Other than that it doesn't seem like a huge change.
Thanks for testing!

It always did, I believe, except in PTR. Now the damage is circle shaped not arc shaped. | ||

But seriously, what are you talking about? Zerg should be more overpowered than it already is in the late game? | ||

Why more nerf? i just dont get it. I feel the same. Just what_the_FUCK. I wanna scream. 3 zergs in GSL code S ro 16. You wanna see a big fucking zero dear Blizzard ? What the hell is going on, can someone explain to me what is the fucking idea behind nerfing fungal, ultralisk and zerg in general ? To me it makes absolutely no sense, its like 'hey, lets make them even worse' Srsly ... | ||

Propably not but it, and GSL s1, does make a point that zerg certainly isn`t overpowered, many people believe thats its quite the opposite, so whats the fucking idea behind nerfing them ? Does Blizzard hate zergs or what ? | ||

This could help against burrowed roaches or banelings but otherwise, its kind of pointless, but at least it's not a nerf. Good to know my testing resulted in a positive result. You're forgetting about lowered depots. Ultras are very effective at taking down buildings. | ||

The ultralisk is weak IMO. It's most evident against protoss, where it does badly against literally ALL units. Before the splash changes it was good against stalkers, but now it doesn't even seem to work against those. A size increase is just depressing. But, to be fair, its only the PTR. Wtf you talkin bout willis Nothing in this game is scarier than half a dozen cows charging at my collossi/stalker/sentry/zeal ball along with a couple dozen speedlings. My units just evaporate. I don't really think it was a nerf, more like a sideways change. The larger ultra is probably a nerf but the more forward pointing area of effect means ( as the op showed) it's got a slightly longer range. | ||

There is no nerf, just a change in behaviour that might actually buff the unit a bit. | ||

To me it makes absolutely no sense, its like 'hey, lets make them even worse' Srsly ... i resent posts like this. you look at the numbers, without analysing the facts. fruitdealer is the only zerg player who underperformed in the code S ro 32, and one of the two matches he failed to win go get into ro 16 was against a ZERG player. the other zergs in the tournament are just weaker than the T/P players in their respective groups and you wouldn't expect them to progress... please look at calibre of players, not numbers. then you have to consider that many zerg/protoss should be in code S but only made code A because they were beaten by 'overpowered' terran of GSL 1 which took place in september. | ||

By late game toss and terran armies are pretty much composed of units that rape ultras. They are sooo expensive and just dont seem cost effective. | ||
