I have no idea why Medivacs were buffed so extensively.. every Terran player I've spoken to thinks they're damn good enough and I have to agree.

Thank god. Removing upgrades from infested terrans, so sweet :D

This was one of the least sensible things, I always thought, about the infested marines. So you research ranged attacks, like spines and acid spit, and this assault rifle gets more powerful?? Ridiculous, almost as ridiculous as the infestor spawning them in the first place.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

Holy shit, can't wait to play this.

I'm sure Bisu is liking the sound of the phoenix and Dark Shrine changes o_o

What the actual fuck is the vortex change? The rest sounds really exciting.

Don't know what to think about them removing ultra burrow charge.


The ultra damage change is a buff. Now instead of doing only 15 damage to infantry it will be doing 35 no matter what. That is actually quiet a buff, it used to do only 15 to everything except it did 35 to armored.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Wow...vortex now kills a single unit and no longer affects massive units? Does that mean it no longer is a vortex or is it just a vortex that kills 1 thing inside of it?

Oh man these changes are all so cool but I have to question


Missile comes out and stays immobile in front of the Raven for 3 seconds while charging up, then rapidly moves (it’s not dodgeable at this point) and explodes at the target for 300 single target damage.


single target? Doesn't that just make it a yamato cannon?
If you don't like it, you can quit.

Wow I love that they have changed so much, no idea how I feel about some of them. The HSM seems pretty cool but the thor/medivac seems a bit gimmicky, will have to wait and see.

I would have thought they would have just made mech armor apply to both ground/air, might be a little strong to have mass tank/thor into 3/3 bc/viking.

I hope a lot more top players start streaming because this will be worth watching.

Can't they just give Raven's Irradiate already and call it a day? God what I wouldn't give to see that ability back in the game, mmm.

So pretty much every single thing in the game just got buffed LOL. I'm excited to see how this plays out. This basically transforms the game completely.

I really can't see the Medivac changes sticking...it's too powerful.


Agreed. When did Medivacs need SUCH a big buff anyway? It's a cool idea sure, but way too much of a buff IMO.

It's a dodgable Yamato, which makes it really really interesting.
