Mutalisk buff (again) = bad. Everything else = I don't care. Although I hope the medivac healing beam is some sort of changing rainbow disco ambience. That'd be pretty sick. | ||

Zerg have have a whole upgrade that only affects 2 units?(melee) And protoss is crushing people with that extra 125/125 minerals and gas. That whole stalker and part of a senty wins me games all the time. People are still using this argument? I mean I guess stim and combat shields should be 50/50 because that only saves the cost of 1 medivac. It must not have a huge impact right? Oh wait, there are things such as timings and economy. | ||

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. absolutely not. being able to go from 3/3 thors into 3/3 viking battlecruisers without researching anything else is ridiculous. | ||

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. I thought this would be really cool too, but it might make mutas too powerful during engagements. | ||

Not to mention that tempest is incredibly op now against bcs and there is no more reason to build bcs in TvP at all. Want a yamato? Use the raven, it's much better in everything. | ||

Were you not here around the Blueflame icon buff? This is totally a metagame changing buff not a nerf. | ||

- removed thor - added goliath (possibly with really small splash to air, reason see below) - add air stacking (not as an ability obvious, but by using an overlord or larvae added to your group or via another method) - add moving shot to game - revert passive regeneration on mutalisk - remove swarm host, make the lurker somehow work (-remove collussus? Add other more interesting and skill requiring unit) - remove widow mine - add spider mine to reaper/hellion/... whatever fits best - change fungal to plague - change consume from absorbing builing heatlth to destroying a unit (bw version) - change blinding cloud to dark swarm (toned down perhaps, percentage based damage reduction? like 80 percent or something) - Make ultralisks smaller - change general pathing of units to allow better control (see bw) and destroy deathball - require less workers per base for saturation meaning less income per base and thus allowing more options (low econ games vs high econ games) - significantly tone down spawn larvae/mule and chronoboost - give cooldown advantage to gateways versus warp gates I think this is everything. Obviously balance any issues which may arise through these changes | ||

+ Show Spoiler + On a more serious note, I actually dislike the Dark Shrine change, however I think that either dark shrine shoould require a Templar archives (and be correspondingly cheaper and faster to build) or the building should be scrapped and we should go back to Broodwar with the Archives giving both Templar. The reason for this is it allows the Toss player to get something defensive (storm/feedback/archons) and something to put pressure on their opponents at the same time (DTs) without causing catestrophic damage to their own economy/tech. P.S. These changes might also make Zerg fun to play again, brood-infestor makes them boring. | ||

Why don't we play a better version of SC 2 and implement the changes? It's like people want the game to be worse just so they can say it isn't BW. Guess what? Browder's predecessors are kicking his ass right now and they don't even work at blizzard anymore. People being resistant to making it more like BW are absolutely crazy. It's more about making it better rather than making it like BW. BW just happens to be designed better. | ||

Obviously balance any issues which may arise through these changes stacking wouldn't even help in sc 2. There is no benefit to it. In fact, it puts your units in more danger. that having been said, you should just keep playing BW. Sc2 obviously is not for you. | ||
