EPTAssuming you have equal resources & supply, thors w/ 250 mm strike cannon + X will always beat ultras + X. Dealing 500 damage in such a short amount of time is insane, regardless of stun.

Also the thing that looks like a human with red skin, predator jaws, and big teeth... Is that a changeling? Or is it some other unit i don't recognize? I think its the Infested Terran. | ||

Ultra is quite cool now, you just have to make sure the opponent has no Marauders/Immortals. BTW: Servers up again soon?! | ||

I don't really think it's the implementation of skill disparities, which tbh is not really a good thing in the first place (Imagine how terrible it would be if worker rally didn't work, or you could only select 16 units still). I think it's just a preference change to something that makes people more able to organize their units effectively. It's more likely in most cases that people want to have their units move into a rally position directly and they want them in that rally position, they don't want them out wandering about. Which is honestly good for me, and you'll all get used to it. Attack move was honestly more annoying personally due to the wandering problem they had while moving as a result. | ||

Also didn´t they remove infested terrans from the infestor because they thought it wasn´t used? So why return it instead of thinking of something that can be used in more situations. But anyways infestors already are awsome, probable the best new zerg unit imo. And overseers will still be annoing as shit with corruption. At least they cannot bore the workers at my mineral line to death anymore by droping infested terrans. Well I hope we can play it soon ! | ||

Assuming you have equal resources & supply, thors w/ 250 mm strike cannon + X will always beat ultras + X. Dealing 500 damage in such a short amount of time is insane, regardless of stun. as funny as this sounds but in a real battle scenario i almost believe thors with 3-0 will be more efficient against ultra not using the m250 cannon just because of the overkill factor. you prepare for 250 it gets killed by other units and then ur thor ended up being idle for nothing or the other way around that u prepare and ur thor dies. there are just tons of situations where the thor wont get the attack off in a battle. i dont know the exact math of this but once u target an ultralisk i believe ud be forced to get at least 3/4 of the m250 on the ultra off to make it pay off compared to normal attacking. and the chances of the ultra surviving for that long is pretty thin ultralisk is probably still gonna suck against thors, i dont think this changes alot as i was never convinced the m250 was that good ever since it became an upgrade | ||

Yep, now you actually have to be paying attention.  Good changes all around. Assuming the infested terran is just a placeholder atm just so that frenzy could get removed. | ||

Dude, you can't micro worth shit, that doesn't mean everyone else should suffer because of it. The fact of the matter is that you get more control over your units this way. This is in no way shape or form "retarded". | ||

When are you going to have the energy to use that ability? Ever? Also, "Enabled the ability to manually add a StarCraft II character friend". Yesssssssss | ||

They're funny and entertaining. Everything doesn't have to be serious business. For gosh sake, it's a game afterall, it's meant to have fun, also for the developers. And no, this is not a launching point for you to say "WELL MAYBE THEY SHOULD TAKE DEVELOPING XYZ FEATURES MORE SERIOUSLY!" This is just something fun and easy they like to implement for lols. Do you also hate all the easter eggs in the achievement names? GET YOUR BIOSHOCK OUT OF MY SC2! | ||

Rally points changed back to move instead of attack move... but I thought that was so great! maybe it makes zerg too OP in regards to re-inforcing an ongoing attack. Abusing this + creep late game can really make your opponent run like a little schoolgirl all around the map while u just macro away, you barely have to micro with this feature in that situation. The other thing, infestors getting back infested terran, im not so sure about this. I dont mind it changing back but whats the reason, im curious... overseer had too many abilities maybe? Id rather spend my energy on changelings and corruption anyways, good call i guess. Removing frenzy was a bit of a no brainer, only effective to use on ultras. Mostly to stop them from getting stunned by thors, which seriously will happen so rarely in games, so give the Ultras a passive -cannot be stunned- ability. ok sure thats cool. Also, now u cant neural parasite an ultra zvz. yea.... | ||

Units are supposed to do what you tell them not just go off randomly chasing other units. Biggest example I can think of in Sc2 is ZvP where zealots are attacking your natural hatchery while you attempt to build up enough zerglings to engage. Every single time a zergling pair pops out of its egg, it attacks the zealots. This will often cause you to lose one or at least take damage because they won't move to the desired destination. | ||
