The translation is terran turtled up and made mass battlecruisers and this is less "interesting gameplay" what fucked up reason to nerf something is this? Im not even saying that i agree or disagree, i mean its just one thing to come and say "Hey we looked into it and it seems this unit does too much damage" another thing is "Hey it seems that someone turtled to get battlecruisers (who the fuck does that ? i never saw anyone doing this in my games, i never saw anyone do this on pro level, seriously who the fuck does that? Were did they took this info from?) and it was boring so we are going to nerf this unit. Why arent carriers or broodlords nerfed too then? A toss for example could easly mass canon and create a "stalemate situation" (wich btw i actualy did saw alot in SC1) I will just pretend they are saying that its too strong vs land units (because obviously now i will make it mainly to counter air units...meh) and whatever. But yeah... i think overall its a good patch, i see were they were coming from with all those changes (excluding BC obviously), I get that they decided to nerf tanks because the mass QQ zergs were doing, but tbh zerglings/banelings were already a decent way to counter the tanks, not sure if this change isnt just overdoing it. Also it tips the scales abit on the zealots + HT toss combo. But yeah, i guess it is still alot better than those pro-lists with nerfs/buffs that are usualy posted in here by the QQers. I still dont get were Blizz gets their figures from but hey, atleast they arent listening to what all the whiners say. TLO did that in one or two casted games and just slaughtered hydras using cliffs and yamatos on Infestors. But that was more of an issue with cliffs on Kulas Ravine being broken with a critical mass of stacked air. I wonder about the tank nerf though. That is 3 shots to kill Hydras instead of 2. That's kinda a big deal. Likewise they also don't always insta-kill marines anymore. This also opens a +1 carapace timing window with zerglings where they take 2 shots from tanks. That just... doesn't feel right... However this makes Tanks less less likely to totally rape your own marines when broodlings are in play. ^_^ | ||

In this patch is the same thing 5 less dmg for tanks and reaper build time nerf to help early zerg game and thats all. but now they nerfing zealots for some reason and ultras so terran will get benefit in the long run plain and simple fyi the problems lie in ghosts , marauders , pf , viking 9 range , thor 10 range , steam and tanks 13 range and the splash dmg with the smart ai thing not the 50 or 45 dmg . | ||

I then used three tanks against a group of 9 not upgraded hydralisks and another force of 15 speed and carpace upgraded zerglings. Before I changed the Tanks they slaughtered both forces, 3 of the zerglings managed to come close enough to one of the tanks so it at least got hit by friendly fire. The hydralisks managed at best to kill 1 tank and almost bring down the other tank to near death. After the change the Zerglings at best killed all three tanks and 8 zerglings survived. The hydralisks took down all three tanks with 4 hydralisks still alive. My conclusion is that Tanks now are very viable to actually kill and that zerlings are worth making and flank Terrans Tanks with. | ||

Tanks... well now you get a unit that cost 150-125 and 3 suply that does 35 damage vs hydras, cracklings, banelings anyone???? and chargelots.... 5 more seconds to bunker build time... well now i'll get destroy by early pushes, usually my bunkers finish just in time for me to defend... will need to rework the timings... I usually play bio vs Zerg never was a fan of mech... now it won't be a choice... you will play bio or die XD | ||

Maps: So the destructible rocks provide a temporary defense, as opposed to just changing the map outright for Z/P players? You couldn't just narrow the entrances? I like the two paths to an opponents base, so perhaps 2 layers of rocks one side of each player's base (coupled with the narrowed entrances) would be in order. Protoss: It's sooooo time to proxy barracks rush them. Proxy rax and 6 pool rush is going to dominate them :\ Terran: Reapers are pretty much useless outside of Zerg, and now they're being made more useless. Fantastic. The build time increase is warranted, but something needs to be buffed to offset that changed, otherwise they're just never going to be used outside of cheese strats. Increasing their damage by +1 or +2 or adding 10 more HP, or giving them +10 hp with the shield upgrades that marines get (while still increasing their build time) would possibly see them mixed in with a Terran's main army in all 3 match ups. Zerg: Yeah, ok. Ultralisks don't already have pathing problems, now they're going to also reduce the damage they do? I could see this change justifiable if they added +1 range to ultralisks so they could hit over smaller units such as lings/blings. I have no comment on ram, except that I think buildings are destroyed a little too quickly in general by all things that do bonus damage vs. armored. I hope I'm wrong, but this shit looks ridiculous. | ||

Don't get me wrong I really like the Protoss and Terran nerfs but: 1. Marauders were completely unaddressed. A lot of Terran's imbaness against P is due to MMM being too strong. 2. Zerg was completely unchanged. I'm sure the last thing anyone expected was a NERF. I was expecting to see either a buff, but more hopefully, some kind of CHANGE. This is really disappointing. | ||

I think you over react, reaper is not useless anymore, I think you're wrong about his role in the game. He is not a unit to do additonnal dps to your base army reeaper is here to harrass the mineral line and attack undefended base. I see a lot of match where delay reaper were more effective when they were delai. | ||

Assuming this is accurate (I am not at a computer where I can check), this is a MASSIVE shift, definitely more than the 60->50 damage change. I would be interested to see how this affects the "critical mass" of tanks where it was essentially impossible for any ground army to ever get through if you had enough tanks - it may not even be possible anymore as with the reduced damage to light you need even more tanks, and due to spacing they will not necessarily have as much overlapping fire anymore. Curious to see how the BC nerf will turn out, it might make things like TLO's fast BCs non-viable now... too bad, hopefully it doesn't go the way of the carrier  | ||
