EPT
my version number now says 1.2.0 so im going to assume that was the patch yes. i down think it would have to be a huge amount of MB just to tweak unit build times and similar things.
edit - now i cant play on NA anymore
Patch 1.2.0 released! - Page 4

Stim still hasn't been nerfed. Zerg can still 6 pool, while BOTH of the other races require a food building first. These are the biggest, most needed changes right now to balance the game not only for 1v1, but for team games as well. They might require some additional balance changes to be implemented effectively, but when those changes finally go through the game will be significantly more balanced. | ||

If you lose to it, you deserved to. To call that one of the "biggest most needed changes" speaks to why I'm so thankful Blizzard takes user feedback with a grain of salt. | ||

If you can't defend a 6 pool, it's your fault. Not the games fault. | ||

I can check them to see if they've gone active .EDIT: Also when I hit F10 the normal options come up plue "Hotkeys" .Void Ray damage change? I think it got bonus damage against massive units in the PTR. | ||

If phoenices would not be ATA only that would be sick, just fly over a mineral line to do damage, no lifting micro required any more, the build time buff is good enough as it is. | ||

Are you serious? 6 pool is a big time gamble for zerg which usually fails, and only viable against protoss on four player maps IF they scout you last by chance, and even then most good protoss can hold it off. 6 Pool is worthless against Terran, and not that great against Zerg either. Its only used frequently in the lower leagues where people don't know how to scout, don't know how to wall-in, and don't know how to micro workers. The few times I've tried 6 pool I got owned hardcore. | ||

(reserving my own judgment on the issue) is this an opinion or something you know for sure? just to clarify, zergs now have to go like 6 ovie, 6 pool? | ||

That guy was saying he thinks something SHOULD happen to them. And he's a nimrod. User was warned for this post | ||

Thanks! http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=174127#8 Only difference between extreme and ultra I've noticed is that shadows for units are more detailed.

Do I really need to be more explicit ? This is a joke to me, hope the Blizzard balance team is not fully renumerated or that the've other stuff to do than proposing balance changes. So far you haven't added anything to this discussion. If you're going to bring up balance, say something more useful than "balance sucks, they need to change it". Bring up what changes they need to make or what is wrong with the changes introduced in 1.2. So far it doesn't sound like you even know what 1.2 does. Blizzard's balance team is known to be relatively small and they've already said that since the game is getting close to balanced they will be making only minor tweaks over a longer time period to get it closer to perfect. Regardless of how small changes are, you still need several months for the metagame to adjust itself before you can see if there are any issues with the changes. I'm surprised your posts haven't gotten you warned or temp banned yet. I guess mods haven't seen it yet. | ||

If you wanted to nerf 6 pools then the best option would be to increase the starting number of workers to 8 or so. That way, the earliest Zerg could pool would be on 8, and build orders would be unchanged. But there is no need to nerf the 6 pool, its already pretty terrible as it is. Its only viable against protoss on four player maps praying they don't scout you first. | ||
