Most Ultras were dead when they reached the tank, and those few who did did the usual splash damage they also did in 1.1. All they did in 1.1 is apply the Ultra splah to buildings. | ||

It was just a programming mistype thats all. Think about it like it never happen. It was more like this: Patch 1.1: Blizz removes ram from ultralisks and they will use their regular attack on buildings. Community: Wow, this attack is OP when attacking buildings. Patch 1.1.1: Blizz nerfs the attack both against buildings and against units. This results in a ultralisk nerf against units. | ||

If Ultralisk kills a unit he targets another unit and his facing angle changes thus the position of damage changes. To be honest, it's kind of logical. | ||

Mass thors and hellions with blue flame absolutely crush roaches and zerglings. Ultralisk is the only counter. And hydras are fucking terrible. | ||

Think of this, terrans can now use planetary fortress + a few support for benalings and farm to 0 a gold area, until u get 1 broodlord in the sky using 50 million expansions... One of the most expensive units in the game, that is a melee unit (vs all other T4 units that are all ranged, and needs to get close to actually do even 1 damage) just got nearfed out of existence. I pity someone who actually will use them now, they will just waste money for the equivalent of a changeling or 3-4 zergling damage. "Blizzard is hiring" "We are looking for active people with experience in the gaming industry for testing our future patches. Please send us your CV. If u worked as a Toilet Cleaner, it's considered a + and will be hired instantaneously. Also having practiced jobs like staring at porn download rates as a job in our ever growing company" | ||

I'd be interested in seeing more pre-1.1 Ultra splash on Thors and other large units (Ultra v Ultra and Ultra v Colossus is fine). Edit: Nevermind, an Ultra attack at 5:18 on a siege tank splashes a Thor 2 units behind it. Definitely still extended by unit radius. | ||

The splash was OP against buildings, so they just decided to make the splash suck. Give us back Ram, please? | ||

Watch the pictures and dont be so damn igorant, its so obvious -.-* Oh and btw all those Terrans claiming 250mm cannons are not effectiv against Zerg... U just need to make more than just A-moving and using the cannons. Try to make a block with hellions -.-* the whole point of 250 MM cannons was to stun and destory the ultras but without the stun their regular attack when fully upgraded is better anyways cuz you can micro the thors while dishing out 90 damage per 2 attacks. and hellions blocking ultralisks works for about 2 seconds and then there isnt much to kill the flawk of zerglings that usually come in right after the ultras A move into your mechs. 250 MM cannon needs soemthing new because right now it simply serves to make thors really crappy vs protoss's High Templar's. Ideally they would still be good at killing CCs/Hatchs/Nexus' but marauders prove to do that job better. i think the 250 MM cannon should just be an ability like blink except with a very very long cooldown like say 5 minutes or so cuz the energy just makes thors extremely weak. | ||

I guess next will be Broodlords, they just move too fast right now and you can't counter them with Thor and Marines. | ||

Ban Type: Obscene Language Expires: () Ban Reason: This shows how it is all f4ggotly orchestrated that queeerf4ggots can feel good about themselves with Terran. Hahaha, keep giving them lollipops blizzard, another game or life in general will hit hard with the facts HAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA Maybe Activision/Blizzard just wants american kids to feel good about themselves? Or maybe they just want to display Terran (America) as the "good" opposed to Zerg ("The bad") It smells like that sooooo bad... Because some Terran units are really Texan and they even added farting noises when clicking zerglings more than 3 times (at least in the beta) Well it's a pity for them that they are hypnotised in thinking America is "the good" and it will only create more lamentable fear psychosis... Not my karma! P.S. Reading my perma-ban again and again gives me so much relief... I hope more zerg players will find comfort in it and I hope arrogant over-confident Terran players will have their illusionary skill hypnosis broken.  User was temp banned for this post. | ||
