A) zergs know how to handle thors with mutas now B) marines are bio it seems like terran has no strong AA to deal with baneling/muta, besides Ghosts, which are way too expensive to handle mutas decently anyway. Yeah... stupid magic box is ruining my thor's day -_- So.... can't we still mech vs a Zerg, but much more like a TvP BW style? Crawl toward them with turrets which are still amazing + a few rines vs mutas? | ||

PvP is borderline awful on 2 player maps and stuff like blistering. Really looking forward to PvP being more about lategame/midgame than LOL PYLONS IN UR BASE LULULUL Overall the changes are good. I mean there could have been more (yamato costs more plz, banshees can't cloak, or can only cloak for certain amounts of time, and -damage vs ground, or something...) and definitely could have been some tech lab cost increases (concussive up to 75/75, tech lab up to 50/50), but this is a good step. | ||

Only really disappointed by Ultralisk nerf, and no decrease in it's size! Zealot nerf is a little funky, although I like the Warp Gates nerf. | ||

The tank change will certainly make upgrades more valuable, 0-0 tanks not being able to one shot 0-1 lings. Also make it interesting to use Templar/Chargelot vs Marine/tank combos. The reaper change... I just don't know. I know I don't like the idea of a unit that if you micro at 300 apm becomes godlike but is junk without it. I'm also not a huge fan of what TvZ could have become. Being put on the back foot the entire early game unless you play perfectly to end up on even terms in the mid game isn't all that much fun. However I also know the matchup was evolving and players were definitively finding ingenious ways of dealing with it... That and even if I love Zerg... I love the little Jet pack suckers ever since they showcased them a long time ago, and now I feel like it's becoming the Scout of SCBW. I don't mind at all if the 5 Rax Reaper goes out of style, but I would love to see some mid to late game use of this unit that doesn't involve: "Well if your opponent doesn't notice you not producing units for 30 minutes and the cloud of jetpacks going to the back of your mineral line." | ||

Crawl toward them with turrets which are still amazing + a few rines vs mutas? imo the mech style would be viking/tankstyle, with some vikings being grounded depending on how many you need vs mutas at the time, along with many turrets On August 28 2010 07:41 bendez wrote: This tank nerf absolutely does nothing to zerg. So what are we suppose to use to counter tanks? zerglings? Broodlords... | ||

Good changes overall, although I'm not a big fan of the battlecruiser change and I wish that the siege tank change made a bigger difference in TvT. Nice work Blizzard, these proposed changes really show that they're analyzing all aspects of the game and not just giving into whining. | ||

When attacking 1-armor buildings (the vast majority), 1 Marauder will do slightly more damage than 2 Marines; and when attacking buildings with more than 1 armor (Spine Crawlers have armor 2 and PF has base armor 3), Marauders pull ahead significantly. | ||

HasoObs RAGED HARD during the games against LuciferoN because of his marauder only play. Tester complained on multiple occassions about imbalance when he was beaten to pupl by Ensnares marauder only play, there is even a replay up on youtube where he complains about it. Socke also said something if i remember correctly, not sure what it was thought.

However hydra is just such a bad unit vs terran the tank nerf does not make it viable IMO. Reapers own them Helions own them Marauders are cost effective against them Marines are cost effective against them Thors are cost effective against them I'd bet tanks are still pretty efficient against them I do not see a place for the hydra in T even with these changes. Maybe I'm wrong though,... And what about T should do now. Having the best defense in the game I always assumed should lead to great harass potential brat-ok style. Drop everywhere and harass opponent to death as he cannot enter your base. Instead of just turtling in a base whole game then roll out and win this seems like a much more reasonable tactic. | ||

I didn't say anything about it being imbalanced. Just because you buff things to make them catch up to other powerful things doesn't mean that it's going to cause some huge imbalance for some reason. This is what I'm trying to emphasize: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=120471 | ||
