I just wish Blizzard would try removing the smart AI from tanks and buffing their damage somewhat. The thing that ruined the siege tank was the AI. Who has ever thought that researching Siege mode was a problem within the game? This will only cause more timing attacks.

I get the feeling that blizzard is kinda flailing around with out much of a guiding design philosophy. My one hope is that they flail harder and harder until eventually they actually resort to doing what the game needs and add some scalability to the economic system. I'm not optimistic, but crazier stuff has happened so who knows :D

It deals 1.6 less dps than a roach.

It also costs zero gas.

I don't think toss needs to worry about the faster 1 1 1 with siege because of the planetary nexus. Better range and good damage

Yeah people still reasonning from the WoL perspective. 1 1 1 was already dead, shut down by PF nexus. It wont change anything imo.

I thought we liked timing attacks? Do we dislike them now?

That's about right though. Similar supply, similar costs, similar tech.

Very different production mechanic though.

I really dislike this patch. As zerg player, it's really discouraging to see nothing has changed (except for a tooltip and another infestor nerf), considering how many problems zerg has in the beta (for example: swarm hosts as all-in unit only, lack of AA since infestor nerf, widow mines heavely shut down early agression and muta harass).

And for the other changes, I don't really know what to think. It doesn't look very well...

Blizzard again dumbing down the game... Soon we will have no upgrades in a game, and 1-1-1 all over again... Jesus they havent learned ANYTHING.

I dont know why. Early siege tank is both good for attack (timing push) and defense (fe). And reaper are harmless now. Back on WoL.

Btw, why are people being so negative about TvT all of a sudden. You guys realize that marines trade SO much better with Reapers now than they did a patch before (7.3 DPS from Reapers to 7 DPS from marines respectively). You're going to need
to micro so damn hard to overcome the defensive advantage of a player pumping out marines 33% faster than you are Reapers.

A group of Reapers is basically a squad of unstimmed marines moving at 3.75 speed now with their own personal medivacs. Will change a lot early game, not so useful lategame. It's nice that Reapers can look after themselves now though.

I like the Seeker Missile buff, not even gonna comment on anything else....
Or hell i can't stop myself.
Really blizzard, removing siege tech upgrade is your solution to try and fix mech? You really are clueless.
