If infestors can't fungal air they aren't worth getting, on top of which zerg now lacks a good answer to mass air aside from massing their own air. | ||

-- Hallucination research time decreased from 110 to 80. Awesome. really, this is a good buff to protoss scouting. Observer cost decreased from 50/100 to 25/75. Unnecessary with the hallucination buff. Phoenix build time decreased from 45 to 35. VERY VERY unnecessary and actually lowers the skill ceiling of PvZ. The idea is that when phoenix's come out against 5 mutas, the protoss player should have the micro to keep his phoenix alive. You haven't been seeing this, but as players get better this is what will happen. With this change, the reward for keeping the phoenix alive is lessened. the skillful play is being nerfed here. This is one I hope doesn't make it out of testing. Void Ray Now deals 20% more damage to massive targets. Flux Vanes speed upgrade removed. This would have fixed PvP,but then Flux Vanes got removed, so it will not fix PvP. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. It is still going to be collosus vs collosus. Terran Vikings have range 9 and 2.75 air speed with massive frontload damage, and have trouble positioning against collosus. what the shit do you think range 7, 2.25 speed charging voidrays are going to do? Repairing SCVs now assume the same threat priority as the unit they’re repairing. Fucking finally. Fungal Growth no longer affects air units. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STUPID. This makes zerg vs zerg even worse. If this was indeed changed because flux vanes was removed, Then put back flux vanes and give back fungal growth air abilities. God i hope this doesnt get through testing. | ||

When Blizzard announced the whole Supply Depot before Barracks, Terrans were up in arms. Terrans acted like Terran gameplay was dead. It's fine. It didn't ruin their ability to apply early-game pressure. It didn't stop them from entering the mid-game or going Banshees or anything else. Terran play is fine, borderline over-powered in the early-game. People weren't really complaining that terran gameplay would die. SD before rax just removed any cheese terran can do and dumbed down the openings in the terran arsenal a lot, which sucks. Early game pressure can still be made, sure but not cheesy openings equivalent to 6pool or proxy 2gate. This is most noticeable in TvT, where I atleast see a lot later scouts, since you don't really have anything major to spot, just bunker your ramp if you see 1rax and no ref/fact. | ||

It was more like something I knew my opponent likely wouldn't count on. It was counter-intuitive and only known to those who read about it. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I can't say I'm mad it is gone. It was an exploit of the AI. I'll be interested to see if this affects a changeling in the mineral line... | ||

I think that means SCV doesn't hide anymore while building, hence easily sniped. | ||

I (and a shit ton of other people, I was ~top 150 Zerg EU last time) have already huge problems with Phoenixes. Now there isn't even ANY chance of slowing them down / or disabling their mobility? How am I supposed to ever kill those things? A good player will just keep microing them forever if necessary. Same for Voidrays actually when you don't go Air (which is now bad anyways). You're still having a lot troubles fighting of Void Rays with Queens / Hydras duo to Forcefields as seen by July against oGsMC on X'el Naga Caverns. Without fungal you're never guaranteed to actually kill them. On top of that Mutas get so much stronger in ZvZ as, again, you cannot slow down their immobility which means... that it all sucks ;f Yeah and let's not talk about Medivacs. Even against those huge Bioballs Infestors haven't proofed to successful yet because of their huge investment. Not being able to fungal Vikings (which is often essential for Broodlord play) and worse, Medivacs is just ridiculous. Now you have to go Mutas or Hydra (l a w l) to actually stop drop play :/ But it's just a test patch, so I give them that ;P | ||
