are you joking?

Im sorry but i refuse to play protoss with bullshit like that, i mean lets buff terran even more?

now not only will marauders have concussive but cheap ass stim too.

blizzard takes the absolute worst possible routes in terms of balancing

you seem to not realize the horrendous statistics in TvP. Terran is being absolutely raped in this mu.

I was hoping mech would be a bit more viable vs protoss but it they just went and made infantry more viable.

I mean, the patch notes are up, but the actual patch isn't up? Huh?

Isn't it generally the other way around?

why did they switch the zerg worker rally point again to "G' this time? I liked it at "R" since I was so used to using "R" to set rally from BW =(

Cool they fixed Zerg, but I think they broke Protoss...

Yeah, Ultralisk HP nerf, what? I can see the infestor spell being used on ultras to make them powerful, though

Ultras were in need of a boost... not more nerfs.

Well they do more damage to armored, can destroy force fields and bloodlust I mean frenzy spell from Infestors is a buff to them indirectly. Though again their reasoning is to counter mind control which is funny.

Artosis nails it.

Frenzy is going to lead to some really really interesting 2v2s... Also... frenzy and BLs <<

Im sorry, but the reason Protoss is using VR's so frikkin aggressively is because frikkin Terrans are using frikkin Marauders so frikkin aggressively, this apparent blindness to the cause of the problem is seriously pissing me the frikkin hell off.

I don't understand this at all...they said they were going to buff ultralisks. Is this for real? That is not a buff at all, they will still be entirely unused. The worst part is frenzy is basically created FOR the Ultralisk but at 450 and still taking up an entire choke itself it will just get demolished. Grats, it now has one purpose as a force field destroyer. Then the worst part is it is designed to counter marauders...um? At 450 hp the Ultra will get RIPPED by marauders before it even gets in close.

And this terran buff: honestly? The very last thing I expected. Those are about the two changes I don't like or agree with. The voidray nerf is good, the new zerg abilities seem cool, but the ultra and terran changes are utterly baffling to me.

As a zerg player all I have to say is:

+ Show Spoiler +

Honestly though I am curious how the ultra with 450hp will work. On one hand we have a huge damage increase against armored and frenzy... which will make ultras rape anything that they get close to, and the forcefield nerf is a huge buff... On the other hand 450 isn't quite as beefy. Should be interesting

This patch is epic!!! Strange that they implement this right before beta shut down though IMO.
