The tank was perfect the way it was, only thing that needed changing was giving zerg some cannon fodder to smack the tanks (IE 1 food roaches), and lower the attack speed in siege mode so marauders dont roast to tank fire. The damage was fine especially considering its cost and supply. Mannnnnn, I really dont wanna rely solely on the marauder ball again  | ||

Tanks will still one-shot things and their powerfull (overpowered) Ai allow them to not overkill units... | ||

I hope you guys are happy that the "pillar" unit of the Terran army is looking more and more like it doesn't deserve it's name. Also, at the beginning there was way too much bio play. Then, tanks got a buff and mech became cool. What are they trying to do, shift this back to the MMM boring crap? Every single mech unit got nerfed in 2 patches. Maybe it's because Blizzard said they don't want tanks to be like in BW (pillars). | ||

I think this just messes up T v P balance while doing very little about Z v T. Zerg still has no viable way to even put a dent in a mech army. Like an above poster pointed out, the damage nerf on tanks doesn't make them any less dangerous to hydras, roaches or lings (though it may help Ultras a bit). | ||

Tanks were already pretty unpopular in T v P. | ||

Early game harass buff but late game mech nerf. Personally, this is the first patch in a while that I'm not that pissed off about. | ||

i think this is mainly a playtesting reason inspired by the huge overreaction of players when a unit gets nerfed or buffed ("omg shitroach nerfed again... i gonna play imbamech terran!" something like that  ).the overall Mech nerf shouldn't be that bad (even if 10 less dmg on tank seems hard) but it's also more to show the community, that they try to listen to the players (and mech being to strong especially against Zerg was ha huge issue). | ||

I have to look at the exact numbers of how this affects the number of shots a tank needs to kill something but ten damage is ALOT and for a slow shooting unit like tanks, one more shot to kill something is significant. It seems that the nerf fails to reach the supposed purpose though, zerg were having problem with mid and late game terran mech, where you have a lot of tanks/thors. But it seems to me that these nerfs just cripples mech in the earlier parts of the game where you have less tanks whereas when you have enough tanks to stack up the splash damage, a base damage nerf doesn't really do anything. | ||

Unfortunately this patch shows that whining = changes, which should put Zerg in a good position as the Zerg playerbase is the whiniest I've ever seen on a videogame. Hopefully this changes the current state of TvT however. | ||

Next patch - 10 dmg = ??? For god sake, why touch tank, just nerfing Thor AA would make tanks less useful, I just dont get it.. Screw that, lets wait for release.. | ||

Prepare to see a lot of changes to whatever the Zerg playerbase whines about most frequently. That tank nerf is HUGE. I think I can live with the tank damage nerf(Got to see how this works out vs Toss first)but they better leave Hellions an Thors alone. | ||
