This is the worst patch ever...

Forge nerf wtf, i don't like change to thor and i don't even know what was it's purpose, roach change seems unneeded but maybe Blizz wanted ZvZ to get even less roach-oriented (but IMO it was already kinda diverse)

How can you say that Terran is the most powerful race right now?
Globaly we see Terran beeing the by far least successful race in the top levels.


You mean least successful in that they have the highest win percentage?


No I mean as in ammount of players beeing successful with the race.

roaches were too strong for 1 supply but for 2 supply they seem weak, but who knows. every z i faced untill now massed roaches/hydra the whole game until 200/200 and after that replaced with some broodlords an new hydra/roach. maybe we will see more linge and infestor usage now, and not 2 unit spamming into a move.
maybe this change will suck ass. but then they will fix this again in a different way.
after 2 years i reached it = marine icon

I don't know now what's the ROLE of the roach? it looks like blizzard wants to make the ultralisk the tanking unit but at the same time they decrease every good aspect of the roaches, now what is their role? tactical unit? no. tanking units? not even good vs kiting units.

Don't understand the nerf on the forge either...

Thor smaller, then plz make ultra smaller.


I really think Blizzard needs to realize that they have to make some MAJOR CHANGES to the Roaches and not just try messing with numbers on this one - It's too F'ed up already... ^^'

But I guess if they make the Ultras smaller just like the Thor, they could actually be useful, cuz atm. the biggest Problem is that they don't seem to be able to attack anything: They're too big, get blocked by the own Units, have messed up AI etc. - should be much better with decrease in size I think.

Forge-nerf I don't even wanna talk about... I guess Blizzard likes 1-base 4 gateway+robo-timing-attack by Protoss against every other race.... -.-°

Roaches are still going to be a viable 2 base tank unit that takes the brunt of the damage. The only change is that you actually ahve to pop an overlord or two extra when massing them. Anyone who made roaches early game was going all in anyway.

How does this change affect ZvT at all? Speedling / spines into lair is what the standard build is. Going roaches early against terran has allways been a huge gamble because of the posibility of a marauder counter before your lair tech hits.

The roach is now fixed in its roll as a tanking unit.

Protoss forge nerf - proving that blizz needs to nerf protoss in every patch...even if they dont know what else to nerf lol.

Zerg - Roach nerf...not too bad but I suppose they'll buff zerglings or...wait for it...ultralisks to compensate.

Terran - There was an article saying that terran is the strongest race...slowly agreeing to that now...


A fucking Ultralisk balancing out a t1 unit wait what ?

Seriously don't understand what to do with the Roaches now since they nerfed them to oblivion what's their function now ?

I don't really like the forge nerf. Even less diversity for protoss openings now. =[

Not really, they were the hardest to master and somewhat weaker than the other races before the patch and this hardly changes that much. Although, I do like the thor change.

I don't get the Roach change. It has already lost everything that made it special (regen, armor) and now this.

Exactly.

The roach has been nerfed back to back for months. It is no longer the "cool unit with staying power for the zerg army". It's just lost. It has no place. Like a filler really.

I don't know what the ultra buff is going to be, but it better involve a change of armor type.
I am not nice.

wow, some zergs will have to do more than make 200 roaches to win games, might even have to unit mix. This encourages zergs to use their tech switching versatility to win games as opposed to overwhelming with sheer numbers of roaches.

Great, the race supposed to be all about overwhelming numbers will now have smaller armies than Terran.
