looks like thors are a good counter to Mutas now. Splash o.o Zerg looks really able to expand better now with static d. Organic bonus being nerf seems huge. Looks like end game roaches aren't nearly as good anymore

The spine crawler has been buffed big time.
And why is the high templar being nerfed?

Wow- a static defense buff right after Drone's article. It's like Blizzard reads feedback or something!

Fuckin psyched.

wow- really not liking this trend. They keep nerfing casters! First ghosts now HTs, whats next? Infestor HP reduced again?

They nerf roaches... again... but idk why...

Im ok with static D buffs, they needed it.

Thor change is LAME! it will make them better vs mutalisks but worse vs other air units. I dont like it.

Storm Nerf won't fix lategame TvP though :X

Everything else seems to make sense. Thors with splash damage now but they should make Organic Carapace cheaper

I agree. The regen above ground was the only reason the organic carapace upgrade was worth it imho... Now it doesn't seem nearly as useful.

the high templar one was understandable... Sure, terran has emp, but when protoss gets a decent sized army with a couple of templars they can just demolish just about anything within a couple of seconds.

I don't know if orb is streaming or not right now, but I can just hear the rage echoing over the psi storm nerf.

+ Organic Carapace no longer grants bonus regeneration to unburrowed roaches.

Without decreasing the cost? Seems like it becomes like blink but without the real virtues.

I really like the static defense buffs, seems going spine crawlers might be much better for defense against roach when it is ZvZ.

That was like the only good counter Z had to a high templar army from what I've seen -_-''.

I dont like how they are trying to streamline everything. At the start roach regen was something special now its just a gimmick. Templars was already nerfed from BW to SC2 and now theyre slowly removing the impact they have on the game.

I like this bonus damage removal... Getting rid of hard counters, one unit at a time.
