Contaminate on overseers will be amazing. OSOSOSOSOSOSO excited to make people rage with contaminate wow.

Frenzy in 2v2 and on ultras may be awesome too.

I don't want to say these changes are horrible before I try them out but I really don't understand what Blizzard's doing atm.

wat.

The MMM ball was already strong to begin with, making the upgrades easier seems like a sledgehammer approach to a problem that requires a scalpels delicate touch.

The infestor spell seems like its only viable for ultralisk..

Woah wait an infantry buff? What was the problem before?

What's next an air buff for the terrans? As a terran player I'm all smiles

Forcefields removed by ultras simply by WALKING through them? That's incredibly stupid...it makes FF utterly useless in late game ZvP! how does blizz expect protoss players to stop ultra/ling/hydras now? are we supposed to make two dozen templars in each ZvP?

is it just me or does it feel like the wow balance changers was in charge of this

o Player ratings start at 0, rather than 1000.

+ Frenzy spell added:

# Costs 25 energy.
# Targets a single biological unit which deals 25% more damage and is immune to snare, stuns, and mind control for 30 seconds.

Will there be a ladder reset? I'm guessing yes, because there's info on league changes and also ratings start at 0 right? Please, preeesuu let there be a ladder reset....

Don't know what to think about the Ultralisk. Its damage has been buffed and it now is gonna destroy armored units and structures like the beast that it is, which i am totally cool with, but the hp nerf

Honestly they just die SO FAST. Ever tried attacking thors or siege tank with ultralisks. They die before they get to the intrechment. In BW you had swarm to help you move up, now you have...nothing. Your shit is gonna die before it makes it there to do its damage. I dunno. What do you guys think?

In ZvP, obviously the most troublesome thing to deal with are FFs. So in ZvP this won't be much of a problem.

In ZvT however... With a nice tank spread, thors with the cannon, mauaraders/helions, I don't see ultras surviving long enough to deal frenzied damage. However, before a critical mass of tanks are reached, it could be a possibility.

Terrans are going to have to time their Thors very carefully now, with the new overseer corruptor ability. I can see mass mutas being viable against mech now.

Going to be interesting for protoss going robo/stargate against zerg, because they usually only get 1-2 in early game and now can be disabled for 30 seconds by the overseer =O.

So basically they took the useless old corrupter and infestor abilities to the overseer? Also, I really hope I'm not the only one that thinks that massive units breaking forcefields is just ridiculous...

I feel horrible for protoss players, and I'm a terran player. I wish protoss was the ez race again like bw.

yay more terran boost woo (sarcasm). Hmmm idk if this change will actually help ultra's or not but who knows just seems like mass marauder would still rape them before they get to the marauders but won't know without testing...

Not sure why Blizzard improved Terran through infantry... what's so fun about using mass marauders. I also am uncertain about Frenzy ability and overseer receiving Infested Terran. Frenzy seems to be made exclusively for ultralisks since it's single target, and sort of takes away the swarm aspect of the Zerg (although it's only 25 energy so I may be completely wrong). As for Infested Terrans, I really don't see why they added it to the overseer other than to keep the ability in the game to be honest.

I like all the other changes though. Good job Blizzard.
