Id like to see this with ultra upgrades and speed. Ultras are really only known for their upgrades, they are pretty useless without them.

Seriously? Those results look about right, ultras suck. Even with upgrades you can still kite them. I don't see how it makes a difference.

This means nothing though. A zerg with ultras is going to have a bunch of lings, which will get in the way of the stalkers and marauders. The just isnt a tank in starcraft 2. Its a glass cannon.

Since you got the infestors there I think they expect you to use FG alongside the frenzy to avoid kiting. So that's something that needs to be incorporated into those tests.

And obviously, instead of testing without upgrades you should test with most of the upgrades, you're bound to have them if you're building your strategy around ultra's.

Ok, no problem:

FULL UPGRADES

2 Ultras w/ 1 Infester vs 8 Marauders

TEST 1: Full upgrades, speed, stim, everything, Attack move, no micro, Frenzy

Ultras Win, 1 Ultra alive, 25% health

TEST 2: Full upgrades, speed, stim, everything, basic micro, stim, Frenzy

Marauders win, 2 dead marauders, (limited area to move due to tester)

Edit: I tried to FG but due to the speed of the Ultras and the Marauders i couldn't catch up. By the time i cast FG they were against the far end of the tester area anyways and the Ultras were dead.

This entire patch was meant to buff Ultralisks. Shields are destroyed by massive units, so now a protoss can't build one sentry and stop an Ultra army. Frenzy is OBVIOUSLY for Ultralisks as well. Not to mention more damage to armored to encourage them not being used only vs mass marine and building damage increase.


Except it wasn't a buff to the ultralisk. As someone poking in the editor just discovered there was also a stealth nerf to the ultra's aoe splash going from 100% to 33%. After running the numbers, in basically all cases this is a dps nerf to the ultra in addition to the hp nerf. The only buff to the ultra this patch is frenzy.

Anyone know what the player limits are in custom maps and if 6v6 (or more?) melee would be possible in custom games?

The thread doesn't take into account the doubling of the attack radius, or the damage bonus of frenzy.

Also, to the tester: in a real game your marauaders would get fungal'd to stop the kiting.

Every single complaint about ultras was them not getting fast enough into the fight, their COST, SIZE model. Blizz chooses to buff completelly irrelevant stats for ultras (their hp and damage WAS FINE) and leave anything else disregarding users feedback and complaints. Are they playing the same game?

Infested terran for 125 energy when it was before 25 ?!?!? And ALL the stats remained the same? Its obvious its some gimmick for singleplayer game which they fanatically trying to keep, but why not then remove the spell completelly from MP and put something interesting and fresh for overseer??

AGAIN Marauder and marine buffs which is allready deadly unit combo for early game for protoss. Marauder early game is a counter for every single one of gateway units and also not even immortal will help couse they are too slow, too expensive and too late to come in for help AND can be kitted easilly by maras now with EVEN faster upgrades. Wheres is the balance in that?

Playin protoss and im now really wondering if im gonna ever win the game against matched opponent when bnet comes online. Maybe its time we all switch to terran??!?

Worst patch ever...
