I am excited to see what the changes they are making that arn't listed here are, as I expect there will be a few. I am also equally excited to try playing with these new changes and actually be able to use hydras vs terran now... | ||

TvP: Tanks were fine vs protos. But they are pretty weak now. You have to go bio vs protos. Perhaps mixed in with some hellions. Still not sure how terran is supposed to win late game vs chargelots + HT. The terran really needs much better mechanics. Tvz: I think the change was fine. They were too strongs vs an unit like the hydra, and seems pretty balanced right now vs zerg. Would have liked to see blizzard buff 250mm cannon instead of nerfint the ultra. | ||

Whats more interesting is that now only 1 ling dies from a tank shot, instead of the entire group. | ||

Also the zealot changes are unfortunate... suddenly zerg is stronger in close positions and they already had the advantage in long positions so wtf at least this is how it seems to me... | ||

Agreed. It's gonna be a real pain. Looks like 10/10 is the new standard PvZ. Lolol. | ||

Zealot rushes are currently too powerful at various skill levels, particularly those that rely on rapidly assaulting an enemy base from nearby "proxy" gateways. According to Blizzard, scouting isn't as important anymore. "Currently too powerful at various skill levels"... Ugh. | ||

Anyway, I really think 6pool will be stupidly powerful against P now. Maybe a 5 second increase to spawning pool build time would be good; it delays the 6pool by the 5 seconds more it takes to get your 1st zealot out but the 2gate still won't be as powerful. | ||

i agree with the warpgate nerf in that it will force boosts and hurt one-base play (need more than 1 nexus, discourages heavy boosting of nexus, maybe gives P a more purposeful use for boost). i disagree strongly with the gateway nerf, mostly because of the numbers some known protoss players have posted for getting a zealot against a 6 pool (lol@people suggesting to sacrifice a pylon). i think ultra nerf will work out fine for Z players versus T as zerglings won't be so utterly annihilated by tanks and lings are often the mineral sink when using ultras. | ||

No early game Terran tank crawling to my nat sounds lovely  160 seconds v 140 seconds 150/150 v 100/100 although everyone upgrades Z ground armor asap, and I never seen terran vech upgrades, this might be interesting dynamic indeed, siege tanks relegated to base turtle I hope :D On August 28 2010 04:36 Wr3k wrote: Whats more interesting is that now only 1 ling dies from a tank shot, instead of the entire group.

Sieged tanks now do less base damage to units of both light and armored types than unsieged tanks. eg. Unsieged damage per unit time (before and after this potential patch): light 14.4 armored 24 sieged damage per unit time (before patch): light 16.7 armored 16.7 sieged damage per unit time (after patch): light 11.6 armored 16.7 Before, sieged did more base damage to light, now it does less damage to both types. So the only benefit to sieged tanks as a result of this patch is range and splash. These benefits are more difficult to analyze because the sieged tank will have variable dps in addition to its unsieged mode depending on its sight and the speed of its target traveling through its sight range. As well as the number and "clumpness" of those target units. However, it's easy to imagine many scenarios where there's no reason to siege at all. Will this lead to balance? Maybe. But it might seriously alter the function of one of the coolest units in the SC universe. Source and method: + Show Spoiler + http://sc2armory.com/game/terran/units/siege-tank base damage per unit time = (damage + bonus)/speed note: total base damage might be larger for sieged because added sight means a target is fired upon for a longer duration. | ||

Previous to this patch, odds were on like 3-5 Protosses, though. Like Tester said in an interview, Terran and Protoss benefit a lot from quick hands. Balance is a bit different at the top of the Korean server. | ||

You won't lose as many workers because they have that little no-collision trick you can use.ZvP, you typically build at the front door. If you are getting 6 pooled, that first 100 goes into the zeal and if you need to pull off mining, you won't have another 100 for a second zeal. Zerg can just alternate between attacking your pylon, picking stray probes and hitting your nexus and you won't be able to get them. If you don't pull off to address lings at the pylon, it will certainly go down before your zeal pops I didn't say wait until the zerglings get to your mineral line. | ||
