Wow. That mothership nerf might actually be too much? And I play terran. I feel sorry for toss users tho, PvZ is already hard and now chrono boost gets nerfed after your gates got nerfed? Fun fun.

I'm still not gonna open fucking banshee TvP. Fuck banshees. Real men slug it out on the ground TvP - no wimpy carriers or starport openings.

Awesome terran patch?

what are they thinking hehe?

They just trashed the mothership as well. Interesting. fast cloak banshee is an interesting mechanic as well. I'm quite excited about all this

Chrono boost was dumb, you couldn't even compete in a macro war as terran, it's bad enough zerg and protoss both get to saturate their expos in half the time as terran. Now all they gotta do is raise the cost of roachs and find a way to nerf larva and I won't want to stab myself everytime I lose to an unrelenting wall of hitpoints just holding off until zergs expo wins.

Ouch mothership gets raped. As does CB. I hope they eventually drop the mothership entirely and boost other protoss air units (mainly the phoenix). It's nice to see a bit of a nerf to reapers as well in addition to general terran buffs.

Yeah - you know, the mothership nerfs don't really bother me, but I don't really think it was necessary to increase gate build time and nerf chrono? Especially for PvZ.

To hell with Terran, i'm going on a 50+ zerg winstreak and not looking back!

Edit: If Blizz nerfed Chrono Boost, revert Gateway buildtime omg.. Q_Q

yeah, chrono boost nerf seems pretty drastic.

Reaper build time increase? That makes it a lot harder to pull off fast reapers, which is what I've been trying to work on. This in all delays my current build by over half a minute.

Barracks build time decrease though... although I don't have all day to play SC2 and test out all my thoughts, I was thinking about how to pull off a very early 2 rax / 2 techlab to do fast reapers. Since this lets me get the orbital command quicker and I could get up the 2nd rax quicker... this might be viable.

Could then lift the 2nd rax, make a reactor, and build a factory on the orphaned techlab to get tanks... just thinking aloud here, don't mind me...

They made the mothership weaker, but the last two entries seem to indicate that it is faster. Not sure how much speed the numbers translate to, but maybe recall is more viable now?

Edit: Ah, apparently not. =/

As a terran player, I hugely approve of this patch. That said, I don't really understand the point in nerfing the mothership so heavily, and chrono boost too for that matter. And they still haven't really done anything about their lack of anti-air issue.

Two patches in two days is quite awesome coming from blizzard, though.

How is it the general consensus that zerg were the most powerful? Especially when most of the top players happen to play protoss..

Zerg is probably the consensus most powerful race now though ;p

Terran buffs were needed but the rest of the patch is just silly, but at least it gives me time to start trying out the other races.

shorter build times for rax and addons end up making the first reaper pop at the same time but subsequent reapers are slower. sounds like a good fix. reactor addon definitely needed shortening many times it's not worth it to cut rax production to get the addon with mules you get enough minerals to add raxes anyway. now those extra minerals can be put towards more marines :D

Mothership I don't really care about, but that chrono boost nerf? That seems wayyy to drastic.

I know Ps have been dominating and Ts have not. I am very curious to see how this patch changes the leader boards.
