First Protoss buff of all the patches? Great, now I just know that when Blizzard releases patch notes it will say something like, "Probe: Mining efficiency cut by 50%"
What does it matter how I loose it?

Oooh nice. The Archon change seems meaningless, but it should at least make them more feasible to use in battle after spending templar energy. Whenever I see a Protoss form archons in battle, they're always done AFTER the battle ends so you can just pick them off.

Ultralisk buffs... yay, 110 saved on getting ultras out is pretty huge, not to mention the resource cost. +50 hp probably isn't enough, but it's a start.

Why is it 2.9531? Does Blizzard really need accuracy to 4 decimal places?

The balancing is fine, at least Ultras are more like their name.
Even though I play T, the Viking nerf isn't much - therefore no complaints.
MBC/Liquid/TSM always.

LOL! Decreased Archon warp time by 5 seconds? That's the last buff that P needs. Thanks Blizzard for an amazing job well done, as always. -_-

Considering they took the ultralisk in the direction that TL has been wanting it to be in, I think blizzard did a pretty good job.

this was a balance change mainly for TvZ and PvZ. You can tell b/c the viking change is to shift roles of vikings a bit, and obviously archons are now imba with the +5 seconds... obviously.....QQ

but this patch was mainly geared for tvz imo to deal with mech better. We'll see if it works!

I believe this is the speed they set some melee units to to let them chase workers. I believe it is unupgraded off-creep ling speed, for instance. So yeah they found a number that worked and it happens to be 4 decimals long, haha

I'm really afraid about the fact that blizzard will definitely not change their pathetic zergs spell (fenzy, corruptors ability, infested terran) and instead of that will just try to make mino changes, hoping that players will finally use them, but unfortunately it will never happen and thoses spell will just stay as useless as they are Blizzard are definitely not capable of repairing their mistakes, corruptor infestor and overseer NEED new ability, not just useless minor changes.

But ultralisk changes go into the good direction for once, even if im pretty sure it won't be enough to make them playable, maybe in patch 15 ?

I'm not sure if all the minor buffs zerg received make up for the 50 extra gas for overlord speed. The biggest buff to zerg this patch may have been the damage reduction on the viking ground attack...

I'm curious why they're completely ignoring the brokenness between TvP

Terran have so many options to win in the early game,
Protoss then have the counter to easily win the mid game without effort

and it's nearly impossible to see late game cause it never reaches this point unless both just turtle.

I'm satisfied with this patch. Thank you, Blizzard. Last patches were so strange, this one seems very sensible!

These are excellent changes I think. Ultras really needed that buff

I get that, but you're telling me 2.95 doesn't work? REALLY?

Overlord/Overseer
Pneumatized Carapace cost increased from 50/50 to 100/100.


Makes me a little sad, I liked fast Overlord speed...

61/64 = 0.953125


edit: the technical reason why we need a power of 2:
+ Show Spoiler +

To be more specific, 2.95 does not have an exact representation in finite precision floating point arithmetic because the number is binary when in the computer. If the denominator is a power of 2, however, the number can be represented exactly. You'll accumulate roundoff error over time because you are adding 2.95+error to itself every timestep. It's probably not a big deal; most likely it would just give your hydralisk has an unnoticeably small random variation in speed, but it might lead to weird collision detection bugs so it's best to just remove the ambiguity and work in powers of 2.


Real-world example of when counting time in a base-10 increment instead of a base-2 increment caused roundoff error that made a Patriot Missile system fail during the Gulf War:
