All in all I think that in all matchups mid-game as well as transitions to late-game will be very interesting. May seem shortsighted because I'm no expert though. ps: thanks to Blizzard for listening to community, and thanks for updates and services provided. | ||

Ultralisk change is...I dunno, doesn't seem to be too big a deal either. But nerfing zealots...I dunno, maybe would have been better nerfing void rays. Zealots are a bit too essential to be nerfed; against Terran the EMP bio ball (which remained completely untouched by the nerfs) Toss is going to have an even harder time. Hopefully we don't see Toss also get wrecked by 6pool in lower tier games too much. If the entire chronoboost/warpgate mechanic is going to be nerfed, it had better just be to discourage proxies and not actually kill all hope of Toss macro. In addition to the zealot nerf, if this means that I only have 15 zealots when I would normally be able to have 25.... Lights out! EMP + MMM ball = gg. Heck, even speedlings can get the surround off a lot easier with toss having fewer units. | ||

They seemed pretty ineffective against Zerg, from my experience, at least. In my experience yes Zealot proxies are very hard to deal with as T. Unless you scout at 8 food or so and can scout the proxy AND make a bunker in time and have marines.. I'm probably not an expert but as a Plat player I lost to it like almost always.  | ||

However I'm not certain if increasing the build time (on reapers) is always the good way to go. People will just plop down another barracks. I doubt minerals is the limiting factor. Tanks are too powerful because of their smart targeting, they will still demolish ranged units that are light like hydras too well and severely damage clumped lings/zealots. It's not as much their damage. I remember the Ultra ram thread on TL. I also remember someone saying that perhaps it was intentional to make it so Ultras weren't too strong of a building destroyer. And as always, KISB, Keep it simple Blizzard. | ||

The first 2 reapers have to move out 10 seconds later than before. The 3rd+4th ones will be 15 seconds later than before. The 5th+ will be at least 20 seconds later. It takes until you have a very big ball of reapers to make an extra barracks start to make up for it. | ||

You can still reach these 10 - 14 reaper numbers using good control. i rather wanted to see zerg buffed than reaper nerfed in this way because even with 5 second delay per reaper nothing has really changed. They will simply not build as many reapers, well controlled reapers will still do their job. Giving terran an expansion, map control and setting up for big bio play. | ||

Siege tank nerf was was good, and the other nerfs seem good for TvZ, I feel like PvT's early to midgame makes it very hard for toss to make it to late game without a disadvantage, and by late game they are barely even at best anyway. | ||

Blizzard would never single a unit dmg type like that. | ||
