It was already an extremely close battle to not lose your natural against speedlings, now it'll just be impossible. It fucks up roach openings in ZvZ (until midgame at the very least) and it's going to have a huge effect vs PT late-game. ZvZ early game most certainly will change with this, I agree with you completely there. and P/T late game is nerfed, much like my point states. ZvZ both players are dealing with the same potential builds though, so yes, a FE roach opening is no longer possible. Whats the big deal with that? There will be other FE ZvZ builds that come up. Whether that be spine crawlers into expand or fast baneling (to counter mass ling) into a FE. P/T late game nerf is the point of the nerf, and something I agree on. A 200/200 zerg army should *not* beat a 200/200 P or T army. Late game, Z has the best production capability and the fastest potential tech switches, they should be maxing their food first, expanding first, replenshing their army faster, etc. Its just how the race works. Its ridiculous that massing a single unit to the food cap will beat the ground armys of both other races. | ||

They shouldve reduced size of ultra like the thor, and give lings adrenaline buff. Whats the idea of giving roaches 2 supply? I don't get it. | ||

Lol. So what if one of them were removed? That's like removing Ultralisks without replacing and them and telling people that complain Zerg lacks a supply-heavy unit "who cares? Ultras were removed anyway!" Doesn't make sense, you see. And neither do you. | ||

So Ultralisks... a melee units which is not used specificly because of it's size gets nothing. And Roaches become garbage. Ic. | ||

Rock on in that silver league. | ||

Blizz has said they gonna megabuff ultras but just havn't gotten around to it yet. I think until Blizzard gets around to actually balancing Zerg, they will be underpowered until these buffs happen. | ||

Never checked. Before Thor was so big that it couldn't get into but it was attached to the bottom of the Medivac and that looked great. I guess it model size was designed to match the dropship. Now Thor looks pretty awkward floating below Medivac. Shame You Blizz! On May 14 2010 05:52 BlasiuS wrote: Uh, FG does 36 damage. Thor has 400 hp.

They decreased the radius and size of the unit, so that you can pack more of a punch into the same space. They are less bulky and easier to use now. EDIT: I am laughing SO hard at the thorship picture right now. | ||
