This is pretty good, although I would have preferred a nerf to Marauder damage, an extra 500 HP is a SUBSTANTIAL buff (+33%). I thought Blizz would change it to 800/800 or something insignificant. I agree with most of the changes in this patch. | ||

The other changes are decent, though I think the Void Ray level 2 damage got too much nerfed, from 25 damage to armored to 16 is huge. The Roach range increase is welcomed, though I would have rather seen the Marauder nerfed. | ||

they should fix when you have a hatch and a lair hotkeyed under 1 key, and you wanna make 2 queens asap, the 2 queens get queued at the hatch, and the lair wont produce a single queen. push tab noobie | ||

Protoss: I like the nexus more hp, my nexuses got sniped often by marauders, I think it should help a bit. As for the VR upgrade I'm not so sure. Sure it's a cheese if you don't scout you are likely going to die, but now it just seems if you scout very late you can still fend it off. Not sure how good it will be for harass, I suppose it's nice that they can still do stuff even though they aren't charged up though. Zerg: Building health increase I'm pretty neutral on, I always liked the fact how a zerg if he loses a major tech building he is at a huge disadvantage, and was doable with a marine drop of one medivac, shouldn't change too much there. Infestors got a nice ability vs Blink stalker now, which I think is good. Will reward good usage of them. And the roach buff will be nice for zergs dealing with hellions & reapers if they werent nerfed so much. I don't think will be able to have more agression but it can hold it's ground. Corruption ability is pretty much unchanged, not sure who uses feedback rather than storm on hydra. (especially having both like in PvT is pretty rare in PvZ) Terran: The Thor buff seems strong, I myself know I will have trouble with 2 Thors + SCV pushes, as Im still not really sure what to make. I guess I can try storming the scvs? :/... Regardless it's a nice thing going for terran atleast. The depot before barracks will really hurt their agression though, and I don't agree with it at all, seems like there will be less and less room for cheese and we should be seeing more fast expand play. I think zerg will always go hatch first now, and I can see toss playing almost exclusively 2 gate core then expand, then place robo in PvT... Also the reaper, hmm... I think a big enough nerf for the reaper was depot before rax, I don't see much use for it now. Yeah, lots of people say use it lategame, but realistically when do we see it? Not often. Overall it's not too bad, but the depot before rax is the only thing that's throwing me off.

Roaches got a range upgrade. Medivacs speed decreased. Nexus HP increased. Blizzard, I support all the balance changes. Seems like they are on the right track. | ||
