No need to switch to SC2 now that SC2BW is complete and has weekly tournaments with 100$ proize pool (starting next week i think with a one time 200$ prize)
just in time

they are making much smaller changes now, i think hots needs a couple more big patches


Most probably afraid of doing such drastic changes when HOTS is so close to release.

If they were to do a big patch, I would love for them to add in Scourge for zerg to deal with all these new air units


They should adopt their former philosophy of releasing a game when the game is done. I highly doubt that they'll be happy to see HotS turn out as Diable 3 did.

Think a better change would be the ability to morph an overseer at tier 1. Not as big of an investment so early in the game and changelings / contaminate might make for an intersting early game tool to prevent timings.

In head on fights Zerg craps on anything Terran that isn't bio because of Vipers. And then Zerg tier 3 craps on bio anyways.

What zerg is going to go ovie speed at hatch tech. Spend the gas on the lair, it will be more useful.

This is incorrect. Bio can actually fight really well vs zerg armies, especially with widow mine support or battle hellion support. Vipers aren't that great vs bio, they are great vs tanks though obviously.

Also the counter to ultras are the same as in WoL (hint marauders) and vs bl/corr/infestor ravens are sick good verse that :D

The overlord speed at hatch tech seems really useless. There is NO situation that overlord speed would be better than Ling speed, lair, or burrow. You can just sac an overlord to get most information anyways, and going to Lair lets you morph overseers. I'm really confused by this... nobody is ever going to do this.

I feel like in the ZvZs that I've played (not that many, since I play random), I haven't really run into the Muta vs Muta thing. It seems like I can do the same normal stuff (infestor/roach/hydra) and be successful against mass mutas. Fungals are "harder" to land but not impossible, like most people seem to think. If you hit 4-6 mutas with a Fungal, that's really all you need. Fungal seems fast enough to hit mutas... you just have to lead the target.

Am I completely wrong here? Is higher-level ZvZ really that much harder to land fungals?

I still feel like there's more too be done before its ready like I want a nerd to storm DMG. Spore change won't matter if you have like 30 mutas. Maybe early on it matters but I think they assume you will go hydra and infestor vs a mass Muta.

Also, I thought every race was supposed to have totally broken stuff? So then we can all use our totally broken stuff to win games and be pumped about it.

I would rather people be finding broken stuff in beta that we learn to deal with over time. Remember when we all though marauders were broken? Those days were the good old days.

People, don't worry, when D3 first came out I was really excited, but then I realised that the game had very little replayability, but now I am playing it again as well as more than dozens of people

Hots is on the right tracks.

I think a drastic change to corruptors (a pretty big buff) so that they trade on part with void rays is needed. It would solve the sky terran problem aswell. Obviously not a too huge buff that would slaughter air play, just a pretty big one so that you can have an answer.

I went back as well and its pretty good at this point. Blizzard is best over time, as they refine their games. After all, the D2 we love came after the expansion. Blizzard always builds on a foundation. SC prime was pretty busted when it came out, also.
