I'm going to revise my prediction that Cool will quit Zerg by the end of GSL 3 to he will quit by the end of GSL 1.
The poor chap is already in a fit of rage because Blizzard made Zerg difficult to respond to multiple dropships harassing your bases.
And did you see the GSL match between FruitSeller and oGsTOP? The guy looked like he came after the won game 3. He went into miracle worker mode and got rich enough to the point where mass Ultralisks were pocket change to him.

Yet Blizzard is taking the time to smell the roses and wipe their butts with Benjamins, enjoying the screams of anguish from Zerg players.

Why would Blizzard remove something that rewards high APM players? It didn't really cause imbalance in my opinion. Because high APM in SC2 is supposed to be about executing decisions fast rather than spamming right click on a mineral patch? It's not about imbalance, it's about game design.

Oh wait, we don't want Zerg to be able to win...!

Can someone explain/video exactly how Ultra building splash works now? You see the front of the ultra? The splash occurs right there to a fixed radius now when attacking buildings.
Does the splash to buildings only spread in this radius as well? So it could only splash like 2 supply depots at a time?

FFS, when's it going to come out for NA, i want to play =.=" Blizzard just ruined my day.

Glad to see mineral boosting go it was kinda dumb just holding C and spamming right click on the minerals. It isn't exactly the kind of thing id like to see determine the outcome of games. Frankly have trouble noticing when someone is sockfolding even though I know exactly how it works imagine trying to explain that kind of thing to a new sc2 viewer.
1. "why did that guy win that early battle?"
2. "sockfolding."
1. "what?"
2. "He spammed the return cargo command on his scvs while right clicking the minerals and it made them return minerals faster so he had more money to get 2 more zealots"
1. "How am I supposed to notice that?"
=\

His ultras cleaved a total of 4 marines, a siege tank, and 2 missile turrets that were not right adjacent to a PF over the course of both games. Uhhhhh, no , the bug won game 3 for him. He took out all those Thors and it was so obviously the bug, go ahead and see for your self.
Oh my god, it's always worked like this. The ultra splash has worked like that vs Thors since Beta day 1 in February, why would people concentrate on it now?

If ultralisk cleave was actually splashing outside a certain radius of the target this entire time and it was only first discovered when cleave was used on buildings, does that mean with this patch, ultras will be slightly weaker vs stalkers, immortals, thors, and tanks?

They killed the mineral trick. I can understand why, but it's annoying they don't leave these little 'extra things' only those with the APM to do it can do.
My APM is pathetic and I can still do this trick because there are no APM requirements at this point in the game. This came down 100% to you had an advantage if you happened to know the trick. That is just horrible game design and fixing the trick was the only smart option available. Leaving it in would prove Blizzard had no idea how to balance a game.

Mastering? It's so easy, I could keep it up with all my workers until like 12 or so after maybe 2-3 tries... it really doesn't take many hours of practice.
I'm extremely happy they removed it though, I hated being forced to do it just because my opponent could be doing it as well.

No, against units that was intended from the beginning and is still in.

not exactly true, from the start ultralisks did 100% damage splash in radius of 1.5 from the front of the unit. then it got changed to 2.0 radius and 33% splash, and then to 2.0 radius 33% splash from center of target and then finally to extended radius based on unit.

n1, 7% Mineral Boost remove. 
Now again, mooooar APM spamming!
|
Yeah it's great that someone found the 7% boost but I was obvious that it would get patched imo. A good hotfix patch imo
|
"Fixed an issue where queuing Return Cargo on a worker would cause it to ignore the built-in delay after it finished gathering."
Farewell mineral boosting, we hardly knew thee.
|
Well there goes sock folding right?
|
Looks like we cannot fold socks anymore.
Off topic: I always thought since I first heard the name that this Sockfolder guy had a grudge on Socke (I believe this is German for sock, correct me if I'm wrong)

That's not even what the bug was. If you have units surrounded by Ultras obviously there is going to be huge splash damage. It's basically like walking all of those Thors at once into the range of a mass of siege tanks. They're going to melt.
