We have put in a large number of buffs to the Ultralisk to allow him to close the gap on his enemies. The Ultralisk can now ignore Force Fields and with the Infestor’s Frenzy ability he can ignore all of the ways that the enemy could disable him. With all of these buffs the Ultralisk needed to be rebalanced. We are focusing him more as an anti-armored unit since zerg players already have a few ways to deal with mass light units (Banelings and Fungal Growth). This Ultralisk should be able to deal with both mass Marauders and mass Roaches which are a common threat to zerg players in some end game scenarios. The issue with Ultras dying against Marauders was not that Ultras couldn't damage them, it's that stimmed Marauders shred an ultralisk in a single volley. All this bonus damage is completely worthless if the Ultras never reach the Marauders. Feels like wow arenas all over again, sheer stupidity. | ||

Terran can basically just sit back til the 5 minute mark, then 1a into the enemy's base...... "Our forces are under attack!"

Lots of games I see and play end with people NOT doing that. Thus, Ultras versus Mauraders would be still very much a case scenario and one with the Ultras probably losing. So what do you want? Ultras to be so amazing they can walk through the unit meant to take them out? If the opponent doesnt change his style, just go hydra ling against marauders and win that way. If the opponent switches the unit comp, then get some ultras. | ||

The only time I can see using ultras is vs a P who doesn't know about the advanced building button, and thus only has mass non-blinking stalkers + sentry + zealot | ||

If the opponent doesnt change his style, just go hydra ling against marauders and win that way. If the opponent switches the unit comp, then get some ultras. So Ultras were buffed against the "unit meant to take them out" by giving extra damage but less HP so the "unit meant to take them out" takes them out faster. Yes I want Ultras to be able to walk up and swing at Marauders instead of just die to them while stimmed. So you want me to go a combo against marauders but the terran player isnt' allowed to combo but just goes STRAIGHT marauders? The logic seems flawed in that it assumes the Terran won't combo against hydra-ling with Marauders. | ||

Googled a bit but only found the french tradition to offer diamond for the 60th year wedding anniversary and platinum for the 70th year anniversary. | ||

Frenzy - what the hell is this shit? We're moving further and further away from a swarming race. What happened to my brutal Hydralisks that didn't give a shit about having a damage buff because they were so numerous? What happened to zerg not caring about dying because they'd just have more to replace them? Ultralisk - the ONE unit that the zerg actually cared to genetically mutate to be HARD TO KILL has finally become easier to kill. Great job, Blizz. Roaches - Still 2 food. Looks like the Terran United Earth Directorate cares LESS about human casualties (marines are 1 food, thus hoards of them die like ants) than kerrigan does about her underlings (2 food roach / 2 food hydra) .. Kerrigan must cry herself to sleep everytime one of her precious, expensive, slow moving, shit roach/hydra armies die. There are too many fucking problems with this game to list here. | ||

HuskyStarcraft Quote: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25026562839&sid=5000 Idra likes to complain alot. he is a moron with bad manners. Someone just needs to knock the lights out of that guy. Lol @ Husky. He's mad that Idra beat his favorite SC player Nony in his own tournament. Did you hear him during the Nony Moodglade matches? | ||

I bring this up because for the ultralisk to be viable with this HP nerf, they really do need to be fully upgraded, so you have to start them early. I dunno. thoughts...haha | ||

I think Blizzard wanted people to feel better about themselves so instead of being in copper league you'd be in bronze, instead of bronze you'd be in silver, etc. I'm not so sure that Diamond is a good league name though, sounds feminine to me. | ||
