Shouldnt be overpowerd now that you cant get speed before factory, and roach range is increased. | ||

Void ray nerf pretty significant but Don't really care about it that much, just aids in the fact that it becomes less of a worry for T players. | ||

This is a retarded patch, nerfing voids and HT's (cant feedback thors? stupid) Why the hell would you want to build a void ray now? The main purpose of them is to get that Charge, which does awesome damage.. They suck in the precharging stage, and thats how it was balanced. Now, voidrays are just total garbage all around. I would of took a banshee anyday prepatch over a voidray, now its even more of a joke. I don't get protosses saying they can't feedback thors anymore. Honestly, when was the last time a T used thors in his composition against you ? I said honestly ! I watch a lot of games, I'm not even sure I've ever seen someone make a thor against a protoss unless it was an early mass repair 1-2 thor allin. Immortals are destroying thors already. | ||

Marines and Hydras in numbers at like 1/4 or 1/3 the cost of the Void Rays could fend off Void Rays but that wasn't enough? Vikings totally owned Void Rays before they got speed upgrade and now they own them even when the Void Rays get speed upgrade. Stalkers can probably approach charged up Void Rays now too since that reduction in damage against armored is so huge. And of course Protoss keeps getting worse against air... brood lords, corruptors and battlecruisers are now much more difficult to deal with.I couldn't disagree more. Voidrays were way to powerful. I could never punish my protoss opponents for playing like retards. guy had 2 gates and a stargate and had about 5 voidrays after he fail pushed me. He made an expansion and i had 4 raxes. Guess who couldn't even kill 4 units? me. tbh i like to live in a game where i can punish my opponents for making bad decisions. Like expanding vs a 4 rax. 5 units should not beable to decimate my army in less then 5 seconds when its fully charged. Also another reason for this change is to make protoss use carriers more. Voids aren't useless they are just going to have be played with differently. I wish i could gather a few of my replays but i didn't save these ones to show you. But voidrays were a universal unit. GOOD at deffending and GOOD at attacking and HARASSING. But i think this is going to prompt carrier usage more lategame which imo is a good thing. | ||

Why not raise nitro to 200/200 or something instead of a factory. and the supply depot before barracks is fucking retarded. Bye bye BBS, 10 rax 11 depot, etc etc. As for Protoss. Voidrays should have had its HP buffed and damage the same or something becuase now they will be even more LOL. As for zerg~ Roach range.. meh sure. Its not like reapers will ever be used again anyways. HP on buildings... lol.. I disagree with it. Why not reduce unit damage and have more interesting battles instead of the ones that last 3 seconds.

Depends on what way you look at it. I see both as a nerf but the T nerf takes away a few builds. Toss will just have their voidrays "reduced" in effectiveness. | ||

Supply doesn't matter unless you're maxed. If you're maxed you probably want some Brood Lords, so Corruptors are useful. And there's nothing "inherently" bad about a unit that has a very specific role. If it's good at what it does then it's good. If you could build one Corruptor that had 2000 health and one-shot killed every Colossus, you aren't inherently behind because you spent a few hundred resources to deal with only one part of the Protoss army... it would be incredibly efficient and undoubtedly the best move against any Protoss getting Colossi. Of course Corruptors aren't that strong, but they are strong enough that they are good at their role. And you don't even seem to consider the things Corruptors prevent. Warp Prism harass and Carriers are never even seen against Zerg because Corruptors shut them down so well that nobody even tries. | ||

i wished they put a longer time on charge and shorter time for the VR to cool down. besides that, i think the patch is ok. I am kind of afraid of roach timing attacks PvZ on FE maps, with roach having a bigger range. | ||

Zerg only needs to scout because of all the options T has. Which are getting nerfed away. It's another way of accomplishing the same thing: Zerg can be prepared for whatever T is up to. | ||

We've already dealt with Reapers. They've already been nerfed, and the community seems to have figured out how to deal with them weeks ago. I do not understand why things get "double nerfed" like this after the problem has already been solved. First they increased Reaper build times; now they're delaying upgrades, improving counter units, and making buildings stronger (not specifically for Reapers but I'm sure they were in mind too). And now depot before Rax? Come on... where's the fun in that? It's not a huge deal but really, it just removes some creative play. And VRs. What the hell? I can't recall the last time I saw them being used in any OP way. Makes me wonder who they're catering to. Is it the pro-gamers or the sub-platinum league casuals? The reaper nerf was most definitely for team games. PP can now stand a chance against ZT. | ||
