build.... Not because I hate Terran--I play Terran--but simply because it'd be more elegant and direct. Hellions would still 2 shot probes but take 3 for the other races workers, so that would hardly be fair. | ||

But, no, please dismiss the whole post because you don't consider Carriers to be AOE. And, judging from other comments, it seems like many others are also questioning the Terran nerfs. It's not like I'm against Terran nerfs, this is just not the way to do it. At this point Blizzard needs to be using a scalpel, not a baseball bat. Carriers not being AOE isn't an opinion, that's a fact. | ||

If you told BW players two years ago that Terran was going to get Shuttle+Reaver+Defiler in one unit, no Zerg/Toss players would have switched. EDIT: Also, Immortals scare the hell out of me now... Time to play ZvP without Roaches. | ||

They don't need to nerf the research time, the need to nerf blink cooldown time I was thinking the exact same thing. And as for the ultra production buff, I think it'll be nice, though minor. When they cost 70 seconds, you essentially couldn't remax with them, but you'd never get the tech before you were maxed anyway, so you basically never got them. At 55, it's still a long wait, but much more viable. | ||
