I would much prefer to see some Zerg buff. This is a common misconception. If they buff zerg to handle terran better, and to handle early game 2 gate proxy zealot rushes, then zvp is in zergs favor by far, and zvt is balanced. | ||

Zerglings would still die on mass but I would think much more lings and banelings could make it to a tank line, not to mention hydras. +1 ground armor for zerg suddenly became a must have in ZvT... | ||

In one the the many interviews a developer stated, that it's actually not an AI-thing with the overkill, it's in the engine, when units attack every unit attacks at a different time (just some ms difference) and because tanks hit instantly they cant overkill Did you read the post? Bolded the part you missed. | ||

Zerg will still struggle in the early game against Terran because well, nothing changed except the reaper build time which won't change the fact that Zerg is still "behind" because of the scouting issues and the hellion AND reapers are way too effective at what they do. Zerg will have a harder timer against Protoss in late game. Terran will still be the most powerful race, the most forgiving to mistakes and the easiest to play. Way to "adress" the issues Blizzard! | ||

They do a lot of damage, sure, but they're just so easily kited by units that it doesn't matter. BCs are actually ridiculously strong supported by vikings lategame against zerg, hydras melt to them, corruptors are slightly more cost effective against them, but once the BCs die, they are hard to use except for broodlords, but that basically means that the zerg player is overly committed to this tech against BCs which can actually come out pretty quickly. That being said, this is a pretty substantial nerf. | ||

This means that all those scv's that repair it are going down really really fast, and so is the PF. And i can imagine my supply plummeting now with an ultra lawn mower loose in my base cutting down my supply depots. yeah, the only thing I'll miss is the funny head-butt animation x) | ||

The battlecruiser nerf was probably unecessary too, as the game was pretty much decided by then, but it shouldn't really matter. | ||

Can terran even engage hydras with them at 35 damage? | ||

A little more viable, but not by much. Tanks not overkilling really makes it harder for them to kill each other. | ||

It was another factor contributing to Zerg's really limited early game. Even Idra? What is that suppose to mean? You take the whiniest player in the entire communities opinion on balance and act like it proves something? LOL | ||
