Once again, if this is true, first they removed the hit chance nerf up cliffs from SC1, and now they do this stupid sight thing? High ground would be nearly useless at this point. Every protoss army has sentries, so they can now see up cliffs, and therefore forcefield up cliffs forever. Ehhh, we might as well play on completely flat maps. Of course, I'm assuming it isn't true, but we'll see. | ||

And overlords dropping creep while flying would be interesting to watch because it needs some time now when they stand still to drop creep and inflight it would such a narrow creeppath. | ||

And it's so much cooler to see more zerg drops, but I think Blizzard would prefer to stimulate Nydus still, by keeping OLs slow. So this hints to a (clever) fake. We'll see. | ||

Obvioulsy im skeptical in general anyway, but the ones that most standout as a bit 'wtf?' are: - Carrier cost increased from 350 minerals 250 gas to 400 minerals 250 gas. - Carriers now spawn with four Interceptors prebuilt. Carriers alrdy spawn with four interceptors i think? Unless this WAS the case at one point and they removed it, cos i definitely remember building carriers and them spawning straight away with 4 interceptors, but i havent built carriers in a while... And the cost increase without some other boost seems downright bizzare to nerf a unit that alrdy sees little to no play-time in high level play... - Overlord upgraded speed increase from 1.875 to 2.344. Whilst the base speed upgrade makes sense (allowing z to actualy scout the whopping amount of gay shit the other races can throw at them off 1-base), i dont really see a major need for this one ^_~ - Planetary Fortress build time decreased from 50 to 40 seconds. This one seems downright retarded... seriously i dont understand this one at all, is anyone really complaining that planetary fortress's are too weak so they need to build quicker? If a T is greedy and expands to a spot it cant defend you should get a window to punish them, and i hardly think 50 seconds is too large of a window :\ | ||

Balancing macro mechanics...good I hope this fulfills peoples' hopes for some sort of Zerg space control mechanic. Everything is just...bleh... I don't care too much for number tweaks. | ||

No one complains about the fortress taking too long to build and someone making a fake would have no reason to include this, however, blizzards reasons may be less obvious to us. Yes, reading this change was actually the one that made me think this was real, it's exactly the sort of left field, arbitrary change you see in Blizzard patch notes. Makes no sense for 1v1, but it's so small it's not really going to make much of a difference anyway, and it's usually to fix some weird timing in FFA or co-op against the AI or something. On the other hand the bit about psyonic units seeing the air plane or whatever screams fake to me, it's exactly the kind of weird contrived change that you see people on forums making up on a daily basis - it's really badly worded and sounds like the sort of thing that someone spent 10 minutes thinking about without seeing any of the possible consequences and exploits. Blizzard have already stated they want the vision mechanic to be as simple and clear cut as possible, this change seems to fly in the face of that. Regardless this is a very intriguing post and the most convincing set of 'leaked' patch notes so far. | ||

It would be among the most idiotic changes Blizzard has done. Oh, and how bout the fact that Carriers already start with 4 interceptors. That's a buff to an almost useless unit in the current game, the CD on chrono could pretty much replace a zealot nerf. It actually won't affect high level players very much at all. Zerg can't scout properly in the current patch, and they're the race that relies on scouting well. Any small buff to zerg scouting helps them play the reactive game they need to vs Terran and Protoss and will help make those relatively difficult matches more balanced for zerg. Also the ovi moves very slowly while vomiting creep early game, so I fail to see the problems that will cause, if anything it will make queens a bit more useful. So I don't think anything you've listed is an example of imbalance. | ||
