@ people saying the corruptor's ability is useless, you are dumb. No offense. It's not exciting to watch like dark swarm, but 25% more damage against like 10 units in their army (ie, colossus). Yes please. Why would you not use it? Frenzy, on the other hand, is silly. Why do that when you can fungal growth? MMM ball trying to micro away from the ultras? FG, problem solved. I have actually used ultras in a game or two in top diamond league play and they sucked less than I thought. This can only help. | ||

In tvt it is tank/viking vs tank/viking and if you make something else, you die. Something that involves more than 1 base or lasts longer than 5 minutes? Roach vs Roach sucks, but it probably wasn't as bad as ling/bling as the games would go longer. Right now a single mis-click will cost you the entire game. Imagine if you were playing ZvT with no wall in and nothing, but marines. More or less that's what ZvZ feels like. It's actually kinda fun sometimes, but it's also very shallow strategically. | ||

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: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RoundoffError.html | ||

Marauders will just slow you down and fuck up your army.Right now, TvP is like playing TvP in BW but you can't use arbiters and terran wraiths own your carriers and vultures slow your units to a crawl. I've been saying this for the past few patches. But ZvT is screwed up right now too so I guess we can expect something major in phase 2? | ||

Forcefield can certainly minimize losses when retreating :> | ||

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 | ||
