The speed bonus + the 500 hp buys them JUST enough time to deal the damage they were meant to deal. I tested 6 fully upgraded thors + 10 helions, + 12 tanks vs 16 frenzied ultralisks. The results? I had 4 ultralisks left, and I was also target firing with the thor's cannons (at full energy). Still probably won't be able to break a terran's nat filled with bunkers and tanks on the ridges, but... you'll certainly get close. Personally I think ultras were never beefy at all, and in fact the first incarnation of ultras in sc2 were still stronger than sc1's ultras. The only difference is there is no dark swarm in sc2. However, I think i might start trying some ultra drop antics, it seems like it might work well. | ||

Any small amount of in-house testing is going to be irrelevant when compared to the massive amount of games that will get played by the community after the patch goes out. As far as I'm concerned, in-house testing is only going to be good for knowing whether shit works, and if there's something OBVIOUSLY wrong (which, with such minor changes, there probably isn't). | ||

And to you who are talking about needing a viking range nerf... are you kidding me? Vikings are needed to balance out void rays and broodlords/corruptors. Theres actually some sort of balance there now. If vikings didnt have superier range, terran would have no chance... The only drawback with the unit is in TvT where as of now the air control all depends on the vikings. | ||

 Those uppgrades fusions are welcome for zergs. Ultralisk base speed is now the same as old uppgraded speed? It would be a free uppgrade since Anabolic Synthesis is removed. I don't know if the viking nerf is right, I have never seen those "late game issues" . People whining about archon change, keep in mind that for blizzard, the archon is just a spell of the high templar to use when they are out of mana (i read this on bnet forum somewhere). With this point of view, the archon's buff is good. If they don't want to make a useful infested terran spell, they should just remove it from the game. | ||

All in all, a nice patch though. Definitely moving in the right direction overall. | ||

1 step at a time guys. Really. As long as they're not moving backwards like they're doing with bnet I have nothing to complain about atm. | ||

Doesn't really say anything important, and I am pretty sure that their goals for the Viking will not be met. They already got destroyed by ground units before the patch; people won't make any less Vikings because of this. On June 02 2010 06:52 Wire wrote: It's getting there. That roaches are being fixed for being so underpowered after the 2 supply upgrade is a step in the right direction. It's the WRONG direction. Stronger roaches at 2 supply means less larva cost per roach, which means that larva management is extremely reduced (it already was bad, it's worse now). It means that zerg isn't "The Swarm" anymore. Roaches should be balanced in the opposite way: 1 supply and some other nerf. 110-120 HP 2 armor would be awesome as it is a nerf in zvp and zvt, and a slight (needed) buff in zvz. The first expansion is supposed to be called "Heart of the Swarm". The Swarm is supposed to feel swarmy. | ||

The problem is that archons were finished after the end of the fights... I don't know if 12 seconds is a good number but it's the good way to buff them. | ||
