Probably the three biggest debated changes, no removed. Nice!

So you only lose 1/2 of your Phoenix? It's irrelevant really.

quite dissapointing of blizzard, specially with the "hold down key".

So I assume they also approve of keyboard-macros that does more then one button press in a single press?

Exactly.

You see superstars like Jaedong playing at 350apm, and now you see 'so called' high level SC2 players complaining that:
"I cant leave all my hatches on one hotkey and hold down ONE button to macro anymore".

SC2 players already have it very very easy mechanically ffs.

I love you Blizzard! I want Protoss to be stronger, I just don't think these changes were the way to do it.

Fungal Growth outranges Graviton Beam significantly (9 to 4). How are you 'not supposed to be hit by it'?

people who put all hatches on 1 key are not fully utilizing their tools anyways. it's so much better to control what spawns where.

very glad to see these reverts. i understood the value in removing the air feature of fungal (to allow the muta-ling/roach-hydra dichotomy in zvz), but without it zerg would suffer too much against toss and terran.


and im sick of hearing terran players yell about zerg op. terran in SC2 is a far far cry from the overwhelmingly demanding micro of terran in broodwar. from what i have seen thus far in the ladder, terran players have a random assortment of builds, and random collection of units, all of which are equally viable vs whatever enemy they are fighting.
in my opinion, BEING A RANDOM PLAYER that is 2300+ in diamond, the terran "raw skill" average is far below that of other races. combining things like planetary fortresses, cheap concussive shells, extreme range thors and cheap medivacs, terrans micro demands are miniscule compared to that of protoss or zerg. and in my experience, when playing as protoss or zerg vs a terran, the build is usually dependent on what the terran is going - which is wrong. the terran tech tree should not dictate the dynamic of the game.
personally, i think it was done like this intentionally to get non-broodwar players into the game via a combination of the campaign and then battlenet.


and what nubbin said that zerg was too powerful late game? zergs tier three units are garbage, and used rarely. in fact, the ENTIRE basis of ZvP or ZvT is that the zerg HAS to stay 1 base ahead of the enemy or its just not a fair fight. terran is quite strong late game, and toss is the strongest. zergs power is early and mid game. period.

Wasn't someone saying he had a source who told him the FG nerf was related to the removal of Flux Vanes?
Now that FG is back to old how about bringing VR speed back or give it another upgrade that makes it immune to ensnare effects?

He'll probably respond with something like "the infestor is so easy to see etcetc" but of course if we made storm spontaneously combust mutalisks on touch he probably wouldn't be so happy.

Really happy about these changes.

I was a big fan of the patch outside of these 3 changes and with them not gone I think 1.2 is a great patch overall. The phoenix change is fine now that fungal is back to what it was i'm thinking.

Obviously the game still needs more tweeks but this patch was a step in the right direction.

That has nothing to do with mechanics. That's literally spamming the same key over again. They are different. Spamming the same key over again doesn't require any "mechanics" it's just tedious. And there's nothing you can even compare that to in BW. All larvae build the same thing in BW if they're all selected from a single click, so it'd be a terrible analogy.

The closest comparison I could think of would be suggesting something like "if you have 10 marines selected, you should have to click T ten 10x to stim all 10 of them" as opposed to T merely stimming them all at once.

Fungal growth is basically a way of defending against mass air harassment that gets too bold.

It's relatively easy to snipe infestors during big pitched battles before you commit with your air force, or to just defend your air units with the rest of your colossus/gateway army when they get fungaled during a fight.

Wow now I really like this upcoming patch. Having to spam hotkeys would have gotten very annoying, especially with zerg.

Thank god. I was really not excited for mass-muta vs roach all-in every ZvZ. We'll see how pheonix openers do, I'm not so sure they needed a buff, but we'll see. ZvP on Jungle Basin sounds pretty imbossible to me against pheonix into collosus. Maybe I'll nydus all-in every game. (hint, I probably will)

Lol, I love the "people who hold down buttons are noobs!!11eleven" talk. Seriously, if you don't play zerg, don't talk about this one. Next time you have to morph thirty banelings by destroying your 'e' key, then come talk.
Teching to hive too quickly isn't just a risk: it's an ultrarisk

I liked the no repeat hotkey for Zerg.

Sad to see so many noobs complaining because they can't handle the mechanics. I don't even put my all my hatcheries on hotkey and hold down a button. I actually individually hotkey every hatch I have.

Sad to see TL trying to dumb down the mechanics. So pissed off right now. I don't care other races are easier to macro, Zerg is a race that requires high APM so deal with it.


This is absurd. There is no "skill" in being able to push the same button 40 times really fast. It is merely a tedious and unnecessary addition that adds nothing and detracts plenty since no longer will you have lings all popping at once but rather streaming out a few at a time, which is huge.

Also, the change would have affected zerg much much more than the other races which again is absurd given the fact zerg already takes much more "clicking" and apm to macro as zerg.

It wasn't anything like the proposed change in BW and there is no reason it should be like that in SC2.

I think everybody knows now that Zerg players really have low APM since the counter includes all hold command keys.
