So you can't feedback Thor or Corruptor now, but in return you can feedback PDD again. I think it's pretty telling that they had to invent an entirely new mechanic for these two abilities...

They really followed through with the supply depot/reaper speed changes. What are they thinking? Well you'll never see a game with more than 1 reaper anymore. And I'm never scouting before I finish my own barracks in TvT anymore since I have absolutely NOTHING to worry about. Just like Protoss and Zerg don't have to worry about Terran cheese anymore. My gosh...

But, to not just be a pessimistic panda, I do like the changes on the thor and corruptor. 250 cannon might actually get used. Corruptors are far more dangerous against an air-heavy toss now that they can't be nearly 1-shotted with feedback.

Edit: Void ray nerf fuck yeah.

I'm curious as to how this'll affect players tomorrow in DC.

Only viable PvT midgame push nerfed, yet all Terran options are as strong as ever. They're really making sure Protoss never win tournaments. Don't be surprised if 0 Protoss make it to Ro8 in GSL.

Wrong. Banelings do 80 (base) damage to buildings. You still need 5 (5x80=400) banelings to destroy a depot, same as before.

About your last point: I'm pretty sure that 250mm cannons are not avoided because it costs energy, but rather because of a bad mechanic. The ability itself is not getting changed in any way. Only thing that changes is that you can't feedback Thors anymore, which is good though. You still need to research the upgrade.

Supply Depots have 1 armor.

The buff to 250mm cannon is not the lack of the energy requirement, but the ability to use them immediately after the Thor is built rather than having to wait literally a full minute before you have enough energy.

Overharsh vr nerf. considering the only way they are really useful now is if you can proxy and surprise people with them. Toss seems heavily lacking in air compared to other races even more now.

This. Is, Too much. The roach range and reaper nerf are so fucking huge. Roach range means, no more pressuring with hellions(TLO vs Losira build doesn't work anymore) Reapers aren't viable anymore(this is some stupid 2v2 nerf i bet, 5 seconds was enough made it more then easy enough to stop) So how can a Terran harass the zerg now? If you don't harass a zerg you are just going to die because of zerg's economy.

Nice knowing ya Reaper. Speed upgrade requiring factory is the funniest thing ever. Roach range upgrade was enough for zerg to deal with them. The GSL will be very, very interesting.
