Some really interesting changes, I like the general Bio-buff, and the Mech upgrade idea seems interesting. Thors and Ravens might see more usage in late-game TvZ, which I really like, though Seeker Missile seems really damn powerful 0_o

Wow, Terran is going to have some sick transitions now that mech and air share upgrades... and those medivacs... and I'm guessing Thors are good at killing collossi now (they should attack with the weapon which has the more range like the queen, shouldn't they?).
The annoying, rage inducing style of playing Terran is back! I'm looking forward to the tears you bastards are going to bring out of us. Nice.

Blizzard ppl are so degenerate. Hellbat wasnt strong enough? Widow mine wasnt strong enough? MEDIVAC BOOST WHAT?!?!?! Looks like theyre going down the same road as WoL. Start with terran 5 times as good as other races and scale it down from there.

Return of the terrans it seems. I am amazed by the buffs. I love that there are more activated abilities in stead of passive. Do it with the immortal too

The removal of burrow charge is not very reasonable. I know they worry about ultra being overpowered, but it's ok to leave burrow charge.

I like how they are making all the races more OP, it should result in more exciting strategies and compositions and overall more dramatic games.

Terran is looking particularly scary atm!

Jesus, lategame PvZ got super-nerfed (since it seems that fungals/neural still works vs psionic and massive units -quite not sure I don't remember the last patch, and that mothership is now extremely USELESS) and Terran got suerbuffed, how the fuck are you supposed to do to kill a MMM army ?

Also, who else had an outburst of expletives when they read: "Dark Shrine cost decreases to 100/100"? Holy shit...

It doesn't matter because protoss has a unit that can shoot at workers from the sky. I am going to one base stargate the first terran I play against laugh as I kill the workers without having to use some stupid spell. I don't even care if I win the game.

They attack with the attack that does most damage to the target. I think they still use their ground attack.

While the DT seems to have gotten a lot of buffs, directly and indirectly, I'm kinda sad over the void ray losing its charge. To me, the void ray seemed more of a key component in dealing with mutas than any other unit. I think units like the phoenix make for horrible counters: even if you do end up dealing with the mutas or halting their production, you have phoenixes that are wasting supply. Meh. At least with zerg's anti air they can eventually make it into only the strongest unit in the mu... grr.

Terran got i much needed boost (the upgrades is a change ive been saying it needed for a long time), but at the cost of the units costing more and requiring more tech structures and taking longer to build. i heard they want to make bio a beeter late game option cant wait too see how they do that.

seeker missile sounds fun cant wait to try it

I feel like they could have changed Vortex differently. For example, make it deal the amount of hp lost of an unit in an AoE around it or something. That way you need to target a low health unit in the middle of the enemy, at least would be really micro-intensive/precise and high reward.
