Your post is just stupid. You really want to see another few years of one dimensional play? There are now close to no counters to a Thor except for the viper. Let's see how long it'll take terrans to prepare a little bit for that with either free fully upgraded vikings or some Ghosts. This isn't about anyone crying. Further, I don't think any Zerg in here liked playing infestor broodlord. It's just plain boring and incredibly bad for the game.
So stop it.. Seriously, stop.

Yeah but what you're not understanding here is that the Medivac buff is not a buff to Terran late game, it's a buff to Medivacs at any point in the game. No Terran is gonna make Medivacs before they have this upgrade started because there is no reason not to and it's very strong. If Blizzard keeps this upgrade in the game they will need to move it to higher tech than just a Tech lab, put it at Fusion Core or something.

Yes they will, they will make some anyways. Ultras are still a joke and Bio can kill it just fine especially with new Healing buff, no reason to tech switch at all to deal with Ultras so the only risk is Brood or Vipers, make a few Vikings early and ez pz.

Please dont understand that question wrong. But in what league are you playing in? I cant imagine any decent terran to not have a few vikings or ghosts to deal with that.

Wowowowowo, nice work blizzard, a lot of change is always excellent, we'll see how it turns out but it's better to take amssive changes than reduce later than only very small changes that are just boring

Buffing the ultradmg to 35 may seems good for some people. But dmg was never their problems, its being unable to connect properly with the bioforce.
Soo.. Hydraspeed to Lair? I like it, but it wont change anything. You really need a ton of upgrades to make them efficient, you simply cant afford lair + upgrades + range upgrade + speed upgrade at the early midgame. And all those things are desperately needed to make hydras viable.
On the first thought i like the muta buff too, but seriously, given the buffs the other races got its more a nerf than a buff. 0.25 speed to compensate even more phoenix range and ultra strong medivacs? The problem in going muta was always that you need to transition out of them really soon before P/T is too upgrade heavy or has splash damage or a dozen medivacs. Thats the reason (and not the movementspeed) that people just dont go muta anymore. Buffing bio and phoenixes will make mutas even more weak
I also feel like, especially regarding the medivac changes, that zerg really needs an anticaster spell like feedback or emp. but it seems like blizzard doesnt feel that way, they rather keep stupid things like neural parasite I totally agree, Zerg gonna be a joke to try and play for a while, nothing they have will be able to beat just a plain ol' Bio/Medi/Tank push. I don't see Zerg needing an anti-caster unit, if they just had some unit that was a reliable form of anti-light that'd be enough. Terran gets Siege Tanks, Protoss gets Colossus, Zerg used to have Infestors [yay] and now they only have Banelings which drastically lose utility in the midgame. Did they remove Infestors? Because i am quite sure that they only nerfed Infestors slightly. 8 range is still very long and honestly, i don't think that you are going to see anyone lower than Master League being able to dodge Fungals. It is going to be about as hard as it is to dodge EMP Neural parasite is nearly useless, so it's as good as non-existant. Infested terrans deal 40% less damage in the late game, and 3 less armor (now take 50–100% more damage vs low damage targets in the late game).
Targets of a fungal growth at max range can now dodge the blast in an ideal scenario(I haven't tested the exact effects) for units like mutalisks, reapers, hellions, phoenix, or medivacs. Aside from that fact, even if the target is moving in a relatively straight line, it takes lots of prediction to be able to hit a target now, and will be unable to hit a fleeing target within a certain range. The range to hit a fleeing mutalisk/medivac travelling in a straight line will now be 4.6 (if I did my math correctly); If it's trying to dodge the FG(not travelling in a straight line), it may not hit altogether. Stalkers are nearly immune to FG now if they have blink. This is not a SMALL change, this is a HUGE nerf.
Blizzard tried changing FG to a projectile before, and went against it (why they're trying it again is unknown to me).
For the record, I'm not against the possibility of it being a projectile, it's just that as a projectile, it should have a longer range (at least 10) and/or should be faster.

If I cut your right arm off you would probably want some compensation of strength in your left arm instead of "Well that right hook of yours was really something...so much for that!" Bio is still every bit as weak against zerg splash as it always has been. It'll still get mauled by infestor/ling/bling and still get overrun by huge numbers of cracklings mixed in with ultras and a few infestors. You still need tanks to take either composition out. Yes, late game medivacs will make it a little easier for terran to cope with the huge swarms of cracklings and fungals and everything else that rains down on a late game terran army but it's not that big a change. Yeah but what you're not understanding here is that the Medivac buff is not a buff to Terran late game, it's a buff to Medivacs at any point in the game. No Terran is gonna make Medivacs before they have this upgrade started because there is no reason not to and it's very strong. If Blizzard keeps this upgrade in the game they will need to move it to higher tech than just a Tech lab, put it at Fusion Core or something.

Yeah it's not like they're good against vipers or overlords or corruptors or anything.

Not to mention that zerglings don't even exist anymore with firebats (which still got buffed ahah) Why do people keep saying stuff like this? Banelings are really, really, really good against both bio and hellions. Sure if your opponent can't micro and doesn't build tanks.
This is people talking about drops behind mineral lines and stuff.

Good to see people immediately claiming things being over/underpowered not even 12 hours after the changes hit the server. These changes change the game as we know it ENTIRELY. Give it some time to play out before you start screaming for nerfs/buffs z_z

Combining the ground and air vehicle upgrades I think is going to be the most surprisingly relevant balance decision in this patch, Viking Assault Mode is no longer a joke with 3/3 upgrades and Vikings have a clear end game advantage vs Corrupters now. Even Banshees are suprisingly relevant if they survive past the mid-game, they kill off Roaches at an alarming rate and trade more cost effectively vs Hydralisks.

Are you sure Zerg bio will not lose vs zerg? I don't think are that good at this game to call that. Yeah, I'm very positive actually. I only got to play about 3 real games before server shut down but I got to play with Terran a little. Every Terran will just go ahead and get the Medivac upgrade before switching the Starport to a Reactor, the buff to healing is insane. If Infestors had 0 nerfs it *might* be balanced out since you can nearly heal straight through Fungal, forget about the range and being able to dodge them. Add in all the other massive Terran buffs and the fact Zerg got basically nothing that will help in ZvT, yeah I think it's pretty safe to say Zerg is fucked. The mathematics of it don't work out like that I'm afraid. The upgrade makes a medivac worth around 1.6 medivacs in pure healing power. The upgrade itself costs 150/150 and requires 110 seconds to work. Given that most reactors on an early game starport go down as the starport is building or are already built, there is no latent addon building time so you can assume an instant swap. Since the upgrade is 110s you can undergo a full 3 building cycles before your medivacs are actually ready, meaning that for most early game timings you are actually better off having the 6 medivacs you will have out from your starport than the 3 upgraded medivacs. No only are they capable of more healing but they also have more hitpoints and can heal more bio at a given time. Not every day a Masters player gets schooled by a Gold leaguer :p
Well, you are right, but I'd guess that it could make sense to get the upgrade first in a lot of scenarios, like for banshee (raven?!?) first openings and just use the techlab first.
But yeah, for example for "classic" bio PvT play, you need the reactor against two base colossus play as well. Though I think that in the end we will just see different BOs (f.e. 2starports instead of one reactored), so I guess it's quite to early for real predcitions.

Uhm. The thor hasn't been given nuclear missiles. It's been given an attack which doesn't get too badly mauled by armour compared to its current attack and fires slightly faster. In most cases the thor is actually better off using its current attack due to splash! However, for sniping overlords, dealing with aerial spell casters, unclumped vikings, void rays, broodlords and those suicidal moments you want to go toe to toe with a battlecruiser (have fun getting yamatoed!), the new mode is much improved.
You will find most terran players will have a few thors set to air battle mode but most will remain in splash mode because of sheer efficiency.

Except you fail to take into account that your example only really works for a very specific timing window. Terrans won't NEED to cripple their enemy in the early-midgame now and hitting that specific timing as strong as humanly possible isn't so required, why not just set yourself up for an even stronger timing a little bit later and just switch your build order around a bit so you can macro harder till your Medivac timing, you could even just work 2 Starports into your build if hitting that 6 Medivac timing is so truly important.
Also, arbitrarily declaring yourself as "owning" me is pretty sad when your argument is so weak.

Since the upgrade is 110s you can undergo a full 3 building cycles before your medivacs are actually ready, meaning that for most early game timings you are actually better off having the 6 medivacs you will have out from your starport than the 3 upgraded medivacs. No only are they capable of more healing but they also have more hitpoints and can heal more bio at a given time. Not every day a Masters player gets schooled by a Gold leaguer :p Well, you are right, but I'd guess that it could make sense to get the upgrade first in a lot of scenarios, like for banshee (raven?!?) first openings and just use the techlab first. But yeah, for example for "classic" bio PvT play, you need the reactor against two base colossus play as well. Though I think that in the end we will just see different BOs (f.e. 2starports instead of one reactored), so I guess it's quite to early for real predcitions.
Your main problem at that point is gas. Going such an offensive medivac play is basically admitting you aren't going to get tanks and you are hugely cutting down on your early game medivac count until at least 14-15 minutes in order to get that upgrade.
That also means you're cutting down on your drops.
Now personally I'd be happy to have it on the fusion core just to add another minute or so to it just to put off those problems, but even then it's not going to make a huge difference because you still need to invest in a starport with a tech lab and you're probably only going to do that if you get a 3rd.
If you go early game starport tech lab then you're probably not focusing early game on medivacs so the problem he's complaining about doesn't occur. If you are going early tech starport then yes, it makes sense to maximize the return on your medivacs but it isn't the most efficient way to do it.
