Still Snipe, Yamato and now Seeker missle are all single target now. Would have preferred if it was still aoe and the point where is aimed got lit up or something....

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

You can already dodge Yamato, it just takes 20 range instead of 13.
Also, Yamato costs 100 energy in HotS, while HSM costs 125 energy.

DT rush will be really good now.

Seeker missile change is interesting.

New medivac seems really good.

DT rushes won't be that much better the build time is still quite long also everyone has decent Early detection now.

I am very surprised by this patch. I think Vortex is kind of useless now kill 1 nonmassive target. still 100 Energy? what I really believe they need to get rid of the only make 1 unit aspect of that unit and decrease it's size greatly.

I love the other changes except for the Muta change holy shit mutas were already pretty fast and now they are just scary. I guess Toss will be always opening stargate in PvZ anyway, so we will see but I don't think phoenix can out run these mutas.

Like an entirely different game now as well!

The void ray and ultra changes are stupid. The rest seem like they have potential. Although seeker missiles seems like an altered version of strike cannons now.

So they basically made the Mothership the most useless unit in the game, not that I have something against it, but it doesn't make sense to keep in the game at this point. No change to carriers still, apparently Tempest/Carrier combo would be too good. I'd still love to see the changes Nony proposed a while ago. VR doesn't look all that better, but we'll see.

Zerg looks good, even though the Infestor nerf might be a bit too drastic. Medivac increase in price and functionality is going to mess up a lot of timings and play styles.

Overall I like these changes and cannot wait to try them out. Good thing Blizzard is not afraid to make some significant changes to the game. I LIKE!!!

Wow. This really makes HotS an entire new game, not just a patch for WoL. I'm really just going to have to see how this plays out - some of these changes sound really strong, maybe even too strong. Medivacs are going to be AMAZING. 20 seconds is really short - medivacs are going to be so much harder to catch. Ultras dealing more damage is great; however they're still retarded and way too fat. Connecting them with units is tough, maybe too tough. Anyway - Very interesting.

For the first time since hots beta started, i can say that terran is finally interesting again! I've been playing zerg and terran since start of summer cause i wanted to have an option to switch if terran would look rather boring as it was so far (+ the situation in WoL was also not making it any more interesting to play, not balance wise, but metagame was pretty boring with exception of mech TvZ at my level). Now i think terran finally has future again
