Health restored per second from 9 to 15.Energy cost reduced from 3 health per 1 energy to 5 health per 1 energy. Cost increased from 100/100 and 80 seconds to 150/150 and 110 seconds. whoaaa, I understand it's more expensive, but I don't see early lings having any chance against drops that put marines in corners/tight spaces. Have to get roach/banes. | ||

Have to get roach/banes. It's not exactly a cheap upgrade. Does hardly anything vs banes. Worth a try. | ||

Now back to me. Your Seeker Missile is now Yamato. And does not splash, so it just got much weaker... As an interesting idea, why not allow PDD to intercept fungal and EMP projectiles? More importantly, where is my tank buff? | ||

It's not the changes, it's the lack of a visible coherent philosophy. Please somebody tell me what Blizzard is trying to do with this? Other than a 'goal' like promoting say, harass-based play. Tell me how Blizzard are actually approaching the specifics with a clear overall philosophy of making the game better, come on, if I'm wrong tell me why I'm wrong. There are good changes, and bad. At least the Protoss changes you can look at, address and they all make sense, kind of. That doesn't apply to Terran or Zerg changes, at all. I can do this, if necessary on a case-by-case look at each change, and try to explain this concept of an overarching philosophy not applying, at all. It's not consistent in terms of RTS fundamentals, AT ALL. | ||

It might be radical changes, but what it sounds like to me is Blizzard has there head on straight now with this balance approach, it sounds like they got Flash, Bisu, and Jaedong to sit in a room and balance HOTS untill they see fit, and now we have this wonderful good given thing that is going to be a great successor to BW. I hope. | ||

Balance problems can be fixed via tuning the numbers. I however agree that lots of whine will be incoming soon | ||

Most Terrans are happy because they will be having an easier time against Zerg, judging from their comments. It's like the opposite of the Queen patch, although it is a lot larger in scope and may lead to other cool things | ||
