damn they really hate AOE in this game, everything has the aoe damage nerfed due to the stupid path that make units clump so much...they are ruining this game cause of the pathfiding, saddest thing ever

The mines will be good against protoss, and maybe against zerg in the lategame? If a mine blows up a ling, it's really not cost efficiënt . If it blows up an ultralisk it will be epic :D

Well, it looks like the AoE radius is nerfed, but in exchange they buffed the damage to compensate.

It's not that bad of a tradeoff.

hots was delayed, but that's because the dev team wanted the game to be more fun, now they're balance tweaking with the beta and the game should be released soon(tm).


Wow they removed the Mine's timer? That's amazing. Any news on whether or not it has friendly fire?
The replay change addition sounds great.

Thanks for the translation.

If the mine is an instant damage, then i would expect that there is friendly fire.

Is it sure there's no delay anymore ?
I certainly do hope so, but it kinda sucks if you can't kill the mine when it unborrows.

Intesting so does it explode immediately now or something? I mean I know from the BR I saw no timer on it but it still took a decent amount of time before it exploded.
When I think of something else, something will go here

There was a timer for the Widow Mine in the TvP Battle Report. You see it when it latches onto the harassing Oracle.

Well I mean it didn't look anywhere near as big as before. Hm very curious how they changed it. Actually I want to know everything that has changed from a few months ago in hots to now.

Timer sounds more like a visual change rather than removal of the countdown. I think it just means you can't see how long till the unit explodes in game (But probably still can in a replay, which is why we saw it in the battle report).

All we know about that battle report is that it wasn't recorded live. It might a few weeks old, it might be a few months old. Neither the custom map nor the battle reports, nor what people played at gamescom this weekend, is a 100% correct reflection of the newest build of hots that is being played at blizzard right now. For all we know the carrier might be stil in and the tempest and widow mine removed...

I have anecdotal confirmation that the mine acts just like a spider mine (except damage, and that it hits air still)
Not sure about FF though

if you consider a single 1v1 fight no kiting no upgrades, he is right.

Abstracting the situation so that it doesn't even include micro is absurd.

the point is the zealot is more cost effective

In a situation that doesn't actually exist, sure. I guess Drones are also efficient against Infestors if they don't use Fungal.

completely different scenarios its not always possible to perfectly micro roachs to kite zealots especailyl in early game scenarios



In a professional SC2 game, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3....100v100 roach beats zealots 100% of the time. Anything else is irrelevant. Stop arguing a STUPID FUCKING POINT

in a professional starcraft games its common for Zealots to outnumber the roachs so the raochs have to spend too much time kiting and the third gets sniped


Dang, guess professional starcraft 2 is different to different people

youve never seen 2 base 4 gate pressure on a third before?


I saw it work effectively ~3 months ago.


wow that was embarassing

the guy should at least hide that he has gold league game knowledge :/

Good good. Now give the mines to Reaper and we could end up with interesting game dynamics and unit compositions.

I know giving them to Hellions make more sense from BW mech style point of view but I rather go with Reapers and see how that works out. Maybe with cliff jumping it would be too OP and I dont think they would remove such ability from Reaper as the whole unit is designed around that idea. Oh well...
