as a random player, i feel they should have kept the ultra hp at 600 and seen if it was in fact imbalanced or just useful. Protoss nerfs were all stuff that we saw coming, lets face it, protoss was raping terran senseless, however i dont agree with the terran buffs, shoulda waited to see if the protoss nerfs by themselves would fix the MU because a lot of the wins toss got were from void ray bullshit antics. buffing terran like that will make zvt quite a bit harder (faster push from t, less drones from z, playing with a weaker eco etc.)

wow...aside from the Terran buffs (said as a Protoss player) this patch was utter bullshit.

VRs were overpowered? No, they weren't. Just throw up missile turrets in time or get enough marines. Defense against VRs was very managable. Force field nerf...eh...kinda dumb imo but w/e I can live with it.
Zerg changes just make this game feel like DotA tbh..."frenzy."

Questions I have about this patch:
  • Is contaminate a channeling spell?
  • What is the range of contaminate?


I would be fine with contaminate if the overseer used the ability by dropping some sort of creep or goo on to the building which halts production for 30 seconds. If they can simply use the ability from a distance and then fly away I have problems with this. You can easily fuck up a Protoss most essential unit (the colossus) with this.

Honestly in most games I've seen with TvZ marauders, a marauder line can stim, focus fire, and kill the ultralisk before it gets a chance to do any damage. The idea that ultralisks can do more damage to marauders really isn't very appealing to me, especially now that ultralisks also have significantly less health.

Maybe if I use ultras I'll just be dropping them on top of the marauder balls so they can actually get a few hits off :s

I don't see why people are complaining about zerg "nerfs". Ultras will be used just as much as before (almost never) and the new spells only help so I would say its a small buff rather than a nerf. However the toss nerfs are uncalled for and the T buffs are retarded. I'll prolly switch to toss for the remainder of the beta was already playing a boring amount of TvT's before the patch, its gonna get a lot more stupid after.

I can only see this happening if the Zerg has pretty much already won and has the whole map covered in a carpet of creep.

They should have called it the "rhodium" division.

PvZ late game seems really, really hard for P now. Otherwise, TvP looks better. Ultras will probably still die pretty easily to marauders in TvZ, since the marauders are faster with stim. But . . . if you flank the marauders with ultralisks . . . .

It's exactly the same as the old corrupter spell i think...

Fantastic patch though I'm not convinced the FF nerf is on the right track. It should still be a big deal - but it's just that Z and T don't use massive units as much as P does :|

And thank goodness they reduced VR range. VR were way OP with a range that allowed them to micro marines on ledges and force excess turrets. Going VR shouldn't require T to build 1000 minerals in turrets just to stay alive, as it has since the last VR change :|

u people say that as if ultras ever did unsatisfactory amount of dmg..
Ultras problem was always getting 1 shot by tanks/marauders/thors but i guess in this way it is a buff- theyre still getting 1 shot but doing mor dmg while at it now.

I just came in my pants. Seriously. This gives Zerg players with high APM / multitasking capabilities SO many options now.

Well I guess they fixed one side of the marauder / void ray problem. Hopefully something is done with the marauder to make it not as glaringly useful with a simple A-click.

The overseer abilities are awesome, no doubt about that. Contaminate makes getting Thors in ZvT harder and more risky (harder to build up a critical mass!) and gives a timing window for muta attacks.

Love the decreased usability of forcefield in the end game. Theres no way a tier 1 spell should be s powerful (if not more powerful) in end game as it is in beginning / mid game.

Confused about the stim / shield upgrade. It just makes marauders stronger earlier vs protoss... which is definitely not needed.

Overall, pretty good patch, and I'm a protoss player.

Can someone tell me how the old contaminate spell from the corruptor used to work? Was it a channeling spell, or did you have to be near the building?

I don't think this Frenzy Spell + Ultra change has anything to do with Marauders. You can now not only break but full on SHIT on tank\mech contains.

Frenzy Ultra will absolutely destroy a bunch of tanks sitting next to each other in a line in siege mode. Even with lowered health you could either use zerglings to take the first few hits then send Ultras in right after, or: Overlord Drop on the tanks. Either way it will take 8 un upgraded tanks to 1 shot an Ultra. That is still alot.
