Seriously? pheonix got another range upgrade so they can be as fast as they want, you will have over double their range | ||

I don't think spells like that really have a place in the game anymore with smart casting. Basically just a hard counter to brood lords. Would it not be great to have more transitions/phases of the game? Imagine a bio or mech player adding Ravens to deal with BLs (I think it's much more of a soft counter). The energy takes a while to remake -- this makes the nature of your combined army to be slower, more deathballish/turtlish/defensive. This would then give incentive for zerg to react to that by going back to T1/2 units like bling ling muta. Suddenly your Ravens have no energy and can't help out anyways -- SM only works well against high HP single target units. You're right though, it doesn't feel very unique. Maybe it could be something like a missile that splits into 3 and hits the 2 closest units next to the target, does ~100 damage to all? Well anyway they are definitely going to be patching more after this, so I can't wait to see how much better it will get! | ||

Umm...Yeah seriously, considering they gave Pheonix + 1 range...Yeah, it makes complete sense, I bet pheonix will still Kite mutalisks easily with even more range than before, Imagine how much range a Pheonix with the range upgrade has now...Crazy to think about. Game hasn't even gone live so I don't think you should be so critical of a .25 change to speed lol | ||

The reaper is gonna have 6 speed years from now if it still sucks. It's why blizzard's approach to balance isn't right. It's all about increasing or decreasing numbers, nothing about stuff like attack animations, carrier attack stuff like tyler posted or anything elegant. It's all just heavy handed hoping something will stick. | ||

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. Medivacs are the least neglected units in the game, they did NOT need a buff. | ||

Other than that I am really happy with the changes. Combining air and vehicle upgrades is really wonderful for going mech, and the Thor is much more versatile now. | ||

Thor radius, inner radius, and separation radius increased from 0.8215 to 1. I'm guessing they mean, respectively Size of the visual model Collision size The amount of space a pack of Thors will try to keep with each other, though you can still move them closer and/or have units walk between them (???) | ||
