splash damage now originates from the center of the target, rather than the impact location near the unit in order to maintain more reliable splash damage.

Do I understand this correct, does this mean that running your units towards a siegetank instead of standing still and taking the hit doesn't matter anymore and damage will always be the same. Doesn't sound like something you'd want...

There are frequently undocumented changes, so that may be the case.

Hm, really wish they would of lowered the life of the brood lord a lot more.... and as for the thor splash, dont see why they messed with it, as it really was a good way to counter banshees in TvT.

Still skeptical about the corrupter's ability though, they made it VERY situational =\

Ah well, Still looking forward to when they buff the scv's health! xD

This patch right before the HDH Semis, the TLI #2, Razer Domination Finals, and numerous other tourneys. Obviously any time they drop a patch it'll mess with tourneys, but Patch 9/10 was small potatoes to what this patch is doing.

The build orders we see for the tourneys this weekend are going to be VERY interesting. Hopefully people can get enough practice with the new patch in time.

New splash damage? Very interesting. Infestors and corruptors are a little less useful now

Seriously how can zerg defend now vs 4 gate push on maps with a back door ??? Blizzard is fucking stupid. Buff for the phoenix, buff for colossus and a 2 dmg reduction for map editor ... its a joke and bad one.

interesting, good to see balance changes still coming. Some got scared that it was more or less finalized, bc of the relatively close release date hehe. Some of the hotkey stuff gonna mess me up for a bit, but o well

Corruptor

I can only imagine how they came up with that number... o.O
