Tempest are actually quite versatile of an air unit. Despite their huge bonuses to massive, once you have a ton of them with plenty of Templar to protect them it's very hard to stop it with non-massive unit compositions. | ||

I think it was game 4, but Ryung had a massive supply advantage, and every engagement he split like a god, but sniper was still somehow able to stay in the game with fungals, ultras, and infested terrans. And then to watch the last game, where ryung once again played as good as any terran could in this current time period, but still lost to infestors Yeah and forgetting siege tech in that last game. He played so perfect lol. So tosses how are you liking the new mutalisks so far?  | ||

I don't agree that it has to be balanced at all times to flourish. For example, if we are to consider WoL decently balanced right now, then the early WoL was imbalanced. Yet, the scene was still flourishing. It would be interesting and fun if the strategies/units kept changing every few years, but that's pretty much like making a new game haha (you'd have to change the things in such a way as to keep the design still interesting and "making sense" and not just changing random things) but it would still be fun to watch/play, since it would be less about playing perfectly with a balanced game and more like discovering what strategies are the best and how to play in an unstable metagame but then again, a similar idea can be applied, in the forms of new and interesting maps :D just to a lesser extent | ||

Are there three different values (air attack vs. massive, air attack vs. non-massive, ground attack)? | ||

SC2 is becoming Brood War, in this meaning that it is now collection of OP units. Same as in BW - you know: BW's Tanks, HTs and so on. In HOTS: Medivacs, Reapers, Mutas, Tempests(?) I don't know if I like it, but man... pro games, tournaments, this is going to be interesting. One more thing. Long time ago Blizzard nerfed Hellions because they were OP in... TvT. Even before that they nerfed Reapers, coz of OP in TvZ. In HOTS new Reapers are definitely too powerful in TvT. They don't seem to be a problem in other matchups, but they cause same problem in TvT as Hellions caused long time ago. I wonder when they are going to be changed. | ||

Broodlings and Infestor eggs are indistinguishable in WOL, which make it very hard to understand which is whose in Zerg mirrors. Will Blizzard be fixing this? | ||

Reapers makes TvT a bit wierd but it doesn't neccesarly break the matchup. Yeah Gasless openings are extremely hard to pull off ( but not impossible if you're careful ) but other than that i think it's fine . You can allways build a few Reaper yourself and put them in a bunker ( watching other reapers get torn apart by a reaper bunker is hillarious , almost as fun as watching a horde of zerglings get destroyed by 4 reapers in a bunker and your opponent scream imba ^^ ) or get a marauder or fasttech to widow mines. | ||

It's weird, I know BL/Infestor was ridiculous in WOL but making BLs tottaly worthless (at laest in ZvP)isn't exactly a good solution. | ||

It doesn't make them stronger in a fight. They might last one more hit because of faster regeneration. The regeneration might help them get back in the fight faster....(but queen's quick heal role is already doing that). The faster acceleration buff is actually a lot better. You can dance around the army and harass like a ninja. | ||

Mutalisk change looks good. So they were onto something with the reaper regeneration. ^^ Wish they adressed the Seeker Missile, but that will probably come soon. | ||
