I mean... banelings don't have any counter anymore. tanks.But instead of just adding 4 tanks as an afterthought you are more commited to something as Terran. Or get a quick armory for +1 vehicle weapons to one shot zerglings again. NOTE: this should open up a timing window where zerg can use +1 carapace lings to attack low tank count of an early mech player before +1 attack is out. | ||

If anything, reactor build time should be reduced to 25, reactors take like 3 waves of units to compensate for the insane build time. I wouldnt say -20% damage is being "gimped to hell" especially since theyre damage output was a little too high vs ground. But a 90 second build time is too fast, especially if you compare them to 120 build time of carriers and continue to compare BCs and Carriers in all categories. I know comparing 2 units amongst eachother is not the best way to determine balance, but if you compare their role and how they act with other units on the field then it should become clear I disagree with your reactor comment entirely. Apart from balance... that wouldnt even be strategy >_< | ||

But now that zealots are nerfed, I can just marauder push and autowin. No struggle at all. The toss is going to make a robo anyway for obs to scout past wall. Immortals were lol against Tanks. But yeah, Zealots being nerfed is pretty bad for Marauder pushes. | ||

I'm never disappointed. | ||

We have mid- to long-term plans to further evolve the Custom Game experience, and soon, enhance our social features with the addition of chat channels. We will be sharing more specific information in the coming weeks. As with all of our previous games, we will support StarCraft II for many years to come. Your feedback and participation is critical in making this not only the best game it can be, but also the most engaged gaming community in the world. We look forward to the implementation of patch 1.1, as well as sharing our plans for our future gameplay and Battle.net features. God dammit it's never going to happen. | ||

But since the gateway is going down quicker, it'll probably have to be towards the end of the gateway almost finsihing. That way you can get it up just in time to keep the lings out. Which if the timing from above are right would be around 85 or 90 seconds. That shoudl have it going up when the 6 or 7 pool lings are on their way over | ||

We have several balance changes in store. One general change we're making is that friendly units will no longer provide vision after being killed. Enemy units previously revealed will no longer be targetable. Especially on ramps. | ||

The reason being is he has to catch up on economy with lots of larvae, while Protoss is perfectly safe making units and probes. To add insult to injury, Protoss is able to reach higher tech trees faster (with enough economy to support them quite well), making for an easy win should you press your tech advantage. (Stargate is quite nice in this position, as you have enough Warpgates to keep your Void Rays safe, and it stops any mutalisk all-in, not to mention roaches and lings cant hit air ^^) Do you feel like Blizzard limiting your options as a toss player in how agressive you can be early game PvZ? I know its hard to comment on a patch that you never played yet, but from the outside it almost looks like PvZ for toss will be how ZvT was for zerg. Your just forced to play defensive now as 2 gating goes out the door. | ||

Will be nice for Zerg players having that window of time that they have the armour upgrade before the damage upgrade is finished for tanks. We will have to see what zerg players are able to come up with in regards to that. | ||
