perfectly fair imo(dunno about intended its blizzard afterall), zerg always had to invest 10x resources to kill PF which was basically static defense with only one flaw - you wouldnt get orbital, still the sacriface is beneficial in some cases for terrans (gold expo) but now its not "oh ok i have PF there i dont care about defending it". I would discuss more about Thor/Collosus focus firing with Ultra as being OP if its really working that way.

also i think most ppl in this thread who are defending this dont see the obvious point: that blizz made us wait for weeks for a shit patch that changed nothing and included a bug that should have been obvious if they tested it at all



If they are hitting half your army then they were doing it before this patch as well. The only listed change is their mechanic versus buildings (and possibly a reduction in their splash range? which some above posts hint at).


i thought their splash damage now originates from the unit being hit, and that the effect wasnt limited to buildings?

i dunno. there is so many idiots in this thread its baffling. its like if zerg was weak in bw and ppl would argue after the invincible sunken colony bug that this was exactly what zerg needed to get even

ITS A FUCKING BUG YOU FUCKING MORONS SO STOP ARGUING THAT IT WILL IMPROVE ZERG OMFG

It's an OVERSIGHT by blizzard

cleave is working the exact way it was coded to, the exact same way it works on units

Blizzard just neglected to actually test their patch and this happens.

Hyperbole deluxe, let me hear how rushing to ultras vs T just to attack an undefended PF which won't get repaired.

This is NOT such a major change. It will certainly have its uses if it stays, but it's absolutely not a game changer as some very specific conditions must be met. It counters something which has been arguably even more broken, namely SCVs keeping a PF alive indefinitely.

I think it stays.

Dude, problem isn't Ultra vs Marauder. Problem is with big units, when Ultra hits Thor it will hit all units around it in 2 radius. which means that if it attacks Thor it can attack 10 marauders around it.



Which means you should learn to spread your units out. Oh no, more than 1 control group for 200/200 army? brb crying imba

If you've got colossi in a spot where an ultralisk can hit it, that's your fault for having bad micro. If you've got a wall of stalker/zealots out front where they should be, an ultra can't even touch it.



Oh why don't we have Blizzard increase tank splash radius to like 6 and when u QQ, we'll just let you know that u gotta micro your zerglings so that they're spread apart.

The problem here is that it's a bug, that it goes against the game mechanism.


the thing is you terran's are always telling zergs to work on "xxx". Its more of a joke anyway with what zergs are saying don't take it so offensively xD. Its not like this breaks the game anyway lol and as far as I know (I could be wrong of course) the Ultra splash for units is the same as it was pre-patch the only thing that was changed was the attack to buildings and Thors don't count as buildings last I checked.
When I think of something else, something will go here

It really doesn't matter if you agree or not at this point; Blizzard said that it was an unintended side-effect and will be changed. If Blizzard decides that the PF and/or mass repair needs to be nerfed then it will be nerfed. However turning Ultras into "cyclones of death" when they are attacking a cc/nexus/hatch isn't a reasonable solution at all.

Personally as a terran player I think the PF w/ mass repair is a bit rediculous, but it has fallen under the radar because all the pro's use OC's for mules so that is what everyone else does. PF at my natural has saved me numerous times from agressive pushes. Another thing people fail to realize is that by keeping your workers safe you save money and have a better economy. OC allows mules, but if harassment kills your workers or your expansion gets overrun that cuts into any economic advantage the mules give you.

That being said trying to justify insane ultra AoE by claiming it's "needed" because of the power of the PF w/ mass repair isn't a logical argument at all. You don't fix something that's OP by making something else even more OP. Use some common sense here folks.

"Ultralisk
+ Ram ability removed. Ultralisk will now use normal attack against buildings.
+ Damage decreased from 15 (+25 armored) to 15 (+20 armored).
"
That's all they changed for the Ultra. It only affected buildings (and their surroundings, since their normal attack has splash), whatever they did to a unit and the surroundings of the unit before this patch should be the same.

Blizzard confirmed it as a bug, dunno why it's still being argued over. This hardly is game breaking, which is probably why they haven't rushed to change it yet.

who says ultras are supposed to be nerfed?

getting rid of the ram attack was intended to be an improvement

also, it's stupid to call something a bug that's working exactly how they said it would work

DotA actually worked in that way to some extent.. every hero is OP in one way or another. ! Especially those 5x AoE denial combo ^_^ ES, Tide, Void, etc. But there was always a way to take them down. Singling them out. Or in this case, avoid repairing/camping next to your buildings.

Also, just because you lost those 30 SCVs... you could drop alllllllllllll your mules to recoup the losses.. I'm sure you've seen those high level plays where Terran comes back from the brink of death plenty of times.

It's not working how they said it would work. They gave the example of it doing more damage to depots which would be tightly built together. They had no intentions of making units magically die with out being hit by the actual pincers. It looks ridiculous and it's broken as all hell. No one on here believes it should stay, no one is that stupid. I'm sorry but 1 ultralisk should not mean abandon base or you lose all your SCV's and PF.


I wish Blizzard would get their act together as this is pretty game breaking. I hope we don't see it in the GSL.

Terran logic - It doesn't look realistic, and kills ma fortress and scvs.

MUST BE A BUG, SINCE ZERG CAN'T NORMALLY DO THAT.

You fail to notice that this concerns all terran building, now you can't repair anything ultras attack? How's that fair. If you try to repair your wall your scvs and stuff standing next to it will die?
I'm not going to jugde weather or not this is a bug I'm just saying it's broken.
