Protoss looks so good now. Dat Grubby suggestion.

Now if the devs can get the shitfest of mech nailed down, we have ourselves a super good looking expansion.

Didn't take them long to nerf terran multiple times. Continuing the trend.
Although the warhound was broken in this state. Hope T gets something good :/.

Wow, very great patch notes. Carrier back is so good! Warhound was a boring unit so it's good that they will think of something else. And it's awesome that the immortal gets it's confidenceboost by knowing that even when the warhound is gone, it's shield will still block it .

Nah man, they get only the nerfs, that Reaper buff in the end will be the nerf, trust me...

There will always be somebody that will complain, no matter what happens.

They should just buff the seige tank to be honest, give it researchable more range or just slightly stronger damage.

I thought it was single target. AOE would be ok if it was smaller than most of the damaging AOEs.

Wait they made a change fort he Immortal pertaining to Warhounds and then removed the Warhound? Are they just testing to see how Terran does without the Warhound and plan to bring it back? Or maybe a new unit with the same kind of role?

Or you should try to use them with a viable, mineral based, meat shield that does bonus damage to both zerglings and zealots. As a bonus, these mineral based units can also transform into fast moving, harassing units. The power is yours.

Glad to see the Carrier's face again, but I don't think these changes are a step in the right direction. Few points:

(1) This Phase Shield ability looks like it will only be used against Zerg. That's bad game design. Why don't they add an armour buff so it's also useful against Terran and Protoss?

Alternatively, don't they just nerf Fungal Growth? Everybody admits that it's overpowered. The way it brings micro to a stop by freezing units in their tracks is tedious as shit.

(2) So to stop Entomb, you just add an extra Spinecrawler to the mineral line. Big deal. Predictable micro and utterly boring ability, in any case.

(3) Compare the Tempest vs massive to the Yamato Cannon of the Battlecruiser. Toss gets the short end of the stick. Not only is the Battlecruiser much better at killing massive units -- also it's a game-ending, flying fortress. I understand that the Tempest has longer range, but it still needs a buff to bring it even with the Battlecruiser.

Or better yet, why not give the Carrier a version of the Yamato Cannon?

(4) Zerg is now way, way, waaay better than the other two races. They get the best new units, as well as improved Hydras and Ultras. That's not to mention the maps, which suit their tactics of flanking. Where's the buffs to Toss WoL units, and where's the new units for Terran?

I'm pleasantly surprised about the Warhound removal, although I'd really like them to put something in to make mech viable.

I still don't like their thinking around the Carrier and the Tempest. They should simply make the carrier a good option and stop finding uses for the tempest that don't really exist.

Interesting changes! Protoss got overhauled and now they have the largest air fleet. Phoenix, Void Ray, Carrier, Tempest, Mothership. That's 4 of 5 that hit air and ground.
Zerg won't have such a difficult time because the Corruptors are flying castles. Terran got shafted hard. Vikings are paper planes and Banshees only have a specific timing in any given game. Usually the opening as a harass. And then you won't see them again.

Now, lets fix the Widow Mine and make it 1 supply. There fixed. Now people will start using it.
Oh, and Reapers are still a joke. Takes 3 to kill a worker. That's a lot of investment to kill 1 supply 50 minerals.

Terran does not have static defense. It takes supply to have a defense. Zerg Spines and Protoss Cannons take a 1 time investment and don't require having units in the back guarding where they should be up in the front lines. Zergs always have Queens.

Great patch, really happy to see Blizz listening. Now we just need a Tank buff and a few Widow Mine tweaks to make them a bit more usable (like nerf them a bit and make them 1 or 0.5 supply, something along those lines) and it will be perfect
