I feel like these changes are enough to make a lot of people quit the game, a lot of the people who actually played a lot and liked the unique macro mechanics of SC2, like myself. | ||

StarBow for sure, or stick to HotS. | ||

Honestly, the other 100k core fans who loved the game for the mechanical aspects, multitasking macro and micro, already left years ago People who are still here by now are prooobably going to stay for a while more even though they might not play I think Think Nony said it quite well in his stream chat. loosely quoted: "it'll probably be alright enough for me. I'm just going to play it some and try to enjoy it for what it is" | ||

It simply is no fun for me to have the macro like that, it doesn't feel like starcraft while playing zerg On August 22 2015 01:11 Big J wrote: just watching Kiwikaki stream.

Except other races do have to take their eyes off their units...zerg doesn't anymore. I was upset with the state of Terran post-patch so I switched to playing zerg for 5 or so games, and I was suddenly able to compete with terrans and protoss at my level, which I found shocking. Usually my injects in Hots are really, really bad, and sit about 3 leagues below my terran, but I found I could play zerg and start winning against players just a little bit below my level. Not a good feeling. | ||

Ravagers and Disruptors First off, Ravagers are incredible. Probably too incredible. There is no way you can look away from a battle for even one second vs. a Zerg with Ravagers now that we can micro like mad as Zerg (which I absolutely love... much more BW-like). I mostly love this effect in the short run, but I wonder if it's not way too good. You can no longer chase down a retreating zerg either. I suspect fungal + Ravagers to be a great option for obvious reasons. Man can you micro those Ravagers though! Disruptors with new firing ability is better than it was, but not perfect. Has potential, but is very clunky compared to something like the ravager. Why not do away with the 1 second "can't move" deal after firing? It does require micro on both sides so that part looks promising. General Thoughts on Harassment and Defense On offense/harassment: Zerglings got better adrenal recently. Lurkers vs. workers. Ravagers. Zealots get better charge in this patch, and the prism pickup coolness. MMM was always wonderful harassment... medivac just got boosted even harder. Non-air unit harassment is real in SC2 now for all races?! This is exciting! On defense: 2 Liberators + 2 turrets are in SC2 what two high templar and cannons were in PvZ island matches in BW. They can defend a critical expansion very well on their own. Ground attack mode to stop basically any ground based harassment (aside from really long range stuff like the new Disruptors and siege tank harass). Air mode to stop muta harassment. | ||

I don't know, but I just don't agree with the idea that the disruptor needs to one-shot everything. If they put stupidly high stats on lowtier units like roaches or adepts then the solution is probably not to create units that still blow them up but to tone those stats back a little. | ||

The problem is not the other units, the problem is that the disruptor has a fairly high cooldown and if it wouldn't do burst dmg it probably would be useless. So you either lower the cd and thus can lower the dmg or you lower the dmg and design the other protoss units so they are the main dmg dealers, so the disruptor would be more of a support role (which seems kinda weird to me) edit: but yeah the tankiness of these low tier units isn't a good thing for the game overal, i agree | ||

Chronoboost is used on probes and units, shouldnt there be a reduction in build time for ALL probes and units. Upgrades too. but it wasnt used on everything all the time, so that wouldnt really work | ||

Seriously LotV has been about engagements all over constantly before this patch, the only difference now is it's at a slower pace, especially when workers are destroyed. Feels like we're playing WoL all over again almost. | ||
