God, Mutas were already lame as fuck to deal with, now it's even worse t_t
Pulsar Beam change is quite interesting tho, it's a nerf when you don't attack for too long, and a buff if you attack for a longer time


If you get an Oracle and go in with 50 energy the old beam would consume that in 12.5s. New beam would go in take 25 for activation and last for 12.5s. No difference on how long you can use it. The difference now is that you are totally committed to using all the energy to be effective. The old beam you could activate and deactivate as you needed it to conserve the energy making much more versatile. Imagine that you use all energy and want to go back in for a 3 sec harass, you would need to wait to have 12 energy, now you need 31 energy to do the same. It's a nerf of how often you can harass with it. To be honest I wasn't all to convinced that it was even good enough since good players could always shut it down quite effectively.

Even worse is the fact that this will drastically reduce the versatility of the unit to switch between harasser and army support. For that activation cost you could go harass for 6s and come back and maybe have enough energy, or almost enough to cast a time warp or revelation. 25 is way, way too expensive.

More off the wall changes, don't understand the direction they're going in. They seem to buff without a roadmap in mind for how they want units to be used and how games will play out. They just say "unit A too good=nerf, unit b too bad=buff." The health buff for mutas is just odd.

Not to worried about the muta buff......since Phoenix can upgrade to 7 range. SUPER easy to kite mutas since you have over double their range.

if blizz want mutas viable in zvt they should just do what it was in bw, make turrets not nearly as scary and let you be able to actually stack/micro them.

instead they change the hp regen? what...

Yeah apparently making movement/accelerating not so floaty and slow is bad for blizzard. It's weird how they refuse to give mutas the trait they need most, the ability to micro and have an instant start and stop animation.

EDIT: nevermind. If mutas had instant start/stop so you could really micro them, they would probably be prettty sick.

Just as a side note Tempts buff gives it a DPS of 24 verse massive. Thats not that scary since carriers have a DPS of 26 verse everything. Its obviously still strong cuz of the huge range but just thought I would point that out before the huge shit storm comes because of it

um close position robo timings work the same exact way that they do in WoL. you're theorycrafting way too much.

mutas got better survivability, that's literally the only thing that changed.

besides, toss are using stargate opening with every build - including robo builds. you see muta, you react accordingly (terran and zerg seem to react properly). why is that concept so hard for toss players :p

i'd also like to point out that the nexus static D will buy enough time for any response to mutas. it's a full minute of heavy hitting, and that is very very powerful.

This the key spot for the armory. It is now equal for all races. ish. I havent played agaist Dt rushes or toss air in a while. Any1 knwo if they fixed the mac problem, my friend has a mac. I am waiting for the Pheonix upgrade to be taken out. It makes them way to good. They now have the same range as the viking, but attack faster, and move faster. I just want a tiny nerf.

Wow as if Mutas aren't OP as it is. Blizzard keeps giving Zerg all these good updates when they honestly don't need anymore.
They need to focus more on how to fix Terran and Protoss.

They will be lucky if I even buy the game because they have just ran Protoss into the ground.

Seriously...all these Zerg players in this thread calling widow mines "good" especially vs mutas. Do you watch or play any HotS? Widow mines are terrrrrrible at the moment.

I feel like they are changing things up a bit too quickly. I had misgivings about the upgrades for Terran and the cost of DT Shrine, but was willing to let them at least pan out and see what happened. I can't help but wonder why they are making such rapid adjustments.

As a Zerg also I feel like the Muta change is unnecessary.

I'm a little worried about this tempest change. It affects their damage vs. broodlords, battlecruisers, carriers and other tempests, and while I'm fine with them countering the first three, I'm a bit worried that the best counter to tempests in PvP is going to be making your own tempests, in which case we just get current WoL PvP except with mass tempests rather than mass colossi. Though that could be total bullshit, I haven't played enough HotS PvP to know whether this is actually a potential issue or not.
