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

That fungal growth nerf was really useless. I was not shocked by the amount of damage they do, I was just pissed at how boring games become with fungal.

No 1/1/1 solution...well, poor toss I guess : /

That hellion nerf actually sucks for me, because I used mass blueflame to deal with high speedlot amounts.

I don't get the barracks build time change...

This is a generalized terran nerf. It's an extremely minor timing change. But it makes *everything* terrans can do 5 happen 5 seconds later (sometimes more). If you are generally ok with the sorts of units/strategies being used, but think terran is just overall slightly too strong, this is a decent way to deal with it.

Oh my god! Thank the heavens!

Immortal range upgrade will help immensely. Warp Prisms buff was HUGE! They will definitely see more use.

Infestors and Hellions nerfed a bit, this was kinda expected.

Ultralisk time reduced! Finally won't have to wait forever for them to pop!

This patch is so goodddddd! Definitely will like to see how this will play out.

I personally like the patch overall, despite being a Terran player.
However that hellion's nurf of 10 to 5 may be a bit extreme..

This will definitely change how a terran gets played post patch. =)
Come get some

Yessss, so stoked about this. The only thing I'm wondering is, can you still warp over a forcefield with a 4gate? or will the -1 vision stop that?


I think that's what it's meant to stop.

this is this first time i've looked at a patch notes and just liked everything in it almost without qualification so many interesting things from this

I'm sooooo happy right now. The immortals really need the range to be more useful in big armies because of their huge footprint and slow speed. Warp prisms not being paper airplanes will be sick too!
2 racks, and infestors, nerfed also makes me happy. The 2 racks nerf will help with the 1-1-1 because the early toss expo's wont just die to 2 racks (hopefully). But really infestors need their utility toned down more than just a reduction to their armored dmg. They fill way too many roles and counter too many things. They will still be scary as hell imo. This is going to be a huge change to every matchup though, I'm very excited to see this. I just wonder how many of these will make it out of ptr when the whine war gets going.

What is the point of getting Infernal Preigniter now? The spell is so expensive for 5 extra damage.

Looks like hellions won't be so popular anymore
Interesting contaminate change, didn't think many people used it, let alone thought it needed a change.


Browder (Nestea fanboy who said Overseer seemed useless) probably had his jaw drop when he saw Nestea use it in the finals.

Also it's probably also due to the Overseer cost reduction (if Overseers were that cheap, Contaminate might actually be a bit too strong but who knows).

As a zerg player, who uses infestors a LOT - I have to say, this patch looks AWESOME! I think the nerf is needed, but I like that it hasnt completely knocked out it's useability ingame

Hmmm, the fungal nerf will be weird, I'll definitely have to try it out. Overseer and ultralisk are great news, although I don't understand the contamination nerf. Hmmm, I never thought that fungal needed to be nerfed down though.
