Wait what aren't ultras and thors massive? Why would it not effect them?

From balance patch #8

Attacks with two weapons. The primary weapon, Kinetic Overload, hits air units and remains unchanged. The secondary weapon, Resonance Coil, hits ground units, and does not deal bonus damage to massive units.

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.


Don't worry, scourge will be one of the new units for Zerg in Legacy of the Void :D


Nah in LotV they will scrap Mothership, the Mothership Core will be called T.F.B.T.T.S "The Floaty Blue Thing That Spins", and they will add Raynor, Zeratul, and Kerrigan as Hero units available from tier 1.

Hope Blizz keeps buffing Mutas until they become even more retarded.

Its the air attack which is buffed not the ground one.


Oh wow that's awesome, thought it might make tempests to strong vs ultras but if it's only vs bl's and stuff then I dont' care :D

the tempest has two different attacks since patch 8

one hits only air and does 30 + 50 vs massive
one hits only ground and does 30 damage flat

They still haven't addressed the Queen, or the roach, or the macro mechanics overly-encouraging passive play, or inflated supply values, or chain-fungals / forcefields. Why are they still throwing darts? Instead of attacking problems, they just throw more layers of stuff onto the game and hope that'll please people.

I love that Blizzard is much more willing to experiment.

Oracle change ist VERY good. The player needs to make a crucial decision when to activate. I dont think its nerf or buff its just better gameplay.

Love the armory change its a good middle way!

Widow Mine, Dark Shrine... meh

Well the two big things:
Tempest: I hate it! tooooo much, its like the immortal is just to hard of a counter now.

Muta: Well you could say it is helping with Widowmines.. but actually... well I think its fine to give it a try

Don't like this patch. What is up with this tempest damage? Do they never want a BC built in TvP? And I was getting hyped about mech in hots...
Also I really don't see why mutas need any more buffs.

Tempest 80 dmg vs massive air?... I don't think anyone is ever going to make a colossus in a PvP again lol


I'd still make 2-3 and force my enemy to make tempests, then make nothing else that tempests are good against.

Alternatively, phoenix openers into colossi could be strong if your opponent didn't also open stargate. Your phoenix will make his getting tempests pretty difficult.

Will HotS be the return of Bisu? I hope it will be so, but I still hope Flash will be better

And hopefully, server downtime shouldn't be too long. Balance update #8 came with a ton of UI updates that probably also caused some server problems that extended the downtime. This time shouldn't be too long.

Does tempest do 50 damage or 80 to massive air? Their description is unclear.


It deals 30 damage + 50 to massive (so 80 to brood lords, BCs, Ultras)

opening stargate in bw and opening stargate in sc2 isnt the same thing at all. atleast in bw you had a air splash attak, now mass muta wont care about any dmg at all they gonna suck up all the dmg while killing every probe then leave and be full heatlh 45 sec later

''Armory
Vehicle and Ship Weapon upgrades are once again separate.''

Too bad, landed vikings we're actually good in my mech army for once =/. Also was cool going Hellbats + Vikings with bio armies.

Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Yeah definitely feels like too many passives and spells now...I don't think those are going to be the solution to WoL's problems.
