I think this should definitely make Terran infantry way more viable in TvT I'm sure Mech will still be by far the more predominant build, but infantry will still be more useful | ||

Evidence: Battlecruiser: Get's kited and doesn't do its full DPS because it can't get enough shots off, so Blizzard makes them build faster. Ultralisk: People were complaining that it couldn't get in range because it's too big, so it's damage was increased. Reapers: Had little viability past the early game, so Blizzard made it's speed upgrade faster. Terran Mech: Zerg didn't have a good counter to it, so Blizzard nerfed tanks. | ||

Thanks Blizzard, the only way to make TvT more boring is making MMM more viable in TvT. | ||

Why they nerved the thor I don't rly get, I rly don't think it was too strong against mutas, nor do I think that this nerv is gonna be pretty huge. Don't see why the hellion nerv was necessary either, but think it is pretty fair, as hellions are still insanely good. the broodlord nerv isn't going to have any effect imo either, since they are ridiculously strong already, without any upgrades at all. Overall an OK patch. Ultras are rly rly good now btw., I think the changes they have done to them were pretty nice. | ||

Overall an OK patch. You don't see much changes because you are looking at the entirely wrong match up. Zealots take 1 extra shot, Stalkers take 1 extra shot. I'll say it 100x, the solution should have been a Zerg specific ability to help counter Terran, not a Terran nerf. | ||

Imho. you people are jumping the gun far too early, we can't be sure how the match up is changed by the changes to mech before testing it (how does it affect splash etc.) but at least we do know that Blizzard is aware of the fact that mech is a bit too powerful against zerg and is going to be dealing with it. That's good. | ||

If you give a sick patient the wrong medicine nothing will get better. You may have attempted to fix the problem but that really means nothing. | ||
