In all honesty, high templar ARE completely worthless outside of killing marines, marauders, zealots, ghosts, medivacs, banshees, battlecruisers, zerglings, hydralisks, infestors, scvs, drones, and probes. fuckin things SUCK! | ||

This means that phoenixes are a much better investment, unless the toss goes colossi, so the Zerg will be behind as a result(they HAVE to make corruptors to counter phoenix unless the toss player is retarded and lets them die to hydra) Ugh, so many T and P players are like "Now Z knows what it feels like to have to deal with mass muta" Z does not have any unit that shreds mutas the way Stimmed marines, thors, and phoenixes do. Z relied on FG+Hydra, but without FG, the stupidly slow hydras cant catch them. If that FG change was put in place, Hydra's speed needed to be buffed to compensate, which didnt happen. What people don't understand is that this affects ZvZ more than any other mu-it turns ZvZ into a mutafest. Every other change in this patch is fine except for the FG nerf and the hotkey thing. Seriously, Z has to press Z 50 times late game to make a ton of zerglings? Even BW was better than that. While I won't defend (or decry) the fungal change yet, I'd like to point out that a heavy Pheonix opening would logically force corruptors onto the map, thereby AUTOMATICALLY shutting down Collosus play, no? Collosus is one of the most popular and most used units in the Protoss arsenal. I think at the very least it creates an interesting dynamic. | ||

This has been an issue all along that a lot of people have brought up... static defense in SC2 has such a short range that it becomes impossible to actually use it for its intended role as a base defender. Give static D +1 range and it'd solve a lot of problems. Also, even as a Zerg player, I'm a bit disappointed about the removal of the ability to build at the bottom of ramps. Yes, it was annoying, but it was clever and offered more variety in games. I hate when games are dumbed down too much and there are no more "tricks" to use. | ||

Didn't you know? there's only two units in the game when we talk about balance. | ||

Even BW was better than that. why dont you make both corrupters AND mutas then. its not like youre restricted to one or the other. mix them together and you get the good harassment and the antiphoenix you need | ||

OK, infestor change may be bad for zvz and tvz, but the ONLY and I repeat, the ONLY viable counter toss has vs mutas is phoenix. if those get shut down by infestor play, what could toss possibly do? toss cant do robo AND stargate, thats way to gas intensive. help me out on this one. | ||
