http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/761331#blog For ease of reading, the Balance ideas follow: Here are a few of the changes we currently have planned: · We're increasing roach range. This will allow roaches to be more effective in large groups, giving the zerg more options in the mid to end game. · Fungal Growth will now prevent Blink, which will give zerg a way to stop endlessly Blinking stalkers which can be very challenging to deal with in large numbers. · The Barracks are going to require a Supply Depot, which will impact a lot of early terran reaper pushes. · The reaper speed upgrade will require the Factory, which is meant to weaken a lot of the early terran reaper attacks that dominate so many matches, especially in team games. · We're making a number of increases to the health of zerg buildings, which will make the very vulnerable zerg technology structures more resistant to raids. We don’t expect these hit point changes to have a super significant impact on the game, but the current numbers felt way too low. | ||

To my knowledge, it starts today. When is the earliest that we'll know who made it through after today? Thanks!  | ||

Zerg changes: Infestors now have a 50% chance of spawning Infested Marauders. Stim is now upgradable for Infested Marines and Infested Marauders at the spawning pool. Ultralisks now have Catapult Mode. Catapult mode immobilizes the ultralisk, but nearby banelings can be catapulted within 13 range of the ultralisk. Corruptors have been given the ability to switch between flight and crawl mode. While in crawl mode, Corruptors are treated as ground units and can not shoot air units. Mutalisks have been given the burrow ability, and can attack and move while burrowed. Hatcheries have a new evolution. They may evolve into Orbital Hatcheries and gain the following new abilities: Calldown: Overlord - instantly calls down an overlord anywhere on the map to provide scouting information. Calldown: Hat - gives an existing overlord a hat. Happy overlords provide 8 additional supply. Calldown: Ultralisk - instantly calls down an ultralisk. Ultralisks can now mine minerals. Drones have a new evolution. They may evolve into the Point Defense Drone, and they will shoot down projectiles. | ||

I remember there was a starcraft 2 trailer where one wave of units would destroy the other, then a new wave would come in and counter the winning wave. For examples, immortals came in and blew away siege tanks. I can't find it anymore. Could someone give me a link? | ||

It's ruining the matchup. It's really limiting terrans options. And if they don't fix it I'm going to start playing another race. | ||

But as everyone knows, you let the mutas/phoenix separate and the Thor no longer does splash. You can't "Magic Box" Colossus/Ultralisk/SiegeTanks, its a bug, a glich. It's ruining the matchup. no | ||

It's really limiting terrans options. And if they don't fix it I'm going to start playing another race. So suddenly a Terran has a problem with the game, good, I can understand that, maybe he want some suggestion? Some appropriate responses.... Oh wait, what is he asking? Oh he want Blizzard to "solve" it, or else! He's changing his race! Well we are welcome. If you think Terran is being strangled? Or use you phrase, limited? Try Zerg and see what you can pull off with only handful of unit choices. And the meat grinding mechanism which you're just gonna LOVE. Also I don't think you're gonna want to see what's happening to Protoss, they've most recently got adopted into Blizzard tough-love patching series; becoming the latest punch-bunny for Mr. Browder. | ||
