Zerg nerf was needed badly.

Spam roach + Hydra + Attack Move = automatic win

Good to see they made things more balanced for all races in patch 8.


Against who??

Most toss players I play against use forcefield amazingly and they had no problems.

Roach hydra was certainly a bit too much for the effort you actually had to put in to it, A move only and unless the protoss does actually micro his units he is going to lose.

in all honesty, jinro had the best tvz on the entire EU server with a strategy centered around thors. The only somewhat viable counter was a shitton of roaches. Now with Thor build time decreased and roaches substantially nerfed, plus the prior patch which made thor annihilate air I cant see anyone beating that strat.

Zerglings?

GG, I'm done with Zerg, gonna try Terran now I think.

WOW! More Z's quitting because they can't spam Hydra/Roach anymore and 1a to victory -_- I'm not complaining.

dude I played over 50 games with jinro. I said centered around thors. He doesnt just build thors only like a moron. Ofc he mixes in a shitload of upgraded hellions if u go substantial amounts of lings. Trust me we have tried all units of Z in our games, its not like there are sooo many options for z.

Laaaaaaaaame -.-

Gonna have serious gas issues now =[

EDIT: To clarify, I think to afford stim+concussive shells you might almost need to do a 2 gas build.

I think so too and it makes me f***ing angry, it's not like they wont get enough money out of sc2 being a trilogy anyways

They should just cancel Heart of the Swarm and release an expansion wherein it only adds the Lurker for Ladder-play instead.

I think it's fun, because it allows them to really have a good handle on the metagame before inserting new units. They already have enough on their plate.

Yeah - no clue. I think it just forces Terran to go double gas a lot quicker now. Not really seeing the 100 minerals or 80 seconds as being a huge issue. I don't see how this is not a must-have tech-buy though.

That hundo gas vs toss is killer, gotta wait much longer for that 2nd ghost. What's stim' s research time? Isnt it 110 seconds?

I mean I guess it's okay, each barrack unit had an upgrade, sides the Rauder....

Are the build time decreases really going to make mech viable?

Well, I think Terran and Zerg got hit harder than Protoss in this patch.

Meh, I'm zerg and I play a lot of bane/zerg-ling. Doesn't affect me too much.

Though I'm not sure why the speed nerf to burrowed roaches.

I do like the General changes though. One bullet is "Korea", the other is "Added support to display the game rating information on the login screen."
"But on a more serious note..." -everyone on this forum at some point.

So do you think the nerf was uncalled for and is actually lame? Come on.

I'm reserving serious judgement until I get to play the new patch, but it's not like it was easy holding off 4 warp-gate pushes already.

Will see how this affects this, as the key to doing so has mostly been marines and bunkers for me, anyway... (meaning it might not be that severe)
