Armory The Armory now only has one weapon and one armor upgrade for both air and ground upgrades for both Factory and Starport units. Particularly this one. Also, not clear why medivacs needed 3 different buffs. | ||

The guy is exaggerating but i could very well imagine so many drastical changes to bring up a LOT of imbalances. But they still have some months of time and i'd rather have them change many things instead of just little fixes. I don't want HotS to be nearly like WoL. | ||

I hope you're right, I really hope so. In my opinion, these are the worst changes ever made. Especially the Medivac change (as if they weren't strong enough already...), the Terran armory update, phoenix and the dark shrine. Also, have you noticed that Seeker Missile is basically the same as the Yamato cannon? Pretty bad design, sorry Blizzard... | ||

That is like saying professional gamers have really good ideas on how to balance the game, which normally involves nerfing their worst match up. Or saying that I have more common sense because I am older. | ||

Also terran mech is rly rly strong in hots vs P. Just tempest totally owns it but this will not be the case anymore with the new patch. And mech will now be even stronger espc when thor rly has no more energy I think most zerg changes are ok. But muta speed... this is not rly necessary makes them just more annyoning but not better in fighting. Im myself protoss, i think dt shrine is now too cheap but makes me anyway happy :-) dt pwnage but in caste of balance its prob also shit . Tempest beeing tier 3 together with carrier and no more + dmg vs massive ground will make it never been played again so tempest is no more new unit. Blizzard said themselv since toss has now tempest they dont need vortex anymore vs Broodlords. But tempest will not be build against broodlords i guess but time will tell (carriers are better in this case and they also dont rly work). (tempest dps is 9 vs massive 18) carrier has 25 dps against everything carrier range is 8 first later 14 so its not a big difference between those 2 but im not sure. In every caste the medivac speed and heal is shit this is 4 sure. | ||

That kills: Every zerg unit in one hit - except for Ultras Every Terran unit except for Thors/BCs Every Toss unit except for Collosi, Archons, Carrier and Tempests Albeit there's no splash damage but that seems rather ridiculous. I don't understand this change unless Blizzard wants to create a lategame situation for TvX that we have now with ZvX where you counter t3 with spellcasters. Removing the upgrade was good enough - this just seems like overkill. | ||

Personally I'm a bit reluctant because there are too many buffs, while the game's units need an overall nerf in order to create more dynamic environment imho. Good luck with testing. I disagree considerably. One of the problems with WoL is that everything was nerfed far too much in the beta and it made certain things like the reaper and tank completely awful. | ||

Most of the changes are not about balancing the game, but shacking up the meta game to promote the use of different play styles. If they are OP, they can be toned down. But the patch makes good changes to may of the neglected units and structures in the game. | ||

), so it might be easy to counter. Time will tell. The zerg counter would be the obvious infestor-corruptor combo; hydralisk-viper will likely get owned.
