only decreased by 25%....and where are you getting your stats?
25%? Math ftl mate.

How do you calculate area of a circle?

Area = pi * radius^2

and thus Prenerf:
pi * 2^2 = 12.7
Area Storm covers: 12.7

After nerf:
pi * 1.5^2 = 7
Area Storm covers: 7

Difference in percent:
1-(7/12.7) = 45%

Total area nerf to Storm: 45%, it is possibly the biggest nerf ever done in Starcraft history.

As for the race stats, they are from esportsfrance. Counting the top 100 rated people in EU.

Race	Wins	Losses	Win %	Last patch difference

Protoss 637 834 43.30% -13.52

Random 749 569 56.83% -3.23

Terran 1681 1118 60.06% 7.46

Zerg 800 721 52.60% -1.80




the win % will change once players learn to adapt to the adjustments.

I totally expected this patch.
Yes, buff Terran more and nerf Protoss so far that they can't play anymore /SARCASM.
Static defense buff is very nice. Looks like Protoss cannot punish Zerg for FE with new Spine Crawlers, they were buffed a lot.

Protoss could still timing push with 1-2 immortals to wreck a fast zerg FE relying on crawlers though I bet, or maybe Void Rays.

pretty much die....


lol yeah, zvp is as close as an impossible matchup there is and bad toss players are still whining

edit: they NEED to nerf force field to last a max of 5 secs, cap the energy at 50, remove the damage output of sentries, or the entire ability from the game. it's very close to a I WIN-button vs zerg, AND vs terran...

ure bad at this game.

Biggest nerf ever done in Starcraft history my ass. Don't you remember how much was EMP nerfed last patch? The radius went from 3 to 2. Feel free to calculate the percetage for yourself.

Storm has been a fundamental tool in every match up for Protoss for the past 11 years. EMP was situationally used against one race in some patches, there is quite a difference.

heh, have you seen the lastest tournament, like the korean playxp? protoss stalker/imm/sentry pushed their way to complete dominance against both zerg AND terran.. 3 tosses in the top 4, and the one terran that got into top 4 is probably the best terran ive seen playing this game. the protoss push requires next to no skill, as all their units inlcuding sentries micro themselves

Haha I was about to post that. I am not sure I agree or disagree yet with the Storm nerf but only one way to find out is to play games and see how it is. It might still be okay so I don't think we should complain yet until than.

The nerf to Storm isn't indicative of Protoss being weaker. It's more likely indicative of player's over reliance on a very, very powerful spell. Like EMP before, it required little micromanagement to be very effective. People, especially in this community, shouldn't be complaining about anything that makes the game require more skill to play. After all, this is an "easier game," isn't it?

organic carapace nerf is retarded. Who the hell burrows roaches 1 by 1 in a late game fight.


This is probably why Blizzard made this change; to promote more Micro for Zerg players late-game.

Blizzard is trying to make the Roach more micro-intensive and interesting to use, rather than just an a-move unit. Obviously, it's an experiment, and it may not work out at all in practice...but I'm interesting to see how it is used by good Zerg players. It has potential.


I'll shift click your roaches with my overseer, while you try to "micro" burrow. Let's see who wins.


Roaches do not deal any damage. They are meatshields. You do not micro meatshields.

wrong, roaches are totally needed to deal with zeal/templar heavy armies. Even vs collosus, they do pretty well.
Now that you can't hit and run zeals late game with regen, and storm is gonna actually do some damage, I think zeal/storm is gonna be really overpowered in this matchup.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)
