Is anyone seeing this as a potential buff to the Void Ray? Maybe now it can actually be used as support in an army like the banshee because of the buff to the 1st charge. It may have gotten weaker as cheese but isn't it better as a general unit? VR still own queens, and i seen VR in main armys now.. they are still pretty decent (still didnt see a real game of toss having to deal with ultras with VR nerf) | ||

I decided to play a Co-op game with the patch and the Terran sent out an early SCV, built a depot in the middle of the map and a rax in the base of the AI, and lost, raging at me that this patch was terrible. Even proxy gate takes longer than this to achieve. I enjoy nearly all the changes as I not longer have to do Muta/Ling to be viable as zerg. The VR changes I think are better, I laughed at an uncharged VR pre-patch, but if a few VRs fully charged in your base and you were recovering from a setback they became very hard to stop. Of course a healthy player can smack down a VR team, but in certain cases the VR was just a bit much. | ||

I really don't like that reasoning. Having too many parallels between the races just makes the game less interesting. | ||

To me it feels like they're evening out the playing field a bit when it comes to cheese. | ||

Its been known for quite a while that the cannon ability hugely overlaps with the thor's own natural attack. DPS is so similar that the ability is usually skipped. The removal of energy is a step in the right direction I think, but I feel that the thor in general is in need of a unit overhaul. The Thor is cost effective against basically every ground unit thanks to the raw DPS it puts out at a whopping 7 range. Its essentially a big boring marine, with an ability that overlaps with its own DPS. Personally, I'd like to see Thor ground DPS or range toned down so it can fit its originally intended "tank unit" role, rather than something you can mass and a-move. At the same time, the cannon ability should be redesigned to somethink more interesting than "do X damage". I liked the original AoE bombardment ability, but it feels like it overlaps a bit too much with what siege tanks are supposed to do. Any ideas? yeah i feel you there. i still kinda think that 250mm being a research is just kinda wrong. not many people use it afaik and yeah, it is just way too unattractive for not being special. i'm never creative when it comes to new mechanics but yeah, i guess if someone could come up with some ideas it would be nice and interesting. | ||

SO yes, i case they made a LAN version meantime, chances are they will play with the new patch. | ||

Any ideas? i think it would be better to increase the range of 250mm to 8 while decreasing the regular attack range to 6 and posibly let the thor use it's AA attack against colossi if it's commanded to attack the colossi outside the ground range thors only weakness atm is the inability to micro the big bugger  | ||

Tested in unit tester, doesnt work. However, you can attack your own unit and damage them with the splash (lol). | ||

VR still own queens, and i seen VR in main armys now.. they are still pretty decent (still didnt see a real game of toss having to deal with ultras with VR nerf) Really? I just played a 2v2 where 4 charged VRs died to 4 Queens (not even using Transfuse). They certainly would have won the battle before the patch. | ||

After 1.1.2 expect Protoss to be the new Zerg. I'll be surprised if there are any Protoss past the round of 16 in GSL2. | ||
