You can go and buy HoTS coming soon to stores near you. It's almost like they're deliberately leaving WoL in a pretty poor state.


I know a lot of guys around here who won't buy HotS because of this stupid policy...what stops Blizzard from doing the exact same thing with HotS and LotV?

Huh? Was vortex "fixed" or something?


Well it can still work, but zergs have been playing smarter.

Believe it or not, Zergs used to clump up all their broodlords even when they knew a mothership was coming, and even when they knew that the mothership was the only way the protoss would win. It was so ridiculous. The protoss could be a bit behind, and the zerg would refuse to spread their broodlords anyway, even though it was a basic micro requirement.

Well long story short, nothing has changed balance wise with vortex, but instead of zergs playing like idiots, they learned to adapt, and now vortex is weak.

It is like when banelings were used against marines initially. People were saying they were OP, but then terrans started to spread their marines and win battles against them, rather than just sitting there and taking the banelings to the face. Balance can change because of the metagame.



FALSE.

"Protoss

Units leaving the Mothership's Vortex are now un-targetable and immune to damage for 1.5 seconds.

This was another case that we viewed as more of a bug fix than a balance change. The original concept of Vortex was that it was more than just a stasis or a lockdown. In addition to having the protoss player lock down a part of his or her opponent’s army, the spell was supposed to also be about creating situations for enemy interaction with the Vortex.



For example: If I'm playing zerg and half of my army was Vortexed, I may decide to put the remaining half into the Vortex. Conversely, I could choose to simply sacrifice half of my units instead and run with the rest if greatly outnumbered by the protoss opponent. However, there was a bug in which splash units instantly killed everything coming out of a Vortex, preventing the different types of interactions we originally intended."

Might actually be a really good final. ZvZ can sometimes be quite epic and these 2 are team mates so they probalby know each other's style inside out.

in a few years when people will have learn to split their units preemptively like the zergs do with broodlords, maybe we won't have people bitching about fungals anymore


. Fungal radius is bigger than Storm/EMP ( WHY EXACTLY ? ) and Zerg's ususally have tons of Infestors not just 2 like Vortexes . Even hitting 3-4 Units with a Fungal is worth it in most vases.

Nah, they will just cry about it. Like how zergs cried about the early game so queens got buffed.
