Also any changes for the voidray? It seems to be the new massed unit in PvP instead of colossus.



And Collosus which is a big deal.

Armory
Vehicle and Ship Weapon upgrades are once again separate.
Vehicle and Ship Plating upgrades are still combined.


I knew it, just knew they would change this. I even thought it would be removed altogether but this seems to be a nice compromise. Mech into 3/3 Vikings and BCs was very strong.

The Medivac’s healing beam now changes color once the Caduceus Reactor upgrade is complete.


Only one question - What color is it?? :D


Sounds like a Blue Flame Medivac upgrade to me ;P

Figured the mech buff wouldn't last long.
Still a bit surprised they are leaving reapers and medivacs as is.

Tempest is already rampages everything, why need to buff their damage?
Give thanks and praise!

Nice changes. I was expecting that armory changes (1 armor and 1 attack for every mech unit was a bit extreme IMO), and I am really curious about how metagame will evolve for protoss now that you need 3 shots to kill a BL and 5 to kill a colossus.

Also, muta regen changes are welcomed

It's only a buff against massive, I guess they figure it wasn't strong enough vs BL's and this will also make colossus worse in PvP.

Blizzard seems to have pretty much adopted the philosophy of making everything overpowered until it's balanced.

Well.. I saw the upgrades nerf coming...
Isn't too bad tho, I don't like Mech anyway.

I remember playing on a custom map with funky changes to the games, and muta actually had a hp regen upgrade. Funny how things go. It's now an official thing, sort of.

I still wish the beta wasn't so laggy from EU tho ;;
Can't even shoot and kite with reapers sometimes

It's what they should've done to begin with. See BW.
