the supply depot before rax SEEMS incredibly retarded, but until i actually see it play out in a game, i can't fully understand the timings. despite that, i just don't see how it improves the game at all, to force terrans to open like that. with protoss, it's only because they need pylon power to do anything that they have that restriction. i'm not a terran so i don't know how many builds get completely broken by this but i know there are at least some builds that go barracks first that have nothing to do with reaper.

Please no more Protoss. I played 10 games last night and was pitted against 9 Protoss and 1 Zerg. I got so sick of going my usual build against Protoss that I went something right off the wall and got face smashed, but at least it was some variety lol

I believe the supply before barracks requirement is really too devastating JUST to prevent turbo reaper abuse? That means Terrans would have no surefire build to stop 6 pool.

They should just remove Nitro Packs upgrade. Up the default speed on Reapers to what it would be with Nitro and require that a factory or ghost academy be built + tech lab on barracks before they can produce Reapers.

barracks - 150 minerals 40 build time
factory - 150 minerals 100 gas 60 build time
ghost academy - 150 minerals 50 gas 40 build time
reaper - 50 minerals 50 gas 45 build time

Seems like a fair trade to me.

Supplydepo + reaper speed moved to teh factory is essentially going to remove reapers form the game as a viable unit, why overdo things like this

What a horrible patch

Z can 14 hatch everygame vs T now risk free.

TvP being fucking stupid for terran doesn get addressed at all.

The matchup is horrible for both sides to play because its WHOEVER ATTACKS LOSES HAVE FUN. But T cant do shit with warped in templars with enough energy to storm.

Reapers are horrible after early game, why the hell would they do this to make them even more useless.

Maybe they should take back the tank nerf. Make the tank do 50 dmg to all units after patch 1.2 if these changes are made. That might be a good thing?

As a zerg player, I fear that these changes will make zerg too strong.

Adding roach range just seems a bit too much. Roaches already do a good job of dealing with hellions, and they are actually quite well vs stalkers if controlled properly. I guess it really depends on the amount of range increase. 1 range may not impact the game too much, but anything beyond that could be game breaking. It will be extremely easy to crush a protoss FE with cannons.

I like all other changes, though. 9 rax reaper is pretty ridiculous vs protoss from what I hear, so I am fine with that change.

Fungal growth on blink stalkers makes me super happy. I never understood why FG on stalkers didnt keep them rooted. Now infestors will actually be a viable unit in ZvP.


To those saying that reapers are dead, I must disagree. They are still extremely great units. They can scout easily and can control xel'naga towers quite effectively. The only difference now is that you wont be able to mass them and kite everything in the game. Maybe revert back to the old reaper build time now, though.

I really hope the HP increase for z buildings includes hatches. Stimmed MMM drops haunt my dreams.

I just hope they dont go overboard with the increased roach range. Anything above +1 range could be game breaking and make z way too strong.

Pretty excited about these changes. Hopefully we'll see a better representation of Zerg in leagues and tournaments.

Early reaper attacks were defensible, so I'm not quite sure if the factory nitro-pack is warranted. I welcome the roach range increase, it will certainly help against gateway units in general and terran bio.

Zerg buildings are way too easy to snipe as terran as seen in top level games.

I doubt it would be more than +1 range. That would be ridiculous. I would never get hydras ever again.

It could even be +.5 range and it would be a significant change.

A bit worried about the PvT comment... Also I wonder how they got their numbers, as they said they ajusted for skill level. What does that mean exactly? It seems fishy to say the least...

when they change the maps to larger ones a lot of people will hate these changes.... the reaper rush is good all because the maps are too small.

I'm very concerned that Blizzard feels there's a problem with PvT because protoss has a noticeably higher win percentage below diamond while at diamond it's basically even. You can't make balance decisions based on players that don't have a good grasp on the game, very disturbing.

Extra Roach Range, Blink not working in FG, and more health on Zerg Buildings?

Yes please! :3!

Edit: Look at their W/L breakdowns for the MUs.

Interesting stuff. They also have the Win%'s for the other leagues as well.



I was surprised to see that Zerg beat terran more often than not.

As for the zerg upgrade, I wholeheartedly agree witht he FG thing. I'm curious to see how much more range the roaches will be getting. Would they be getting 4 or 5. 5 would not mix well with hydras unless they had the range upgrade. 4 would work pretty well.

On a side note: Praise be to Yevon! Reapers are getting nerfed again. Now they just need overlords to be mandatory before zerglings and I wont have to build anything before 12 probes lol.

As a zerg player I'm liking the changes of course, though I can't say I agree with the depot before rax nerf, it limits some creativity in the game (even if it was primarily cheese).

I don't get why they do depot -> rax...yet don't put a cooldown on MULEs? Nobody wants terran early cheese to be nullified. We just want a similar importance on mechanics (at least I say this as a Zerg user).

I"m hoping this patch helps in the development of the reaper as more than just an early game harass unit. I'm still not convinced that it's completely useless latter game. I think there needs to be some more exploration done by higher tier players.

Concerning the depot before barracks change I think that it really won't much other than offsetting timings by a couple seconds, something that I level players can and will adapt too.

i'm not sure what these changes are supposed to fix, they're sure not gonna fix the current problems! we're gonna be playing a very different game if these changes go through

since they seem to go way overboard on things, it looks to me like zerg is gonna dominate 1.2. that should be fun, but with the current changes it'd be pretty awful! hopefully they reign it in a little bit and pay more attention to what better players are doing
