in PvT playing against a terran who can actually mech in previous versions (not building thors, bar maybe one) is scary... now... sounds impossible...

Yeah that's just how Ultras should be, big strong and mean - just pure power, no abilities needed.

Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

so.....why are they increasing the size of the Thor? Wasn't its clumsiness already an issue?



It's increasing the radius meaning they don't clump as much - good change!

Those Medivacs sound scary lol. Tanks may need a buff or nobody will need them in any matchup. Bio all day long.

I like it anyway. Also makes the drops more high risk/high reward.

Most of these sound awesome, but let's not get too hype

Mommaship should be made a serious unit for pro play or be removed tho. This e-sport is serious business :B

Medivac:
Cost increased from 100/100 and 80 seconds to 150/150 and 110 seconds.

Actually it's not even a nerf, it's a huge phase out of bio usability. They combined air/mech upgrades yes, but T mech has not got any buffs vs P. (WM doesn't hit cloaked - nerf)
So basically i think it's very disputable... but it's still beta ...

Exactly!

Also gonna be very interesting to see stargate openings now. Could we possibly see pure SkyToss as a viable non cheesy opening?

"Thor radius, inner radius, and separation radius increased from 0.8215 to 1."

Is this referring to the scale of the unit?

Can't comment on everything but these patches to me indicate that the design team is losing focus. They are introducing more exceptions and more complexity.

Exceptions like having certain units not benefit from upgrades, IT but not broodlings or locusts. Complexity such as the new seeker missile design. This is eschewing simplicity and effective design while chasing balance.

Since mech now transitions smoothly into air terran (shared upgrades) i think mech is fine..... ^^

WM hitting cloaked units was kind of retarded to begin with.... Hellbats got a buff with more splash they can wipe out chargelots even easier. All mech upgrades in one is fucking huge, being able to add in fully upgraded banshees and BC's late game could be crazy strong. Thor buff to take out tempests easier is good too.

But that Medivac new upgrade is just... I'm really, really scared O.o drops are going to be a bitch! But could be great for watching, would encourage more multi prong drops seeing as you need less medivacs to heal main army and the drops themselves being much stronger with the new healing etc.

I've always thought the biggest problem with the air tech switch was being behind in upgrades compared to corruptors. Hopefully this actually solves it.

Wow this patch is huge, I am happy, still no bots for clan channels? lol :-P

I can't complain though this is the biggest patch I think Blizzard has ever introduced ever, since SC2's creation.

The thing that really amazes me is the being able to issue orders to an AI partner, that is really cool.

Thanks!
