void rays are nerfed when you're talking about transient combat if it's the same amount of time to reach FULLY charged.
If it took say 2 minutes to reach fully charged, previously you would have 1 minute of attack at low strength and then another minute of attack at medium strength before reaching fully charged. Now it's an entire 2 minutes of attack at low strength.
Once void rays reached fully charged, yes, then the new void rays are better... ish, it's slightly more dps at fully charged for 1 less armor and 50 more minerals.
It's "low" attack strength is now 150% stronger.

It could be that they wanted to change the formatting from plain text to HTML. I didn't catch the patch notes so I didn't know this. I was thinking of a logical reason of why they would accidentally upload the notes. I thought that it's like they accidentally clicked the "Post" button instead of the "Preview".

when is the muta nerf... pvz is still fukking broken...
PvZ will probably be broken in favour of P because the strength of the immortal hasnt been changed, so P will be able to make a nigh unstoppable timing attack allin early on.
People are making a way bigger deal of the hydra 10 hp nerf then they should though, its fucking ridiculous. OH MY GOD HYDRAS 10 HP LESS welp thats gamebreaking time to stop playing the race that was unrefutedly broken before the patch ;/ :C QQ

Q. Do you agree that the Zerg currently suffers from a lack of diverse army composition, and if so what are your plans to fix it?
A. Yes, we are looking at the Zerg diversity issue. We are working to make the Infestor a more core part of more match-ups. We will continue to moniter the use of Banelings, Roaches, Hydras, Zerglings, Mutalisks and Corruptors to make sure the Zerg army remains diverse in each match-up.
You know it's coming...
then stop fucking around with the useless abilities (infested terran) and fucking up the useful abilities (neural parasite range).
Should be required for blizz balance team to watch high level tourneys

Oh and... let's see them make force field an upgrade now :|

lulz time to get some more ladder games in before zerg gets their head smashed like a pumpkin in every game.

You know what happens when an useless ability is made better?
It might get used .. and being versatile is a good thing.

(based off http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Void_Ray)-The VR currently deals 2,4,8 & 4,8,16 against non-armored and armored foes. -Since it takes the VR 3 seconds to fully power up and hits twice a second (again, according to liquipedia), it hence deals 4,8,16 & 12,24,48 damage per second. -With the supposed nerf, the VR would deal 10,10,20 & 20,20,55 damage per second. That's 28 & 84 total damage after 3 seconds compared to 40 & 95. The VR gets buffed. Or maybe I suck at math. You tell me.

50 MINERALS DOESNT BREAK THE FUCKING BANK
it's not even a fuckign gas change. Increase gas by 50, THEN theyre more expensive.

Glad everyone's already started to scream their race will be shit now before anyone has even played on the patch.

So now with the armor nerf on the void ray, does 1 queen beat a void ray?
|
my 2 cents:
- thor build time is fast now. lookout for some serious proxy factory thor+mass scv allins. not gonna be gamebreaking but certainly abused for some time until all players can handle it. combined with shorter tank build time mech might be a little more viable to mass. will still need some bio support though.
- conc nade now an upgrade -> great change
- void-ray -> 50mins more is not huge and 1 armor less is not much of a difference... died superfast to marines/hydras anyway (maybe needed because dmg to light units was buffed). dmg will take a little longer to kick in (no 2nd level, 3rd level takes same time) but will ultimatley be 1 dps higher.
i think void-ray will still be viable as "base-raider" but opponents have a little more reaction time. might not be able to kill queen 1on1 anymore? dmg increase against light units will be equalized with armor debuff. still not really viable as support figher.
- roach 1 armor -> finally :D. not so much game balance but just utter nonsense to have same starting armor as bc's xD. roach has still great value for cost.
- hydra life nerf -> puzzled by that decision? maybe reaction to colossi dmg nerf last patch?
all in all like the patch!

That would make speedling rushes and aggressive warpgates too powerful against P.
