What is going on at blizzard? Its kinda obv that all the "anoying" and slightly difficult things terran has to deal with gets fixed. I mean: Thor splash against muta, void ray range nerf, tech getting cheaper (like stim etc).

Doesnt anyone over there realise that terran might not be winning right now, but they are the race with by far the biggest potential. Its going to be all terran wins until HotS if they continue like this. I mean EMP alone is a cheaper, faster, longer range spell than feedback/storm and it does both in 1. Its unit can also attack and cloak.

The stalker not being able to blink up destro rocks is retarded, it made sence, you can see part of the ramp and a stalker can blink where it can see. It wasnt inbalanced or OP at all, it was just the ONLY early/mid game harass protoss have.

I guess harassing is reserved for terran with tanks and their range towards steppes nat for example, reapers, cloaked banshee, viking landing etc. all which are alot earlier than anything that protoss can do like storm drop or maybe phoenix lift.

Two gate versus zerg was just fine, and tbh the only tactics that made the matchup balanced. Now its easy FE for zerg which means that their midgame push is going to overrun protoss.

The change might have been needed for other reason but why does it feel like terran gets the creative buffs/nerf where the other races just gets the nurfbat which will create imbalanced in other places not intended?

Zerg/Terran domination until the expansion or possible even the protoss expansion. Im playing terran for sure. I feel so much more relaxed with knowing that if I scout well (reapers/scans etc) I can always get a strong counter.


mate, don't you realise that there's been like 1 week of playtime since tanks had their damage reduced by 20% ?

blizzard will not risk 'over nerfing'.

i agree that protoss are having a very hard time against terran, can't seem to find any high level replay where the protoss was able to get any control past the early game in that matchup... just exploit voidray until it's fixed i guess.

The zealot nerf is absolutely retarded, pretty much makes PvZ on maps like Steppes unplayable if they decide they want a free win because even 10pylon-10gate with a chrono'd zealout is no where near done by the time a 6pool's set of lings arrive.

Indeed it was hard enough to win before, usually this would almost 100% be followed up by banelings that were almost impossible to stop

hopefully some silent zerg nerf has been done
And yes maybe nerfing the rax and the reaper was a bit extreme, they should have did one or the other imo

The NP nerf is devistating for ZvT. More importantly, it makes no sense...it'd be one thing if it was just a spell that allowed the Infestor to run away or recast something else afterward...but it ties up the unit...there's no reason for any time limit, especially one that short. If it is to prevent abuse, it should be made to last 20-30 seconds, ensuring that any major battle finished.

I can't believe Blizzard would add 20% to the zealot cooldown time (or 15% to the build time) and not mention it in the patch notes. What's up with that?

I think that they don't want to risk an overreaction of the community.

OR

the changes are bugs.

Does NP really only last 12 seconds now? Because they even added in an achievement for warping in a zealot while playing zerg, which makes me think you're supposed to NP a probe and throw down a gateway.

Some of these changes seems bad, others seem downright idiotic.

dont see the huge problem. there is one map with close enough rush distances for it to even matter a tiny bit. and if you really really have such huge problems with it why not simply wall of?

do standart wall and if they really arive super early just do a fullblock with another pylon or stall the 5 secs with probes.

i really dont understand why people call "OMG UNBEATABLE IMBA!" before playing,testing or even thinking for a second about it.


and why should banelings after a 6pool be hard to stop in any way? do you realise how low the drone count and how late the gas is after a 6pool?

Is the Zealot nerf really, really confirmed? If so it is such a hard nerf.

They decided that infinity was too long, making it longer so that it would last until any major battles are over would be redundant.

pylon build field for protoss got a much cleaner animation, now its a blue circle instead of a filled blue circle

zerg creep seems to spread alittle spikier instead of a clean circle

Confirmed that the only think about blink that was changed was the bug about blink range: they can still blink to unpathable areas as long as it is within range.

Also, the new MBS for terran is awesome except for the reactor bug where only one guy gets queued there until the tech labs are full.

I just don't appreciate how they changed so much without telling us in the patch notes. I thought the game was pretty well balanced pre-phase 2 and these changes may disrupt the balance.

Or, you know, throw down a Nexus. Or first a Pylon and a Gateway with another NP. With an infinite NP that wouldn't really be much of an achievement

I don't really see what the big issue is with a duration after which the battle is decided anyway.

I gotta say some of these changes i just don't get, but oh well i have yet to really get any games in so i can't speak from experience that they make that huge of a difference, i can agree with some of the other people here that the zealot time increase is going to make early game pvz so much harder, but im hoping that someone will find something clever to do to keep us alive or that the change won't be as dramatic as we all think

Because they threw Beta up as quickly as possible to step the bloodflow from RealID backlash.

Seriously. Think about the timing on how this all came up, and everything seemed to be bugged already.
