Terran
1 very good, hope they get something nice
2 i feel it is fine as it is, already quite good in tvt / tvz
3 what? hellbats already stomp zerglings too hard.. Don't screw over TvZ because of your stupid idea's to change TvP into mech wars
4 medivac usage is already pretty big but i guess this is fine
5 good idea but vague
6 combing the upgrades seems alright but makes mech too strong really, i don't get why they think mech is weak in HotS.. it's already rediculous except in TvP

missing a change to battlecruiser..
missing a radical change to widow mine, stupid unit now

zerg
1. very good, better yet just combine range and speed upgrade.
2. seems fine
3. definately needs a buff, the new ability is just terrible too. Way too slow, often doesn't work well and spreads the units while ultra's depend on splash..
4. also ok with me, i'd like to see fungal back to longer duration again making it a nice tactical spell instead and only getting a few infestors instead of the spamfest it is now
5. ok i guess

protoss
1. voidray really needs a more drastic change then this to have some real use since it's so similar to the tempest. Something along the lines of a speed buff or build time buff i'd say
2 good idea, oracle is still crap now. Please give back detection to it.
3 good move, merge with templar archives please
4 very good, nerf the mothership so it's useless and just a newbie unit
5 haven't experienced this myself but must also admit haven't had many ZvP go beyond the lair swarm host stuff
6 fine as long as it doesn't always become the same combination (ie you always go void -> phoenix -> a few oracle). There should be differentation when to choose which unit

missing changes to the mothership core, i hate it's design now. Too strong of a deterrent against midgame terran/zerg pushes. "free" vision up the ramp is still breaking blink rushes as well which arguably makes it even harder to expand in PvP than before..


Overall many good motives but almost no good concrete idea's and he's missing out on some of the most important issues I think (Msc and widow mine). I have little confidence they fix many of these issues quickly, given how they've been doing so far..

6. Buff mech in general - we'd like to maybe test combining the vehicle and air upgrades at the armory.


O_O!

Hyped for the Hydralisk and Ultra changes...
Zerg might actually have a mid game thanks to the changes to Hydras and Swarm Hosts. Love the fact that I can use Ultras in ZvP without seeing them get shredded by Zealot/Archon.

I'm worried about ZvT bio. Vipers nor swarmhosts aren't good against bio. So if they want to nerf infestor, buff medivacs and biological hellbats, that all will make bio way way stronger in midgame than it's now.

I think this is the first time I completely agree with one of these posts.

I don't want to get my hopes too high though... we've been disappointed more than once so far.
Starcraft 2 is funny, everybody picks the race, which he considers to be the weakest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really love the Terran ideas.
I would really like a buff to Ghosts for late Game.
Also the Medivac-Boost would be nice so Terran is maybe not that coinflippy with Drops.
Generally I really love those ideas and that they are going to make some drastic changes

Sounds good. Hopefully implementation takes the game in to right direction.

Zerg/3 ("Ultralisk changed to be good vs. all ground") - Including against Thors and Marauders? What will the Terran counter be then?

Terran/4. TvT, a fast medivac will still die to widow mines in one shot, along with the marines in it.

I really like the mech/air upgrades being combined as long as they do not increase the cost/time.

Zergling's death in the matchup. .


Yeah, this is the second time I've read this, and it makes sense, AND it bums me out. Zerglings should still have counterattack and tertiary squad capability, which doesn't seem to happen with widow mines. They just kill way too many of them with one widow mine.

I suppose vs. a stricly bio army they can still be good, or perhaps in small numbers.

This is the first statement from blizzard that makes me think that they know what they are doing. Hope every single one of these changes goes through.

Sorry, but you are the kind of person that drags the community down. This is the first time EVER Blizzard is really trying to change something really HUGE. What we're looking at here is a potential flip of the entire meta-game. This shit is exiting as fuck and all you have to say is some fucking preemptive balance whine.

Nothing to address carrier. really? Terran changes sound promising, especially the combined upgrades is huge imo - allows for a lot more late game tech switching, which is direly needed for T.

I want to believe... but something tells me these changes will largely be gimmicky with specific defense or attribute tags being the triggers for "balance" that make us all groan and facepalm.

Hydra move on Lair - My same thoughts a few weeks ago.

Muta speed buff - Hell naw

Nerf Infestor heavily - Or remove it altogether

I wonder when the Carrier changes (the ones nony talked about) are going to be implemented. Looking forward for next patch!
