But the resulting games would likely be quite ugly with nothing but hellbat drops and mass mine harass. | ||

Honestly, if the Hydralisk really proves to be too weak they'll buff them. It's just a numbers thing that can be done in the release game. and in pro-games I do see that people don't run away from the voidray if they charge. They just stupidly stand there most of the time still thinking they can own it whilst they can't. It's also something that can be easily tweaked. Not really worried at all. I really like the changes to the widow mine personally. That was my biggest gripe with the nerf since it became so pointless almost versus protoss. Now it's threatening again. | ||

Regardless though it is awesome to see they are still working on TvP mech, this should (if i did the math right) be able to hold 1 base blink builds a lot easier now that a stalker will die to a widow mine. You see so much shit about why TvP mech can never work, immortals...skytoss...blah blah blah blah etc. But 1 base blink builds so fucking own mech its ridiculous, even if you don't kill the Terran you can just contain and expo like you didn't even go allin to begin with (with Terran having done a FE like reactor fact into CC or Tank expo or other various type of factory expand builds). | ||

I play random and feel that the game is getting pretty balanced. We as players just have to adapt. Ex. Oracle harass is too OP PvT...try dropping down an ebay and 1 turret at min line and attack/aggression. Oracle/stargate/msc is a lot of gas for 1 base. The buff to widow mine is not necessary...it pretty much makes it so that they 1 shot oracle...that's too easy def against such a specific tech choice. | ||

I see hydras is almost every game against skytoss and no one runs away from voidrays, even though they are slow as trash. Its hard to tell what is broken, since everyone seems to thing everything new is terrible. | ||

Wouldn't that mean giving-up the + armored damage bonus? It seems that it would open a much bigger can of worms. | ||

Blizzard loves their SC2 units a lot more than those old crappy brood war units. They'll continue to buff their new units and refuse to touch the old ones. This is why we'll never see any old BW unit return to SC2 in hots or lotv | ||

If they are willing to give widow mines +shield damage, they should just give it to siege tanks. What the hell | ||
