I wish they had gone a different route when balancing the races...they seem to have the "nerf each race until they are all balanced" mindset

If they think tanks BC's and reapers are too powerful, then they should have buffed P and Z up to T's standards, not nerf everything IMO

anyways now my wallin in PvZ is going to take 10 more seconds to be zergling tight... =\... yay

but at least those OP OP ultras got a nerf (/sarcasm)

You know I reallly don't like the zealot nerf because I use zealots very heavily in my terran matchups as a transition to templar... I don't like collossi. It almost seems to me that blizz recognized how powerful templar play is even though not a ton of people do it and they nerfed it.

I mean I do play random but I think these changes are going to cause signifigant shakeups in how I play.



"We also want to address the problem of protoss being able to dump minerals a bit too quickly with the combination of warpgates and Chrono Boost."

This nerf mainly effects proxy gate and korean warp. I'm not going to get upset because the two dominant cheese and or all in strategies in PvP have been nerfed.

And if you use zealots heavily in your trans to templar, you'll be happy to know that tanks now do 30% less damage to them. So as long as you get charge, you should be cutting through those marine and marauders pretty well especiall with a few sentries to FF the escape.
.


how have they been nerfed? how has korean warpgate been nerfed? the counter to korean warpgate was... to make zealots to stop it.

If a zerg is able to get to the late game, I'm pretty sure they'll be doing fine most of the time. They need to nerf reapers (and I don't mean with just 5 more seconds of build time) and they need to nerf marauders. Enough with the ultralisk. Removing the ram is nice since it lets ultralisks do more damage against buildings, but there are more bigger things that need to be changed.

Since I play protoss I'm kinda satisfied with changes
I counter 7 pool by complete wallof so I don't think extra 5 sec on zealot will hurt me so much
BCs and tanks were units I had most problem against... especially on 1v1 maps... I just hope terrans will forget to use hellions as they used to : )
as for longer warpgates cd I think protoss will have to learn to Chrono boost warpgates (as we honestly should) or simply throw in extra gates mid game

as for zvt I think changes are awesome
No longer is engaging terran out of position so obligatory and if I understand Ultras well now they'll actually kill scvs repairing planetary fortresses with splash damage (?)
correct me if I'm wrong but to me this feels like ultra buff not nerf (smarted attacks > 5 dmg vs armored) (?)

Because things already have inflated damage and stats as it is. its time to start toning it down.

45 second reapers what the fuck. >:[
Same thing with the bunker nonsense. TLO (as zerg) has already shown us how stupidly easy it is to deal with bunker+marine. >:[
And siege tanks...remember back when they used to deal 60 damage all around? I'm not even sure what they're used for anymore...

The worst part is that now Zerg players are being conditioned that solving their own gameplay problems is unnessessary, since Blizzard will come and wave their magic wand for them every time they cry loud enough. >:[

Well he had more points than anyone else last time I checked the rankings, but now he's only in the top 10. So my bad.

Oh yeah and it was mentioned before, but.... wtf?

ctrl+f "marauder"

notice anything?...it's not there

They think reapers are too good vs zerg, but marauders aren't too good vs protoss?

I would much rather have a small imba towards terran early game over a large imba towards terran midgame.

Besides, a 5 second delay isn't exactly a nerf. The zealots are still just as strong, they just take longer to build. 5 seconds longer, this has almost no effect on long term macro. If anything, you should worry more about 6 pool and 8 pool on maps like Steppes of War where 5 seconds can actually make a difference.

Points is the only way we have of comparing people since blizzard won't say anything about the true ranking system. Since there is a very strong mathematical correlation between the ranks on blizzard's top 200 and the point rankings on sc2ranks.com, I think it's safe to make statements like this.

And by "very strong mathematical correlation" I mean "the spearman rank correlation coefficient between blizz top 200 rank and points is very strongly negative".

All good. Thanks Blizz.

Issues resolved :
Strenght of Protoss All-in Gate pushes v All
Strenght of Mass Reaper v Zerg
Rediculousness of Tanks even in small numbers as a support (who needs Medivacs when you got Tanks?)
Absurd uselessness of Ultras against PF and depot/turret lines (See Idra vs Drewbie on Kulas)

And about the 6-pool rush becoming too strong vs Toss, you people are just talking through your hats.
Here are the numbers:
Gateway + Chrono-boosted zealot now :
65 + 24.75 = 89.75 secs
After patch :
65 + 28.5 = 93.5 secs

That's 3,75 secs... Just send your scout 1 food earlier. Or if you're really that upset, open with Forge 45 + Cannon 40 = 85 secs.
That's almost 5 seconds more than what you have now. It's perfectly safe.


Chrono Boost lasts 20 seconds and increases production speed by 50%. Since the added amount (50%) is 1/3 of the new total (150%), this means all Chrono Boost does is knock 6.66 seconds off whatever is being made, which is where the flaw in your maths lies.

Gateway + Chrono boosted Zealot now:
65 + (33 - 6.66) = 91.33 seconds

After patch:
65 + (38 - 6.66) = 96.33 seconds

Chrono Boost isn't some magic speed boost that makes everything magical and fast, all it does is knock 6.66 seconds off whatever is being made.

Actually I'm pretty sure chrono boost knocks off 10 seconds.

I might be wrong but here's my reasoning:

50% faster build time for 20 seconds gives 30 seconds worth of build time.
In that 20 seconds you build the same as 30 seconds unchronoboosted = 10 seconds saved

As a zerg I have to say I like all the changes, but not the zealot or the BC nerf. They're both totally unnecessary.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Both are horrible and vermin infested.
