the only way they should fix the force field is to put in 75 energy instead of 50 to put them a little bit later in the early game without put off the possibility to defend an early push and not let 1 sentry make 4 force field


Sounds good.

I personally think they should just release the world editor.

Perhaps you don't understand the full nature of this Void Ray "nerf."

Before, a Queen could kill a single VR one on one. This is no longer the case. The VR does much more damage to Queens in the lower stages. Once the Queen dies, the VR will be fully charged, and can immediately target the Hatch at maximum power.

So Zerg players are going to have to get Spore Crawlers if they even smell VRs coming from the Protoss.

And actually it's ridiculously easy for Z to deal with Voidrays - just build additional queens.


While a Hatchery is producing a Queen, it cannot also be making a Lair/Hive. So building a Queen delays your tech massively.

Imo, the marauder change doesnt add anything. Sure they dont have slow... but you can still get slow and tons of marauders.. nothing prevents you from doing that.

Im totally not happy with the changes to hydra and roaches. The roach is just due to too much whine and the hydra is insane as theyre already fragile, the already have a slower attackspeed and it isnt like T or P doesnt have a single answer for them. Why nerf Z's midgame? Trying to force us to get early hive for BL? Or want us to try muta spam or infestors that are mediocre?


Void Ray, I dont really care, dont see why the nerf...

Yeah I always for some odd reason try getting up 1 spore early on for DT/VR harass.

Yeah your right; at the same time you have to make a risk as well. Get the upgrade for marauders or get stim. Because facing a group of speedlings while getting a moved by hydra's aren't so great for marauders. Just an example.

It just stops terran from doing those early rauder builds early game.

why not just go sentry/zealot? They destroy both mutas, hydras, roaches, zealots, banelings, just about every single zerg unit.

LOL I think Zerg can just counter-attack somewhere else to avoid the artificial chokes ruining everything.

They can decrease the build time of mech all they want but honestly unless they can lower the gas cost, and maybe the food cost, it's still underpowered.

say it with me, people: THE VOID RAY WAS NOT NERFED

It gained significantly more initial (stage 1+2) dmg, especially against non-armoured units, and does more average damage over time to all units.

It was also made slightly more expensive, mineral-wise, and takes a bit more dmg.

Just because there are some relatively small negative changes to a unit does not mean it was nerfed.

GO GO incontrol! I love it when the inferior zerg become traitors and turn to the great and powerful protoss for great power and then fight against their own brethren! You gotta love the NEW Incontrol!

Zerg aren't dead now. People need to stop overreacting. Zerg air is still badass and this will just give lings (which are amazing in sc2 if you haven't noticed) more face time.

I agree but still it's more viable now. pretty sure in the next patch we will see some gas decrease on the tank

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.

how does -1 armor for roach matter vs thor? it helps the hellions a tiny bit vs roaches but theyre still not that good vs just tons of roaches. marauders previously did 18 damage to roaches and now do 19, not the biggest deal.

mass roach into broodlords still seems very very strong vs metal / bio/metal play

its not the -1 to armor which is the big thing against thors, but the 15 second decrease on thor build time.

And the sentry thing...come on...really? Protoss is supposed to hold off early aggression how exactly, without force field?

kidding.... I betrayed Terran for Zerg in my case. I kept calling down MULEs instead of scanning periodically
