EPTPatch 1.4 PTR Notes (updated 9/8) - Page 72
| 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 | ||

The effect is going to be huge. Gotta wait 5 seconds more to build an Orbital, which also means I gotta wait 5 more seconds to create another SCV. Infestors needed that nerf big time. They were getting so OP it wasn't even funny. I don't like the Ultralisk buff though. 15 seconds is a lot and it's a big game changer. They already do tons of splash damage. Protoss needed some of the buffs and some of the nerfs. However it still looks like that Zerg is OP. 70->55 is indeed a big jump, but Ultras still kind of suck... | ||

Immortal attack range is interesting, could be good or bad in the long run. Any Mothership buff is great, underused unit. Blink research is another interesting change, not sure if I like it though. Warp prism buff is great. Barracks build time nerf is unnecessary. Blue flame nerf is too severe, 6-7 would be fine. Seeker missile is strange, I guess they're trying to encourage more usage. Infestor nerf should be fine. Overseer costing only 50 gas is much much better, excellent buff. Not sure about the Ultralisk build time buff, could be ok. Overall I'd say 1.4 is a slightly better game, so +1 to Blizzard this time. | ||

Biggest change defenders advantage...unit's shooting up a ramp -1 range. Awesomeness. Barracks build time nerf. Helps toss and Zerg in keep the scout alive a bit longer, and delays a number of build times like the 1-1-1. Blink nerf, will wait and see for that one. | ||

tl;dr learn your shit and stop complaining about unit stats if you don't even know the correct values (half of you) | ||

I picked P in beta because I loved shit like Storm/Reaver drops. Now that I can do that with less risk of losing a ton of resources I'm going to have a great time! | ||

I wouldn't say that helion = reaper, however the upgrade now only makes sense when you have lots of them, which means that its effectively cuts down on Terran early harass options. Seems like an intended change cause of other races lack of harass options to me. This sucks... | ||
