I tend to agree. Apparently Blizzard wants to promote mech play and then adds things like Blinding Cloud and Tempest to the game. Anyway, I think that Blinding Cloud will make bio play the staple of TvZ in HotS.

It was done to make early game mech possible vs protoss, but yeah that buff is weird and hurts more zergs than protoss.

This... Terran is simply too safe after carelessly losing reapers/hellions with their free siege more and widow mines. I love it that terran can put some pressure on early game again, but zerg should be able to counter pressure

I am totally lost against Terran. Impossible to attack with tanks and mines. Impossible to leave your base with Medivacs.

I thought the reason behind it was to make mech/tech builds better in TvP o-o Nobody will ever go mech TvP with the new medivacs
Not true at all. People will go mech when they get chance to practice it.
Also mech can drop too.
EDIT: Also zergs complaining about drops should just build some damn static defense :p

Even if they hadn't died, it wouldn't have made a difference. Are you insane? Blinding Cloud wrecks bio. Watch the games yesterday. LOL... All bio needs to do is move out of the cloud. If Stephano follows, his army goes into his own cloud. not only that... the units will move out of the cloud without you doing anything at all... can someone confirm that its still the case? Yes, they automatically move out and keep firing. They a move in closer to the roach hydra army -.- it's not like they micro themselves backwards out of it... Bio a moving in close to roach hydra will get stomped. Plus the two-seconds of all those units not firing and giving dps is also good. Plus you can use blinding cloud to zone out areas in the battle and force a bad concave for your opponent..
Saying Vipers are useless against bio is just a bad statement. Vipers can be effective against pretty much any composition if used right.

Here we go again, Mvp nerfing terran all by himself.

Very pleasant to see MVP doing well.
Happy for LG-IM, proving to LG that continuing the sponsorship was a good idea.

Stephano cant improvise successfully against that  Well, Mvp also developed a lot of the WoL metagame along with a couple other top korea terrans. He was one of the first to show how to macro and expand safely vs 2 base play that was very common in early 2011. Early bunker play vs zerg. He also showed the power of mass ghosts both in vP (EMP) and vZ (snipes). Was the top meching player in TvT, showed more BC play than any other terran, going hellion/banshee after the Queen buff. I could go on and on. At the start he was one of the best marine tank players, but as time passed, he started meching more and more.
He can switch depending on map. Some maps like daybreak was just plain better for mech.

I have no idea, just something I heard but others are saying it's to hold off gate-assaults from P so I must be wrong. I'm not arguing it's a good change either or anything, I'm neutral.
