Now we only need to change the Protoss weapons upgrade to Warpgate units / Robo units ans make it 2 so its balanced

All races now have five upgrades. Remember that protoss armour upgrades only cover a portion of their total HP.

I don't think forcing statics to be standard is good. It forces turtling. Imo most things that are made for defense but cannot attack should be circumventable to make the game dynamic. 1 spore per base is OK. but having ridicolous amounts of spines/spores+queens (like in WoL) per expension as standard setup just bores down the game.

Not talking specifically about medivac speed however. Just generally

Looked at from a different perspective, stronger static defence can - not necessarily does, but can - free up units for harass.
I like things.

ZvZ is gonna be lame. Z used to have scourge in BW, you could still win with lesser mutas. There are not much defenswe advantage for mutas now.

Its just fair. Before, upgrading +3 mech would make +3 air attack. It means that if the zerg was going BL, he would have 0/0 BL against 3/0 vikings... Was a non sense.

Still waiting for Tanks to be super awesome again, however I'm liking the patches and may start playing again when HotS comes out.

So if the Tempest does 80 damage to air now does that mean the battlecruiser isn't viable?

I also don't understand how a unit could possibly do 80 damage when siege tanks and snipers can't even 1 shot a Zergling.

Hooray for Mutas!

I feel like Zerg players are going to start going into Terran bases with an overseer to snipe widow mines from now on.

Question: Are Broodlirds officially dead as a tier 3 unit in ZvP? I feel like late game with tempests and HT there should be no way Broodlords will become cost effective as they were in WoL.

With viable stargate openers, fighting against mutas with blink stalkers + phoenix (which have +1 range in HOTS) won't be as hard as in WoL obviously. And the games will be funnier to watch from a spectator pov

Pretty straightforward stuff.

The Muta buff is a nice little perk but I'm really not sure it was needed.

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


At last!!! Broodlords were too weak against 3-3 thors + 3-3 vikings so early. oO
