Ultralisk change ==> stats change won't make the ultra more viable... The problem for using ultra you have to do unfestor pit ==> hibe ===> ultra den and 2 research to make him usefull so its take really too long. This is ridiculous they just don't get whats the problem Fenzy infestor spell ==> another one-target-super-boring spell, could be used with ultra but we are playing starcraft not warcraft 3 right ? that just doesn't sound like a starcraft-like-fun-spell Overseer spell : at least overseer won't be as useless as it is now, need to see how it affects gameplay Zerg gameplay will be as boring as it is now, nothing changes, maybe I was expecting too much, we'll have to keep massing roaches/hydra It looks like the only thing that blizzard cares about is that we play with their big massive power-ranger-like units (thor, ultralisk....) and nothing else, I'm sorry but that's not the starcraft spirit as we know it. They make some stupid caster/big unit combo that's pretty boring gameplay... | ||

Every race will need to completely turret up their entire base vs. zerg, even if the zerg has zero air otherwise  That is, if they intend to have any production capabilities at all. I realize they want to make the unit more interesting, but for something so cheap and widely used already, it seems pretty ridiculous. Overreaction. Overseers still cost 100 gas. No zerg is gonna mass overseers just to have some infested terran in the mid-late phase. I'd rather have 10 mutas than 10 overseers. | ||

The void ray change was necessary and perfect, ultras may be useful vs protoss late game now (where zerg didn't really need them) and nowhere else, the overseer corruption spell will be absolutely game-breaking against some builds... Terran infantry with cheaper (faster) stim and shields? wat ... wat wat edit: by the way I think that the copper/diamond change was just to remove some of the negative psychological effects of being in the worst league. Bronze sounds so much better than copper. Good change! | ||

frenzy is kind of a weird choice, i would've preferred some updated version of dark swarm, but hey at least they're trying something new out. seems designed specifically for ultras... i was hoping for something that would bring cracklings back. we'll see how it pans out. only problem is i really wanted to see the queen get another ability, like that old defensive ability it used to have, maybe researchable at tier 2 or something. terran buff kinda pisses me off. i have enough trouble breaking the infantry ball as it is. | ||

I play Terran and even I think this Marine buff is total bullshit. Void ray nerf seems fairly inconsequential, seeing as Hydralisks and Marines only have range 5 anyway. I like the new Zerg spells, though. | ||

Overseer - Contaminate spell added: Costs 75 energy - Targets a single enemy structure which cannot train units or research upgrades for 30 seconds. Infested Terran spell added: Costs 125 energy - Infested Terrans have the same stats as those previously created by the Infestor and are placed directly under the Overseer when spawned. This basically means that Zerg can continue growing past 200/200 supply, because they can train infinite Overseers which will be combat-capable units with patch 13. Not a fan of Zerg being the only race for which 200 supply isn't a hard cap on their army strength. | ||

I think it could definitely change the way zergs play in a lot of ways. | ||

The new Zerg spells look really good, though, and I'm interested in seeing how the Ultra changes pan out..but I think they definitely have potential. The Marine changes are obviously a way to get people to use more Marines as opposed to pure Marauder...but I think I already have a suggestion that would do the same thing. Like, say...nerfing Marauders? Apparently, Blizzard is still very afraid to do anything that would at all nerf Terran; which I'm not sure is at all justified. But we'll see. Oh, and in case anyone is keeping track, that's a Terran buff, many Zerg buffs, and two Protoss nerfs in this patch. So everyone can go ahead and switch races like they've been threatening to do since Patch One... | ||
