The roach nerf is large but definitely necessary. It will force Zerg to actually compose armies other than mass roaches. maybe T lose cus the T players are worse players? or should we balance the races so that an equal amount of races win tournaments, lol ur the first one ive ever called retarded | ||

Since Ultras get stuck so easily, why not let them leap? Sure, they could allow them to walk over smaller units, but jumping ultralisks would be sweet. Don't let them go too far, and they have to have vision of where they're leaping to. If they do this though they'd have to make it so ultras can't move when burrowed... But leap would be more useful anyway. What do you guys think? =p i think that would be awesome, although i would rather have cheap ultras supply and gass wize than leaping ultras. | ||

I'm really perplexed by the change because I seem to recall watching my roach heavy 200/200 army get crushed by terran and toss armys ( if they had large amounts of aoe ). So I'm not sure where Blizzard is getting their info that 200/200 roach armys are imba. I already tried to avoid 200/200 fights at all cost as zerg because I usually lose miserably if my opponent as massed aoe dmg ( tanks,collosi,storms ). Either way its not really a big nerf imo, in the 20ish games I've done today it really hasn't changed anything other than I have to build OL's more often and getting supply capped a couple times due to a change in timing. | ||

All it does is weaken forge FE a bit, making one base play even more attractive and thus making Protoss as a whole more stale and unattractive. That's sth that's been bugging me A LOT about how Blizzard does their balance-changes: So much is just in regards to some imba-noob-bashing cheese-rush. Want some examples? - SCV-Nerf: Just because of the SCV+Marine-rush - Marine-build-time-Nerf: Just because of the SCV+Marine-rush - Marauder Concussive-shell-upgrade: Because of early Marauder-rush - Forge-Nerf: Cuz of Cannonrush - Queen speed off creep-nerf: cuz of queen-rush/cancelled-proxy-hatch into creep-tumor into spine-crawlers-rush - Dark-Shrine-Nerf - cuz of DT-rush - Warpgate-Nerf - cuz of IMBA 4-warpgate-rush - Roach-nerf - cz of IMBA roach-massing I just don't feel like Blizzard really has a good grip on the game when you look at stuff like that... | ||

This nerf was completely unnecessary and ill-advised. What is zerg going to do to fill this void. Banelings are great, but still some actual meat to win. I hope Blizzard realizes how bad this nerf is. Zerg players, I feel for you. Yeah Marauders & Immortals completely annihilate Roaches... This was pretty much just done for ZvZ I'm guessing, but it probably won't change it... Just slow down the roach production a little bit. | ||

So, you DON'T think they have a good grip on the game, because all of their changes are made to target specific problems? Yeah, makes sense. | ||
