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 | ||

Unit vision up ramps has been reduced by 1. What exactly does this affect? Mainly warping in units on the ramp i guess? | ||

It could die sometimes to rush blink timings, so i think the immortal buff + blink time will make this opening even safer and more viable than before. I dont think more ppl will 4gate...it will be about the same as it is now. people never really went blink to counter 4gate anyways... At this point in time I think blink rushing is pretty dead in PvP. Now one well placed FF will ALWAYS deny access into the base without an observer, so I guess we can finally be greedy techwise in PvP. Doesn't really change the fact that we still won't have a safe expansion build, but that's just an inherent problem with the warpgate mechanic, so it won't be changed. | ||

+1 vehicle attack will be better all around for TvT - Makes alot of sense since it's alot of mech usually anyway. | ||

Liking all the other balances, infestor damage not really that bad (I don't think it will ruin destiny). To me it feels like blue flame was nerfed a little to much? Maybe not, it always felt weird the way that the blue flame upgrade effected hellions. without blue flame you would need to micro them well to get some good kills, but with blue flame you could easily just attack move and get kills. | ||

A proxy 2 gate will be extremely hard to hold now. | ||

Like Zealot lines. Not true. BFH now need 3 shots for workers. BFH roasting entire ecolines is the only reason why this nerf is coming. They were never a counter to a zealotheavy composition. They were not efficient in a straight up fight against protoss and they suck now. Basically they werent great against any unit except lings and workers. | ||

So you must be telling the truth. | ||

I bet if Blizz didn't list the change, 99% of you wouldn't have even noticed it. It's a very minor change that will only affect the very highest level of play. | ||

But all in all, a very good patch, seems like they've managed to please quite a good number of players this time! Well done Blizzard!! | ||

He lost the warp prism in both games against SelecT and PuMa, so... it's viable for a selected few. | ||
