1. Forcefield nerfed in some way
2. Roach supply increased to 2
3. Broodlord nerf
4. Tanks buffed
5. And just a Lot of the +dmg to armored nerfed/changed.

My Predictions:
1. Marines gain the ability to "go prone," greatly reducing movement speed but increasing damage by 2. proning and unproning is nearly immeadiate and causes a 25% miss rate from ranged ground units, but increased damage from air units and coloxen.
2. To increase realism, Marines and Mauraders lose the ability to /dance and /cheer, but gain the ability to fart, groan, howl, sit dejectedly on the cliffside.
3. Instead of placing a stationary forcefield, sentries can emit a directional forcefield that pushes units out of the way for a short distance and then dissapears. Still reduces dps of massed armies, but cannot trap them. Good for clearing ramps but less good for holding them. Blocked by massive units, passes under coloxen.
4. To make archons viable, they gain a robe and wizard hat, exponentially increasing their charisma.
5. Increase phoenix movement speed, armor, damage, and allow them to levitate entire armies. Give them passive cloaking and let them shoot flame missiles which light bio units afire and saps their hp (like irradiate). When you kill a phoenix you create an indestructible pile of ash that will morph into a larger and even more powerful phoenix, which can only be countered by Flash.

Yeah I can't really imagine a reaper nerf at this point. Reapers can be annoying early game, but they aren't that hard to defend against.

Predictions:
1. Immortal will have its build time increased by 15 seconds.
2. Tank cost reduced from 150/125 to 125/100.
3. Infestor will see another re-tool of Neural Parasite. I predict a 2 range increase, while implementing a slightly longer time to cast.
4. Brood Lord gas cost down 25, rate of fire slower by 65%.
5. A race wide increase of structure hit points by 25% (except defensive structures).
Rationale:
1. Chrono Boosted Immortals simply come out incredibly fast and the likely place Blizz will look for a nerf is build time.
2. Tank build time decrease helped, but they are still too costly on resources, especially with the basically essential Reaper opening.
3. The main issue with Infestor and NP is the fact that they must be brought to the front lines to get a cast off. A range increase will help make this easier, the increased time to cast will also allow them to be noticed by the opponent making countering them still very possible.
4. Getting Brood Lords as a counter to mass ground as Zerg is often too gas costly to do effectively. Gas decrease will make this more viable for Zergs, meanwhile a substantial rate of fire decrease (over half as slow as they attack now), will make out-right mass Brood Lords more balanced.
5. Buildings simply die too fast to T1.5 pushes, a HP increase is likely to happen.

1. Force field energy cost increased to 75.
2. Immortal build time increased to 50 seconds.
3. Warp Gate upgrade increased to 100/100 cost.
4. Ultralisk starting armor increased from 1 to 2.
5. Reactor build time decreased to 40 seconds.
Really liked the idea of being unable to cast force field directly on units but I thought about it real hard and I changed my mind on that idea. Force field would only be used to block ramps at that point. Battles would turn into fumbling around for 3-4 wasted second trying to find a location to place it, and finally ending up settling for a pointless spot which has little to no effect on the outcome of the battle.
Sure you could use it preemptively but no one is going to attack head on into it if they see FFs up. Gives the spell very little offensive purpose and makes the ability only used for a camp fest.

1) Force field only keeps your units from moving through.
2) Immortals take 50 bonus damage from terran units.
3) Reapers have a 5% chance to go rogue and start killing your scvs.
4) Roach armored reduced to -50.
5) Units now all automatically attackmove from your base to theirs and cannot be controlled.

1) Ultralisks will have slightly better pathing or possibly 2 armour to start.
2) Roach will probably have a regen change, perhaps regaining some regen at hive above ground, or via burrow being cheaper or something.
3) Turret will lose a hair of damage. Not a ton, but just a bit.
4) Brood lords will lose something small, like perhaps broodlings will do 1 less damage, or their armor will decrease by 1, or they will lose 50 hp.
5) Infestor will get infested terran buffed beyond belief, against all the wishes of every zerg player in existence.

1.stalker build time will be slightly increased
2.planetary fortress will have a splash damage reduction
3.broodlord attack speed will drop slightly
