Just go back to all mech/ship upgrades shared. I really don't think it's overpowered. It's hard to justify these upgrades without a really odd and likely impractical unit composition.

The mutalisk buff is interesting too. I think something along those lines could definitely help them to stay relevant in their role as a harass unit without making them overpowered.

Seriously your post makes me wonder if you play hots.

If you know how to burrow widows and you know your opponent is going mutalisk you would know how good they are vs mutas.

They should not be able to hit air and be buffed elsewhere to compensate.

Because widow mines need to take less supply, do less damages, and not hit air. And then, it will be a good unit.


penixes, oracles, mscore, tempests, carriers, mutas, vipers ... all the 'cool' new stuff in hots flies. If WM's can't hit flying unit, then I don't see their point.


Huh? Widows are good vs the ground composition or should be, not both. It's not like all races are all of a sudden going only air, so if widows couldn't hit air and were stronger vs ground they would be good as every race still has to have ground units.


If Mines were to no longer hit air units it would be time just to scrap the entire unit or give it a complete overhaul as far as function. They add very little to the Mech composition, especially to how it plays, without the anti-air capability. Especially now that they nerfed focus fire with them.

Even though you are a relatively high level player Blade5555 and I respect your opinion, I still haven't heard a good argument as to why (high level at least) Zerg's won't be able to just use multiple Overseers to harass. As in, keeping an Overseer outside of the bases that you would harass, and using them to sweep for mines shortly before you poke into that base with your Mutas. Is it because of the risk of a Terran player simply planting Widow Mines outside of their base - just randomly on the map? (Because you can't keep an Overseer with your Muta pack at all times without drastically slowing them down?)


I agree with you but because of widowmine, they must buff muta up the butt to compensate for one unit. All these buff to mutas could really skewer the zvp match up just trying to keep mine in the game. Although taking the anti air out of mine terran mech will be impossible. Right now terran mech can fight toss ground to ground decently well, atleast in last patch. The only problem was toss air transition that completely wrecks it. Same goes to zerg viper BL w/e ball.
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...

More importanly you should hope they undo the nerfs they gave it in WOL's beta.

those nerfs combined with how expensive grooved spines are( Really hydralisk should have 6 range default and no range upgrade at all but thats beside the point) Ruined the Unit.

Totally. I miss the green spitting hydralisks of old!

New patch looks interesting, but I'm still unsure how mutas fare against widow mines. This coming from someone who does not have the beta.

Great, harassment is buffed.

With the infestor nerf, Z will be more vulnerable to harassment.

But what about P? Warpin is untouched and late game harassment TvP is still not viable.


Have you USED the new medivacs?

Dark Shrine should be cheap, or (much better) just be Templar tech (would delay dt's anyway).

And I really hope Oracle get use, but if it can't hit the board once is out, considering the huge gas requirement, is gonna be useless as Void Rays in WoL right now.

In PvZ, the new muta make a must the stargate play from the P, or a 10 min all-in. Blink is not gonna be enough aganist the new mutas, so any non-sg macro play is almost a lose vs muta. That blind bo win sucks.

I really am curious now......how in gods name does Terran beat Tempests in the late game? The only reliable way to beat them before if you went mech was BC with Yamato, but now that the bonus against massive is so big I don't know if that is even feasible anymore. Protoss super air army may be impossible for Terran to stop.

now BC's are once again shit because of tempest making mech even harder vs p.

also the upgrade nerf makes it even harder to switch to air in the late game, i thought blizzard wanted mech to be viable in all matchups and the generally stronger late game combo.

I think the new Thor attack should get some Bonus damage to massive or should be better overall to compensate. Right Toss air is probably not really beatable Vikings really don't cut it alone and the rest of Terran anti-air is a total joke against this.

My initial thoughts of this patch bring me back to QXC's, fixing the game. I agree that passive abilities are boring and don't make for interesting play. If the idea is to make mutas regen health faster, than perhaps instead of a passive ability, the muta can get something that gives health based on their glaive worm attack. Or maybe even successful attacks have a chance to proc a health regen. I'm not sure...I like the buff, but not the execution of it.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine the parameters for success.

SC2 Muta ZvZ is usually about who manages to get the more deadly Muta ball out.
