I'm sure banelings are going to do a LOT better against marine/tank balls now. The main target still gets one shot, but the ones around it shouldn't get one shot anymore. that's awesome.

You have to get an early zealot out in order to deal with a reaper, especially if you get your 2nd pylon before a core.

What? You have to get an early stalker out to deal with a reaper, Zealots can't even catch them and get kited to hell.


while he kite your zealot he dont focus on probe

Or he could focus your probes while avoiding your zealot.

he dont 1 shot probe so just move your probe bfr he die, he cant follow him or he will get hit be the zealots

So I'm under the assumption that NP is never going to be set for unlimited duration . Nice changes, but Terran is still my choice.

LOL Protoss nerfed AGAIN.

Every race was nerfed again...

I think they probably nerfed Protoss unnecessarily this time, though. Other than that, I like the changes (wasn't using ultras anyways ^^).


Ultras got very slightly nerfed on damage, but now they cleave on buildings (actually a huge buff). They're pretty insane still. Tanks are now a shadow of their former selves, and Warp Gates have been savagely nerfed. Zerg gets away light on this patch.

Already happening. See any protoss in the final 16 in IEM? Nope. Just 50% T, 50% Z.

Now it's going to be 75% Z, 25% T. (rough estimates)

Hmm so tanks do know the same amout of damage to light(small?) units then in BW and are more expensive in food and gas but have smartfire? Well having tanks as support to your bio will be alot weaker in tvp and I wonder if they still can kill banelings effectively.(They only have 30 health but how much splash dmg will tanks do now to not armored?).

Also who has a big problem with bc? They are so weak against air and you can feedback them and then use voidrays against them. I don´t think this was really a needed change.

Well lets see how this plays out.

Yay i like these changes but there are more things id like to see such as
1) tech lab time increased to equal reactor
2) BC build time increased to 110
3) Bunker build time increased by 10 seconds OR salvage returns 75% resources from 100%

These arnt hate-on Terran nerfs for I am but a mere unbiased random player, I just think it would be better balanced



the only problem with #1 is that increasing the time will mean that reaper harass will be absolutely pointless then and reapers will be useless since they arent able to get out on the field early enough. i havent played the game for a while (studies) and understand that reapers are op. However the nerf you stated will just completely destroy the usage of the reaper.

hmm...#3 well increasing the build time wont matter too much since it will be the same in the end (make a bunker, defend, and salvage for absolutely nothing.) 75% is fine imo maybe 80%.

Maybe players should stop using reapers only early game and start using them more creatively throughout the entirety of the game.



yea, but i mean sc2 has been out for less than a month. You cant just expect players to make changes to their gameplay that quick. It took sc years to evolve. You saying that increasing the build time of the tech lab will balance stuff. It wont since no one has found a good way to implement reapers late game other than scouting/maybe killing a few peons. You've got to let the game evolve.

and another poster said that this will screw timings, then you said it will help to make the game balanced. Hmmmm....when a person has to regrow their timings it causes the game to become unbalanced.

and with this suggestion, t's may die to early stalker/roach rushes.

I understand what you are saying Its just that if the game is broken in any way, (not saying that it is) and it evolves when its broken, then that is obviously bad. The fact that its only been out for a month is more of a reason to change it now instead of later imo. It may screw up the metagame a for a little while but if it helps perfect SC2 in the long run then i'm all for it
Also since terran can wall off + bunkers, I think a fast roach/stalker rush could be potentially lethal, but if you scout well then Terran would be more than capable of defending. In fact, I think it would be better if Protoss and Zerg had an additional option to put tons of pressure on Terran early without going all-in.
I could be full of it but its just my opinion. ^^


yea, i wasnt trying to sound like a smartass or anything.

And your right, if the game evolves if its broken, AND then blizz releases a new patch, it may be devastating for the game.

Very true, the Protoss's at IEM just didn't play to their potential. Watch out for HuK at MLG.

I've played wow off and on through every expansion so nothing blizz does surprises me anymore.

Reaper nerf clearly indicates blizzard does not understand that the unit itself is OP, not the time it takes to build them.

Tank nerf was a tad overdone but I understand why they wanted to nerf tanks, they were a little too effective.

Battlecruiser nerf was ok but it doesn't impact most games.

Ultralisk nerf was ok specifically because they nerfed terran ground a little.

Zealot nerf and warp-in nerf were pretty extreme. proxy 2 gate is only a major issue on 2 player maps, on those maps zerg was the weakest vs proxy 2 gate, and zerg has ways of scouting it. A good zerg won't lose to a proxy 2 gate, because they can hold with lings queen and spinecrawlers into roaches or mass lings to threaten backdoor.

Protoss mid-late game already felt like it was playing catch up the whole time and now their meatshields will be harder to mass over time.

If you played wow you understand that blizzard's idea of balance is not what competitive players consider balance, you would have to understand blizzard's motives to understand why they do everything they do, and none of us know what their goals are. Is it to appease silver players? Is it to appease diamond players? Who knows where their priorities are.
True skill comes without effort.

In 99% of scenarios he can still follow the probe, kill it and not get hit by the zealot. Before you get a stalker out you really can't deal with a reaper.

For those complaining about the zealot nerf:

As a zerg player, I rarely die to a straight up 2gate zealot rush. The problem that zerg has vs 2gate is that it just takes too many lings to fend off and cuts into our drone production more than it should. A 2gate into expand is way too strong and in most cases, zerg will be behind in the mid game due to it.

I agree that this makes cheesy 6pools a bit too effective, I don't think we have to worry about that type of play at the highest level.

Overall, I am pretty happy with the changes. Zerg should no longer be the 100% defensive/reactionary race in the early game. Whenever i scout a rax with tech lab or 2gate, I just can't leave my base. Now, I will be able to use a few lings to poke around
