Though it's probably the only reason Mech kinda works in TvP on Beta . Widows Mines + Vikings covering your tanks is pretty strong against Air ( and also ground ) . As long as Hellbats are Bio and Thors are useless in TvP they need to keep mines the way they are . ( probably remove the detection though unless something moves directly over it maybe ) | ||

To be rational about it: Change Mine supply to 1 Build time cut by 1/4 Mine is destroyed when activated Mine no longer targets air units ??? Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. It's just WAY too strong right now. I seriously have no idea how it has survived 3 patches now. Mine's are easy to deal with as the game goes on. They can be scary early game if you screw up, but that's part of their power. They buy Terran time to get their infrastructure up and running so they can compete in the later parts of the game. | ||

What? lol They get more broken as the game goes on because they trade so cost effectively for gas heavy units. I'm not sure what game you're playing. Lol. | ||

Are you playing without detection or something? Mines are not very hard to deal with, you just have to be more careful and not just a-move at a Terran. Which is kind of the whole point of mines in general... | ||

Its not fun to play against, also from a spectator point of view its boring (which is the bigger concern I have). | ||

Revert Ghost snipe to 35 damge +10 vs light. At the moment the spell is a joke because you can't even kill a Zergling. Remove Hunter Shit Missiles and give Ravens Irradiate. Remove Thor energy bars and give it a Haywire Missile upgrade. Only then does the energy bar appear. Make Battle Cruisers faster and have burst damage instead of piss shots. | ||

Pulsar Beam, Time Warp. What the crap is this. I swear the version of Heart of the Swarm they introduced like 8 month ago seemed more sensible and thought-out than this clusterfuck. | ||

I'm not being sarcastic, I really like it, instead of entomb you can fly in kill an extractor. each extractor killed is a harass of: 75 minerals and more than 120 gas (depends on how long it takes for the opponent to build another and put harvesters into it, so it's 120 gas minimum). since it kills so fast, you can actually queue a command to kill extractors and retreat like entomb. | ||

The one patch you chose to complain about is the only one that has TL approval of all its changes lol. | ||

Okay, I like too. If they do nerf it because it's too good, then they should increase the energy cost rather than decreasing damage to keep it exciting. | ||
