Oh god, Envision has the potential to be so overpowered if used correctly.

Edit: Nvm, thought this was Revelation, and apparently that already has a 60 second duration. In my mind I was thinking double what it current lasts... holy crap.

I have never heard so many QQers in my life on balance. You guys are not even looking at this stuff logically. Then you wonder why Blizzard does not listen to your ridiculous suggestions.


Lol this exactly. its a called a freckin beta for a reason, not that I think 90% of the stuff that people are whining about is even justified

I think 15 range is just way too much especially on an air unit. You should never be able to take free shots at your opponents army.


yea it probably should be like a siege tank where it has to remain stationary until its ability is toggled otherwise it has a normal range.

Hellbat alone isn't really the problem because it's slow and short ranged, it's more the medivac boost ability that drops hellbats right where it hurts. The speed medivac should be an upgrade, or the hellbat form could maybe be researchable. Either way, hellbats should not be able to hit that early.

Oracle (damage) and tempest (damage vs air massive and/or supply) need a fix as well.

Because clearly everything will be OP and no one will ever patch ever. Please calm down. The strategies they're playing with are not even well-defined yet. The metagame will take months to develop, and we'll doubtless see a few more balance patches between release and year's end. Just give it some time. The more effort you put into claiming brokenness, the less effort you're putting into actually trying to deal with the realities of the game and find viable strategies.

This isn't really what I was hoping for, but I hardly think it's going to be the doom of HotS. So many whiny drama queens in this thread >_>

All I can hear is 'waaaaaaah OP OP NERF'

You do realize it's all of your fault that WoL ended up a no rush 10min 200/200 game right? Nerf this nerf that...sooner or later NOTHING is good at anything anymore.

For fucks sake, just play the game and give criticism, not incessant bitching and complaining. The criticism doesn't even have to be constructive, my god.

If I was blizzard I'd completely 'ignore' you too.

After the widow mine nerf, you need 3 mines to kill an immortal, instead of 2 before the widow mine nerf.

After this patch, you still need 3 mines to kill an immortal, not 2.

The widow mine buff is not as good as many would think.

The same logic applies to all protoss units that 1 mine can't 1-shot. The reason is that after the first mine taking out the shield, the life that left on a protoss will only take 125 damage instead of 125+35 damage. So, immortal, colossus, tempest, carrier will not be affected too much by this patch.

Skytoss has been good for like a month or so. That's no where near long enough to find out if it's actually balanced or people just don't know how to deal with it.

The last thing I want them to do is nerf carriers now and they become useless again, same goes for the voidray.


Sky toss is too good if it gets to late game zerg has zero answers to it. It needs some changes.

how do you know after 1month... i hate how blind people are. Instead of testing something new and trying some timings before the ball gets to heavy people just flame-.- that will never help anyone Protoss player complained about Zerg for the last 8months in WoL and zerg players said it isnt op, so pls try something new see an opening and eventually counter it right now its just stupid to complain about it. Im not a fan of a deathball because its stupid and requires nearly no skill but like in WoL im pretty sure the deathball will dissappear in the near future because people learn new builds and ways to deal with it so it wont be that effective anymore.
Stalker now gets onehitted by widow mines again so i think thats a good buff for terran for some more space control in the mid-late but im not sure what to think about the spore buff because it wont really help in the later stages when the muta count is higher then 20 and infestor fungals will never hit a muta again if the player is cautious.

So basically now 1 widow mine counters/ 1 shots all Protoss early game units 1v1, ouch...it's become the anti-Protoss unit! I don't quite understand how that unit has become basically a baneling on steroids. Buffed dmg, hits air and ground, re-usable, free burrow and cheap...I fail to see the drawback? I feel as if the better iteration of it was when it was sacrificed upon attack, especially now that it's gotten a damage buff.

Terran don't need more early/mid-game strength vs Protoss with this unit. They're tier1 is GG as is vs Protoss, it's hard on the toss at those stages of the game as is. Everyone will agree that the strength of Terran tier1 is evident by the fact that they can work with those units ALL game.

All in all bot sure why Terran need more anti-toss strength in the early/mid game.

This is not so much about the changes they brought in but they changes they didn't bring in. Zerg anti air is bad, hellbats and widow mines are too good, sky toss is too good. And then what they do is give us t1 faster overlords for a problem that isn't even there. Its frustrating how we have been complaining about all of this stuff for a long time and yet they seem to just not listen no matter how many players tell them they are doing it wrong.

Late game TvP is so imbalanced that is the phase they should work on give T some kind of help....

If it took 2 mines per buff to kill how does it take 3 now?

And losing tier 1 units asap by a widow mine is crazy. It was good before and really bolstered terrain attacks and defences already as it was.

After the first mine takes out the shield of immortal, the second mine will only damage immortal for 125 damage, not 160. So you can't 2 shot immortal. You need 3.

This is a very tricking change.

Jesus Christmas...the only thing I see on this thread is a bunch of cry babies...Instead of whining how about ya'll go practice and come up with some cool new creative ways to deal with these so called "imbalances" this game isn't THAT broken to the point its unplayable...and if its such a hassle stop playing the beta and wait for the release and some patches yah n00bs! It's called BETA for a reason!!

-The projectile speed for Fungal Growth has been reduced from 15 to 12?????,but that is what is happening, that blizzard is not realizing that they are leaving the useless infestor? that bad idea, underside of nerfiarlo therefore should delete it and put a new drive.

So because Infestor/BL is too good in WoL Skytoss is justified as being just as inbalanced..? Also many Zergs came to terms with IF/BL being to good...
