If you targeted the Marines, you would hit barely anything. Yes, that part is true, but that part is also because hitting the Thor would do the 35 damage instead of 15. That makes a huge difference compared to hitting the marines for 15. Attacking the tanks has almost the same effect. Regardless - I guess they made the ultra splash like Cleave in Warcraft 3. | ||

In a head-on battle, Thors loss. Flanked? Thors lose. All of those situations now say "Thors win". | ||

This change seems ridiculous, can't wait to see it in live action or when i play myself...  | ||

Simple Thor > Ultra or Ultra > Thor is stpid imo. It requires no skill to micro and it isnt even cool to watch. And dont have an answer to what Z can do other than mass ultra but making Ultras so strong that they simply kill everything without being hurt is not a viable solution for a competitive game. | ||

Which makes it perfectly fine for thors to counter both mutalisks (Yes they counter them cost for cost even with magic box, saying otherwise is downright stupid) and Ultras at the same time (Although not hard counters but you get the point) | ||

I'm starting to wonder if Blizzard really WANTS people to play Zerg... I mean, it's not very beginner friendly, there's practically no Zerg instructions, and the Zerg challenges (especially the Infestation) was of limited use ingame. :/ | ||

As a zerg its about unit combination. If your just attacking with ultras as a damaging unit and focusing on how bad it does on its own isnt this out of context? Im not sure but what would be better? 2 ultras attacking into a group or 1 ultra + 300/200 worth of banelings attacking into a group? I'm a bit unsure if i should post this as people could technically pick me apart but im just saying i dont think ultras are broken they just arnt a build a heap and a move win anymore. They may be turning into a defensive unit rather then an offensive unit for example? | ||

They'd be better off making other units better sometimes instead T_T Oh they're doing that too. Buffing terrans and nerfing zergs. Best of both worlds .There is not much left for zerg to nerf. | ||

They may be turning into a defensive unit rather then an offensive unit for example? Against Thors/Armored? Ultras all the way. Problem ist that Zerg lacks a counter to Metal, Ultralisk was that Counter, Ultralisk is now weaker. Zergling don't work because a few Igniter-Hellions completly nullify them. If Roaches or Hydras would work this wouldn't be that troublesome, but they don't.... | ||

If the zerg players feel they need bugged units to win games then this is indeed depressing. | ||
