This one speaks for itself with all the SCV rush variants that were overpowered

Cloaking and detection are more expensive in SC2 than SC1, yet observer price remained the same and it doesn't require an observatory. Good change.

DTs are not viable PvT at high levels except for the occasional surprise; you need all of your gas for units that effectively counter bio which DTs do not. PvZ I see no reason to make these more expensive and take longer. Horrible change.

Doesn't make this banelings more powerful vs terran where they are already extremely powerful? I guess it might make them come out a bit more often in ZvP but zerg seems to already have enough good options in ZvP. Hmmm...
|
Baneling buff is just so confusing
|
Why make tech lab cheaper? And why make Fac cheaper allowing EVEN FASTER tech to banshees? T is now clearly the strongest race in the game, and ZvT is gonna fucking suck even more now.
And no, the Baneling buff won't really cut it. 
|
The server has been down for a long time now - maybe they'll do the reset too.
|
why make obs more expensive...-_-;
and which terran unit has detection ability? ??
|
the Stalker buff nullifies the silliness of patch 6..this may actually change the game a lot now (dt/scv relationships, marines/collosus, new stalker support vs hydras/roaches, zerg burrow/obs, terran scan vs delicate obs, etc)
*excited
|
I am confused by the buff to the factory but not the metal units ie the tank :\
|
How can blizzard POSSIBLY justify the DT nerf?
DT, Carrier, Mothership are the least used units in the game - lets make them fucking more useless. Great going.
|
So how long does it typically take before the servers are back up?
|
finally I can see some DT's raping the whole Terran-Eco ^_^
|
Early pushes with either fact-reactors or rax-react to punish greedy zergs will probably be alot less viable now. Given the build time is twice as long. Can't wait to see how the patch plays anyway.. especially with the new color changes to units on creep.
|
I have no problem with the increased marine build time, 5 seconds on the faster game speed isn't that big of a difference (it really comes out to like 2-3 seconds more - big deal). However, DOUBLING the reactor's build time.. seriously!? And reducing SCV HP by 25%!? Drone/probe harass is going to be such a nuisance now.
|
The only thing that balanced the otherwise ridiculously imbalanced TvP was nerfed to hell and back. No marine pressure, no slowing down the protoss' tech... This along with the baneling buff, expect to see terran win rates in the 30%'s...

How could you possibly imply that zvt is actually t favoured?
this patch has some good points, but overall it looks like noone in charge of balancing plays toss
its a good thing I was planning to switch to terran this week anyway

I just hope they do a good enough job of fixing the problem. This is/was one of the main problems with the beta from an observer standpoint.

1. SCVs should have at least 50 health.
2. Why do roaches STILL have two fucking armor??
3. Thank you for making stalkers less suck.
4. Thank you for decreasing the gas cost of vikings.
5. DOUBLE reactor construction time?? ??? ????
|
you should put more question marks behind your questions to make your point more obvious imo.
2. Because blizzard thinks they are fine that way and nerfed something else about them instead wich they found to be in need of a nerf
|
Great patch for terrans I would say. The scv nerf is understandable but at the same time with all the other buffs there has to be some nerfs.
|
Everyone say it together:
This is beta. Blizzard is going to try things out and change things up on me. I will not take patch notes personally. I want the most competitive balanced game possible, and every attempt at change is getting us closer to that point, even if it's 2 steps forward in some spots and 1 step backwards in others.
I'm interested to see if it becomes more sensible to build additional Barracks over Reactors now. You save some gas and don't interrupt 2 Marines worth of build time from the first Barracks.

hey sorry kinda off topic but with the new patch coming, how many of u think the ladder reset will happen after battle.net comes back online?
