The fact can be placed at many different places, for instance somewhere hidden by the 3rd (at edge) or between 3rd and high yield. This just gives a basic idea and as was said, this can defeat Platinum players! The rush comes even faster now with the faster build time of the Thor. And yet you don't see the huge window to kill the Terran in that VOD? Again, the window to kill the Terran in that VOD is quite large with proper scouting. | ||

So the extra damage previously done by level 2 will be in level 1 now. They're buffed in a way that they now do more damage to unarmored units. They're nerfed in a way that they deal less damage to armored units. They're nerfed in a way that they cost more now. I don't see the need to stuff all that into a single nerf/buff box. except for the part where they do more damage to armored unit at full blast or 5 seconds after cold start. | ||

It may be a huge window but, how do u scout a terran if the terran walled-off properly and can easily stop ur scouting probe as it can't see anything except some depots, some marines and a barracks? Please tell me how. | ||

As a zerg player though, I am kind of happy with the changes as a whole, however: I wish they would have lowered roach damage instead of reducing their armor, now zerg really doesnt have any units as a "tank" role (which sucks even more cause hydras lost hp). All in all though, good patch. Just change to PP and have 1 of u do mass sentry and the other mass zealot! | ||

You really can't compare Thor-Rushes with the Marauder-rushes, because on Maps like Steppes of War, the Marauder was in your base and could actually snipe the pylon powering your Gateways before you even had a single stalker out on the Map! It literally was almost undefeatable against Protoss. The Thor-rush we saw in this VoD was also before the SCV-nerf I think (not sure though), so that could be a deciding factor. Also, if Protoss starts playing aggressive and scouts right (which is now possible because your Stalkers/Zealots don't get pinned down and killed by Marauders now!!!!! NIIIICE!!! ^^'), it's hard to pull of stuff like that. | ||

They're ZERG for pete's sake. sadly doesnt work with the sc2 gameflow anymore. vs T the lurkers are missing and since P has the collosus that deals half a psistorm per shot hydras and lings get totally SUPER raped with a simple aclick. (not to mention forcefield totally destroying lings,ultras and any bigger hydra force) | ||

2/4/8 vs light 6/12/24 vs armored to: 5/5/10 vs light 5/5/25 vs armored It is strictly an upgrade versus light, and once fully charged it is also a strict upgrade. The only difference is that partially charged voidrays will be very weak against armored, which means that voids will no longer be able to eat Stalkers for breakfast so easily. The 50 mineral increase is not very significant, since its the 150 gas that really matters. | ||
