I think Day[9] got something about the Thor mixed up though. He praises the new Thor for being able to kill workers faster now. The sad truth - if my math hasnt left me - is that the "new Thor" doesnt one-shot workers anymore after the damage has been reduced to 30 down from 45 before the patch. Even though the "theoretical DPS" is the same you waste 15-20 damage when you have to hit a worker twice for a total of 60 damage compared to one-shotting it with a single hit of 45 damage. So the workers, who are all 40-45 hp, are the one exception where more hits are actually worse.

As he said though: it was recorded in the morning ...

EDIT: Well it looks like my non-beta-player-logic proved to be wrong, so I have to withdraw the above comments.

Thors have 2 attacks and they aren't able to split them up so before they did 90 damage to workers and now they do 60 which is still enough.

So they shot once and killed a worker and then didnt shoot again? That was a ridiculous way to handle it then.

Ridiculous? No. Remember Zealots? This is all over the place.

They did rechange one thing in a later patch: Mind Control of Infestors could target air in the beginning of the beta already.

(Sorry if someone else already mentioned this, didn't read every single post!)
