Work on Marauders...I mean COME on! And how about Hydras? I suppose this is but a small step but it could have been better. | ||

Good for zerg, bad for me. As a protoss i'm 50/50 agaisnt protoss, 60/40 against terran, but around 40/60 against zerg, mostly because it's hard for me as a gold player to stop 14 pool, 15 hatch. | ||

Proxy void ray can be completely retarded when they hide it until they have 3 and you are unable to scout him properly, or scout him incorrectly. Not unbeatable, just stupid because if you dont prepare specifically for it, you die really hard. There are prob some terran equivalents of this of course. | ||

That's still a lot of time for the metagame for shift. Still, I can't help but feel like Blizzard is approaching SC2 balance the way they approach WoW balance, especially by factoring in plat/gold/silver/bronze win % numbers. :/ Knowing their behavior leading up to 1.1, we can't suspect anything but that these will be the only changes in the patch no matter how long we have to wait for it  Though I guess technically we should wait for Situation Report 2 before thinking we've seen all we'll see. | ||

Fun times. I think you are overreacting jinro, Zerg players need some way to deal with harass and its not like hellion builds are useless. Hellions still out range roaches just not as badly anymore. | ||

They're about abusing mobility to inflict eco damage. Unless Blizz does something dumb like give roaches hydra range, I think this will still be completely viable. They aren't giving roaches a speed boost. They'll still be slow as hell for the early hellion drone BBQ. Have you tried chasing down hellions with roaches + queen? Benny Hill anyone? (don't gimme that 'L2P noob,' even FruitDealer can't kill them easily) | ||

When has T ever struggled with stopping 6 pool? Finish your wall, pull 3 scvs to repair, and type "lol" repeatedly when your first marine pops out. | ||

I dont know, I just hope they dont nerf the reaper into oblivion. Work on Marauders...I mean COME on! And how about Hydras? I suppose this is but a small step but it could have been better. Watch them buff roaches to 7 so they out-range marauders. | ||

That said, reapers have always had an iffy design. They're a lot like void rays in that they feel gimmicky, running hot or cold. If these nerfs help bring more of their inherent structural weakness to the fore, maybe we can hope for a slight redesign that will help them be more useful in the mid-late game while not being an overwhelmingly frustrating cheese element in early game. | ||

Also roach range sounds soo awesome. I think that would be enough to help z vs reapers after their build time nerf. | ||

But they are really focusing on Reapers more than any unit in the game lately. I think the late time build is good enough. I think they should focus on another Terran unit rather than Reapers. IMO I think Medivacs need a little nerf. Nothing to big though. Maybe make them a bit slower or something. Those drops...*sigh | ||
