As for zealots instead of buffing them, I think they can be fixed by nerfing their worst enemy: the widow mine. That +shields damage is just gratuitous. Widow mines are a low effort "wonder" unit that counters almost everything in the TvP matchup. Seriously, they even counter carriers (???). The only safe and easy way to remove them is with colossus, another unit I wish never existed. Honestly they're like half the reason I don't play Starcraft anymore. | ||

I was tunneling on inject. Now Blizzard is making chrono and mule autocast as well? Please do not make macro mechanics autocast! Oh my that's painful. | ||

They should have tested with zerg hatcheries spawning more larva with injects removed. It just seems such a cop out. Macro boosters were bad by themselves but auto cast macro boosters are even worse even if their efficiency is reduced. The change to remove them was inspired but this is not... | ||

This entire update has me feeling like a sad panda, and I've been one of the most optimistic ones this whole beta. Losing hope for sc to be back to its glory days every week. Also can't believe they haven't dropped the idea of photon overcharge on pylons,overlord drop to lair and13 range corrosive bile | ||

I like the macro changes, but keep the damn skill involved, now that they are nerfed it should be all about the better player mechanically get's the slight edge over time. The creep change is cool though and I'm glad they are bringing a nerfed Mule back. By the way autocast on inject is just horrible, when I need the Queens to do something they will sometimes wander off to make an inject pit stop, yea I know you can disable it but if you can disable it, why even bother keeping it at all? Starcraft is all about the best players with the best mechanics wrestling with the multitasking and macro requirements. I don't know, I just don't really get it I guess. Also no Infestor update is a joke. | ||

I dislike the loss of energy tension by putting Mules on a cooldown system. As much as prefer autocast on Queens, Mules are a pretty easy macro mechanic to use, and the limitation on casting range doesn't really make it any easier. If anything, it makes it marginally harder to manage them. I would've much rather seen the economy ramp up slowed down by having Calldown Mule also cost some resources. Maybe 50 minerals and 25 gas, so that it still provides a net gain of 220-250 minerals, just at a cost of 25 gas. And obviously this would be a terrible decision to use en masse in the very late game on one base, when the map is starting to run out of resources. | ||

To me, the two best options were always nerfing the macro mechanics but keeping them in, or removing them completely and balancing around that. This autocast shit is terrible and for the first time in beta I really don't feel inspired to play anymore. Really bad update. | ||

You have to get better at using macro-mechanics, among many other different skills, to improve at the game? Why exactly is that a barrier? And why is it a bad thing? MULE and Chrono don't exactly take up much of a player's time, compared to inject. And I WANT inject to be manual. Good players pull further and further ahead with strong injects. Mediocre players can get by with decent injects and strong focus in other skills. It balances itself out. But for the people who want inject to not be manual, why not oblige them rather than homogenizing an entire facet of Zerg play so that there is no skill differential at all? | ||

Another question: how do we know if a lifted orbital command in cooldown? | ||

Because no one has fun dropping MULE, CB'ing a forge or injecting larvae. It is an artificial and unnecessary chore. | ||
