Infestor got nerfed, but Zerg has a lot of new toys in HotS
Terran not so much which is why I think they got a lot of buffs to existing units since Blizzard hasn't yet figured out what to give Terran as a new 3rd unit (if they give Terran a Warhound replacement)

What Zerg AoE? The Fungal which you can now dodge, or the Ultralisks you can endlessly kite, which they conveniently neutered of the charge that allowed them to market them as a new Zerg unit in HotS?

Terran doesn't get a third unit...

Ah... just wait for the next patch. Hydras now do 500% splash damage

The damage change for Ultralisks could be a big deal against everything. It basically does over twice as much damage against non-armored units compared to before.

The increase healing does not come with the non upgraded medivac. That means it's more of a late game situation where Z would get their T3 composition with mineral/gas bank for 300 food push. And with Ultra upgrade, it would chew through Bio unit very very easily without increase in healing late game.
Well said. There seems to be a lot of reaction to the medivac upgrade in this thread, but are people actually thinking?
Ultralisks with 35 base damage will absolutely DESTROY bio with their AoE + all of the other AoE that already destroys bio. If anything without this medivac upgrade bio wouldn't even be viable anymore.

The damage change is irrelevant when they can and will be kited endlessly. And they will still have the same pathing problems they've always had and run around like retards instead of attacking things half the time.

No, just spells that don't benefit from upgrades that aren't intended to benefit the spell. You know, like how mech upgrades don't buff auto-turrets.

I dont understand why Infested Terrans dont benefit from upgrades. That should be changed back in my opinion or they will be useless.
|
I can understand almost everything to a degree.... But the medivac healing buff... Wtf?
I'll go ahead and predict a 0% chance that this stays in the game.
This seems absolutely utterly ridiculous. I guess they really want us to use Infestors and never ever make Mutas in zvt...

auto turrets are buildings... Even more, they have their own upgrades (Building armor, hi-sec, materials)

Wow, you write fungal and ultralisk in the same sentence and you're still unable to make the connection. Fungal roots marines. Marines can not kite when rooted.
And you forgot banelings.

A buff that requires a 150/150 upgrade. It will probably be nerfed, but not necessarily removed.

Mutalisks should never really engage with marines anyway unless they are 100% sure they can take them out. Kind of like TvP bio. Hence their speed buff so you can harrass more.
Also, ultralisk with 35 splash to marines will destroy bio without the upgraded medivac.

the muta buff is a much bigger deal then most people think, they are fast as hell now!

OMG
Terrans FIGHTING!!!!
God I love that you only have a common upgade for ship and air veichles, best thing ever :D

You can't kite 8 ultralisks and a million cracklings running at you. There's also creep, fungal growth, Vipers, flanks, etc.

Also the Seeker is pointless. We already have Yamato blizzard. Keep Seeker it as it is, it's fine imo.##
That will definitely not stay in the game.
|
Well shit, looks like I really have to get into the beta at this point. HUGE changes o.o
Better not hear any complaints from Terran their shit looks absolutely nuts.
