The ultra nerf was 100% necessary. I posted a replay on the strategy forums a bit ago where my 180 food army got annihilated by 7-9 ultras even though my army was far more expensive and I had a good anti-ultra composition. The general consensus was "wtf, that is retarded".

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.

It's all situational. Immortals and plenty of storms can be pretty much unbeatable as long as you pick your battles. I've seen many Zergs control the entire map but lose to a Protoss building up to 200/200 on much fewer bases.

I like the changes.

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.

Isn't the Ultra 'nerf' actually buff from what they said? "the Ram attack is actually outputting considerably less overall damage than its normal attack, as Ram only hits a single target."

I'm a Terran player, and I'm interested to see how well Siege tanks are going to perfrom now. .

White-ra also complained about them, not sure if it was about them specificly or more general about terrans.

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.



correct me if i am wrong, but Zealots where also considered Small -> only took 50% as well.

Where is the infestor buff?

"We feel the window players have to scout for and fend off this rush is too small. 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."

I swear, the chrono boost is more of a curse than a blessing.

Everything that can be chrono boosted can potentially come out/finish too fast, so Blizzard makes those processes take longer. That said, protoss players can't chrono boost everything.
