The Blink nerf is because there are some seriously powerful all-ins with Blink Staker + Mothership Core. In WoL you would need an Observer for high ground vision which delays and weakens the push. Sensible change. | ||

Blink all-ins were too good vs Terran, due to not needing a robo and having a mothership core for vision so it hits alot faster than in WoL. So Protoss could outright kill a terran that opened 1Rax FE or any other relatively safe build. | ||

if thinks keep going at the rate of patch 9 and 10 instead of massive improvements like patch 8 i see massive QQ incoming at release of course its a beta and they can try stuff but there are far more pressing issues still to be settled so its kinda disappointing to see the patches turning into number-fiddling again and the mod edit in the OP is just completely inaccepitable. i reported on the OP and i think more people should. the last thing TL needs is mods abusing power to push their opinions | ||

The only new unit Terran got (widow mine) now made complete trash. Mech TvP no where near any good. Raven seeker missile made worse in one patch by taking away splash, making it a shitty yamato cannon, and not listening that the main problem with the raven was accessibility not what the abilities did. Bring back the warhound please. edit: and i just watched a video of the new fungal projectile. They buffed fungal...LOL. It is fast enough to be nigh undodgable, and now has +1 range from the WOL fungal lol. You have got to be kidding me. It's just all blowing my mind so hard, I can't believe it. Blizzard is totally fine with the infestor being the counter to EVERYTHING. When ghosts counter zerg units, it's time for a big nerf (making snipe a pure joke). What do infestors get? A buff. I don't see a single reason to refuse to give ravens more starting energy and to give them a SICK huge range. No, what blizzard does is take away the splash damage. The widow mine is just insanely bad. In BW we had mines coming out of a unit, and those mines could do GAME CHANGING damage. Now we got a 2 supply mine that we have to build out of our factory, and that can't even kill a stalker. How many days did the +1 +1 on armory for both mech and air stay? 2 days? 3 days? It's so sad to be a terran these days  ... | ||

Especially against mech openers, it really limited what you could open with =/ and also it restricted the kinds of maps you could have (like shak and antiga were really strong for blink all ins) | ||

On a serious note I still can't wrap my head around the fact that they are spending time tweaking fungal over trying to improve TvP mech. Especially when the whole community hates fungal with passion and most terrans and protosses wants changes to the very stale TvP matchup. And then terran only got a transformed hellion and a "mine" for Hots. Buffing fungal should be the lowest thing on their list of priorities. This. I am upper dissapointed in Blizzard. Nobody cares if the infestor is underpowered, and hoenstly do we even know whether its UP or just not figured out yet? I mean it probably takes a bit of practice to learn how to use the new fungal optimally, so why not just give it time? And instead focus on making mech viable. I hoenstly don't know what they are waiting for, and its not like that they have a lot of time left. Any change to make mech will cause a chain reaction and therefore we will most likely need quite a few patches before mech becomes viable and balanced. | ||

A projectile moving at 10 speed over a range of 8 takes longer than a projectile with 15 speed over 10 range. So the time it takes for the Fungal to hit at max range 10 is now actually faster than the old 8 range 10 speed. So no, it doesn't take longer to hit. If they didn't change the speed then yes, but clearly it's a lot faster now. | ||

It could be there, but I mean, what he said is just flat out wrong. The video posted earlier clearly shows that the projectile speed is incredibly fast and the range now allows fungal through fog. | ||

We were just getting into the swing of seeing how zerg can do with their other units and the Viper in particular, and before we have time to play around and see where things go, they make fungal just as good if not better than it was in WoL with ridiculous range and an absurd speed. It's practically instant, nobody will dodge that now. WTF blizzard? Why did you nerf it in the first place if you weren't going to give the beta some time to develop? I can't see Protoss or Terran dealing with that. You need to come up with another answer to ZvZ mutalisk issues than the infestor. | ||

Notice though that he misses a marine at 2:05. However he also clicked slightly up of where the marine was so the fungal radius missed, but I think if he had clicked a bit lower then the radius would have hit the marine. That also means that the only way to dodge the new fungal is to be very close or at maximum range of the spell. | ||
