this seems like it will make PvZ timing attacks really really hard to stop, as they are no weaker than before while hydras and roaches are heavily nerfed

not complaining about the patch, i just think this raises some PvZ issues

80 seconds is a bit long for the upgr, but still good. Bringing down the Roach armor is good too.

Initial reaction to the terran changes is positive. Seeing less marauder would make me a happy camper. Does the -5 second build time on tanks really change much though?


It means that in TvZ, tanks will come out in time for early 1 base roach push. This also means that in TvZ you can now probably safely 1 fact FE.

Oh, poor void rays..

Damage nerf, cost increase AND armor nerf? Mine died pretty easily as it was

Read again jesus christ, they increased the damage and made it more of a glass-cannon unit.

Big changes for TvP. I think marauders will still be viable, but now earlygame stalkers will be strong vs them because of greater speed, as well as zealots being very difficult to deal with. Factory openings will be standard now. I'm surprised they didn't nerf the immortal to compensate though.

Void ray change makes sense since they were too strong vs vikings.

Roach and hydra nerf were 100% needed. However, I don't see the roach nerf completely fixing roach spam in ZvmechT. Mech is stronger by a good bit, but roaches now are going to be a much stronger choice given the marauder nerf. I'm worried roach spam in ZvT will be too powerful now. The marine damage vs them only went from 4 to 5, whereas roaches now will actually be useful vs marauders earlygame. I'm very curious to see how this plays out, but I feel zerg is still too strong.

Void rays got some and lost some.

They cost more now, die easier and take longer to get to their highest level of dmg.

However they now do more base dmg and once they do get to the second level of dmg it does more than before. I think the increased dmg to the second level of dmg is mitigated due to the fact you lost the entire 3rd stage of dmg from the way they are now.

Overall I think it's a slight nerf to VR.

Boy I'm glad I don't use roaches often. That's going to be a pretty big change for zvz. But then again I'm loving the marauder change so I don't care in the least. I can't wait to get home and play this.

Yeah it does appear that they've now reverted the notes that appear on that page to patch 7. Oh well, I guess I got to the page during a lucky window

wtf no immortal changes? Every single PvZ will be an immortal push now, moreso than it used to be -.-

EDIT:
Wait, is the other changelog someone posted correct? If so, should change OP...
Bronze skipping straight to Diamond in 40 games retail release. Bnet 2.0 ladder really takes it's sweet time to think about that league placement.
