... Oh please. Typical Zerg late game strategy: make mass hydras = automatic win Doesnt work for me. But im gold league only. I can imagine how this would work smoothly in platinum. lol. | ||

On the other hand, TvZ is still a concern for me. There still seems to be no answer to mass roach other than the marauder. Marines with medivacs do alright, but banelings/infestors are just as problematic as before. I really wanted to see the roach changed in a much much different way. Regardless, I think it's a step in the right direction. At the least ZvZ and TvP will possibly open up to more dynamic strategies. | ||

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. Actually the nerf of roaches might make Marauders be less important at least in this one matchup. Players might (ofc thats wide speculation now) rather save that gas for making tanks or thors. Also, having to spend so much ressources in TvP would at least cost u a marauder or a ghost and I think most fights there are kinda close anyways. Btw its not like they translated just hydra from BW and nerfed it. They also gave them like roflcopter damage and moved them to T2. Other than SCV, that just lost 15 hp. | ||

Yup, the hydra nerf is going to hurt, but honestly hydras are still one of the highest DPS units in the game for a bargain bin price. | ||

Terran now has Bio, Tech and Air, all extremely viable. Protoss has Robo, that's it. | ||

Most of the maps are imba as hell! And I think that the Yellow Minerals are also imba because toss cant expand that much so Terran and Zerg can profit from that way more than toss can. | ||

yeah, but it stays in phase 1 post patch for the same amount of time it took to reach phase 3 prepatch which is mathematically the same as having 2 identical phases before reaching phase 3 | ||

Marauder nerf is necessary, and for the good of Terran-funness more than anything else; though I've always thought that the Marauder needed a general hp/damage nerf more than it did the removal of the slow ability. And the buffs to Terran mech, while perhaps too slanted in the Thor's direction, are also good to see. Terran-mech-with-bio-backup is becoming more and more effective by the patch... | ||
