haha, agreed - Z is by far the easiest race to play and it will still be very good even after the nerfs to roach and hydra, two clearly overpowered Units and ppl are bitchin' like hell. ^^'
...


You dont play Z do you ?

Clearly overpowered ? Hydras ? No you dont play Z..

-1 armor to roaches was expected and correct. Hydra nerf is just ridiculous..

Protoss got a buff this patch if Terran and Zerg are nerfed. I don't consider the void ray changes a definitive buff or nerf.

Yup, Hydralisks that cost 100/50, need Lair tech, have 80HP and 12 damage are so worth it now...

It's like they kept the Hydralisk from SC:BW and nerfed it completely.

This wasnt really a nerf...at least not compared to the real nerfs in this patch. It at least has added beneficial effects to the void ray. And 50 minerals is hardly an increase at all

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

oh hi fa! just throw in some rines with the excess minerals, so u gonna get to 200 even faster! I guess with this patch u have a hand free to sip coffee or eat pizza while playing zvt

Overall I like the patch

ZvZ lings will be much better vs roaches allows for some variance instead of roach spam every game

ZvT able to throw more marines into the composition as they won't be as worthless vs Roaches

TvT Reaper rush just got a lot stronger since marauder won't be able to slow it in time

PvZ Zealots won't be completely helpless vs roaches every game

I think that protoss players have been hit with the nerf bat so much that they can't see a buff for what it is. They're like chronically abused spouses who can no longer discern an act of kindness from the back of a hand....

void rays:

damage per attack during each phase (post patch essentially has identitical initial and middle phases)

prepatch/nonarmored: 2,4,8
prepatch/armored: 6,12,24
postpatch/nonarmored: 5,5,10
postpatch/armored: 5,5,25

x2 attacks per second for dps:

prepatch/nonarmored: 4,8,16
prepatch/armored: 12,24,48
postpatch/nonarmored: 10,10,20
postpatch/armored: 10,10,50

x3 seconds in each phase before charging up fully

prepatch/nonarmored: 12+24=36
prepatch/armored: 36+72=108
postpatch/nonarmored: 30+30=60
postpatch/armored: 30+30=60

I hope they get around the addressing the Ultralisk issue now that it looks like Thor is more viable - each race needs a huge unit so Zerg doesn't feel inadequate.

I'm worried marauders will still dominate middle and late game. The upgrade will be researched and they'll still own....

I think zerg in particular will have problems against terran, with the hydra nerf especially. MMM will be difficult to stop.

They need to buff ultras and bring back lurkers.

Protoss stargate tech is now going to be even less accessible with increased cost, and nerfs on void rays, as if someone uses it now anyway (other than cheesy tactics)

Ugh is right lmfao...You guys are overestimating the effect of the nerf, and definitely took hydralisks power in the midgame for granted.
