-fungal growth stopping blink seems reasonable -supply depo before rax personally doesn't bother me (not just because I never really open with it anyways) because it was mostly a cheesy opening to begin with it also eliminates one of the openings terran has and if so many people are complaining it has too many openings, this should be a relief to them very much so. i just hope this doesn't eliminate the terran's ability to proxy rush because protoss still have said ability and zerg still have 6-pool (it probably won't though) -this seems like a laughable change because who honestly builds reapers by the time your factory is up anyways and the barracks change seems like it already addresses early reaper-cheesing. i think they may have over-nerfed reapers but i never really used them anyways so i'm not complaining -as long as they don't over-do it i don't really have too much of a problem with this change either overall, pretty decent decisions so far, keep it up blizz | ||

Zerg changes, I agree with. Nitro Packs requiring Factory...iffy. But I wholeheartedly agree. Barracks requiring Supply Depot is completely idiotic. | ||

I don't think speed reapers are really a big deal anymore but I guess it's nice that 5RR won't really be viable anymore, especially factoring in the roach range as well. I'm assuming roach range will be 4? Would make sense, I don't see then giving a HUGE roach buff...(It's still huge, but not HUGE) But I've been wrong before. | ||

They are made out of paper and die too easily, going mass Roach against Toss now will never be a "bad idea". Not like Storm or Colossi are going to do all that much | ||

I agree... 1) Most BOs build a depot first anyway. 2) This will only limit Terran's ability to do fun/cute cheese strats; less variety = bad. 3) In late-game stalemate/base-trade situations, this could be a big problem; e.g., a Terran player has three command centers, but all their rax/depots have been taken out; even though they have plenty of supply, they'll have to built a depot before a rax. blegh. I suppose this might make up for being able to float buildings. Other than that, this patch looks great! | ||

Win % in Diamond (accounting for player skill) TvP 50.4% PvZ 52.8% ZvT 50.4% That maps my intuition quite well. Still, there are huge map imbas. On October 08 2010 01:16 Woony wrote: Nice.

The reaper speed upgrade will require the Factory, which is meant to weaken a lot of the early terran reaper attacks that dominate so many matches, especially in team games. We're making a number of increases to the health of zerg buildings, which will make the very vulnerable zerg technology structures more resistant to raids. We don’t expect these hit point changes to have a super significant impact on the game, but the current numbers felt way too low. Not so nice. Reapers will be gone and I hope that they aren't talking about spine crawlers, hatcheries and pools. If they will allow any Zerg to get his fe through against Protoss, they will all die to masses of mutalisks. | ||

52.8% win rate for Protoss when fighting Zerg. (Diamond) 47.3% win rate for Protoss when fighting Zerg. (Plat) 61.1% win rate for Protoss when fighting Zerg. (Gold) Do all Plat toss 4 gate and none in gold know how to do it? Quite a difference there. | ||

Overall at least blizzard is "trying" this time, but they still are not hitting the mark. | ||
