Hellbat damage increase is weird, when their use is much more limited by their range rather than damage. | ||

Regarding the patch notes, I think I might be making some hellbats. | ||

Stopped HoTs to wait for this patch and now I am banging my head against the desk. Siege Mode upgrade............................................... I love your big focus on mech Blizzard. Your about 3 changes of short of possibly making mech viable. The unit we now get out "earlier" needs to do damage before I even consider making them TvP. Why is it so hard to comprehend this? It should not also be hard countered by every P unit in the game. and worst of all. We still have NO GtA AA that will help make mech viable. Ignorance is bliss my friends. | ||

Without Vortex killing 200/200 broodlord infestor corrupter armies is the hardest thing now. I think Vortex should have been reduced in Radius size. Need something to help Protoss late game. You already have the strongest lategame air army lol. Tempest + new void rays + carriers + HT | ||

reaper sucks vs zergs now, and medivacs doesnt help Bio late game vs Protoss. making TvT one base all even more viable with that stupid change to the tank (which in no fucking way help mech TvP) Raven is ok change, but once again, 1 step forward, 2 step back. 5 second delay for the missile ? wtf is this, no way zerg going to sit there doing nothing 5 seconds. "Emergency Thrusters ability renamed Ignite Afterburners" ok wtf i dont care about the name, the name i give to an ability is the hotkey it has. NICE CHANGE. fucking joke patch, blizzard come on, get your shit together omfg. User was warned for this post | ||

Tanks not requiring siege mode - does NOTHING to address weakness of mech in TvP and weakness of tanks in general, instead it opens up more EARLY GAME timing attacks (which Terran doesn't need) Reapers are...I don't even. What's the point of even making them now if you can't kill workers. Caduceus Reactor is garbage again, why would anyone research it, and how will bio survive in late game without it? Raven is the only good change. This patch is one giant joke lol. Where does Blizzard hire these guys. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Honestly I love the Reaper changes, they're officially not a gimmick unit anymore and something that can realistically be used as a core combat unit now in the later portions of the game. | ||

The Raven change is great, and the Siege Tank buff makes it easier to defend early all ins in TvP. While it doesn't help in the late game, I don't think mech has a problem in the late game to begin with, especially with the new raven to help with skytoss. I don't really like the reaper changes, but I never really liked reapers anyway. I like the Protoss changes as well. DT's and banshees vs Protoss are now an option, because you don't get free detection right off the bat with the MsCore. Time warp remains strong, but this avoids the ability to become spammable and broken in combination with storms. It also makes the oracles not so much of a "deathball unit" but more of an actual scout and harasser. Regarding the Zerg changes, meh... I guess any change that makes Infestors less prevalent in the Zerg army are great, but I'd like to see some bigger nerfs to it and buffs somewhere else to compensate. | ||

Tank change is pretty wtf. HSM change is the best. And reverting the infestor mistake from 1+year ago or so? :D | ||

Making it easier to get to mid-late game mech Still reading through the rest of the patch. I have just watched HotS, so my experience is very limited, but was that even an issue? You just have to scout it. While I hate allins, I generally don't like it when blizzard just goes "here you are safe now" and removes any real need to scout and adjust to your opponent. Don't get me wrong, I mean you will still have to have tech lab'd factory and a siege tank out, but it's still a step in that direction, a step which I as a terran don't feel was really warranted. | ||

They only 50/50 and can be produced from reactors now.They will provide a good solid scout, force a a player to keep a few units patrolling around the edge of their bases, and are still a threat to kill a few probes if the player doesn't respond. They might even see some use lategame now in small little packs. Interested to see how it works out in the end. Small packs for what purpose, exactly? They'll take three times longer to kill Zerglings, Marines, and workers now. Three times. The few units they could decimate before, they can't now. They can't hurt buildings. What can they do? When was the last time you heard someone say "I wish T had more map awareness." | ||
