Terran gets buffed across the board On March 31 2010 04:41 eXigent. wrote: The storm nerf is not really that big, its radius decreases slightly. Toss gets a ~40% decrease in the power of one of its most vital abilities (for those of you who are mathematically challenged, 25% decrease in radius=43.75% decrease in area) 1.5^2=2.25 vs 2^2=4 in exchange, they get a 20% buff in cannon HP... Zerg gets a 25% nerf to the immediate cost of spores, a 25% damage buff to spines(vs non armored) AND a 27% attack rate increase. Roach and broodlord nerf are nice, but those only apply post-hive tech, which isnt really the problem. | ||

It was making Bio almost unbearable late game when Protoss have a decent number of templers and you can't get a nice EMP on them all. It's more a balancing thing, means that two templars on their own can't take out an entire army within like two storms each. so terran can't mix their army composition up with mech? i mean terran bio is very mobile. | ||

Wrong, blizz loved protoss so much that they made them so powerful that they now need to nerf them in order to make balanced "OMG STORMS HAVE A CHANCE TO NO LONGER BE OP, OMG  (((" | ||

Unless you're TLO, then you go MM -> Reapers -> Tanks -> Breaking the Stream -> BCs. *-* I rather would have seen reduced DPS, increased duration like the old storm. | ||

Thors and turrets now probably will rape mutalisk harass..but i didnt played yet, but it reads awful as a Z player. The roach upgrade is kinda not usable any more. I mean its tier 3 and soo weak now.. | ||

I expect these forums to be a bit more civil then screaming imba/uselessness at every change. hive upg for roach is actually useless now though  | ||

They might have just completely changed how PvT is played. If they wanted that they could have just made mech a little more useful. | ||

Blizzard have yet to make Protoss harder then Terran, all patches are doing is simply making the playing field more even. Same applies to Zerg. No race should just be dead easy in a matchup versus another. | ||
