Roach armor nerf means that zerglings will now be the main opening in ZvZ, no?
The hydra nerf also makes me believe they're trying to bring back ling/muta in to zvz, nice imo.

I want this.... badly.

wouldve liked to see a a 25 gas/1 supply decrease on the tanks.

the 5 sec build time reduce wont be nearly enough :/

rest looks good.

still waiting for a major zerg change tho.

nerfing roaches is good but not without giving em more options. cause we all now Zerg can only mass roach/hydra atm.

also still waiting for a immortal change. nerf of roaches and maruaders is good, but not when the 3rd one in that triangle of OP is unchanged.

Yeah... definitely the right time to switch to mech TvZ.

I'm not surprised at all by the roach change, but the mech change and hydralisk change make me rage.

Hydralisks already get MELTED by any type of mech terran throws at them, and now hydras get nerfed and mech buffed?

At least we still have mutas.

Why are people saying void ray was nerfed? It was buffed.

The Void Ray changes were a buff, not a nerf.

I think the changes are mostly positive, but I'm confused as to why the Immortal wasn't patched at all, considering all the good arguments for patching Marauders/Roaches were based on the fact that the three units together forced the game into a certain direction. Mech's probably helped more for TvZ/TvT, but it still doesn't fix the fact there's nothing at Factory level that deals well with Immortals.

If you can't see the changes on the URL I linked, clear your browser cache and refresh the page. I was able to get it quickly by using Opera with "always check for changes" turned on

Interesting patch. As I predicted, they made the Marauder's shell a researchable upgrade, which is a great move.

Lol, Void Ray changes? Really quite funny, but I personally don't care for them since they're extremely situational and you tend to see them used too much by noobs in 2v2 anyway.

Protoss definitely got the better end of the patch. PvT looks to be more even now without Marauders dominating the early game (though you still need to worry about fast tech lab Reapers) and I don't forsee the Thor and Siege tank changes to play much of a role in the MU. PvZ is gotten easier obviously because of both the Roach and Hydra nerf!!!!

Great patch, IMO.

Holy shit, Concussive rounds take 80 seconds!

Best think about patch is roach armor going from 2 to 1. Now marines, zealots, and lings all favor much much better against them.
