Meh i don't like this patch.
Hellion range is going to hurt bad.
Corruptor nerf hurts.
Excited to see ultra usage though, finally a reason to tech up to hive.

I agree. The corruptors new spell is pretty useless, and it even costs 100 energy (?)
I see no reason to use it over NP.

At least the old spell was interesting.

Target affected die faster to focus fire. But you understood that already. So i dont get ur question.


my question is what the point of using the single target ability is when any given target is going to die in jsut about the same amount of time regardless of if u use it

a unit dying 20% faster is NOTHING. it's the same as the spell doing damage for 20% of the unit's health. would u use a spell on a unit if it did 20% of it's health in damage? no one would, because that would be a massive waste of time/efficiency.


Actually, this way curruptors would rape colossi even harder.

Yes, and it has anti gravity thing so it all makes sense that it can do all of that..

the previous corrupter ability, while totally underused by most players, was pretty creative and useful, this new spell is totally boring and most likely useless vs anything other than Thor/Colossus/Ultra and Mothership/Carrier/BC.

If the 20% will have any meaningfull usage remains to be seen, i'd assume it would be usefull if you do not have a critical mass of units to burst down the focused target instantly.

Other than that, the 20% bonus for sniping collosi will be usefull, as its not like they die instantly if you only have around 4 corruptors.

Well, people will still use the corruptor ability because there's nothing else to spend the energy on. It's effectively like a secondary attack where the corruptor can do 50 damage or so every minute. Completely bleh.

yeah, 20% harder, meaning u kill ONE UNIT 20% faster. this is absolutely nothing. this is the worst ability ever in sc1 or sc2.

Lots of interesting changes.

The corruption one is the only one I think is LOLWTF. The original building corruption really seemed to have some interesting potential. Now, think about using unit corruption on a big unit (200-300 hp). 20% of that is basically decreasing it's HP by 40-60. People will use it because there's no other way to spend the energy, but it's totally not interesting or exciting.


corruption doesn't reduce a units health by 20%.

It causes all damage against it to be increased by 20%


I know, I'm just trying to say that the effect of the corruption ability is like decreasing the HP of a big unit by 40-60 HP. Which is quite a lame ability with pretty much no potential for interesting use.


No it's effect isn't like that at all. They are totally different.

I.E. a zergling attacking a corrupted unit does 1 extra damage per hit. But an ultralisk attacking a corrupted unit does 5 extra damage per hit. It depends on the damage of the attacking units, not on the health of the corrupted unit.

And to quote myself, wonder if the damage boost is before or after armor? If it is before the armor damage reduction the damage increase from the spell will actually be larger than 20%
