You could get 1 HotS Medivac that almost works as 2 WoL Medivacs while switching your tech. into Ravens. I like this kind of thinking, so we should see if it works out. Another major thing is with binding cloud or fungal Ultras are going to completely obliterate bio now :p | ||

I think terran air and ground mech should have differende attack upgrades, tho they could have one common armor upgrade. I hope if they do find it to be too good, they at least try to fall back to that | ||

I guess it will never happen now. Do you really think BCs need buff now that you can have them with 3/3 upgrade by like 20min ? | ||

You basically need 1:1 Broodlord-Raven for this to be effective. I mean the new Thor will be ALOT better against Broods with the change but the new HSM i'm not so sure it's any better or even just as good as before. | ||

Speed boost that increases movement speed and acceleration to 4.25 for 8 seconds. 20 second cooldown. The Medivac’s Caduceus Reactor upgrade at the Starport Tech Lab: Health restored per second from 9 to 15. Energy cost reduced from 3 health per 1 energy to 5 health per 1 energy. I couldnt even read further, holy fuck i have no words. 89% speed increase for 8 seconds at a time? Previously, 2 lings attacking a marine at equal upgrades would do 5.4dps. Now the marine will tank both of them while healing. If you crash into his army of marines with some medivacs over you need 3 or more lings of surface area per marine TO DO ANY DAMAGE AT ALL. Im not complaining in light of zvt imbalance previously, but DAMN, this is probably the biggest buff in the history of sc2, this will be incredibly underestimated, its almost completely game breaking in every matchup | ||

DT rush. It was already good enough, now it will be so easy to transition into an Arhcon/Charge push. Medivacs. End-game XvT is hard enough already due to the fact that if you don't kill the Medivacs, just a few bio units can just sit under medivacs and never die without huge amounts of damage, but the extra healing is just going to be OFF THE WALLS now. | ||

In BW 1 medic could outheal a lurker hitting a marine for a long time. | ||

Isn't that Thor's original anti-air attack is 24 (+24 light) damage? Now it's 24 flat damage, so it's a nerf to the anti-air???? | ||
