I like tat they made the mutalisk more durable.
Things like the medivac change and muta change to make units more durable is only really a good thing, it means less blink and it's over mass army battles, with more chance to save units or have longer battles.

Anything that increases longevity is a good thig, hopefuly if they need to do any balancing they will do it by making other units more durable as well,rather than nerfing the muta or adding more damage to something or other.
HOLY CHECK!

Yes but we still need something to destroy badly controlled mutalisks, like the scourge in BW, or the baneling against zerglings.
Else, it will just be "who is recolting the more gas and has the more mutalissk"... :/

Sounds awesome - solidifies widow mines as an anti muta defence as you definitely get a muta, regardless of HP.
Cool changes :D

Man I'm scared about ZvZ in HotS even before the muta speed buff let alone this new regen buff. With the fungal nerf (which is much needed of course) alone I feel like zerg needs some kind of new anti-light air splash damage. Won't really affect T or P as they dont really mass banshee or phoenix at competitive levels anyway.
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

Actually the medivac upgrade made bio durable and microable and made biomech vs ultralingbanelingviper a skilled matchup, where Z needs to flank, to use spells intelligently and so on. This one upgrade only.
Give thanks and praise!

Well hallucination is free now, don't need an upgrade so scouting should be easier.


Oh ya, constantly forgetting about that change :D

But ya, even with scouting it will be very hard. More powerful Mutas mean that you have to put more resources into countering them. I just feel like that a Muta/Hydra tech switch will be too much for Protoss since the Protoss techs that counter them are quite far apart and expensive. Mutas will be even better against Stalkers so it seems that Stargate would be the only viable option... we'll have to see.

Toss gonna need to mass air vs zerg because now any splash have will do shit to muta now

But it's way too much. 12 hp/s and 4hp/energy would be a lot more reasonable than what it is currently.

Corrupter splash against air light (might make some interesting muta/corrupter fights?)

And corrupter needs something 'cool'.
I love.

I think that storm + stargate will still be viable. Storms to lower the HP of the mutas, and phoenix to kill them before they regen.
And storm counters hydras. So its ok.

Why? I mean they cant out heal banelings, and they are barely outhealing roach hidra is played correctly and Ultras doesnt give a **** about medivacs healing.

The other changes sound okay, but I have to test them.

Although I don't think the Corruptor's basic auto-attack should be changed, I think replacing the Corruption ability with something interesting could be a good solution.

The Swarm Host spawning Scourge instead of Locusts, and having Scourge hit both ground and air sound good =)

Nooooes mah Dark Shrine!

I saw the Armory upgrade change coming and Oracle change is really nice, it's a nerf, but will make it feel more like an ability instead of just another unit with an attack.

I hope they remove the Tempest, it is stupid.. This unit will just be in the game, to disallow the opponent to make any Colossus/Battlecruisers/Broodlords/Carriers, whilst being a unit that never gets made, because people won't make these units in the first place.
So essentially it's a unit that removes complexity and narrows the game down.

In WoL it's hard to defend Mutas without having opened Stargate and with having opened Stargate, you deal with Mutas too well, in HotS it feels like this is even more the case, where it should go the other way, being more all round.
Also would be cooler if regen was a ability, where they go into a cocoon like thingy, increasing armor, but not being able to move for some time.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.
