Brining back the Carrier is a joke. Its in the fucking game since Release and in 99,8% of all Games we don't see Carriers... Blizz should stop caring about the Whiners.

LOADS of little changes in the background, BC nerf, Raven nerf, Swarmhost upgrade nerf, what else did I miss?


Wait what, what nerfs did they get?

Damage reverted back to 8 for BC, SeeKeR Missile reverted back to 125 energy, Swarhmost damage upgrade only increases by 1 now.


I really hope they do something with the BC, even a small speedboost would help and you could use it against carriers. Then again, with Yamato at 100 energy I think that solves my issues.

I have a gut feeling that maybe the patch notes are wrong. The exact wording of the BC nerf is:

A bug was fixed that caused battlecruiser anti-ground damage to be more than 8.


But wasn't the BC damage purposely changed to 10 as a design decision? And now the patch notes claim that it's a "bug," which is quite a contradiction.

how can everyone be so fuckin happy about removing the warhound?

as your casual diamond/master terran i was very much looking forward to finally having a 1a unit that doenst instantly die to aoe. it makes me angry, that people seem to be happy about blizz makes this addon a joke from a terrans point of view, with barely anything to look forward to.

Very good. Didn't know they had it in them to put the balance/fun of the game over the pride of their own creations.

I think Terran mech still need a bit more AA other than Thors (and I guess widow mines)

I'll be honest, I'm really worried about Mech in TvP now. As it stands... Carrier is the counter to Terran mech, except for when the Terran gets 3/3 updgrades and sufficient Thors to melt the interceptors/tank damage, or enough BC's to yamato the Carriers. Both Thors and BCs are Massive. I'm just worried that a Carrier + few tempest superlate game will literally be untouchable (not just unkillable, but untouchable).

Is there really a reason to remove it though? If It's so bad and barely used surely you don't need to get rid of it for balance reasons. Keeping both capital ships seems like a fine choice.

More clarification from Blizzard:
Show nested quote +
In the patch notes, you mentioned that Hardened shields are no longer affected by Haywire missiles, but with the Warhound now removed, how is this working? Is there a plan to give haywire missiles to battle-hellions, or some other unit?

Right now, Haywire Missiles aren't planned to be moved to any other units.

Show nested quote +
NICE! Are you planning to tweak the stats at all for it (Carrier), or just leave it as it was in WoL?

The plan as I understand it, is to let the Carrier resume its place in the protoss arsenal, and we'll see where things go from there. The focus is primarily on the new additions for Heart of the Swarm.

Show nested quote +
Is this a researched ability or an innate one? Either way, it gives reapers even more longevity by allowing them to "look before they leap".

I like it.

It's innate.

I'm worried about the new Oracle ability...

Now wont oracles just become one those units you get EVERY game because it makes you safe against EVERYTHING?

Don't get me wrong, Protoss needs so sort of response to the various status effects in the game that get thrown against them, but I don't think a mass-dispel cure-all (and prevent-all!) is in the best interests of unit diversity.

Obviously it is all speculation until it has been thoroughly tested, but at first glance I'm already seeing red flags. Would rather see Feedback moved to the Oracle or some other way of negating opponent energy than a spam click cure-all. :\
Behavior is a function of its consequences.

I like what they did with protoss but I agree that now void rays place in the game feels pretty limited.

Meanwhile waiting for the Warhound redesign...

People forget that the Oracle ability lasts 5 seconds, I foresee more engage baiting by zergs and therefore some cool micro.

Lol, any A move unit should be removed from the game. Unfortunately for Terrans the Warhound was by far the most broken A move unit yet so it got scraped. Also Terran has nothing to look forward too? Prior to this patch did you see what Protoss was getting? Also you do know it's a beta right? A beta that just started? If you think this is exactly what is going to come out on release day... well then I'm actually surprised you managed to even turn your computer on....

OMG I really love blizzard for this patch. Warhound is gone, carrier is back. This sounds biased as hell but I honestly feel Terran deserves better than warhound. I hope Blizzard is considering compensating warhound removal with something not so staple and much more witty.

Their changes seems to be spot-on with the majority of the opinions found in TL's threads. Like all these people calling out the useless-ness of the oracle and giving whacky or clever spell suggestions. ANd that's what Blizzard did, they gave oracle someone that isn't useless and a waste of gas and also improves Protoss but not to an overwhelming amount. They even took the effort of singling out Fungal and EMP so oracle's new spell doesn't negate it -completely- as those 2 are trump-cards in fighting against Protoss.

Carrier is back, Tempest has a lower range. While tempest isn't that overwhelmingly strong to begin with, its range was too provocative for defensive macro players.

I think the biggest "??" was the Reaper buff. I have no comments. It's just interesting that Blizzard thought of giving it such an ability.
