unbelievable. why does he like to "phase stuff out" instead of fix them? like snipe/mothership/fungal, have receieved a TON of great suggestions from the community and nothing is tested out at all. i'll never understand the logic of making a unit "phased out of play" to discourage players from using them. every unit should be useful. dayvie logic = "well if the unit is a problem, we'll just phase it out so that nobody uses it...then it's not a problem anymore. problem solved" unbelievable. i don't like the approach he's taking to balancing things that are "too good". at least in brood war, every unit was useful in some way. useless units mean less damn strategy. this game needs MORE strategy not less. unbelievable. | ||

I think a 4 BFH drop is more devastating considering you can't run your workers away, so I wouldn't be so quick to patch it. | ||

This is one of the worst patches ever does not address any problems namely sky toss. Just pointing out... When they asked for opinions on the changes, very few people actually said "Don't do these changes"... Most people said things like "Spores wont be enough Hydras should be buffed too" or "Hellbats need to be nerfed"... But of the people who actually responded to the proposed changes weren't saying "No, don't do them". That's what happens when people bring their own complaints in, instead of responding to what was proposed. | ||

I really hope they would buff hydras though. Maybe a small health increase. It'll help things in all match-ups[/QUOTE] you could get the danger of "i go only hyds" zergs | ||

The tank is (should be) the core, and not the Widow Mine. 1) The tank has no separate single target attack and having + shields splash steps on EMP. 2) the whole point of the immortal having hardened shield is to give a mid game robo option against tanks, so giving + shield damage to tanks would completely defeat the purpose of hardened shield in the first place. 3) It gives the mech options some cyclical nature to them, archons are good against hellbats because of the bio tag, mines are good against archons because of their shield damage, stalkers are good against widow mines because of their range and tanks are good against stalkers because of their range + armored damage. People love tanks, but making them god-mode isn't necessarily the way to go about it. | ||

-Widow mine buff vs Protoss seems reasonable. - Ovie speed, hmm I don't know about this, but this give zergs more map vision when they already superior to it ( Overlords, Overseers, Speedlings, and Creep.) -_- Generally good patch for me. But I'm still waiting for a change(nerf) on Swarm Hosts. : And also lol @ ppl saying TvP mech does not work. It does. also Bio-Mech.It's not as solid as Bio but still viable. | ||

It needs some changes. well in wol protoss has zero answers to mass broordlord infestor, strangely the zergs was fine with it ... as for me in mid-high masters, the zergs can deal pretty fine with my skytoss i have to say (only not if they ignore making no infestors) so as protoss i would say "swarm host too good protoss no answer need change" but NO i still need more TIME to figure out how to deal with it, i think thats the difference in p and z, z cry, p try  | ||

Giving tanks bonus damage to shields is a great idea. If not that, maybe tank damage could be increased slightly. Tanks aren't currently strong enough to make mech an alternative to bio in tvp imo. I'm not sure how strong mech will be in the other two matchups once the HotS metagame is more developed. | ||

If a terran 1 rax FEs there is no good response to a void ray all in or blink stalker all in. The terran pretty much out right dies. if a protoss goes 1gate expand with an 1base terran all in with marine scv etc, he dies since ages .... perhaps you guys have to scout more and if you cant just stop making Rax CC rax rax CC gas gas ... thats so fucking greedy and is fine to not work anymore !

[/QUOTE] well then i still wonder why you have problems ... when i go skytoss the zergs know how to deal with it, look gm more and more zergs in top, try mass queen mass swarmhost openings, then air sucks as hell xD there are alot of ways zerg can deal with it ofc not let p have 5 bases and ignore they mass up, its same like p wasnt allowed to do it in wol because even if p had 10k 10k if zerg was maxed on broodlord infestor only there was no way to win anymore whatever the minerals says, so now zerg have to play more intelligent not just bunker and wait until tomorrow, but still the mass swarmhost mass queen in mass corrupter seems to fuck it like hell | ||
