I'm guessing Blizzard is going to test and work thoroughly on a big patch for "phase 2" of beta. So having a big patch right before the end of phase 1 doesn't make much sense.

Thus, we got a small patch.

no the OC upgrade increased the regen rate TO 10/hp sec, so it was +5 hp/sec by default, then the OC upgrade raised by an additional +5 hp/sec, bringing it to +10 hp/sec.

Basically this patch took the OC upgrade and put it on the tunneling claws upgrade for free.

With the infestor speed upgrade they can keep up with an army while burrowed better. This means an opposing player won't have a BIG FLASHING SIGN (aka the giant infestor unit size) pre battle that they are there. So an infestor can pop up mid battle and get the FG/NP off rather than being an obvious first target. It also helps strength infestor harassing play. Don't forget that FG does some serious damage to workers, 2 FGs will kill SCVs and can decimate a mineral lie.

How exactly does this change ZvT mech at all? Vikings ground attack has never been important, it's the tanks/thors that are the problem.


roach/infestor are now better, making burrowed roaches more effective, and making it easier to position infestors for NP'ing thors.

However the main change is that ultralisk is now viable late-game against mech:

-health buff + speed buff makes it easier to close the gap against tanks without dying
-ultra now require 1 less upgrade to be useful, which means they can come out faster


hmmmm.... no. Ultra is still not viable against mech, Broodlords is still a 1000x better solution against mech. NP is a useless spell, our infestor will still die instantly as soon as you use it, if the player you play against isnt super bad. In fact I haven't seen infestors used for anything else than NP in any game involving 2 good players. Only time i have seen NP it was either complete failure or in a battle that have allready been won by zerg player.

Nothing will change with this patch, changes aren't bad the are just irrevelant.


disagree, infestors have died because they weren't positioned correctly, now with good burrow micro they will be more used.

As for broodlords being better than ultra, well, that may have been true before, but I think with this patch ultra > broodlord against mech (good terrans will always have vikings ready in case of broodlords)


so no good players use infestor for NP just because they all dont know how to place their infestors ? Why do you mean 'with good burrow micro' ? cause i simply dont see what change about the fact that once you NP the thor/colossus your infestor having 9 range will be instantly killed by tanks/colossus ? plz show me a replay against a good terran/protoss player while using your 'good burrow micro' cause at the moment i simply dont see how its possible


Players use NP all the time vs Thors and to a lesser extent tanks. I was watching Sheth vs QXC (I think that was the series) yesterday and Sheth landed 4 NPs in a single battle.

A good Z will always be able to outproduce a T's viking count with corruptors (assuming Z has more bases = higher gas income) and add infestors for fungal growth if needed. I'd say the Z is actually favored if the game goes into the late game w/Z on a solid economy, but the problem is reaching that stage.

vikings hard counter corruptors, even with FG, and they have longer range, so you can't beat vikings using only corruptors + FG

I look forward to more aggressive Infestor play like TLO demonstrated against Loner on Blistering Sands. It seems like Blizzard also envisage the overseer being used in small packs a bit like Maka does with his ravens (the autoturret drop), dropping infested terrans on an unguarded worker line and/or shutting down important buildings before moving out to safety again.

Roach change seems cute but really when do roaches ever take much damage and live to tell the tale? Their main role at the moment is ram into mech armies and then dying. Maybe it'll encourage more roach aggression and small army play.

exactly! i can't understand the logic behind that whole mechanic of roach burrow regen stuff. It's just some sort of absurd. Why i should burrow/move-behind(?) unit that is supposed to take damage letting poor hydralisks behind deal damage a bit longer.

Hmm. Perhaps we will start seeing some old fashioned Zerg transitions from light speedlings -> rush to muta harass -> ling/ultra/infestor against Terran?

Using unit tester on pre-patch roaches 5 hp/sec seems like the correct number for normal regen. And with the upgrade they had 3 times faster regen.

It's a nerf if you were getting the tier3 upgrade, but in most cases it's a buff since you'll get half of it with a more useful tier 2 upgrade.

sigh... waste of a patch.

No effective changes to toss

No one cared about viking's ground damage... it was the air damage that matters. How about like range 6 instead of the ridiculous range 9?

Zerg changes are meh


Yeah, I'd take range 6 on vikings when they can fire while moving and charge up rocket damage.

...

Seriously, orb, atleast try to think before spouting ridicoulus shit like that.

Nothing stopped you from having burrow micro before this patch. If burrowing with infestors was actually a useful thing to do, you would do it before, speed or not. The truth is it's pretty much non existent.

Could be good against early (pre-raven) mech.
