Yeah, the patch notes are pretty lame. The patch, however, is interesting.

Being able to spawn 75 mana high templars isnt' good enough? right now the ghost is more effective than HTs and you get them way faster out than P HTs and you dont need any upgrades to use them. i would like it if feedback would have at least more range than EMP. its way easier to EMP than feedback and T isnt really microing anything during the fight. EMP+STIM and lets see. P needs to feeback Ghosts (gl to feeback 4 ghost between 80Marauders and some medivacs) drop HTs out of Prism, Guardian shields and starting to FF and then PSI and if you didnt splitted your army or have some keyunits on the same place you are dead anyway. the only way to win PvT seems to be early aggression or hidden Colossus, because a T can mass vikings so fast its ridiculous and 1 Colossus gets sniped so fast by Marauders that it doesnt make any sense to attack with 1 Colossus (unless you went for some 1 Base Timingattack). I dont know how to explain but i think its way easier to win TvP if both are equal bad/decent skilled players and the P will have it easier if both are equal good skilled players. the only thing that doesnt make any sense for me is that T builds 2 Units and i need 4 to have an equal chance to win and same goes for PvZ. all i face is hydra/roach and if the game is longer than 15min or something they just press the Broodlord aka i win button. imo the biggest problems are marauders and roaches just change HP/Attack of these units. immortals are fine imo i dont build them and if i build them, i build them just to counter roaches/marauders. P has other units that are more effective against anything else, expect these 2, massable, OP units. For T mech i would like to see first Tanks for 150/75 or 150/100. For Z i would like to see that spawn larva would just produce 3 Larvas. For P i would like to see a Cooldown for FF, like HTs have, so that you can just throw 10 FF down at once, if you have 10 sentrys. | ||

Feedback has more range than EMP already, and the fact that you can spawn with enough energy for a storm coupled with warp-in makes them EXTREMELY strong. T needs to get cloak once P gets high templars, or obs+ht will just kill your ghosts nonstop - which is absolutely fine btw, I don't mind getting cloak. Also, I think you are exaggerating a bit how easy it is to micro T armies - running a move into colossi and storm isn't good :p Spreading marauders, casting EMP and focus firing vikings is a decent bit of work. | ||

Don't get me wrong, i like terran. i played half terran half toss in SC1. but i can't play a race that is so damn easy mode. terrans have a billion tech options and protoss have none that can counter any of them. Guess i'll have to main zerg now cuse toss is just unplayable and i refuse to fold to blizzards will and play terran like every other scrub on the planet. | ||

Perhaps Blizzard hypothesized that this was the reason why roaches were being massed so frequently (i.e. larva was accidentally selected over queen so the player accidentally made a roach). Now the player will accidentally make an overlord. Now Blizzard will believe mass roaches will be less prevalent, right?? -_- Blizzard's balance changes have seemed so off that I would NOT be surprised to see them stoned enough for this to be their reasoning behind the change. | ||

And if you add in chronoboost that's what? a 7,5second delay on the immortal? Doesn't sound like something to complain too much about. 7.5 on every immortal, and that's a chrono boost which could've been used to buff the Protoss economy (whereas Terran have MULEs, not really much of a choice compared to chrono boost on econ or on tech/army), hence eventually putting the Toss behind. | ||

I'm sure they are very busy and it might be a little much to expect them to have perfect balance changes AND release a map editor AND release new maps AND update bnet | ||
