Zerg

Spine Crawler
This unit now completely blocks pathing when placed next to other structures, including other Spine Crawlers.
Zerglings and other small units can no longer squeeze in between Spine Crawlers.
The scale of this unit has been increased from 0.85 to 0.95.


My favourite patch so far. No more zergling runbys

Hmm... I can't help but think this is my doing...

I really think it's a doing of Browder being desperate to make zerg immune to hellions runby. :p

Porygon, it defiinitely is, considering the timing. Just goes to show Blizzard is paying VERY close attention to team liquid given the slew of recent patch statements.

I'm liking that they've slowly made the HotS more and more mad, Mines, Vipers and Oracles are all tending towards the nuts side of balance, which is always fun to see.

Time Warp only slows enemy units, right?

It is extremely obvious that when you take away a units harassment ability, and give it something that is stronger against large groups (ie AoE CC/Zoning abilities) then it will contribute to the deathball syndrome.


I really think that abilities like this will contribute to splitting up deathballs. It may not be the Protoss deathball, but i really don't see a Terran bio-ball being able to do shit against Protoss now. An Oracle and a few HTs will be stop Terrans from being able to run through any choke point.

I am really looking forward to see how the time warp is going to work out. Hopefully Blizzard is going to add something equally powerful to Zerg and Terran instead of just nerfing this to the ground.

As a zerg player I love these changes especially the Ultralisk speed increase.

However, I feel really sorry for Terran players. I don't know how they are going to deal with Protoss now that the threat of a 9 range Time Warp+Storms can absolutely decimate their army. It really gives Terran no room for error when engaging late game with Protoss. Hopefully they'll buff existing WoL units to compensate.

I feel like TvP in HotS at the high level will have a lot of base trading games simply because bio will have no way to engage the Protoss army once they get 2 Oracles, chargelot/Archon/Templar.

What's the difference in minerals between if your worker line is hit by one Time Warp vs no harassment on a fully saturated base? Is it worth it?

White-Ra time-warped a big terran bio-ball...and it hardly had any effect...

I suspect the time warp will be like the Viper's blinding cloud...an ability everybody gets excited about but in practice turns out to be near worthless because of it's small area and the ease in which you can micro out of it. Stim marines / 2 are still pretty fast And that's the problem. This ability is really designed to shutdown fast units, yet they will be the ones best able to escape this.

Well, he only had poorly upgraded gatewya unit to get in the thick of thing.
And a lot of zealots which seems affected too.

Not having AoE like storm or colossi against terran Bio at 17min will always mean death, Time warp or not.
Still pretty curious to see it's effect on a long macro game where protoss can reach maxed tech.

Creative use of double time-warps by White-ra on the choke to slow down reinforcements to the expo White-ra wanted to attack...still didn't see that effective though. Forcefields would have been much better.

Is terran still in the game?
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.
