The zealot nerf is unfortunate, but I'm really not worried about it except in one circumstance:

The 1 marine + 2 marauder + 1 reaper push from 1 barracks. You already have barely enough time to get out the zealot and stalker, and have to pull probes to hold it off, so now it'll be even harder to hold.


At least we know this isn't a complete set of notes, so there's still hope.

Man I've been hoping for 35 base damage with a bonus to armored for siege tanks for awhile now. That would make their damage work almost exactly like it did in Broodwar. Now the critical mass for tank lines vs zealots is bigger, which should force the T to actually have to commit to them instead of adding a few for support, and they don't one shot carapace upgraded zerglings without committing to upgrades. Basically forcing Terran to commit to things is good, and these balance changes are slight enough not to break the game.

Ok, so now ultralisk without ram, how zerg will be taking down planetary fortresses?

That tank nerf makes me so happy, it will be nice to possibly be able to engage tanks now.

The BC nerf was definitely needed, the only real counter was with air units.

Zealot change was very unexpected though. Not sure how that will play out.

Reaper/Bunker changes seem good, I'd really have liked a change to make salvage only return 80-90% of the cost though. Just seems dumb making them essentially free.

Ultraliks nerf seems a bit to much. Otherwise it seems reasonable.

Also, yeah Blizzard we really want chat channels

Ram made ultralisks worse against planetary fortresses. Ultras base attack did around the same dps as the ram attack, but also has a 33% splash at a range of 2. So, now the ultra will be doing a little less dps against the pf, but it'll also be hitting some scvs most of the time.

35, +15 vs. armored

Do tanks deal full splash to zergling swarms? that value seems very... precise

Bunker build time needs to be 40 seconds IMO.


Zerglings and Hydras will be more viable against Tanks now I guess. Lings will no longer get one shot until tanks are upgraded and Hydras will be able to tank muchos hits.

Guess this makes it important that you cover your tank line with blue flame Hellions.

That's probably an incomplete change list, but yeah, siege tank change is definitely needed, as a zerg player I'm sick of being rolled by 3 tanks sitting on a choke point when I'm up 50 pop whilst his turrets pick off whatever mutas I have attacking them.

Zealot change seems a little unnecessary, warpgate was necessary but seriously, 38 seconds for a zealot seems kind of ridiculous if you think about it, even in smaller maps, as zerg I don't find a 2 gate push hard at all to fend off.

Also thank god for the desert oasis change, although now Terrans will have a humungous choke for spamming tanks on, not that it matters now they're nerfed . wtb cliff nerf patch.

This is about perfect; only not sure about the BC nerf. They were already hard-countered by corruptors, void rays, and vikings.

Given the siege tank nerf, the ultra damage nerf is appropriate; they tore through ground armored units just a little too well.
You'll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

Hydras?


Indeed. Going from 2-shotting hydras to 3-shotting hydras is a pretty significant difference.

"Zealot rushes are currently too powerful at various skill levels" ? Who gives a rats ass if a silver level player can't deal with a zealot rush? I'm zerg and never really had that big of a problem stoping zealot rushs. Hell I dont see pro matchs where protoss players are winning massive amounts of games with proxy zealot rushs too. I can't say I understand that change to much. The siege tank change seems cool. Maybe now zerglings and zealots could be useful vs them. I like most of the other changes as well from the look of things.

This is interesting to say the least.. The tank nerf is quite severe, but odds are TvT might turn out a bit more bio centric now? Hm, interesting.

reason sounds very weird and if that tank change goes live youll see pretty much only bio in all matchups(even more so then now) .

Blizzard gives a rats arse as even silver league players are customers. Yeah, I don't agree with it. But they want low level players to buy the following expansions as well, not just the competitive ones.

Similar to the Forge change, proxy cannon rushes wasn't really a problem below platinum.
