EPTProtoss did not need a buff and this change just imbalances the game. The mechanics we have now are fine and we just need to stick with them. Any issues this change is aimed at fixing are small issues and can be overcome by players.

This doesn’t mean however that we will never go back to exploring this topic again. We’re currently discussing plans about when and how to explore big changes (such as this one) after Legacy of the Void ships" You realize that's basically saying 'We are releasing LotV with unfinished multiplayer, we will finish it after launch' Yeah, just like D3 is releasing with unfinished PvP Arena system w/ matchmaking, they will finish that after launch... | ||

The current scenario is a significant nerf to high level users who have the APM and awareness to bank it ON PURPOSE. Having it going all the time is not necessarily helpful. In certain scenarios when I want to rush out a Disruptor or a Colossus, I want to actively save chrono so I can spend it all on my robo. In that case, the current system is an over 50% nerf to HotS while Larva is buffed and MULES are unchanged. For newbies (bronce/silver) it is clearly a buff, because they probably were not using CB at all. For the rest it is a nerf, that also removes strategic depth. My opinion is: - %50-%50 CB ... not sure - Maintain MULE as in LoTV. Mass-mule at late game is cool, I do not see it as a issue. It is just a race characteristic that gives an advantage in that state of the game, similar to being able to fly buildings and have an advantage in base-races. - Maintain inject as in LoTV. OK to tune all of them down, its is the best balance between machanical demand and strategic depth vs game is too fast in LoTV. | ||

Extra supply is 100 minerals. Same cost at mana, close to same profit. Orbital build in 35 seconds and cost 150 mineras - time of 2x scv production (17x2=34 sec) and 100 mineral cost. ~90-95 mineral income from 2 scvs. >>> So now, no need orbital before u get an expo and 16+ mineral workers? So... for terrans it's like in patch w/o mules. Yeah, but mass orbitals still ingame. LOL. One another briliant design decision made by blizz'. Mb just remove them? All macro boosters? And tweak the game accordingly? (sorry, info from neighbor topic http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/legacy-of-the-void/495804-wishful-fake-patch) anyway i'm confused with what they are doing | ||

and zerg is excuse my french.. "Lacking with anti air" as well and imo i would rather have that than decide if i need to pull or paracidic bomb with the viper, and that zerg can fall back on being chased by air units.. Have them shoot up two locus (with a cooldown of 5-10 seconds) at near by air units... people wont overcommit them because they would only shoot air, which makes them vulnerable to ground that would need protection. | ||

I don't think they've ever created a unit so ugly and underwhelming in the way it attacks (air to air, air to ground is actually ok). It pisses me off, a lot. Biggest problem I have with it is how it is so hugely bulky and blocks vision. That is a major problem when playing against tiny marines under them... how many marines there are matters quite a bit. | ||

I'd get behind making the swarmhost an anti air unit. It resolves the redundancy around the lurker like you mentioned, and making them vulnerable to ground means they must be supported by other units (and prevents them from being massed). It provides some options from ground to air that isn't a hydra/queen/ravager, help against all kinds of air attacks and also assist against medivacs and warp prisms on lair tech. It might make for an interesting dynamic between liberators as they have to decide between killing the locusts vs killing the swarmhost/other ground targets. If having "unimited" units is an issue, just make the locust duration more like broodlord broodlings so it feels more like an attack with targetable bullets or something similar (I'm sure they can work it out). If it's more like an attack, remove the manual spawning part of it, now you have one less active ability to worry about too. In any case, if this was how the swarmhost worked I'd rather have it than the ravager. My dream unit would be if it shot scourge into the sky lol, but for balance reasons I'd just tone the damage way down. Would still be a cool unit. | ||

MOBAS get balanced so frequently and whilst I know they are different games, a constantly evolving meta due to quick tweaks and changes becomes a skill the player ultimately has to keep up with, until the game is as good as it can be. Right? In 2011 there were major patches every few months but people complained and said the game was unstable and that BW never got balance patched after 2001. | ||

Many issues didn't "just get figured out" and would have stuck around and when blizzard finally gave into their "let's wait and see" attitude we were stuck on broodlord infestor for way longer than we had to. Even blizzard appologized for that. | ||
