Scan duration should be lowered slightly. Maybe down to 10 or 8 seconds. It is currently 12.3 seconds.

The only thing I'm not a HUGE fan of is the Zealot change, Zealots should have been given Zealot legs to make them benefit from tactical micro especially against Lurkers, if Stim just ran Marines into an area then AOE units like Storm and Lurker would be super OP vs. them and they would be on a time clock for viability.

I don't even see the Cyclone enough in ZvT to warrant a comment on it, it's a unit that gets radically changed every patch and I've only seen it once maybe? So no comment there.

All of the other changes especially the Reav...Disruptor is AWESOME as is the changed up macro mechanics.

Cannot wait to start playing

Yeah they might name the disruptor reaver at this point, only thing that is missing is the retarded AI.
Also not a big fan about Adepts being the bulk of an army, i always felt that should be the Zealot and Adept be the harras part.
Absolutely hate that they actually went all the way with removing macro mechanics

Without a minimum distance for zealots to be able to charge, it might be a bit silly, both in terms of damage and effect. Every 7 seconds I may want to slightly pull back zealots and then a-move them to do a huge amount of burst damage? It's 30+guaranteed attack remember, not just 30. Not saying it's overpowered, just that it's weird.

They need to reduce energy generation on the Orbital command.
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

is the new Distruptor a Reaver 2.0 or a 0.2 .... i dont know what to think

2.0.

Advantages:
- Scarab is free
- Disruptor is faster
- Can be picked up from 6 range instead of having to be under the shuttle
- Manually controllable scarab
- No duds

Disadvantages:
- Takes much longer to reload
- Scarab needs to be controlled (can't focus all your micro on the warp prism + disruptor)

0.2 if that's the case.
If every scarab doesn't feel like a massive gamble, what's the point? :/
0.2/10 flavour fail.

More rage from the enemy?

Also fun fact: Assuming they don't get this in the balance patch, disruptors can't damage other disruptors. So the best counter to disruptor in PvP is mass disruptor!

Are we gonna see everyone build a few Disruptors, and go for mass carrier in PvP? Because that, I would totally watch.

kinda agree, it feels like they innovated a wheel, just give us our Reaver!

Yes seriously! Now with so many more scans available, DT play is basically worthless against T, ravens are needed less, zerg burrow etc. Should maybe even narrow the scan field as well.

Not a fan of the route they chose to take on the Zealot changes, but everything else looks like reasonable experimentation.

A Reaver that is fundamentally more powerful and lower-risk, and therefore not a Reaver.
I feel like this'll be extremely difficult to use properly so maybe it won't be too strong, but it still feels like it's just a Reaver++, and not a Disruptor at this point.

Obviously I'm only ONLY ONLY talking about flavour, since I'm not in the LotV.

What on Earth happened to Starcraft?

So many (better) solutions to the problems with this game have been given by the community for months and months (years even?)

Now we're playing a rush game with next to no RTB requirements and a pseudo-Reaver.

Absolutely love the Cyclone and Warpgate changes! Thank you. Now lets get to the Tank buffing :D

The Zealot and Medivac seem interesting and on the Disruptor i can't comment until i see it in play.

On the removal of Mules though, late late game Terran in HOTS is very reliant on the "true" max where you sacrifice SCVs and mine with Mules, so this could prove to be a massive nerf to late game Terran. This is something to watch for.

They're basically trolling us at this point.

I guess the Cyclone change is good?

Chargelots will now rape everything, especially mineral lines.


it's still a melee unit with a charge cooldown. You make it sound like as if it's a unit with blue flame ranged cone attack that only costs minerals and can be healed. They are trolling i see?
I'd say a lot of people are considerably excited for these changes and don't just blindly assume it'll be bad.
But it is of no surprise that there will always be people on the forums going all : lets pick another reason to try and shit over blizzard over random projected reasoning's. LOL times never change do they.
Can't contemplate the changes so i'll just try and devalue what i don't know about yet !
Great foresight and critical thinking. It only takes idiots to call something bad before it's ever tried.
People didn't think you could invent a train or an airplane for hundreds of years. People also never thought the ultralisk would ever be good beforehand. ( it was able to be decent beforehand in WOL/hots but far from good) Welcome to the chronology of balance adjustments favoring the game to become better. But by all means keep doing that edgy i hate blizz attitude.

I personally dislike some stuff blizzard does in terms of how they give us news/promote 1 game more than the other. (D3 seasons are also way too long and boring) But honestly other than that they generally only make better changes to the game. But must be trolling cuz i'm internet minded trolololol. Fix your bias before you pinpoint an entire company based on your personal gaming perspective.
