Removing the means of detection gives Protoss players less incentive to go Stargate, and now we're back to observers for our only means of mobile detection. Moving out in the early game vs T is not going to be possible until we have the Robo up, so we are pretty much back to where we were. Seems they are having to change so much just to balance the widow mine. Spores don't require Evo, this has just made cloaked banshee and DT play so much weaker, all because of the widow mine. Given the widow mines current form, I don't think it would be wrong to bring back the Armory requirement, they have pretty much replaced the Helion for the early damage unit. Bad patch, very disappointed. Why no go for SG in PvT?Entomb force T to stay at home and kill the Fields and maybe put some turrets.Free Hallucination allow you to scout without observer and no supply cost.The only thing to detect in T army is the banshee,but with 13 range cast on Nexus you got your base safe.And when you go for a early pressure you can Hallu lot of units forcing T to make bunkers,turrets and spend Scans to detect your real units. Mines arent so quick as hellions and do not do so much damage to workers.Just go and check Day9 8/10 and will see. | ||

Removing detection on the oracle seems really strange as well, the detection was one of the reasons the thing made it viable to go starport in HotS...? Also, Hellbat ROFL | ||

There was a debate in order to make FFs easier to use, but seriously, why are you whining on that on HotS and not on WoL? why complaining on that right now whereas there is much more important to do? They deleted the Warhound, first mistake, sure it was op, but it just needed some nerf in DPS or speed and an increase in the cost. But no, IT'S OP KILL IT WITH FIRE! In order to compense, they buffed Widow Mines: second mistake, now they're buffing the others race in order to counter the op unit they just created...What the serious fuck. Okay the spore with no evo-chamber, make it easier for zergs to deal with mines, but it also almost destroys the banshee or Stargate opening. It looks like they forget all their objectives. Blizzard wanted to make Mech play valuable against protoss -->failed Blizzard wanted to make the late tvp easier for terran --> failed Blizzard wanted to make an air counter to mass mutas in zvp --> failed Blizzard wanted to make an harass unit for protoss --> failed And yes I'm speaking in the name of the terran because it looks like everyone is zerg or protoss around here... | ||

By the time these builds hit every competent Zerg will have an Evo ready, if only just for upgrades. | ||

TOTALLY and FULLY AGREE with you man! What are tehy doing? They may forgot which were their goals for HotS.So many changes just mess the balance reached in WoL.All those issues you adress still without solution.I want to play mech in PvT,but no way.TvP still a hell vs Chargelots/Archons.... | ||

Widow mine: Good nerf in the setup time. But this unit is going to break the cloaking-detecting balance of the game, that is currently good. Instead of redesigning that balance, I would rather make the widow mine temporary loose its cloaking when firing. Oracle: Please remove Purify detection and bring back Revelation detection. The buff to entomb is nice to encourage stargate play, but I still see an issue in not doing real economical damage long term. What if entomb would damage mineral patches, besides blocking mining? I mean the mineral patch will loose x minerals per second when entombed. Also the void sifon should not cost energy when casted, it should cost energy while damaging, something like the current ghost cloak ability. This way, the void sifon would encourage moving and microing the Oracle. Sentry: I am not sure how I feel about the hallucination change... it makes scouting so easy, but at a cost of 2 FF that could be essential in defending early rushes... good to test anyway. Tempest: I am finally lost about this unit's role. These changes make it more viable mid-game, but a rework of the void-ray (currently useless after so many nerfs) would just be enough. Viper: Great change. Zerg is soooooo beautiful in HOTS... | ||

Other than the zerg changes I like it. Still waiting on the time when they start changing current units though. | ||

But no, IT'S OP KILL IT WITH FIRE! You need to calm down and analyze stuff better. Warhound problem was beyond their OP status. I was a freaking 1a uber flat unit. Worst units design wise from SC2 WoL are Roaches and Marauders. The warhound was the new king of the hill. | ||
